[FO:E] Fallout Equestria OOC 2: Ante-Up My Little Ponies

[Lycan 01]

@Lycan: Hey, nice! I'm not much of an artist myself, but I'm decent at Photomanipulation and Color Work. In fact, if I have time and you don't mind, I might colorize those for you.

Assuming I don't die of an OCD attack because you switched between cursive and print.

Knock yourself out, though I may go back and do some touchups and colorization myself.

Also, I switched because Swiss and Down were originally in the same picture together, with Swiss laughing while Down looked on in annoyance. The switch in writing style was to help create better contrast between the two, and to reflect their personalities - freeflowing and chaotic cursive for Swiss, and mechanical, methodical print for Down.

Yeah, I like to add multiple meanings to small details. >.>

@Obliviom
It's fine, you really did more then I could have asked for. Hopefully someday i'll get one of my more artistically sound friends to draw Lamia's spike covered, blood splattered, rough and worn out Power Armour with all the bling. Hmmm, speaking of bling it's been a while since Lamia's done his lesser passion of vocal work. I'll have to correct that eventually......

[TheAmishPirate]

And now for something completely different!


Guess who's been learning to draw? This guy.

Who wants to see some character portraits?

Hot dang, these are really good! You definitely captured their personalities well in these drawings. I feel like Down could deadpan even the goofiest shenanigans into submission with that glare. And the font/handwriting choices were a nice touch too.

[BladeofObliviom]

Well, looks like Swift managed to fail a speech check. Really badly.

Makes me wonder how Fleet would respond to somepony actually trying to be intimidating.

Does the phrase "Fold like a house of cards" mean anything?

In all seriousness, mentioning "Hey, you should be dead right now!" to the easily spooked pegasus after she just confirmed the existence of his worst nightmares miiiiiiiight not have been the wisest choice of words.

Yeah, that might not have been the best idea.


On another subject, Rebo, when did Island figure out that Swift's a Zebra? I mean, her Glyph mark rotted off decades ago, and her flesh is basically brown by this point, meaning a dearth of identifiable stripes. It would be possible to notice a number of subtle clues, but most would just assume she's an earth pony.

[BladeofObliviom]

Oh, almost forgot. Colored in that sketch Lycan did for Lucky on the last page, for giggles. Kind of a quickie job, really, but it came out okay. I did manage to clean up most of the pencil smearing, though.

I used the character profile to guess at the colors I was supposed to use; Don't really know how well I did. They were just descriptions, not hex codes.

[Benson]

Tychris1, waiting on you, I think Finder's comment is directed to Ducard.


Also, waiting on you Purityicekiller with Bright Eyes.

[MCerberus]

And speaking of the whole recon thing in Bucklyn...

[Benson]

would the scav post have a form of showers?

[Luka]

Uh... He isn't nervous, he is just really pissed off, I think I mentioned it before

[MCerberus]

working running water, in the middle of Manehatten?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Benson]

well, if they had a water talisman


which I don't know

Looks pretty good! His fur and mane are both supposed to be a bit darker, but close enough! What program(s) and/or tool(s) did you use to make that?

[BladeofObliviom]

Photoshop and photoshop alone, in this case. Cut out the right parts with the lasso, made new layers in those exact shapes on top of them, and colored them in at 30-50% opacity. That way, I could get the color on without overriding the existing shading and features.

[Luka]

And speaking of the whole recon thing in Bucklyn...

Wait... AGH! sorry! completely forgot about it, been derping around with other games, I should change the username to "Derpling MCgee" so much more than I think Benson claimed he would call himself derpish!

Gotta post in a bit now =S

[PurityIcekiller]

I really hope Fleeting doesn't end up interacting with Fleetwing. That would only end in a lot of confusion.

[Lycan 01]

I'll wait for Finder and Elestre to have their initial reactions to the great city of Fillydelphia before the guards/slavers/snipers notice them.

It's likely a bit jarring for them to see an actual city. Not the bones of an ancient civilization picked cleaned by the ravages of time, but an actual thriving settlement built upon the remains of what once was and now is again.

Plus, y'know, the creepy Pinkie Pie balloons full of snipers...

[Luka]

So, I guess my character's the one with the odd reaction? I mean, instead of amase he's xtremely mad

[Lycan 01]

Remember my warning. If he doesn't keep that anger in check, it may bite him in the ass. And by bite him in the ass, I mean he may get Stern'd.

It's okay for him to be mad, but try not to let his anger become his defining characteristic, like the "ANGRY MARINE" 40K memes or something.

[Tychris1]

Careful with thy tongue knave, lest thou lose it in an inferno of rage.

Besides, Luka may have the anger of an Angry Marine, but he lacks the power armor/mini rocket launcher machine gun/chainsword to back up the anger.

[Luka]

Yeah, I was mostly saying he was angry, but for most of the way he would just walk while looking down, since there would be a lot he would want to fix but can't because the guys that keep it that way would be pretty strong or something....

....Ugh, freaking tension expecting what Red Eye's "deal" may be, most of the ones I thought he would offer (joining him, staying away from his town) wouldn't really work, it's like visitin Eden without the self-destruct code or science/speech at low level

Hello! I recently read through the Fallout: Equestria story and it's interested me quite a bit. So I was wondering where to start.

[BladeofObliviom]

Where to start? I dunno. There's a few characters in town about now, so it shouldn't be too hard to just slip a character in somewhere. If you want to be a bandit, slaver, or other bad pony, I'll take this obvious opportunity to advertise the newly-liberated Ponyville, now cleared of Raiders as Lamianos and co. set up their new wretched hive.

[Lycan 01]

Hello! I recently read through the Fallout: Equestria story and it's interested me quite a bit. So I was wondering where to start.

Hi there.

There's a Scavenger Post in Manehatten where a couple of characters are just sort of sitting around, New Appleloosa is always a good starting point with a handful of PCs hanging around, and Girdershade in the middle of nowhere is currently turning into an odd little meetup place for ghouls and hapless wasteland wanderers. There's also a little oasis town where a couple of ex-slavers are getting themselves in trouble.

What's your character concept? If we know what you're working with, we can probably give you a better place to start. :3

[Earl of Purple]

I'm currently thinking a Stable exile. Somepony kicked out rather than voluntarily leaving. But that's about it, so far.

Which Stable is most likely to kick a pony out? Probably a Unicorn.

Oh, there are a lot of Stables that'd kick somepony out. There are just as many that would lock everypony up for eternity. As a rule of thumb, you are totally allowed to make up new Stables if the number isn't already in use. Within reason, of course.

[Rebonack]

Hiya Earl!

An exile could certainly work. There are still a few Stables that are up and running. But first, do you know what caused your pony to get tossed out on his or her ears?

[Tychris1]

And if he was kicked out for more....... dark reasons then there's a tiny little place starting up that would gladly take in his unsavory nature with open arms.

[Earl of Purple]

Nope. Theft, I think. Nothing too serious like murder (as that would be more fleeing from justice than exile).

I think exiled from Stable 111; that's not on the list of known Stables so I could use my imagination for it. Unless somepony else has mentioned it?
