The Thread About Ponies, Logistics and General Weirdness (And Gilda)TV

[CoffeeGrunt]

Fy isn't me, I repeat. The thing is, your Ponysone looks similar to your OC. And I wasn't the one who said that =)

Exactly, be careful. Strange people accuse of these things. D:

Talking to my fans in GDocs chat is strangely uplifting. Why? Because I actually have fans now, squeeeee!

 

[unit-one]

We are all your fans =)

I'm not that strange.... where was I going with this?

Someone had to make the connection.

I just remembered I actually made myself an OC. He's a Hairycorn. He's got wings, and TWO horns. One's for magic, the other is for roasting marshmallows.

Are you serious?


...Sometimes I worry about you.

Remade:

I was looking forward to this, now I can see the only problem with it, which is the outline, allow me to elaborate:

When you create the image on a computer(vector) you make a pretty good job at the time of re-drawing it, as you just demonstrated it looks a like a pretty clean vector. But as I have noticed, this drawing contains heavy usage of black and dark colours, when this sort of colour range is used, the best option to contrast the different elements is to use a subtle outline to differentiate the different elements, in this case the best option is to use a different colour outline(Which can be a Gray-ish outline instead of a black one for the ponies), this same technique can also be used to contrast different elements in the background such as the mountains and the grass(in the case of the last two, a thinner outline can be used to give some contrast to the background objects like the mountains and the skyline).

Apart from that, its a pretty nice job, specially with the lighting effects which look pretty clean, the vector itself and the outline width seems pretty correct and looks really cool overall, specially with the renewed sky which really gives it a sort of "spirit" to it, I don't know how to described correctly on English but integrates the elements quite nicely.

Fixed.
That's a pretty good reason for 2 horns.

There was this "Holy crap Coffee's British, I thought his spelling was weird" moment.

Now we're discussing Reggae sauce and counties. Oh the fun of GDocs.

We are all your fans =)

Yay!

Remember one thing - I don't have a ...that pad thing with a stylus. Everything on the background and shadows on the characters are made using a mouse.

I know ...that pad thing gives much more freedom, so that's my number one wish for Christmas =)


Thank you for your critiques guys. I will listen to them all!

Yay!

W00t!

Just got back. I'm tired. My arm hurts. But I won the Street Fighter IV tournament.




Now to go read The Empty Room. Then Mommy Nearest. Then all that other crap that has piled up. And eventually I'll comb through this thread and make a mega-post.









How does Molestia use her horn levitate her horn when she... takes off her horn?

I know that, and I also know that outlining a pony is quite complicated, but is more about the colour than the line, just remember that.



Moving on, is quite easy to move about for US bronies, I had to deal with some stupid chocolate milk storm and public transport is just awful, I've been thinking in a bike but meh and I think I could feel a lot from it, and I don't like bikes.

Wish I have a car, in the US is just a matter of being 17 and have 2000 USD to buy a used Nissan, besides the stores and pretty much everything is designed to be drive-by so actually far easier to use it.[/rant]


Anyway pics:


Crikey:

No pony was wounded by any stingray or anything.


Also, some Ask tumblr alicorn just...nevermind.


(*Goes back to FM4 testing, surprise surprise I was right, is still rubbish, but it looks nice*)

Then all that other crap that has piled up

*Fic is among pile of crap.*

Magic, duh.

And Akira, where do you live? I know it's not the states. So where?

 

[Akira AC]

And Akira, where do you live? I know it's not the states. So where?

Give it a guess.

 

[Brando-K]

Give it a guess.

Somewhere in Asia? But not Japan. (Because you complained about the public transport, Japans is pretty good.)
Philippines maybe.

Or somewhere in Europe judging by your wake up time.

 

[Racedude]

^*Fillypines.

 

[Akira AC]

Nope, but I did lived in Japan for a couple of months and is not perfect, the demand for some subway lines (for example the Meguro line) is quite high for the supply, and there is no public buses that takes you to the places nearby.

Also, is not Asia.



Apart from that:

Drawfriends #14

Derpy is enjoying herself.



And is 18:21 according to my computer's clock.

 

[Brando-K]

What's the time where you are?

@Racedude,feel free to use that one.

You take it, I'm from Mexicolt.

 

[Brando-K]

Canada, Mexico, Alaska? I've got no clue. :defeated:

Edit: Panama? Cuba? Costa Rica? The Bahamas? Jamaica?

Whatever. Fluttershy wins.

Was planning a big post, well compared to normal phone posts, but my battery has gone from 15% to 5% in 10 minutes.



Piece of 🤬. Should've gone with the HTC for the 4G instead of this damn gamepad on the power hungry Sony Erricson. I paid $100 more for no 4G and a crappy gamepad. Worst decision ever.

2 hours later. I mean exactly 2 hours later it dies.

So:
5:06pm: 15%
5:18pm: 5%
7:18pm: 0%

How.....? Dammit Sony and your crappy battery read out.

*Mumbles something about wishing he bought the HTC*


Anyway, that thing I wanted to post was that I went to a restaurant for dinner, and as I walked in a waited to be seated someone noticed my shirt and said "What does "Brony" mean?". So then I told him it's people who are fans of the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. He just stopped talking, turned around, and walked away. I just started laughing my ass off when he got out of earshot.


Anyway, I'm going to read a little bit of Mommy Nearest now.

 

[unit-one]

Nice story Mint!

It's time to end this discussion, Ace is Serb.

 

[Brando-K]

Thanks unit-one.

One thing I've never thought about until just now: Let's say that hypothetically, Dash is in danger. Gilda knows this to be that case. Gilda is obviously pretty dangerous, being what she is. Is it a safe enough assumption that Gilda would 🤬 🤬 up to protect her?

 

[Akira GT]

Akira i'm going to guess your Austrailian!

 

[Minty]

Oh, and I almost forgot, that picture is fantastic, unit:tup:

I love the clean lines.

Good night.

Wow, I don't remember, when was the last time I used this image...

It's possible. Could partially redeem her for making Fluttershy cry.

I don't think Gilda's completely heartless. Just in with the wrong crowd, has a bad reputation to uphold, looser with the morals and doesn't see why she has to play it straight. Probably some self-esteem issues, too, perhaps tough because she thinks she has to be, that showing emotion is a sign of weakness. Might even be in a pretty tight spot financially. On the other hand, if an old friend like Dash is really in trouble, I don't see why she wouldn't rush to her side.

Especially if Dash showed up in her neighborhood on the wrong side of town.
