Well...Seeing as the ponytars are all in rage right now, I thought to request one for myself. Here are the specifics:

Gender: Male
Type: Earth pony
Coat color: White
Mane color and style Long and windswept dark brown mane
Eye color: Glowing white or deep blue if previous option is impossible to make work
Cutie mark: Silver shield
Pose: Basic standing pose facing right, with left hoof holding a sword over left shoulder
Expressions: Long-suffering expression or annoyed expression. If possible, long-suffering annoyance
Accessories or costumes: Basically, this would be ponified version of my current avatar, so accessory would be the sword, and costume would be armour of blue crystal and white cape

Could someone pleeeeease do this for me? You will have hugs.

BTdubs McGack, if you're still here, I screwed up on layering on the above (right front leg's "sleeves").

Fixed them here:

To a sort of combination of Celestia and Nightmare Moon with a white coat and nightmare moon armor on. There is a lot of flexibility here, so if you think something I suggested wouldn't work feel free to change it.


Gender: Male
Type: Alicorn
Coat color: White
Mane color and style: Same as Nightmare Moon's or in a rainbow style like Celestia or a combination of the two.
Eye color: Whatever you deem fit.
Cutie mark: Sun with a moon in it. Something like this.
Pose: Any you want.
Expressions: Smiling, or whatever you want.
Accessories or costumes: Blue or gold nightmare moon armor.


Thanks in advance to whoever does this!



OH NO Princess Celestia has dandruff!

WOW. That is even better then I thought it would be.
You are now officially awesome in my book.

EDIT: Now that I think about it, Could you change the color of the armor a bit to make it a shade of dark blue or light purple? Seems too much like Celestia to me.

If you painted her as a dark shade of midnight and changed her cutie mark to the moon, this will totally be canon Luna when she reaches the same size as Celestia.

The following request never happened

Requested Ponytar, assuming it hasn't been done yet. I'd like a Gordon Freeman(e) pony, though the template is below:

Gender: Male
Type: Earth pony
Coat color: Orange
Mane color and style: Black color, short-ish style
Eye color: Blue
Cutie mark: A lowercase lambda (λ)
Pose: Not important
Expressions: Blank staring into the distance
Accessories or costumes: A crowbar, either in his mouth or resting against him, glasses, if possible an HEV Suit.

Awesome!

Credit already given. The only thing I might change is to make the eyes golden. In my opinion it's perfect either way though!

OK, this is bugging me. Her left wing is behind the field stars. Shouldn't the stars be behind everything?

I guess. It still looks to me like the wing is float in space.

You mean the blue mass in the middle? It's supposed to be her mane floating between.

But it looks like her mane extends all along her left side and down underneath her belly, cutting her wing off. Could you make it look like it curves around the wing, or splits in two to past in front and behind it. I don't know, it just looks creepy to me.

I don't know how to split the mass so it doesn't look weird, but I can move the wing in front. Since it's sort of Betropper's avatar now, only if he says anything.

Mane color and style: teal, long and flowy-straight
Eye color: teal? only because I can't think of anything better, artist can trump
Cutie mark: a dozuki (the one not in use)
Pose: rampant? showing off, certainly
Expressions: gleefully triumphant
Accessories or costumes: neigh, but thanks
Showing off... showing off what?

That would be ...nice. /end fluttershyspeak

But really, it looks pretty good as it is to me minus the cut wing. And really, I don't think anyone really noticed the wing except for those who look for it. Cutting off the part of her mane that pokes out from her belly should do it though.

Trademarks possibly mentioned jokingly, depending on how strictly Adobe® enforces their obscure guidelines

Could you possibly do a video guide at some point? I'd love to be able to draw these, but I just don't know how.
