My Little Pony XXXV: The Thread Everypony Should Know

[fizmat]

Why would you need an excuse to draw ponies?

Because I'm very lazy. Also, when I think of things to draw, I usually choose something way beyond what I actually can even attempt and then get disappointed when I've wasted a lot of time and produced nothing close to what I wanted. With the ED ATG I hope to receive simple guidelines, get simple ideas, get them finished, get better at drawing and feel good about it. That's the plan, at least.

I wonder when the submission site goes up, I have my day 1 result ready:

1) We HAVE to set up a way to meet at the con. You all know I was going to be there and not meeting each of you is a shame on my part.

2) Which of these do you think would be more appealing to MLP fans?

A standard board game
A card based board game like the OotS game
A standard card game like poker or Uno
A trading card game

I have all four designed but only have time develop one.

I'm going to vote for trading card game because I luvs me some of those. Bonus points if your game is something that only takes 5-10 minutes to play, then people can play them at cons while waiting for panels and whatnot. Super bonus points if it's designed in such a way that it can be played from your seats.

Also, right! We met! Briefly! We really do need to find time for a group hang-out or something next time.

My little Tyranid, My little Tyranid,
AhhAhhhAhhAhhh~
My little Tyranid!
I used to wonder what eating could be!
My little Tyranid!
Why dont you come an share the feasting with me?
Big Carnifexes
Tons of Gaunts!
We all play a part
In numbers Strong!
Tearing, Rending,
It's an easy feast!
And Rippers make it all complete!
Yeahh my little Tyranid,
You know you are my very first meeeeeaaal~


i have nothing else to contribute. My status as an actual brony and not just some guy who watches the show to be cool comes into question.

Huzzah! I was trying to figure out how to do the intro song, but fail at such things. Was hoping someone around here would do it.

you should totally send those in to eqd for a ?custom pony compilation?
and include the song of course 8)

forgot about her...but i dont think she has ever been in any of the animated shows...and i seem to think squirrel boy was from a cartoon

but she would work

Squirrel Girl appeared, along with fellow Great Lakes Avenger Flatman, on episode 18 of Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Heroes, very briefly, when they were holding open auditions for a replacement for The Thing (he had been cured). I can't seem to find the clip on YouTube anymore unfortunately, but the entire series is available on NetFlix Streaming right now.

Also, I totally would have called out the whole "Arthur is not a bunny!" thing if I had seen it sooner.

The TCG I designed is fast due to its many win conditions. Currently 4.

I should have asked Nanashi or Rocket for the mid and called you all to the front. Hindsight sucks.

[Athaniar]

A Pony TCG does sound like fun.

Rated PG13.

So, so tempted to draw this now.

I've had my tablet for all of 5 days. Learning to draw all over again is hard.

[Soras Teva Gee]

I don't know how many ponies here might have participated in the herd census but they have apparently released their results. Link.

Out of 9015 respondents Twilight Sparkle was the favorite pony, followed by Fluttershy then a big drop to Pinkie, Dashie, Rarity, (Other), Luna, and AJ as a the least popular Mane Six. And Derpy was right after AJ.

[Athaniar]

So the average brony is a 21-29 year old unmarried American male with some college education who was introduced to the franchise with FiM, collects toys (and maybe clothing), is public with his bronydom, has influenced friends to become bronies, and has Twilight Sparkle as his favorite pony. Good to know.

And the complete opposite is a 60+ widow from New Zealand with a doctoral degree who has not publically admitted being a brony (but has turned her grandchildren into fans), started watching with G2, buys the DVDs, and has Braeburn as her favorite pony. We need those as well!

[Kyouhen]

Be sure to submit my song too! I have absolutely no idea what this thing is or how to do it!

Note: When it says "I" it really means "you". I just couldn't think of a good "You're brilliant" picture, so you get a Pinkie Pie Puddinghead instead.

[Noctemwolf]

thought I might share this here. This is a drawing I recently finished.

There was a census?
I need to pay more attention to this stuff....
Still, interesting statistics, to say the least.

So I was playing the Nod campaign of Command and Conquer 3 today. (I beat GDI yesterday.) I was on about the third mission-the one where you capture the white house. This level gives you no construction yard, and the fanciest units you get are Shadows.

I decided to capture and sell the enemy buildings rather than blow them up-capturing is kinda my thing. Imagine my joy when the war factory is allowed to build a GDI MCV!
So I do, and I deploy it.

...the GDI tech tree is utterly unlocked.
All of it.

So, obviously, I have only one choice.
I build an Ion Cannon and I shoot the white house with GDI's own space laser.

Doesn't quite scan. Pony is two syllables, Tyranid is three. I'd suggest swarm. 'My little swaaarm!' is easier to stretch to two than tyranid condenses to two.

That's pretty much me, with the sole exceptions that I'm not American and haven't really converted anyone. And I'm only within that age group for one more year. Oh and I still haven't got any pony clothes I really, really want some, but I seriously can't afford welovefine's prices, +100% in shipping is outrageous.

Also only have a few toys, they apparently only sold pony toys for a brief time around here, then it kinda vanished with the exception of a rather curious sea pony set that I've been tempted to buy.

[Pokonic]

Why does she have toes?

.....She is actualy the child of a griffon and a pegusi. Hence, no registered family members. Everyone, meet the only known hypogriff in Equestria!

I'm actually thinking of reconstructing a Sliver deck then modifying the art on all of them into ponies. This will include Sliver Overlord, which will be Princess Celestia.

Don't have toys? Make some! Clay is dirt cheap and super fun!

Mhm. xD

Probably cause you have to capture war factory, build MCV, deploy MCV, build tech centre, build ion cannon, wait six minutes while nothing on the map is left to do, and then fire it on your own buildings to end. xD Worth it for style points though.

Related on capture nod kill: Final GDI mission? I blew the Scrin base up with Venoms after attacking with annihilator tripods.

Slivers are an adorable swarm from magic: the gathering.

Doesn't work like that. xD

Slivers are a race from MTG. Their big thing is that each type of Sliver has an ability that is granted to all other Slivers near them, and are part of a hivemind swarm thing. Think Tyranid except they're capable of evolving significantly faster simply by creating a single new type of Sliver and having it join the rest of the army.

[Beacon of Chaos]

Ace work, Diego! You even got the silly little hat right. Thank you so very much! Immediately saved.

I'm glad you like it! ^^ I read through the early parts again to make sure I got it right. When I get the chance I'll read the rest. Also may colour that pic at some point.


So, I've decided to take part in the EqD training thing. Here's my submission for day one, a pony in armour:

This means that by combining slivers (which grant their powers to those around), tyranids (which get the powers of stuff they eat) and zerg (which direct their mutation on a spontaneous level to best fit the circumstances, I can start out with ten gaunts, have one mutate into a carnifex, one into a gargoyle, and one into a zoanthrope, and suddenly I have ten flying psychic tank-nids.

Sure it does!

Record it then tell me?
