Pony Spotlight #31: Ask Dream Baker

“Well folks, it’s that time again! Did ya miss me!? You know you did! Boy, am I getting lazy these days right? Well, I’ve actually gotten a few messages from this person in the past recommending other blogs, and now they’ve asked for their own to be shown! So here’s Ask Dream Baker! (Why does that sound like it has something to do with drugs?)”

“Yes, as you could guess from above and from her name, she makes her living as a baker. Now, we may have seen plenty of bakers before, each one trying to complete with the Cakes, though it usually is a fruitless effort seeing as how the Cakes have their secret logic-breaking weapon known as Pinkie Pie, but thankfully Dream Baker doesn’t usually focus on that aspect, if at all.”

“Usually, when there is a story arc it’s actually relatively kept short, with the focus just on answering questions which actually fits pretty well balance wise, which in turn makes it a lot more interesting than just ‘Insert Random Cute Answer To Question Here’ or 'Drama All The Time Here’ blogs. In this way, this makes the blog a whole lot more enjoyable, and will actually make you interested when the story arcs actually do come up, even if they are kind of sappy sometimes.”

“What? Don’t get the reference? Then for shame upon all of you! For the rest of you, strike a pose in honor of Captain Ginyu! Ok, Internet References aside, let’s talk a bit about Dream Baker herself. As you can she, she’s a bit shaggy for pony, which she does try to keep shaved and in check sometimes to no avail. She’s a mare who gives thanks to Luna rather than Celestia, and seems to be quite a big fan of her. Hmm, I wonder what you would call them then….Lunites? Lunars? Lunists? Am I offending somebody yet? Oh well, bit’s over anyways.”

“And, yes, unfortunately for you stallions out there, she already has herself a Special-Some-Pony, so try not to get any big ideas.”

“Aww, aren’t they cute together? The eye-patch is a little bit gaudy though if you ask me, but then again I wear a top-hat, a cane, and a bow tie! Then again, I actually pull it off. BAZINGA!”

“You know, one of my favorite things about this blog is just the way the art has improved over time. If you want to see what I’m talking about, well here’s a little snap shot of the artwork from a year ago.”

“Quite the improvement isn’t it? Not bad for a year’s time am I right? I would say though that the artist could still use a little bit of work on her angles, as it can get a bit awkward at times.”

“See what I mean? That view would sort of only come about if you were looking from a top-down perspective (aka, looking on her face from above), not from a frontward perspective, so there’s still some work to be done there but thankfully those little quirks don’t show up much if at all and it’s probably just my critic-minded focus that picks these things out.”

“However, on a side note by the way, I’d like to also point out that this blog at the same time probably has one of the best designs for Derpy/Ditzy that I have ever seen.”

“I really love the way she looks here. Maybe it’s the hair, maybe it’s the eyes, or maybe it’s just the fact they treat her and make her look like an actual mare instead of just relying on her to be the comedic point and actually try to make her look appealing, and even quite lovely.”

“Also, as some of you may have noticed, sometimes Dream Baker seems to have her horn and other times she seems not to have her horn. Well, actually she recently got into an accident ('Magical Clot’, sort of like Magical Build-Up for those of you who will get the reference), caused her horn to shatter, leaving her in the hospital without a horn, but maybe not all hope is lost for her magic though…”

“…Want to know what I mean? You’ll just have to read to find out! As for me, I have something extremely important to do!”

“The fun never ends!”


“Also, THIS is how the front perspective should look! Well, until next time! See you then! Spotlight Heart, out!”
