Now that we have some fan art of the mascots to compile up, I figured it would be a good idea to have them on the side bar somewhere. Introducing the mascot section! New Spotlight Splash and Rocket Tier art will be added here as it comes in.
Thanks to all the artists for drawing these two so far! We recently recruited Allyster Black and Pinipy to help do a bit more on the banner and button front for us, so go welcome them to this madness!
Now go get them all below, as well as the info pages for each.

When it comes to diving deep into the ponynet seeking the cartoon equine news you have all come to know us for, Spotlight Splash is your girl! She strives to keep her news unbiased and accurate, while having a good time doing it. This is a pony site after all, and without some fun, what's the point?
Another side of EQD sometimes drives her a little nuts though with taking "fun" a bit too far. Her little brother can get overly excited with the posting of everything, requiring her to step in and put her hoof down before things erupt in flames... again.
When she's not buried under piles of news reports and potential leads, Spotty likes to curl up with her comfiest socks for a deep and puzzle filled detective novel. Sometimes this scenario plays out while on a zeppelin to another country, indulging in her other love of traveling to exotic locales.

In the wonderful world of "categories that are not in the the news tab", Rocket Tier reigns SUPREME! If there is a video, piece of epic art, song, or general fandom madness, he's the one to scoop it up. Luckily his sister is here to keep him in check, or EQD would look like our 3AM shenanigans every hour of every day.
Outside of the world of bloggy things, Rocket does everything and anything he can involving space. From video games, to movies and books, if it involves planets and solar systems, he's there. Much to Spotlight's dismay, he sometimes sneaks out at midnight when the moon is full, dons a rocket helmet, and flies as fast as possible straight up imagining breaking free of the atmosphere to visit Luna's old domain. Maybe some day he will find his way into the Equestrian Space program?
