Description
continuing to explore the character of Bruce, Pan's childhood rival and fellow little shitstill learning to how draw him, pardon the inconsistencies. Moving from left to right, from the top we have:
-Lil Brucie finds an abandoned baby chick one day playing alone near the shore. After thoroughly making sure nopony else is around to see, he sneaks it home and calls it his baby, feeding her a steady diet of lizards and canned anchovies. He names her Pearlie and dotes on her like crazy (so long as nopony is watching, of course)
-oh no bruce tried to sneak his baby birdie to school but here comes dorky nosy pandora no must protect pearlie from over exuberant draconequus brat girl
-Pearlie all grown up. She's a sea hawk and trained to help Bruce fish. She wuvs her master and smothers him in feathery nuzzles and fish barf (Bruce doesn't mind)
-haha bruce your only real friend in the world is a dumb bird, what a loser
-Bruce catches a great white shark pup for tagging, as part of his future job at a marine biology lab
His character is partly an homage to my favorite conservationist ever, Steve Irwin (rip), so I guess Bruce is from whatever the Equestrian equivalent of Australia is, has a marked 'strayan accent
-exploring the visual elements of Bruce's character, it's amazing how adding thick manbrows adds so much more jerkassery to his face. Also stallions are hard to draw urgh. His face is constantly set to either scowl or smirk, depending on circumstance

Steve Irwin was my childhood idol, I was so crushed when he died. It's awesome to see an homage to him in Bruce

O.O If I was Pandora, I wouldn't be able to resist him. HE'S AWESOME LOOKING. His little scruffy beard thing, and those eyebrows top everything off

Is it bad that I'm shipping Bruce and Pandora because of the prom picture?
I love his design; he's so pretty.
(I'd hazard a guess that he would take offense to being called pretty. xD)
Also, I'm so happy that you have him as an homage to Steve Irwin. That's a really nice touch.

He is absolutely darling even if he bullied Pandora, kids can grow from such and learn from their mistakes. I hope this isn't a hard subject due to this being the animal that killed Steve Irwin (I loved him completely and I wanted to even ask him a fan letter but he died when I was to small to write a proper paragraph and his daughters show Bindi the jungle girl, IΒ actually loved that.) but I was wondering if he could become friends with my merpony. (It being a sting ray they often get captured, that I have seen from a ship once and a whole thing can start from trying to catch fish for his job.) (If possible could we roleplay?)

He was killed by a sing ray btw not a great white shark

No, I know. He was stung in the heart by the barb on their tail. But my character which is a merpony is a sting ray not a great white shark. When I went on a ship for vacation I saw people catching sting ray so I connected on how he catches shark. (Because they are cartilaginous fish related to sharks. )

Oh wow, I love his design! Great work with the little details making up his character, and I'm so glad you expanded on his original concept! Once again, I love your style, and keep it up!

Now that, is a wild child.

I love this character development for him 
Why is he so handsome? It might be the chin scuff, the mane, blue eyes? The world may never know!

Good, I'm glad. I feel this new direction for Bruce works a lot better.

I like the fact that he has perfectly styled hair even though he never brushes it-like Robin from Teen Titans and Fonzie
Just pick up a comb and be like-what am I doing? I don't need this-I'm awesome already

Loving him so far! How'd he get his scar, though?

Love the Manbrows, that just cracked me up, and singlehandedly made my day! xD

I too wasn't sure about this guy at first, but this is a MUCH better expansion on his personality and design. I genuinely adore him now.

That's really reassuring to hear.

Interesting character! I like him already!

oh god dammit he's hot
why would you do this to me (AND you modeled him off of my childhood icon, bonus points for that)
π: 0 β©: 1
it's funny how many people keep saying he's hot
considering he's a basic mlp stallion model, just with big eyebrows and scowly face XD
π: 0 β©: 2
I admit, part of it is personality. I have a soft spot for "jerks with soft nougat-y centers" types.
See: Exhibit A *points to icon*.

It's probably the visual appeal of your art style mixed with the 'rugged bad boy' look that meshed perfectly to create a 'hot' character

WHO IS HE AND HOW COME I NEVER HEARD ABOUT HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
