These fillies are quite hungry after a full morning of classes. Their food had better arrive soon! Though Sweetie appears to be in for a rude awakening very shortly at the rate that bench is going.
Here's a little something for a friend. It's a "sequel" to a little something done by
Calorie a few months ago. Would totes recommend checking it out if you haven't: https://derpiboo.ru/784582?scope=sc.....4d5328791ab080
So enjoy some fat filly almost bench breaking goodness! :D

Hah! Caught the nod to Cal's work as soon as I saw it. It brightened up my morning a smidge seeing this in my submissions box, so nice work.
Still waiting on the third part of that Scootaloo comic though, man. Waiting sucks.
So, solid image, but I'm going to go off on a constructive note for a minute here.
Scootaloo's head looks really off to me, and not in an overly distracting way, but it still stands that the more I look at it, the weirder it ends up seeming to me. I think it's the perspective. While her body is drawn at sort of a three-quarter view, her head is a perfect, 2-dimensional side view. That can be justified by saying she has her head turned, but the notion that you could have taken a back-view approach to her head is something to keep in mind.
That's not really the issue at hand, though, so I'll do an ametur exploration of what I think might be wrong with it. I think it's probably the eye position. I almost think it's too low, but I think the real problem is that it's set slightly too far to the left, leaving way too much space between itself and the nose and "forehead", if that's what you call the front of a pony's face. I'm not really sure, but playing with the eye's position may help out a bit. Just an idea, and perhaps try to compare it to your eye placement on Apple Bloom. The differences are subtle, but present.
Note that you did mostly the same thing on Sweetie Belle, and yet I think you managed to get it right. Maybe it's the closed eye. Her left flank pressing up against Scoot's looks kind of weird, but that's all I'll say. I'm hardly artistic and there's no way I have any good advice on how to improve it aside from maybe just toying around. I think it looks rather disproportionate, though, like it's bigger than the right flank. So perhaps you could bump her right flank up a notch in size?
Another thing to consider with your pictures in general is the angle of the noses. It's mostly a stylistic choice, as far as I'm aware, but I notice you tend to draw ponies' noses sloped slightly downward. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, mind you, I kind of like how you do it that way, even. But note how you do them in this picture: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/15393912/ - They curve up a bit as they go off the head, and it looks truer to the show and to the way most people draw ponies. That's not a criticism, just an observation/discussion. Drawing them sloped down is kinda cute too, I think. So keep in mind that in mind. Two ways to draw noses.
Although some of Sweetie's folds appear to be mildly defiant of gravity, I think you've done an extremely good job at drawing them in such a fold-filled style, Scootaloo's body especially. It looks really good.
So, just some thinking out loud, really. Some of this might be more quirks in my own perception of it, so I don't know. I hope none of this is misleading. I know next to nothing about art and couldn't do nearly this well, so take the whole thing with a grain of salt, or a pinch, or perhaps even the whole damn shaker. Salt to taste, yeah. But hopefully you'll find this at least slightly helpful or interesting. Again, great picture. I know it's really Calorie's thing, but I'd almost like to see you attempt a sequel.
Keep it up.

Any time. It's kind of fun critiquing stuff like that - gives you a bit of insight into a casual viewer's perspective, if noting else.
No good scenarios at the moment. Perhaps some reflection on actual events from the CMC's episodes in the show would help to generate some ideas. When I find the time, I'll think about it a bit and maybe pitch some ideas your way, take them or leave them.
