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

Is it wrong that I associate that with shipping, just saying.



Speaking of:

That increasing feeling that it might become canon at some point and there is nothing to stop it, makes me feel hopeless.


And Finally some related art to the new year:

Happy new 4709!!!

So is JJ just doing cute Celly and Luna or will there be more of these drawings featuring other characters?

 

[Minty]

You can tell we've been screwed up when a dirty joke is looked down upon not because of what it is, but because it isn't drawn completely on model.

Just because it's dirty doesn't mean it can be wrong.




But really, when I said that I was commenting more on the original without the text than the actual joke.

 

[unit-one]

Guys, what do you think about "Rainbow Factory"?

Is it worth the read?

 

[Wiegert]

Well, that's the Alicorns covered.

Can't say that I have read it. All I know is that it's GrimDark as 🤬, apparently.

From what I've seen in videos and from comments, it's really, really :censored:ed up.

Can't say whether it's worth the read or not, for you, since I haven't actually read it, but from what I know, it's the kind of Grimdark that I like to avoid as much as possible.

 

[unit-one]

Thanks for the warning, guys. I'll stay away from it.

 

[Downhill Dino]

No, because I was thinking the same thing.

 

[Jim Prower]

*ugh*

Spent an hour waiting - waiting! - at the nissan dealer for the guys there to tell me that they didn't have the key for my wheel locks which I didn't have a key for, so they had to chisel them off, then drive 45 minutes (after having driven 30 minutes) home to spend an hour in the neighbor's garage getting my new snow tires on.

*thunk*

Halp me, ponies. put a smile on my face.

 

[Wiegert]

Funny, I was just wondering when we would see more Spitfire REA. Still, the top part of her front leg is far too narrow, as it was in the previous drawing, and is her back leg supposed to bend like that?

 

[Downhill Dino]

It's a mutant!

 

[Minty]

That's not the same artist that did those first 3, right?

Because those were great, but these last 2 were just.....weird looking.


EDIT: So I got the numbers wrong, but it's not the same artist as the first 2(brianblackberry), I just wanted to make sure.

 

[Tornado]

Yes, I'm aware I already used that gag.

​

5 hours. Tried some new things, and added some stuff that the original piece was lacking (eyelashes). I think it came out alright, but the hair is bothering the hell out of me.

 

[Wiegert]

The shading appears to be darker than it is on any of my coloured drawings, the eyes look alright, the coat and hat look good too.

It's just that the mane colour looks a bit, well, not quite right. More specifically, the dark sections are a little too saturated, plus it has a very slight greenish tinge to it. Perhaps you could reduce the colour intensity just a bit in those darker parts of the mane.

Its the only fanfic I read, and it was pretty tame by internet standards. It was well-written, the characters had decent arcs. If you don't mind some explicit descriptions of violence or injury (if that doesn't bother you too much) its a well thought out story.

TL;DR it had gore but I thought it was good.

 

[Tornado]

?



I'm trying to shade her hair with a different color than everything else (and I could probably break up her hat, too, but I don't see much benefit to doing it) so I can have more gold-ish highlights rather than black ones, but I'm having a trouble getting the balance right.

I think you'll find that, while many of us were originally perfectly capable of jumping headfirst into even the darkest stories, over the months everyone in this thread has turned into complete babies regarding stuff like that.

Not too horrible, but I'd say it's "Not nice"


Anyways, even with the all stalking I make, it feels odd to stop posting. I feel like I don't know what this is about. So I'll try to post more often from now on.

Hmm, it does look better now after that small alteration. I'm not not sure what else need to be changed really.

I remember reading "Cupcakes" back in April or May last year, and the graphic nature of it didn't really affect me to be honest. Now though, I just don't like anything with gratuitous amounts of gore (then again, I never really did, but I don't jump into particulaly bloody stories in the same way I would have 8 months ago). I do still like quite a few Dark and GrimDark fics though.

WARNING:
EqD spoiler alert of next episode popped up a while ago. Don't watch the clip if you don't want to know. But it is funny. Now I just have to wait and see why that happened.

Why does the animator look vaguely like Ned Flanders? Stupid Flanders.

 

[Minty]

I think it looks great.

Yeah, pretty much this.

Snagged a collage program to make this.

80 plushies! Thats as many as eight tens of ponies.

<3

 

[Minty]

....that's a lot of plushies. Especially given the size of some of them, and quality of all of them:tup:


Oh, and I now have a desktop that isn't pony. This feels strange but I'll stick with it for a while.

Is nice to see you posting again, I mean its been a while and I was wondering if you were still posting, or in the pony thing.

That's amazing, seriously that shows some hard work put into your plushies, and I cant imagine the pain on your fingers.

?

Outlining and AJ's hair is actually clearer, way clearer. Other than that it looks quite nice.



Also Woona time!

I was first annoyed by the sea ponies thing, but now it sort of makes sense(although I like the first pages a bit more).

Anyone else watching this live stream that was just posted on ED?

Well, listening to it, anyway. Not enough going on for me to actually sit there watching the video.


EDIT:

I am now, but it won't be for much longer. They just seem to be trying to choose a game, and it's taking forever.

MicTheMIcrophone saying random crap




Anyway:

This.... this was a bitch to colour. The mane alone took roughly 6 hours. I really didn't think the mane would look any good and that I had wasted a heap of time on it, but I don't think it's too bad really.

I have a semi-permanent hole in the top of my middle finger, on my right hand. The callouses there have given up on trying to stop sewing needles.

The randomness is what I love about it.


I never thought watching a group of people chose a game could be so entertaining.

I had no idea you were working on coloring that. Looks great.




Also, I have to work tomorrow, so night.

Ok for one it looks amazing, there is a pretty damn good use of the textures, it looks pretty real and that makes it fell into the uncanny valley.

Theoretically is really good because it shows pretty nice usage of the shadows and lighting effects, but this is archived so well that it makes it feel too realistic and therefore scary.

Other than that is a pretty damn good job.



Anyway some alternative shipping:

And I dont think I'll make it to the stream, I have more stuff to do and is already midnight(I shouldn't even be posting ponies).


Goodnight everyone.

Mic singing Berry Punch's drunk telegram was truly great

I had no idea you were working on coloring that. Looks great.

It came out way better than I expected, plus I wasn't even intending to finish it because I honestly thought it would look crap. I'm still not entirely happy with a few small parts around the mane though, but I don't feel like making any changes right now.

I know what you mean. It's just that I've always had a thing for these hyper-realistic drawings, and I just wanted to see how something as realistic as that NMM pic would look if I added some colour to it. What I did learn is that stuff like that is, at times, a bloody pain in the flank to colour.

And thanks guys.
