Artist's Comments

Because :dontletthedoorhityou: isn't complete without the :beatdeadhorseplz:

EDIT: Added another frame to slow down the draw back of the stick a little. Also animated the tail and made the beating of the stick deeper on the horses belly. Removed one frame out to make the horse less rubbery in the gut. :lol: Tried making the horse bounce a little but it looked a tad weird with the bouncing emote guy.

EDIT 2

Mmmmkay.

Some people are getting generally confused as to what this means here and probably believe I'm supporting animal abuse or something...

Beating a dead horse is a phrase used when a certain topic has already been either resolved or discussed to the point of ad nauseam, and any further attempts to continue those topics is futile.

This is not advocating the beating of real horsies. :p

Talking about a dead subject while others move on you still talking about it ^^

At least that's what I think :)
