You Look Familiarby *Toxic-Mario

New records! Yeah I just broke several records with this comic. New time record (24 hours), new one livestream record (12 hours straight), new favorite comic EVER, and finally llongest time spent on a background (10 hours).

Anyway sup guys.....got a brand new comic for you all. A LOT of you said you wanted to see an Octavia comic and this was the perfect one to do. It's a joke off those who think that Octavia is Pinkie's sister. Ummmm....I think they'd tell us if they were so I still don't get why people are still saying she might me.

Still this was a LOT of fun to do. No bow on Octavia = more casual setting! Octavia and Pinkie came out great and this I believe is the longest comic since Moonlight Terror 2. Long comic FTW!

Overall I'm extremely please with the way this turned out. Easily my new favorite comic even though I literally went overboard trying to do the background for this one. It's that restaurant in ticket master. Detail much.

So yeah...I really don't have the energy right now to talk more. I did a marathon 12 hour livestream JUST to get this out. I'm paying for it...now if you'll excuse me...I need a nap. Comments are appreciated as usual?

Artwork is very good, save for two things which bothered me:

Background is too busy. It's hard to tell where the floor, table, and window all begin and end. Is that supposed to be a small garden between the table and window? It actually looks like the rug? shadow? under the table is layered atop the haystacks the ponies are sitting on. Simplify the background, or use more muted colors on the not-so-important parts, or use more easily identifiable props like woven rugs instead of formless organic props like hay. Try to avoid the edges of two props overlapping. The vase and edge of window planter ending at almost the same place makes it hard to identify the planter as a planter (and I noticed you couldn't decide between blue or red flowers).

The thing that makes Octavia are her eyes. They're not oval like most of the female ponies, they're almond-shaped, coming to points in the corners. It adds a touch of elegance and sultriness. Rarity's eyes are like this too, though not as much and not in all scenes.

What do you think?

I have a few complaints but I DO like this. First of all, the cutie marks look never changed. They always looked like the flank was upright and they were standing. Second, the cutie marks were on the upper leg while they were standing. I'm not sure if it was intentional or accidental but it sorta looked like it was moving between their flank and their upper leg. Also, there was kinda know way to see who was talking. This one's just a little thing but maybe a little peg or something just to see who's saying or thinking what. Other thank that I like how it turned out as a whole.

Also, as a small thing, its kinda hard to imagine pinkie saying "my apologies".
