Do what I've been doing, pick a/several picture(s) and print them out. In this case I think this would make a good sticker http://i.imgur.com/BLHA3.jpg.
Then use some double-sided tape and cut it out. BAM! Pony (or anything else for that matter) sticker with only a minute of work. In fact I may just make some dj-pon3 stickers now.
Err... What do I think the creature behind the face looks like?
SpoilerA giant stone fat man. I'M SORRY I'M SORRY
Twilight: Spring, because she has good memories of it.
Pinkie: Spring, because that's when people are ready for a party.
Rarity: I don't think she has one...
Rainbow Dash: Fall, it's probably pretty easy to fly during the fall.
Applejack: Erm, Winter, I think. She doesn't need to do work.
Fluttershy: Spring. She gets to see her animal friends again.
Tectonic Robot requesting the element of Noir
Because I love the midnight crew.
Holy Crap! Navy is an awesome color!

Absolutely nothing!

Clockwork RP
SpoilerThe guardsman blinked in confusion at the replies, at a loss of how to deal with such a complicated situation on his first assignment away from the capitol.
"I, er ... I'm not sure why she might think it funny, but my orders come from Her Royal Highness, the Light of Dawn, Princess Celestia herself!" He exclaimed, swelling with pride as did so.
Reaching into his saddlebags, he pulled out the piece of parchment containing his instructions and held it up for the two travellers to read. In barely legigible hoofwriting, it stated;
"Igneous, you moron.
Get the hay out of our barracks and go bother somepony else. In fact, why don't you go latch on to thefurstfirst poor pony you see and leave us in peace for a while. Just go guard them for a bit instead of the mess hall okay? That way we might be able to have our lunch on time for once.
Sined
Cerulean Skies
HRH Princess Celestia"
"So as you can see" he continued, stuffing the parchment back into his saddlebags before either had a chance to respond. "my orders are quite explicit. And as you are the first people I've encountered on this road today, I am therefore at your command. Sir, Milady"
His excitement was plain on his face as he already began imagining the adventures he was going to have.
"So, where might we be headed today?"
I second fridge-raiding Derpy. Plus third wheel derpy is also adorable.
Zecora and Applebloom... Actually, interesting. Would be an unorthodox friendship. Especially since Applebloom is still a kid and all. makes sense too, since Applebloom was helping to make the cure for those blue plant things.
And the last picture? The Apple Family sad over Steve Jobs' death? Perfect...
Except for the Steve jobs is dead part, of course. :smallfrown:
Okay, how about now...
(This is dead useful, by the way folks - daft as this may seem!)
On the other hoof, poking ponies in their cutie marks to see if they say anything funny sounds like a good hobby.
Hrm... *grins evily and starts eyeing the other ponies present*
It was definitely a lot of fun to read, I'm looking forward to more Midnight-related stuff. I know there's a ton of Midnight RP here but 26 ponythreads of 50 pages each is a daunting thing to face. The RP I have found is really good.
And, because I can't resist: (and I know more about Midnight's character now...)
Pinkestia: Pinkestria trots over to Midnight. "Hi! I'm a princess! Are you a princess too?" (lol I am in so much trouble)
Ohno what have I done, now that's just going to encourage me. :smallbiggrin:
And no worries, it does get busy. I probably will be in the same boat in a week.
Yes, yes she is. :smallbiggrin:
Pwincess Woona is made entirely out of adorableness.
Derpy: "What an odd-looking muffin..." (sorry. :)
I live to serve. Myself, if I can help it, but that doesn't always work out.
I see her as more of a surrogate mother than a friend, which makes all the pornography I had to slog through to get to those cute little pictures even more disturbing.
I have a quick question for everyone. Where do you think the name "Pinkamena" from Pinkamena Diane Pie came from? Is it an obvious reference that I'm just not getting?
I think it was supposed to go with her background, growing up on an un-fun rock farm with Amish-analog ponies, it seems natural that she wouldn't be named "Pinkie Pie" right off the bat. Googling "Pinkamena" returns a few results unrelated to MLP so it could be the team either had that in mind from the beginning, or stumbled across it while figuring out things to do for that episode. Unless they came up with it on their own, which is also possible.
I don't know if it's a direct reference to anything. It's possible, but there's so many references due to MLP now that it's hard to find.
Philomena? Anyway, the joke is that she has a long name that only her parents would call her by, and I don't think it's deeper than that.
I wonder how many little kids have googled Pinkamena Diane Pie since that Tumblr went up.
OH GOD!!!http://i.imgur.com/VYSqq.jpg Those poor poor kids that fall into the real demographic of the show. They should not have to see that. What if they read/view the one about fluttershy!? Checking the pony emotes, is there not a "The horror, the horror" one?
The way that the two things come off of the "nose" (not sure it ifs actually a nose or not, thus the quote marks), it looks like it has either really pronounced cheekbones or a lot of extra weight. Eyes still look angry. The orange thing on the bottom looks more like a face cover than a mouth now, like some sort of speech or breathing mask. It is pointy, and to me looks a bit like an arrow. Just the way it is wider than it is tall makes me think of the word "chubby" when I look at it.
That's all I got, nothing specific this time.
*watches everyone else freak out*
Beeskee: I thought it was hilarious.
*watches everyone else freak out more*
:smallbiggrin:
Ask Blueblood is a good one, surprisingly enough. He does interaction with a lot of the other Ask Pony tumblrs and always keeps it funny.
I actually do love that blog, but think of the real demographic of the show, the one that is composed of preteen girls. Now imagine them looking through art of Pinkie Pie doing... well we all know what happens. Now imagine the hours of therapy these young girls now need.
It's by an artist who calls himself Crooked Trees, who also drew this:
Spoiler
He has another blog (named after a Venetian Snares album, appropriately enough) which is about forty percent pornographic digital paintings of ponies, forty percent starkly realistic digital paintings of ponies, and twenty percent starkly realistic pornographic digital paintings of ponies. It's actually very hard for me to tell if he's trying to parody that style or if he's genuinely in love with it and he just happens to really like drawing technicolor ponies. Either way, he's a fantastic artist.
Hehehe!
While it doesn't surprise me that there is AB/Zecora stuff out there... is there really that much of it? :smalleek:
Looks vaguely rat-like.
Anyway, pics.
Saucy Twilight ahoy! Drawn and coloured by a couple of friends of mine from Canterlot.
Badass Spike:
The Pinkamina Diane Pie blog makes me sad when I read it.
My emotions are pliable, I suppose.
And that Spike is awesome.
Someone should make an Octavia PMV to this.
I can't really improve on Titanium Fox's reply, except to note that Twilight probably enjoys long winter days curled up to a cozy fireplace with some good books, and Pinkie Pie undoubtedly enjoys all of winter's awesome holidays with attendant parties.
True, but then again that demographic really shouldn't be browsing strange sites on the internet unsupervised, in my opinion. I know parents can't watch their kids 24/7, but the internet cannot ever be 'made safe' - at least with TV you know the Hub channel or Disney channel is not going to suddenly start showing porn or something. Sort of like the Hub website and Disney website will always be safe for kids. Anything randomly found on Google is questionable.
Since the first thing people visiting that tumblr see is a blood-stained, disturbing-looking version of Pinkie, hopefully they possess enough common sense to go somewhere else if that isn't what they wanted. That's the first thing a parent needs to teach their child before letting them browse unsupervised. I still think it's a terrible idea for a young child to have that kind of access, but if they do, then they need to know what to avoid.
Got the eyes much better this time, then, that effect is working exactly as intended, at least!
Not much I can do about the "chubbyness", unfortunately; I'm already pushing the material limitations. That, with whatever else, I'm just going to have to live with... (Believe it or not, it's actually square in cross-section.)
Okay, well, anyway, I think I have about reached the limitations of what I can think of to try on you blind, so now I'll do some explaining and see if the arty among you can make some suggestions. (I might even take this to the arts & crafts thread eventually).
The orange bit at the bottom is a "mouth" of sorts (by this point, I was aiming for a fish-jaw, a sort of foward gape. Whether it actually opens or not, I'm not yet sure...) You were pretty close with "angry shark" which was roughly the sort of thing I was going for; a sort of predatory head, as sleek as the design limitations would let me go (it's only 1mm wide and tall...)
What it belongs to (nominally) is this:
Spoiler

Which converts to this, for moving around:
http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u...ecretproj2.png
The engine below lifts it off, the head and turret lock 90º up, and the legs invert and lock to flight positions.
(This is a work in progress, and is going to be detailed a bit more in due course. Mostly, this was a first pass to see if I could do this, given the material limitations, and to fit the leg joints and such. I nominally plan to mayeb revise it to have something more like "feet", that would fold into weapons in flight mode.)
The whole thing fits with 1cm cube at 144 scale, and within a 2cm one at 72nd scale (i.e roughly D&D figure size).
It is the first part of Secret Project - secret to all my wargaming companions, that us - which is for me do design an entire army that can be scaled to use at 12mm (1:144th scale) and also at 25mm(28mm) (1:72nd or D&D figure scale), which is why it's so horribly overdetailed for the size.
This is the smallest unit (about human-ish sized), the "infantry" so to speak, of it's race, who are an evil technological-lifeform crowd.
Now, usually alien robots races are all "male" (e.g. Daleks, Cybermen, old Cylons, the Cybertanks - even the Borg sound male - etc etc etc - the Movellians of Doctor Who are about the only exception). Anyway, this crowd, are for novety, supposed to be "female". So what I was really trying to aim for - and utterly failing! - was to try a model that in a non-cartoonish way. (I realise that I could just do anything and just say it's nominally female, but I wanted to see if I could be cleverer than that. Apparently not!)
So, armed with some context, does anybody have a clue how I could improve to try and make it more "feminine" - at least nominally in suggestion, given the rather steep size limitations?
(I know this is a sodding hard thing to try to do, but I want to at least give it a shot before admitting defeat!)
Hmmm, maybe I should make a list of Ask Ponies sites. If not for general usage, then at least for my own ^^"
