Hey, an easy way to skip the wall of tags is to click tags and it’ll say you can change them, making them all disappear so you can scroll to the comments easier.

googling that actually gets pretty close. Dug around and couldnt find the references, but i’ll add the mock ups to the 2020 Collab thread.
There were a number of designs the arch went through, but this one was based off a real world structure I saw. I didnt think much of it until I put a mock up next to the other designs. Almost unanimous approval from all involved in the project, so I ran with it.
Glad everyone is referring it to key holes and portals 😅

An actual crowd-count statistician weighed in once and used standard industry methods to estimate the population of Ponyville based on crowd scenes in Seasons 1 and 2; as I recall their estimate was around 3500-4000.

Given that it was Joey selecting and putting each of the ponies in place, by hand, you might be vastly overestimating the number of unintentional inclusions.
