Pony Spotlight #29: Clockwise Whooves!

“Well hello friends, it’s your ever lovable host Spotlight Heart here! Now I know what you’re all thinking, and yes, Clockwise Whooves isn’t exactly a lesser known blog. But then again, there’s a lot to learn from it for those of you who have big aspirations, and for others it is a great blog that truly represents the fandom in an amazing way.”

“So after getting a couple messages like this one…”

“…we’re taking a look at a much beloved blog, Clockwise Whooves!”


“So how do we begin taking a look at this? Well, we can’t talk about a blog without taking a look at the artist behind it. The artist, who goes by the name ‘Saturn’, has been making a name for themselves and garnering attention on DeviantArt for years, but gained fame amongst the MLP Fandom for her 'Celestial Crevice’ piece.”

“Truly a masterpiece to behold. There really are no words!”

“Yes, It was easy for many to see the talent of this artist, and if fans came for the art, then you could certainly say they stayed for the style, for it was not only the quality of the artwork and precise attention to detail that made this artist and her blog so popular.”


“Remember folks! It’s best to be creative, rather than rely primarily on detail! And this artist has certainly delivered! We’ve all fallen in love with the subject matter of her art, which can only be described as 'Futuristic Steampunk’. And now after starting this blog only a couple of months ago, we have all fallen in love with their rendition of the ever popular Doctor Whooves.”

“So what’s the story then? Well, out of all the Doctor Whooves blogs that deal with him actually being a time traveller (Yes, some have him as Time Turner), this is one that has some very best potentional. This Doctor seems to have quite the extensive family and company, as he not only has Derpy Whooves as his traditional companion, but also as his lovely wife. Along with her, he also travels with their two daughters, Dinky and Sparkler, as well the always popular Captain Jack Harkness.”

“You know, if you’re thinking that him being the great Captain Jack and all would earn him some respect….well…then you’d be wrong. They basically treat him like their personal errand boy.”

“And yes, on that note, this blog does deal with a great deal of comedy. Of course, there are some story elements at work, but the artist knows how to definently keep it light-hearted enough to be comical, while also having just enough story to keep you interested. This great balance is aided by breaks in the story dealing with just answering questions and dealing with comical situations. Though, to be honest, it could be said that these may slow the progress of the story and interupt the flow of the narrative and plot, but yet they still prove to be quite entertaining, and provides some interesting looks at the characters.”

“Who ever knew little old Derpy could be intimidating right?”

“You have to love the shading that the artist gives to her works, as well as the attention to detail for backgrounds, and what other blog do you know of that has all the ponies dressed in outfits that would make Rarity drool. And even the coloring and hues used in her artwork can be simply beautiful at times in their simplicity.”

“In fact, aside from the breaks with the story’s plot, the only other complaint one could make about the blog would perhaps be that the artist has a tiny touch of yaoi fangirl in them, though this isn’t shoved in your face and is actually pretty subtle (for the most part).”

“In conclusion, this blog isn’t just any other blog. It is the very representation of the fandom! It has the dedication to artwork and detail, it has love of background characters and fancanon, it has crossover and references abound, it has comedy and even a small hint of perversion here and there, it’s beautiful, it’s wonderful, and if you were to have someone ask me what would be the best of the best in our fandom and what would represent it the most? It wouldn’t be Ask Molestia, it wouldn’t be Hot Blooded Pinkie Pie, it wouldn’t be sites like Equestria Daily or FimFiction. I would say that everything you could ever hope to appreciate and learn about our fandom can be found right her in this blog and in this artist’s work.”

“If you aren’t following this blog yet you’ve been missing out. As for the rest of you, there’s something we can all appreciate and take away from this blog!”

“As for me? Well, I’m going to sit back and enjoy the best thing that Doctor and Derpy have given to the Universe…”

“What can I say? I’m a romantic.”
