let me tell you something, even if they are trying to attract someone, holy shit they are bad and for sure, they come from that era. Like not even the big boobs from the last Rainbow pic save her and that´s pretty difficult.

>Sonic fandom crossover was an influence, but there were several factors at play. Biggest were: adolescent, coming of age cringe (Sonic and DA in general).
The golden era of the fandom ladies and gentlemen. The holy grail in the NSFW territory.....good times, yeah, good times for coming up with cringy stuff and having an awkward position about the Rule 34. Kids chugging Mountian, listening to Linkin Park and emo songs and posting their masterpieces on Deviantart. What could possibly go wrong around that era?

>And ponies are easy to draw, that skill doesn't translate well for the human parts. You had some real wonky portions, things looking just off, pony head grafted to human body, etc.
yeah, it feels awkward and the translation wasn´t that well established. Especially that Pinkie Pie, she didn´t deserve that treatment. Scootaloo shows how much of a problem appears when you try to transfer the hooves into humanoid positions.

I agree that it requires some skill and a proper style to draw them. There is a time that even for clop, you have to be selective for pleasing yourself with your eyes.

Try to compare that style with this one. In theory, this pic shares almost everything that was cringy at the time: sexualized anthro, a ship between two characters and a pony getting that treatment....yet it got featured on EQD and has near 350 upvotes...

>Then there was also the cringe of fetishism, awkwardly sexualized combined on top of that.

>These sort of snouty, sonic tier furry heads where the worst to me...
F to the three pics. Maybe Chrysalis would get some sort of appeal but that hat and clothing style just turns off any possible viewer.
