If icoukd figure out what to chat about with you while staying relavent, I'd gladly keep you comp'ny though
I've only gotten one part of my request. Still waiting on the G-Gundam ponies.

Looks like he's been out playing sports Eye color: Green (Suggested) Cutie mark: Baseball Pose: Action-ready Expressions: "Yo, dude! What's up?" Accessories or costumes: (All are optional, Listed in order of desirability. I don't expect all of them)
A spiked ball and chain (Either crimson or glowing white, but not both)
Jacket like in the above picture
Katana (sheathed)
Yo-yo (Pink with red border and axle, and a red 'C' on it)
Fancy that! A pinkish ball and chain. With spikes.
Edit: Er, did you mean a flail? The stick with the spiked thing at the end?

Ponyfied Homestar Runner

Type: Earth pony
Coat color: Red with white head and hind legs (nonexistent front legs)
Mane color and style: Something resembling Homestar's propeller cap
Eye color: Black "comma" eyes both visible
Cutie mark: A solid white 5-pointed star
Pose: Side view, with H*R style head profile. Standing on "all" fours, but "holding" a slice of pie, about to eat it, or a glass of piemonade with a straw about to take a sip
Expressions: the open mouth of the HRwiki main page
Accessories or costumes: if the propeller cap doesn't work as a mane, just stick a normal one on top of the head. Also, the large shoes would be nice, but I'm not sure how good that would look on a pony.
If anypony takes on this request, please PM me about it. Also PM if you need any clarification. If you don't understand the character I want, check out the HRwiki article on Homestar Runner. Thank you.
E: By the way, if you think it would look better in a different pose, let me know. We know from "Suited for Success" that the customer is not always right.
This is a great idea I hope no one's taken it.

Re: My Little Pony: Avatar is Magic (also Adopt-a-Pony)
Well, here I am, filing my second avatar request ever. I'm still happy with the avatar I have now, made by Vaynor, so don't make me a priority or anything but uh... yeah, thanks in advance to whoever takes my request. If I've done a poor job on explaining one of the aspects of the avatar, don't be afraid to bug me to elaborate some more on it (or make it up).
Gender: Other (just kidding, male) Type: Earth pony Coat color: Black or gray, something "dark", you know? Mane color and style: Imagine my current avatar with slightly longer hair and do your best to match that. Eye color: Uh... hazel? Is that okay? If not, either green or brown. Cutie mark: A violin and/or bow. Whatever is easier/shows up better. Pose: No preference. Expressions: Something nefarious-looking, if possible. Just go with my current avatar's expression if you have to. Accessories or costumes: No preference.

Sorry to point this out, but it's my major pet peeve.
A flail has a chain in it. If it's something big and spiky just on a stick, I think that's a mace.
The more you know?

I guess you could call it
an epic...
*glasses*
no, I can't. Puns that bad do not deserve to be spoken.

No no no, you're thinking of a Morgenstern (Morningstar). Mace is less big/spiky, usually

Um, nope:
Spoiler
At lest in my native literature, mace is second from the left (square-ish, less spikes, or fins instead of spikes), morgenstern is third (round, more spikes). Flail is indeed on a chain, and was adapted from grain flail, though most of the time it should have mace-like head and a short chain, like this:
Spoiler
"Flail" with long chain and round head is called differently than the above in most European languages I'm aware of.

Re: My Little Pony: Avatar is Magic (also Adopt-a-Pony)
A medieval weapon discussion in the ponytar thread?
Spoiler
That's what you guys are looking for, I guess.
It's called a 'strijdvlegel' in Dutch and wikipedia links it to the flail article.
But a flail isn't one thing, it's more like different weapons with the same name. The ball-on-a-chain version is also called a flail.

...Yeah, it's called 'kiścień' in Polish. Same with 3-4 other languages I can somewhat speak, different names, only English seems to lump 4-5 unrelated weapons under the same name.

Re: My Little Pony: Avatar is Magic (also Adopt-a-Pony)
I haven't been able to check this thread as often as I'd like, so I just noticed that my request for a ponytar of Caesar is no longer on the to-do list. Could someone point me to the gentlepony who made it so that I can thank them? If Caesar hasn't been tackled yet could someone stick me back on the list? Thanks!
Re: My Little Pony: Avatar is Magic (also Adopt-a-Pony)
Hey, I have a request in already, but was thinking of putting in another request in addition to the Stormtrooper Pony.
From the Airship Wars over in Ponythread, I would like a group shot of the Kommodore and Mr. Wiggles.
The Kommodore Gender: Male Type: Earth pony Coat color: coal (black with hints of gray) Mane color and style: gray Eye color: green Cutie mark: a blue potion bottle, or a potion bottle filled with blue liquid Pose: ready for battle Expressions: resigned Accessories or costumes:
1) crate on his back, with a hose leading to a watergun held in his mouth
2) a nice hat. I'm picturing something like a marching band player's hat with more bells and whistles, but feel free to use your imagination.
3) a pink tabard. if you want to leave it plain, fine, if you want to go in detail, probably a design with balloons, cake, and streamers would work.
Mr Wiggles Gender: Male Type: Earth Pony Coat color: light brown bordering on yellow Mane color: orange Eye color: brown Cutie mark: an explosion (with a blank-flank image of himself about halfway up his back, a safe distance from the danger) Pose: hooking on his saddle Expression: cowed Accessories: a yellow saddle
Thanks for your time and effort! Sorry for the complexity of this.
Re: My Little Pony: Avatar is Magic (also Adopt-a-Pony)
And after indulging in my curiosity, I started watching this show. It was quite a surprise, but it was... Good. Now that I`m more than halfway to it, I can say:
"Hey, those avatars of yours, they look quite cool! I would not mind having one of them!"
-New guy on the forums wants a pony avatar.-
Gender: Male. Or maybe it would look cool if it was fem... Male.
Type: Unicorn pony
Coat color: White
Mane color and style: Yellow, messed up.
Eye color:Shifting between red and blue
Cutie mark: A spherical chunk of ice and a fireball, following each other like a ying yang.
Pose:Walking lazily.
Expressions:"I`m walking again in circles, am I?"
Accessories or costumes: A ragged... Coat? Robe? Cloth. A staff with a storm theme on his back. If it helps, imagine a magician who just stopped being and apprentice, but still has no idea about what such a change means.
I probably just went and asked a lot for an avatar, but it would humor me much to see a Yukari alicorn.
Oh, Celestia, I almost forgot! I need a name for... Him? It? But I can`t think of any horse related name! So, some help avatar makers?
