For some reason, I picture you scrambling along on the treadmill in your usual get-up. Full on bow tie and vest. I realise that this is (probably?) entirely incorrect, but it still makes me giggle
I really want to redo it though. I need to make his head a thousand times bigger to fit the MLP:FiM proportions >.<
I blame drawing normal horses too often.
A bit. When I was back home for Christmas people said I’d picked up a bit of a Trans-Atlantic ‘twang’, but interestingly it was only the people who knew I’d been in Canada for a year; other people didn’t notice any change at all. My immediate family said it was only evident when I used bits of slang I’d picked up, like saying 'gonna’ instead of 'going to’.
Really though I shouldn’t mind at all; moving to study in Canada has been one of the greatest decisions I’ve ever made and I owe this country nothing but gratitude. I never thought I’d care much either, but I suppose it’s the comedy value. You see, being so stupidly English has become something of a running joke with me, even back home; I kind of like being able to make people smile because of it.
Not at all! He shares a lot of the same characteristics as him, especially in the guise of Berty from Mary Poppins; if you keep reading you’ll see a lot of references to movies, that one being absolutely no exception. RGB is a blend of a lot of different people, as well as being very obviously his own person, so you’ll doubtless pick up traits from other characters all over the place (which is in itself a part of the story). The only key difference to note between him and Berty, asides from the obvious tv for a head disembodied-jackass situation, is that RGB has what is refereed to as a Received Pronunciation accent. The type of toffy-nosed BBC accent you’d hear from tv announcers in the 60’s.
Not that I don’t love Berty’s… ‘cockney’ accent. It is a unique experience.
The story is journey, so they’ll be constantly changing locations, which will be half explained as we goes along- but as I never state beyond a pair of landscapes where the city at the beginning is I may as well tell you we are currently in Manchester.
