So the kirin chose to ally with humanity instead of Equestria. Sure Equestria’s deal of economic interdependence, the magic of friendship, and protection from threats with the Elements of Harmony was promising, but humans made a better deal :P
Don’t you feel like that even your art is good you still wish you draw just as good as another artist?
I get that feeling every now and then. But I just focus on my own progress, and look to what I can do to improve myself such as studies, tutorials, or even analyzing other artist’s works to see what makes their pieces stand out.
