Description:

With this album on my mind a lot recently, I decided that it would be fun to make a tribute to it. But along the way, I got the idea of not only drawing this piece to resemble the song, but also make a series of art pieces, each one inspired by a song on the album. This album is titled: CUTIEMARKS (And the Things That Bind Us) by Vylet Pony: https://vyletpony.bandcamp.com/album/cutiemarks-and-the-things-that-bind-us


For the first piece, I obviously had to start with the first song on the album (not counting the track before this, which is basically just an an intro track for the album). Vylet Pony had stated on the Youtube upload for this song that it's built on the idea of giving Scootaloo the voice and power that she didn't really have in the early parts of the show, being told that she should just stick to what she's already good at and stick to her 'one true talent'. I recommend having a look at the description of that Youtube upload to learn more, as it explains it better than I can: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04Q86GrQMmo


But I got so invested with this piece, that I decided to go all out with it. I was originally just gonna stick with the main CMC, Scootaloo, Applebloom, and Sweetie Belle. However I decided to expand it to Babs Seed and Diamond Tiara. I created a sort of AU scenario in my head where these character are fed up with the narrow path that Cutie Marks where leading them down, and began to go through a rebellious phase. With this, they come together expression their frustrations and fears Cutie Marks and the idea of a 'one true talent' that they'd be forced to stick with their entire life. In attempt to push against these expectations, they form a rock band to vent and express their frustrations with others and hopefully find others who are facing these same frustrations.


I should probably admit that I don't agree with everything that this song expresses in regards to it's relation to MLP, as it's a rather cynical view of cutie marks. Rather I love the idea of rebellion, and rejection of a status quo that this song expresses, and being able to express your true self and feeling regardless of what the world says.


And this is only the start, so expect more in the future with more art inspired by the album.
