Description

Or, "Wait, what was my pull altitude supposed to be again?"

For Equestria Daily's Newbie Assist Training Ground III, day 16: a pony on the clock.

Greetings from Salado, Texas. I'm uploading this from my phone, having pulled it from my laptop, because I can't get the motel Wi-Fi to work.

Not entirely sure this would have fit the theme too well... While using a wrist-mounted altimeter could very easily work, and I do approve of such a thing, it's an oddball way of looking at it. Oddball ideas, of course, aren't necessarily bad if you know what you're doing; variety is the spice of life, after all. I'm actually kinda surprised to see you made it halfway through this challenge without posting any skydiving-related material--not counting 'Ascendant', of course.

Nevertheless, that expression on Patch's face definitely looks and feels like a silent 'oh crap' as he realizes how close he is to the ground. That's a hard thing to convey, I imagine, and you pulled it off quite well. I also notice you took that transparent altimeter background and transposed it onto his actual altimeter, just to be consistent; it's hard to spot on the average viewer's end of the scale, but it's there! (Also, what in the heck are you doing in Salado? I might already have the answer somewhere in the back of my mind, but it's been wrong before!)
