I think that should be fine, maybe you could make avatars out of them too and put them up for adoption?

Also, you need to make that avatar avatar-sized Akrim, as of now I can only see the head on Sammiches.

AWESOME work though!

(Also, for the record, I did try to start at the end of the list. However, as I haven't seen the show, I had to take simpler requests to be comfortable filling them.)

It won't show up on posts where you didn't already have a sig. Now that you've got something there, it will show up on your posts from now on (and will show changes you make to your sig later).

Holy crap, you guys are awesome.

How about Arthur Dent as a pony?

Gender: Male
Type: Earth pony
Coat color: Dark green, like movie-Arthur's robe
Mane color and style: Red and brown striped, like BBC-Arthur's robe (except not plaid)
Eye color: I'd call this brown
Cutie mark: A towel. Just a plain towel, white or light-colored, whatever color seems to work.
Pose: Neutral stance, four hooves on the ground. View is from the side, and his head is turned 45 degrees toward the viewer.
Expressions: Quizzical/confused, one eyebrow raised.
Accessories or costumes: Carrying a towel in his mouth. One with pink and blue flowers on it.

Ooh, I remember someone made an Arthur Dent pony on page 20-ish.

Less abominable version here, but I'm not very happy with how it turned out in the end. That said, tell me if you want an avatar-sized version.

I'm not saying I don't like it, because its great, and much closer to what I was originally thinking than what I thought would be interpreted from my somewhat convoluted request. I just tend to obsess over tiny details.

That being said, would it be alright for me to put in a request for a few edits to my pony at the bottom of the list, or should I just stop looking a gift horse in the mouth?

Akrim.elf made one a while ago, but it's been her avatar already.
So here we go, Seffy-roth. Seh-Φ-roth. Dohoho.



The 120x120 image's absurdly long masamune is cut off, otherwise it'd be a tiny avatar, if you want an avatar. If it looks too funny, the bigger image is there to crop however you like.

*Politely, yet eagerly, awaits TRONpony*

EDIT: Here are pics for reference.

This is a good overall view, especially for the detail on the limbs and "hooves".
Spoiler


I'd like him to have his disc, being psychically (like the ponies in the show pick things up) whipped around him in an arc, JUST like this (with the sweet trail of blue light if possible). The gun in my current avatar is entirely unnecessary for the ponytar, btw.
Spoiler


This image perfectly shows the cutie mark I'd like for him to have (instead of the disc, as I'd originally requested). The mark covering TRON's chest here is what I'd prefer.
Spoiler


Anyway, hope this helps!
