Bed time for this brony. I need to get up in time to actually watch the show.

Squeeks, you and me, soup and ponies all day.

>thumbnail general image
off to a pretty rough start.

how many hours until new episode?

>>23178594

Ahh yeah. Shit's gona be awesome!

Dammit Squeak... you arent supposed to use the general image as the OP post!

I remember the first time I started a general thread.

I made a killing.

>>23178608

Sorry, my computer had a freakout. Half my files seem to be thumbnails now.

I could use some help replacing a lot of them actually. So post away when the old general dies! I need pictures! Pictures of Ponies!

>>23178608
Well, it's not THE general image but yeah.
Also, going all "WEEE I MAKE A GENERAL" is NOT a good way to start a general (and pretty newfaggish).
Taco Wiz was like that.
I'd even suggest to delete this one and make another one before we hit the image limit in the older one.

delete this thread before it gets any worse

>>23178624

Oh...I didn't know that...I feel like such a newfag. I should know this stuff.

>>23178643
Well now we can't delete it.

It's just the principle of the thing

also i know almost no one does it but you should at least fake a topic in the first post rather then just MLP general and nothing more.

>>23178656
Sure he can, it's not the real general, learn the right size, newfoals...
... Does he KNOW how to delete a general?

>>23178666
Don't you know what "It's the principle of the thing" means?

It means that even if it's a good idea to do something, you can't do it because someone told you to do it.

It's grownup poubting. RESPECT!

i hate you squeak and i hope you burn in hell for what you have done here and not even having the decency to delete it

>>23178672

Oh well look at that

So who has a new topic? Or we could just dig up an old one

Preferably something Rarity related like pic related

>>23178666

If it's that bad, I can just delete it. I don't mind I suppose.

>>23178687

Hey hey... that's not nice

I retract my previous >>23178624 angry statement

Lets all enjoy Squeek's thread in the greater interests of harmony

>>23178694
Noone has repsect for principles.

>>23178694
Well, just...
Look, I'm in this since the very beginning, I made 20 or so thread, I carried the general probably over 50 times.And I never got a name.
I get that you wanna make threads and all that, but it's not something that important, and the way you started this one remembered me of a certain person...
I just thought you could make another one with a decent topic and not such an awful start before we get in this one.
And >>23178672 is still not the general image...

>>23178705
>>23178712

It shall stay then! On principal! And other stuff!

are we making e-valentines with the ponies yet?

everyones being mean to sqeak, the writefag version of fluttershy.

and it is funny to me.

>>23178631
You fucker.

>>23178723
Is he a "she" at least?

>>23178718

The hilarious part is that some of the largest threads we've ever had were completely topicless in the OP

>>23178721
Here's some ideas.

>>23178731
Of course, "Have fun" was my motto.
I currently try to find some though...

>>23178718
It's the secondary image made by Archive. It's for use when another thread has hit it's limit. It'll show up on the archive in a few hours or so, Archive has to add it manually. He posted about this a couple days ago.

>>23178723

I'm The writefag version of Fluttershy? I am not sure if that's a good or bad thing...But I want it to be a good thing. So I shall take it as a good thing.

>>23178751
Oh, ok.
Well I guess all this is settled anyway so let's carry on.
We're in /co/ sleeping time though, so I guess this thread will be pretty slow.

>>23178624
rage zebra? mischief zebra, hurr hurr hurr

>>23178723
speaking of which, someone do a fic where dash and pinkie actually go through with pranking fluttershy and she starts to cry.

>>23178769

I always like the slow nighttime threads anyway. The morning ones just speed by. Like drive by hugs.

>>23178787
or a fluttershy version of one of those torture fics. but because of the way fluttershy is, its just a bunch of really mild shit that would, at most, annoy any other pony, but causes her to break down into a sobbing mess.

>>23178745
with all the writefriending and drawfriending, I meant something else entirely.

>>23178803
SOMEONE DRAW THIS!
I can totally see fluttershy try to torture someone using a feather...

>>23178794
... except it's midday here in Europe, so I either have to get up early or stay really late to enjoy the best threads...

>>23178745
>Applejack

I still need some help refilling my pony folders So anypony who wants to help, the door is open!

>>23178815
you read what I wrote backwards. i wanted fluttershy to be the tortured, not the...

oh my god fluttershy trying to torture someone but being really bad at it do to her inherently gentle personality would be funny.

>>23178813

Valentines fics? I don't really do shipping, but I suppose tis the season! I could probably do something kind cute without shipping anyway. I shall consider it when I finish my Doctor Hoof story.

Let's have a "make your own pony" thread. I kinda enjoy seeing what people come up with. The more ridiculous, the better.

>>23178839
...Dammit guys I wanna sleep

>Oh, you're that bad person that tried to hurt my animals! And you're all tied up!
>How would you like it if I made it worse and, um....
>>Fluttershy looks at wing and plucks a feather out with her teeth
>Do this?
>>Fluttershy starts tickling the person's feet
>the person flinches
>Um...
>>the person starts giggling
>EEK!
>You're not supposed to be laughing...
>>tears form in Fluttershy's eyes
>Are you enjoying this? You're so mean...
>>the person laughs harder
>You're not supposed to like it...
>>Fluttershy begins to break into tears

>>23178832
Why does this go backwards?

>>23178863

What the fuck are you doing?

>>23178839
>>23178839
That's kind of how it works in play torture.
The "Torturer" is more of a spotter.

squeek is a pretty cool guy
eh starts threads incorrectly and doesnt afraid of anything

>>23178878

I don't know....I never noticed...that's really weird.

Parasprite bikini :)

>>23178863
Fuck. That took me a while.

>>23178874
And then she takes lessons from Pinkie Pie. Angle disappears shortly afterwords, Flutershy claims he ran away.

Luna's Remorse

To be the mare in the moon,
Cursed to this realm from divine power,
Forced to wander alone is my boon,
From days I tried to make them cower,

Ponies of Equestria once knew my name,
I brought the night so kind and proud,
The stars, my gift as they came,
Now they slumber as I gaze from the clouds,

Know my sorrow dear sister,
Regret fills my heart,
If only my words could reach her,
A world between us, a fate I wrought,

Tears flow from my eyes,
Darkness wells up all around me,
Oh how I miss the starry skies,
Thoughts of revenge, is it the key?

Forgive me dear sister,
I am blind to who I once was,
Friendship I once had is now a blur,
Thoughts not my own have become my cause,

I was Luna, goddess of the night,
Exile was my boon,
Now my sorrow will be their blight,
I am Nightmare Moon!

Eh it needs some work, should go see my poetry teacher...

>>23178874
And then she tries to do an indian burn with her hooves...

>>23178888
Pinkie thing.

>>23178886

Thanks Chin!

I shall try to start them correctly next time if I get the chance. To get things off to a better start

>>23178874
And then whoever is tied up feels so bad for fluttershy they start giving her tips on how to torture them.

It'd be the most goofy fucking gorefic ever I think we could call it a parody.

"See, take that rod over there and hit me with it"
"Um, like this?"
"No, no. Much harder then that. Try again."
"Well, Okay."
"OW!. Very good, your getting a hang of this already."

It's practically a fucking skit. I'm sure I've seen something like this in monty python.

>>23178943
Yer alright, Squeak.
You gents have a good evening/morning.

Reposting request from last thread:

Drawing with Edna Mode and Rarity.

Also, interesting concept:

"Your fashion is derivative, and evokes nothing quite so much as Versailles-and we all know what happened to the residents of Versailles...'dahling.' Instead of emphasizing and freeing the form, you restrict and disguise it, often for little reason whatsoevah. Thankfully...you came to me...Edna Mode, designer for the stars!"

And then, fashion fight.

By the end of it Edna is wearing a colossal wig and a cape and Rarity is in a form-fitting purple-and-white jumpsuit. Both declare war instantly, and their feud raises waves on in both America and Equestria.

>>23178954
You know, I think I have too.

>>23178954

thats...... Cute.

So are you female irl squeak? You sure seem to type like one.

Anyway /r/ING more lonely Luna stories. It's always awesome when she goes from rock bottom to happy.

>>23178721
If it's anything like the Valentines day /cgl/'s been having....

[ The Subject of New Threads & The Generals ]
---------------------------------------------
Please check the MLP:FiM Thread Locator and
Archive before going out and about and starting
a new thread. /co/ doesn't mind if we stay in
a general thread, but the biggest complaint I
see from them is that there are multiple threads.

A new general should not be made until the official
general is on the brink of autosaging into 404 hell,
and is at the image limit (150 pics). Once a new one
is established, it should be posted at the end of the
old general and everyone needs to herd themselves to
the next.

Obviously trolls & haters cannot be helped.

New System: When the old general thread dies, the
general thread image is to be deleted and placed
onto the new one. Old general will be archived.
New system thanks to Archive!noTe.poNY.

>>23178973

Thanks, good evening/morning to you too!

>>23179008
I shall not say! I like at least a bit of anonymity.

>>23179008

I've found myself typing alot more girlier since i started watching FiM...

>>23179064

I was unaware there was much of a difference.

But then, you know what they say, there are no girls on the internet.

>>23179008
I did a Luna/Caramel fic for the friend-off, nothin' but sugar. http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/01/story-cornsilk.html

Guy from a few threads back here.

So i watched a few episodes. I felt nothing at first.

But then after a while i was...tolerating it. Nothing more.


Stop looking at me like that. It's nothing. Stop it.

>>23179119
one of us
one of us
one of us

>>23179119

>>23179104
Maybe, maybe not. Who knows?


I have to go to class now. See you around, bronies!

>>23179136

Indeed.

Later, Chin! Good luck!

>>23179119
We all thought it was nothing at first, but then a few good fanfics later you can't get enough.

Posting these because apparently they make the author embarrased

>>23179127

Join us....join us..

>>23179158

We need more focus on delicious Twilight stomach

soo

everyone uses firefox these days I guess?

I don't think I'd feel safe on the internet without noscript and adblock plus.

>>23179188

I use Chrome, Me lika the add-ons.

Need more Mr. and Mrs. Cake, the best characters on the show.

I don't care if it's fanart or fanfiction just make it damn it. IVE ALREADY READ EVERY SINGLE FANFICTION INVOLVING THEM AND IVE WATCHED THEIR SCENES IN THE SHOW THOUSAND OF TIMES OVER I NEED MORE DAMNIT.

>>23179188

I like my greasemonkey scripts too much and I hate change.

too bad the drawfriend posts cheat via having to be opened.

This stats page is what keeps me going btw.

It's like a real life RPG or something.

Bronies all over the world!

>>23179208

How are they good characters?

We know almost nothing about them

TWIST is pretty much better than them so far

but then again I think Twist is adorable and she would get along great with Pinkie

>>23179208

You know, Lauren Faust confirmed their in connon first names are (Mrs)Cup Cake and (Mr.)Carrot Cake

And that's just adorible

>>23179230
That would be thuper duper awthum!

>>23179228
>mfw USA has more than 10x pageviews of second place.

>>23179244
>>23179230

Now that Applebloom has shacked up with Scoot and Sweetie... do you think she'll start to grow distant from Twist?

>>23179255
Probably so, which is a damn shame... AB has her damn "Cutie Mark Crusaders" to connect with now.

a fate worse than death?

Making moar silly ponies. What does everybrony think?

>>23179230
.... The fuck did you just say?

A simple couple, thrusted into a chaotic lifestyle when they have to care for the daughter of their deceased friends. Barely able to sustain themselves above debt, they are beset with strife as they must deal with the question...

Should they remain Pinkie's godparents and struggle to survive as she causes problems for their business? Or toss her out and take the easy road?

During these trying times, Mr. and Mrs. Cake will come to rediscover their love for each other, and their love for their god-daughter that they promised to take care of long ago.

>>23179251

Yah, but other countries don't actually have hub right?

Yesterday was the highest page views yet. but today at 2400 means it will probably be passed (i rolls over at 5pm pac)

>>23179251
Well the new show and toys are limited to the USA currently, so that's to be expected. I don't know when it'll start being released elsewhere.

>>23179272

>NightKnight

Now THIS is a superhero EQUESTRIA STYLE

he swoops in when little foals have trouble sleeping and reads them a bed time story and rocks them to sleep

Equestria has no grimdark, only sweet and adorable

>>23179276

I'm talking about canon bro

>>23179244
Oh shit. I just realized Twist is a female ponyfied Weird Al Yankovich.

She will grow into greatness.

>>23179285
Cartoon network has the rights to it outside the USA.

Hopefully that will make it explode even more.

I've watched it evolve just via stats page in the last 12 days. People popping up in communities all over the place.. just yesterday I got 50 people from facebook.

I hope these ponies don't die out any time soon. I love this show way too much.

>>23179292
IT IS FUCKING CANON.

Did you not see the looks on their face as they talked about Pinkie in "Swarm of the Century?"

Note the uncertainty in Mrs. Cake's voice, as if she doesn't know whether to scold Pinkie or just let her be.

>>23179304
It sure is a funny turn for you, given who you were...

>>23179304

>ponies dying out

It's MLP

It's a Hasbro regular that's, if anything, become more popular than ever

It aint going anywhere

>>23179322
He's talking about the cartoon.
Who knows, they may drop out G4 entirely and suddenly start an awful G5 problem solverz style due to rating or stuff like that.

>>23179228
Oh god. Fellow...bronies... in Poland? Or am I the sole source of all those pageviews?

>>23179288
Since Equestria doesn't have any crime, that sounds perfect.

Although you'd probably find him sleeping on park benches because a job like that wouldn't be very profitable (and maybe just a touch creepy).

>>23179319
Hey, I stopped rping Trixie after it got annoying.

>>23179349
I'm not talking about that.
I'm talking about... darker stuff.
I'm the guy who linked your blog on Lulz...

>>23179339

You are most likely the only MLP obsessed faggot in Poland. The fact that you're not sure if you're likely to have made 500 pageviews pretty much says that it's possible you did. How does that make you feel?

>>23179304
Die out? no way...

>>23179361
>I never was on your side

>>23179363
well duh a Polack wouldn't know how many times they clicked something

>>23179386
I'm not saying that, I like that.
It's in fact a good proof of the power of ponies.

>>23179392
People from Poland are "Poles", not "Polacks".

I just sang Winter Wrap Up in the shower

fml

>>23179486

Let your mind sink intoo the pony limbo

I know I have

it feels gooood

>>23179486

Do not feel shame brony...it was only a matter of time.

To MLP general I go! Reposting in the proper thread.

>>23179499

Listening to it right now, humming along without a single care. Damn that tune is catchy

>>23179520

Welcome to the herd

Be sure to check out the general links >>23179051

We are organised ponies we are

>>23179499

Been there, done that.

Multiple times.


Also I'm back from class how's it going if I had a mouse I'd draw something

>>23179543

In 3 hours I'll be asleep... and then it's on to a new episode when I awaken

I'm so excited... NO MORE PONY DROUGHT!

I have a flippin pen tablet, haven't drawn ANYTHING for about 4 years.

I hereby promise to draw stuff soon (got to warm up again first)

I haven't been to 4chan in years and this show brought me back. I just started watching it this week and was disappointed that they're only up to 13, but I can't wait for 14! Pinkie is my favorite, but everypony's cool. Does anyone know if there are plans for a second season? Here is a screencap I took of what I believe to be the exact moment I became a bronie.

>>23179561
so anyone gonna webcam the episode this time?

Totally had to be done.

>>23179595
I wish i could draw :x

I'll just post something I've already drawn.

Have a Derpy comic

>>23179595

HOLY SHIT FLUTTERSHY HAS A HOVERBED!

IT TOTALLY MATCHES HER HOVERARM!

but seriously the tickle torture made me lol

>>23179641
LOL I should really fix it

>>23179612
You just have to start. Practice, my boy.

I really should be sleeping right now.

But I can't stop playing with my ponies.

>>23179663
There. I guess I'll leave cutie marks for later or whatever. Maybe try drawing Angel with references.

>>23179612

MFW I took the 2011 Drawing challenge, and all I've managed is sketches of my dog.

>>23179612

Don't feel ashamed to use some reference poses if you need to. Some of these ponies are a little hard to get used to.

>>23179697

It looks like Fluttershy is trying to 'hoof' Celestia

>>23179539
Thanks.
>>23178832
I'm in a D&D campaign right now in which I am a bard. Also we have summoned a pony each adventure. Coincidence? I think not!

>>23179717
Cute. Husky?

>>23179716

Why do i want a fic of this...

Drawing ponies is a good break from the other art I do.

I've run out of ideas, though... Any suggestions? (sadly I can't draw them now, but i might work on them this weekend)

>>23179737

German shepherd. <3

>>23179759

>ideas

Sad Pinkie timidly removing a ruined cake from the oven, while in the background Dash sits at a table eager for some supper

just poppin' in to say expect some delicious pony art soon

>>23179697
Dangit! Stop tempting me to buy this! I think
I will be able to resist until they make a talking Pinkie Pie.

It's only a matter of time before my room is filled with these things.

This will eventually lead to my virginity being permanent.

Then I will be posting on mlparena trading Trixies for Lunas, and buying limited edition Lyra dolls for 300 bucks.

I'm scared /co/.

>>23179784

That's a good one! I have yet to draw Dash, so I might give that one a shot

>>23179803

Awesome, I look forward to seeing it bro (if you do it that is)

>>23179761
Oooh, those are awesome. Me, I have daschunds (gesundheit!), funny little children they are. REAL smart.

>>23179786
Frollo, get to the darn IRC! We miss you!

>>23179786
Awesome, really awesome. Welcome back.

I spent two and a half hours working on a YouTube Poop. Only one of the jokes made me laugh, so I turned it into a 5 second clip.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtNYEpE_KBc

And yes, I did that sentence mixing myself.

It sucks that there isn't a Fluttershy hard plastic toy. All the other main ponies get one

I have this cute image in my head of Rainbow Dash chuckling nervously as a mischievous young stallion, on whom she has a crush of course, playfully razzes her hair with his nose, just before they race together. Since we're not likely to see any of it in the actual show, how do you see the Ponies taking to courting?

>>23179848

Ha

>>23179855

>courting

Well they're very humanised in their natures... so they'd probably court each other the same way we do

If you're talking about being intimate? Well.. horses are big on the whole 'share your breath' bit, so probably that

>>23179612
Draw 100 bad pictures. the 101st will be pretty good. Just have fun.

>>23179759
Ooh, Spike and Pinkie in Pinkie's signature pose? Please?

>>23179874

I was thinking more along the lines of their individual characters, not just as a species. They're certainly quite humanized, but...I guess it was a fancy way of asking "how would Applejack, Fluttershy, etc. act around a boy they liked"

>>23179824

Ah yes, daschunds, wonderful, except you have to resist putting them in buns.

I wonder what kind of dog Applejack's was?

>>23179908
I love rarity's hat from that episode. And her helmet.

>>23179918

Applejack would probably be abit off balance, maybe even go to Rarity in order to 'girly up' to impress him, only for that to end up as a catastrophe after which she discovers that the guy really liked her for who she was all along

in other words cliche

>>23179918
I guess we'll find out if Rarity is ever around the prince.

>>23179930
Already did the don't judge a book by it's cover thing in episode 9, so I hope that they would do something different. Also, I think it would be cute if they got more into Spike's crush on Rarity. Maybe for a Valentine's episode?

>>23179930
As cliche as that idea is, I thought about how it work on the actual show and it was so adorable!!!!

>>23179963

>Valentine's ep

I'd point out that we already know what eps are coming for most of this month and none of them are about Valentines day... but considering how Winter Wrap up and Fall Weather Friends were timed, I guess it wouldnt matter

What's the ETA on more poni, guys?

>>23179963
You noticed that, seasonally, the episodes have been going backwards?
2: AJ thanks Twilight for help with harvest season.
3: It's harvest season. (late summer)
The next seasonal clue is Winter Wrap-up
Then we have Fall after Winter

I think someone mixed up and the shows got made/aired backwards.

Anyone else/just me?

>>23179990
New ep every Friday.

>>23179999

I put it down to Dr Whoofs meddling with the Timestream

Nice quads btw

>>23180006
Except it's almost Saturday where I am, so I was looking for more of a T-minus than a day.

Hi everypony, I have been in and out of threads the past few days, sometimes posting sometimes not. I know I have never really contributed anything but if possible I have a request for a drawing. Fluttershy nuzzling/leaning into Pinkie Pie saying "Of course I will be your cupcake , but only if you be my cutie pie!". Well no one has to do it, but I figure it would be cute. I won't be offended if no one wants to do it, I just wanted to ask incase somepony wanted something to do.

>>23179939

Rarity meets the prince and he is all that she dreamed of, except that his attire is slightly unsymmetrical, eventually making her snap, tear off his getup and try to fix the blemish.

Raritys embarrassment at the scandal ensures that she never dares approach Canterlot again.

>>23180012

>almost Saturday

If you're one of my fellow Ausbronies..I ask you why are we still awake?

>Captcha: Dorfman, hoofs

umm

>>23180016
>implying she would approach anyway with that dreadful seam placement

>>23180016

I prefer the 'Rarity is talked down to by the snobby prince and /co/ promptly leaps into white knight action' scenario

>>23179855
Make that stallion the head of the wonderbolts, and I think we got a story there.

>>23180031
I just woke up. It's like 40 celsius during the fucking day in Sydney, so I'm sleeping through it.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/14vEUmE4WgUjXhXT8elNTkvt6JpHUTm4-bFXvmhPoQNI/edit?hl=en&authk
ey=CKuAhdcF&pli=1#

Watch this for webrip downloadables.

Odds are I'll watch today's episode before I get around to watching last week's episode.

Yeah, it is pretty much due to her. OCD is funny again.

>>23180012
from what I can guess, its about 4 1/2 hours away till new episode, but not sure as from England here

>>23180095
4-6 till new ep
7-8 till on youtube

>>23180136

Pensivepony posted an announcement about a delay, though

>>23180144

The last time I remember her doing that she posted on time anyway

we can only hope;_;

hey Frollo!

How long until you post that art?

i want to see it before I go to sleep....

>>23179612
Then start drawing. Doodle in notepads. Use MSPaint if you have to. Just draw.
Yes, your first drawings WILL suck, and they will suck hard. But if you look at your drawings and try to improve, you'll get better.
Doesn't even have to be big improvement. Take one thing wrong about a picture and vow to improve upon it next time. "Next time I'd like this circle to look less like an amoeba" is a viable improvement. Just draw.
It doesn't even have to be complicated or great. Just doodle random bullshit, and try to improve each time. Just draw.

See this: >>23179876
If you try, you'll be amazed, a hundred pictures down the line, how far you've come, looking back at the first picture you drew.

>My face when I can barely type much less draw because my hands shake so badly

>>23180181
it's all about training. draw more and eventually the shaking will disappear.

>>23180170
>>23180170
I am not very good at art, but I doodle all of the fucking time. I play alot of tabletop games, like Pathfinder, Classic Battletech, and Battletech RPG. I draw insame numbers of doodles but cant do any real drawing, ive done a few amateur dragons that werent anything pretty but you could tell what they were.
I might just have to start going. I could get some pointers from one of my good friends, he has some of his art published in compilations of fantasy art.

>>23180181

Why are they shaking badly?

Also wtf Captcha? Are you trying to tell me something?

>>23180201

Never heard of Inglip?

>>23180201
Nerve damage lol

>>23180181
My hands shake. I'm hypoglycemic (it's like the babyass retard version of diabetes), and some days are better than others. Some days I can't draw a straight line to save my life, and other days people merely describe my line work as a like a calm but diligent seismograph.
But there are two things: one, if you practice drawing, eventually you'll 'train' your hands to shake less, due to the concentration involved. It's not really a conscious thing, it's just something that happens. Two, your ability to actually draw objects will improve regardless, and people will be able to see this as you get better.
So unless you're unable to hold a pencil (or mouse, or whatever the hell you're drawing with), your argument is invalid. Get drawing!

>>23180217
lol i hope its some kind of deadly disease

>>23180093
Finally, a Rarity pic that looks fit to be airbrushed on the side of a van.

>>23180257
It is not, I am sorry to let you down.

>>23180254
it's not just concentration. drawing involve lots of muscles. drawing regularly help to keep all those muscles in shape.

PONY DRAWING GUIDE AVAILABLE FOR THE LOW LOW PRICE OF FREE!

>>23180257

That's not very nice

>>23180181
Do you have the manual dexterity to write legibly? If so, you meet the minimum physical requirements to be a great artist. From there it's just practice.

>>23180275
That's not much help if you feel like drawing Luna.

>>23180280
I actually pretty much can't write at all.
You would be surprised how little it comes up if you try really hard to avoid it though. But enough about me and my shitty abilities at being good at stuff.

>>23180272
it is, but not as the current general, its under unconfirmed

Have a happy Luna

>>23180293
sure it is
>when in doubt use a reference
see, it tells you what to do right there

Ah ha! So this is where everyone's at!

>>23180293
>>23180293
start slow /co/mrade

>>23180198
Well, like I said, you do have to actually try to improve. If you just doodle without trying to learn anything, you... won't learn anything (natch).
But a lot of people think it's too hard, or that they'll really have to put a lot of work into it, when in reality it's not the case. It just takes time and persistence, and you have to be able to look at your art and say shit like "This is where I fucked up today, and this is why." And that's really all it takes. It's learning from mistakes.
You can also ask accomplished artists for tips, or take classes, or any other sort of thing, because there are a lot of people who would like to draw and a lot of guides out there, and those do help. But for the people who are too shy or don't want to spend money or don't know any artists, I'm here to say that the number one thing an artist needs is a willingness to practice, and everything else is optional.

>>23180294
Oh... That's sad and not the answer I expected. Usually the only problem is practice, which is much easier to fix than an actual physical problem. As an artist by trade myself, I'd be out of marketable skills if my hands weren't in good working order. And I couldn't have fun playing video games either. And my favorite physical activities also involve hand skills. Life without a high degree of manual dexterity is truly a scary thought, my life pretty much revolves around it.

Just out of curiosity though, how do you deal with things that require signatures? Like say, writing a check.

Anyone going to be streaming the episode today?

>>23180325

have a sad luna instead.

>>23180374

MLP has no streams

>>23180335
Right, but there aren't a lot of good screencaps of Luna, and certainly none I've saved.

>>23180351
I've got thousands of hours of drawing experience, I've just never done any MLP fan art before.

>>23180360
>>23180360
>>23180360
With my playing alot of D&D and related games, coupled with my inventive mind. I can create amazing landscapes with words and I have been told that my poetry is beautiful, maybe I should try my hand at more physically visual art. I enjoy poetry but I usually only write it in extreme emotional states.

>>23180389

Did someone say they needed Luna screencaps?

>>23180432
I actually realized I don't have many either.

>mfw no Luna in the personality poll

>>23180488
>mfw no luna happymeal toy

I now have the urge to make this a sad-Luna thread.

Well I'm off to bed bronies

Cant wait for new ep in the morning thereabouts

Reposting this to give ya'll a topic

Peace out

1. Pet one
2. Tell one she's Pretty
3. Hug another
4. Race one
5. Brush another's mane
6. Help one out with her daily tasks

My favorite.

Has anyone else tried tracking the different noises the ponies make when they bounce?

So far I've heard Applejack's (a quick twoing like a mouth-harp's), Twilight's (a tink noise), Pinkie Pie's, and Apple Bloom's (a hilariously adorable little noise like someone flicking a very tiny doorstop-spring). Are there any others that haven't been heard yet? If so, what do you imagine they'd sound like?

>>23180532
Wait, where did that happen?

And that's it really.

>>23180543
Right after they roll into to town, some fat baby pegasus put flowers on Luna.

>mfw Luna returns and has a really bitchy personality and everyone hates themselves for treating her like the woobie

>>23180543
Wow... I totally zoned out every time I got to the end of ep2. Just rewatched, I never realized Luna even came back to Ponyville.

>>23180558
She probably won't be a total bitch. It would be hilarious if she weren't as much of a sadsack as everyone makes her out to be, though.

Maybe she's overly proud. Maybe she's got a flair for the dramatic. Maybe she's really snarky.
I mean, think of what Nightmare Moon's personality was like (outside of EVIL), and then downsize that into something that could actually interact with people on a personal level.

>>23180574
Well it doesn't help that she literally vanishes when Celestia talks to Twilight.

anyone got the comic where Luna discovered that a thing called "night life" has been invented during her 1000 year imprisonment?

>>23180587
I expect her to be a really interesting character when she comes back, I have faith in the writers. But Luna will always be the infinite sadness to me. Just like Derpy will always be Derpy.

>>23180613

>>23180607
>mfw twilight and luna are both night-themed ponies.

What if Twilight was being trained to be the new Luna?

Oh god!

I just made Pinkies voice slower via audacity and it sounds like OLD WOMAN!
http://filesmelt.com/dl/CUPCAKE_HORROR.wav

My life is ruinde!

>>23180634
...
THAT MAKES SOOOOO MUCH SENSE!
Twilight was Celestia's surrogate little sister!

>>23180181
Look up Micheal J Fox

Based on these, make choosings on who you would kiss.
Personally, I think Luna, Fluttershy, and maybe Twilight would be best.

>>23180634

What if she is being trained to become both of them?

>>23180650
Oh god i typed ruinde.

>>23180650
>>23180650
WTF, SHE SOUNDS LIKE OPRAH!

>>23180659
>mfw Luna's is my ideal dream kiss

>>23180650
IT'S PINKIE AS A REGULAR MIDDLE AGED WOMAN!

>>23180659
Luna kiss sounds hot as fuck.

1. Pet Fluttershy
2. Tell Twilight Sparkle she's Pretty
3. Hug Pinkie Pie
4. Race Rainbow Dash (and be mocked by her)
5. Brush Rarity's mane
6. Help Applejack out with her daily tasks (yay, free apples!)

7. Kiss Luna tenderly
8. Tell Derpy she have a pretty cute eyes

>>23180659
>Based on these, make choosings on who you would kiss.

Pinkie Pie

>>23180530
>1. Pet one
2. Tell one she's Pretty
3. Hug another
4. Race one
5. Brush another's mane
6. Help one out with her daily tasks

All answers Pinkie Pie, seriuosly bronies I dont know why we even have this kind of topic we all know Pinkie Pie is best pony.

>>23180664
Wow, that's like the total opposite of the darkfic "Celestia is training Twilight so that she can steal her body/obtain the elements/absorb more magic" theory.

After 1000 years of rule by herself, Celestia has grown weary. Unbeknown to Twilight, she's training Twilight as a replacement. Once her training is complete and Twilight has learned everything she needs to become a competent, dependable, just and kind ruler, Celestia will transfer her power over to Twilight and live out the rest of her days as a normal, pink-haired pony, with her little sister by her side.

>>23180659
Celestia, no doubt

>>23180731
The description on your pic may have change since the recent wave of newfags
except that Pinkie IS the best pony [spoiler/]

>>23180659

definitely Applejack, Pinkie Pie, or Luna

>>23180739

You just might be onto something anon.

>AKINATOR DIDNT GUESS CELESTIA
>AKINATOR FIRST GUESSED RAINBOW DASH

>CELESTIA ISN'T ON THE LIST

>>23180813
Did you check for Celest?

>>23180634
Celestia=sun
Luna=moon

Twilight is clearly some amalgamation of the two.

>>23180850
http://filesmelt.com/dl/CUPCAKE_HORROR.wav
AND PINKIE PIE IS OPHRA!

>>23180850
she's their lesbo incest MAGIC! baby, obviously

>>23180813
Same experience. What a pile of lame.

>>23180574
Yeah, the terribleness of Episode 2 tends to repel attention like that.

>>23180850
Trixie's fool name is Trixie Dust.
I think her name is misspelled on purpose and is actually Trixie Dusk. Dusk. Revealing her as the last key to the 3 unicorns.


i totally just made that up.

can somebrony link the cupcake horror fanfiction?

>>23180862

this makes me wonder what the rest of the ponies sound like when slowed down...

>>23180892
Hey, I liked the... last five minutes... of episode two.
Admittingly the whole trip through the forest was retarded (except for the Pinkie song), but the final confrontation with the god damn rainbow of light was pretty sweet.

>>23180930

sooo, i just wrote a short pony apocalypse fanfic. im kinda reluctant to post it tho...

hmmm...

>>23180952
If everypony agrees that episode 2 - which set the overarching plot for the whole series - was not a good episode, exactly how did we all get hooked?

>>23180976
What's the worst that could happen?

>>23180976

>>23180930

People have this disgrace to literature saved on their computers?

>>23180862
Dude it sounds totally different.
Is this the voice actors real voice before its sped up?!

>>23180984
Only newfoals dislike episodes 1-2.

>>23180984
How DID we all get hooked? I'm still not sure why exactly I like MLP:FiM, but I do. WHY?

>>23181004
One of my RL friends was hooked around 5 minutes into ep 1.
Another reached the elements of harmony and said "What the fuck is this sailor moon shit?" He and his wife went on to decide that they wouldn't watch it until they had kids of their own.
>denial

WHY CAN'T I STOP WATCHING?!?

>>23180984

I dunno man. I wish i knew.

>>23181022

judging from your tripcode and avatarfagging I would assume its because you're a furry.

>>23180976

>apocalypse fanfic

More My Little Murder: The Grimdarkening stories? Well, as long as it has a savior to kick the shit out of the assholes that would spread misery to all ponykind, I'd read it.

Captcha: Nuclear itionome (Is it a nuclear war apocalypse?)

>>23181004

>newfoals

>>23181018
I got a gay friend hooked on the show on the opening animation.

I myself got hooked after episode what, like 4? I started with 12 and got curious since the main cast didn't make much of an appearance in that episode.

>>23181022
Let's all blame Lauren Faust. How dare she make a girls show that just happened to be a generally good show that managed to appeal to everyone.

Honestly, I just think of all the shows I watched as a kid that were for "everyone" but most of the characters were boys.

>smurfs
>loony toons
>turtles

This is just a show for everyone with an all female leading cast. Plus it's not retardified like adults seem to think childrens' programming is supposed to be.

>elmo

>>23181062
Oh, I'm sorry! I totally meant Newborn Cuties.

There's so many!

>>23180984
Well, I came in at Swarm of the Century.
I'd already watched the first half of the first episode on Youtube, thought it looked pretty cute but not interesting enough to really follow.
Then one day I was scrolling through channels and saw that MLP was about to show on this new channel called 'The Hub'.
"Oh, that's that new pony show everyone is talking about online. I guess I can watch that, since there's nothing else on."

Halfway through the infestation I was hooked. I've been obsessing with ponies ever since.

Pic related. It's the first scene I actually laughed at. Pinkie Pie you are so awesome.

ATTEMPTING RE-ENTRY!

>>23180996
>>23180989
ok then. im a first timer tho. i noticed others post stories in the form of pictures. is that the way to go?

>>23181086
blank flanks

>>23181080
>implying elmo isn't awesome
only faggots who cant get over how children's programming has changed since they were children hate elmo

>>23181091
My entry drug was this gif.
Then some of the memes made me lol.
My first episode was THE GREAT AND POWERFUL TRIXIE.

My bronyism was pretty much inevitable.

>>23181094

Orgy time everypony!
I'm going to hell.

>>23181099

Some people post them as images so they can pass them around easier later, but honestly, nobody really cares either way.

>>23181123
I wrote two paragraphs to retort, but then remembered this is a pony thread. So here's one of the first pony memes I found.

>>23181187
Seems like too much of a clusterfuck
needs inking/colour please

>>23181206

>>23180952
I thought the conclusion was the worst part. The "friendship saves the day" thing that I ALWAYS HATE, Luna's inexplicable instant attitude change, just awful in every regard.

>>23180984
It had already hooked me at episode 1 which was so much better. If I had started with 2 I'm pretty sure I never would have watched it again. Plus, even with the other, mostly good episodes, I try to mentally edit out the Friendship lesson in the end. Just with episode 2, the whole conclusion was literally Friendship saving the day, so it was much harder to ignore.

I'm a lot more into My Little Pony - Friendship is One of Various Equally Important Things In Life than My Little Pony - Friendship Sledgehammer In Your Face At All Times. And to the show's credit, it is often more the former, though episode 2 was painfully the latter.

>>23181222
Yes. You beat me to it.

>>23181187

Drawing guidelines. Drawing guidelines everywhere!

>>23181211
It's called a work in progress. When you draw a bunch of figures together, it helps to start by drawing them entirely.

I feel confident ink, color and cleanup are coming.

Also... so very wrong. Cary on.

>>23181055

Yeeeeaahh, there's totally something sexual about VG Cats.

>>23181080
>Plus it's not retardified like adults seem to think childrens' programming is supposed to be.

Diary of Lieutenant General Twilight Sparkle, the last entry.

It's over. After years of sickness, famine and wars, it's finally over. The four aspects of the apocalypse are dead. It all started 5 years ago, when a deadly plague emerged. Hundreds of ponies died, but that was only the beginning. During the time of utmost desperation, our food supplies began rotting. Ponyville still had enough fresh crops to keep itself running, but others weren't so lucky. Fillydelphians, running low on supplies, turned their sinister gaze on us. We had to kill our own kind while defending the crops. Many died, and some went missing. Sergeant Applejack formed a squad and went looking for ponies that got lost in the chaos, especially her little sister, but her efforts were fruitless. After a month, anypony still missing was proclaimed dead. Applejack never gave up hope though. She claimed that she can feel Applebloom is still alive. We kind of admired her determination, however futile it might have seemed. I myself lost many friends during this time. Fluttershy died in the first conflict. Then Rarity, who enlisted as a supportive magic specialist, went missing in action. And then Pinkie Pie who fell prey to the plague. Even our sun goddess Celestia suffered of the sickness. She was barely able to keep the day-night cycle going, and only with Lunas help. I blamed myself for not being able to stop this. During my studies of the supernatural, I found a mention of the apocalypse. It mentioned the four aspects of the apocalypse - War, Famine, Pestilence and Death - who would come to this world looking for bodies to take hold of and then spread suffering to the land, it's inhabitants and even their hosts alike. I never found a way to stop them though. The two most dangerous were Pestilence - a pegasus that brought the plague wherever he went, and War - an earth pony that made everyone around him go mad with bloodlust.

...cont.

cont...

For years we tried just avoiding them. There was noone to turn to for help, so we did what we could. We defended our supplies, barricaded Ponyville and tried our best to survive. That changed 5 months ago, when War entered Canterlot, and his very presence drove everypony insane. When all seemed lost, Princess Luna entered the fray and managed to stop the bloodshed and vanquish War by sacrificing herself. With Luna dead and Celestia weakened, the day cycle slowed considerably. Even so, the news of Wars death sparked new hope everywhere. All conflicts ceased and everypony joined forces under the united flag of Ponyville Confederation. Pestilence was found and killed when Captain Rainbow Dash lead a lightning bolt trough his body while the rest of her team restrained him. Noone survived the encounter. Famine, a unicorn who caused everything around her to wither and die, was avoided for a long time. No projectile could reach her, no magic could stop her and no pony dared approach her. She just wandered around Equestria aimlessly. She was finally killed when Colonel Macintosh managed to get into her melee range and strike her down. He died shortly after. The last apocalypse pony was located hiding in a cave in the mountains near Fillydelphia. I decided to deal with her personally. When I saw her, I remembered the sad look on Famines face. I always suspected that the apocalypse ponies were actually just young fillies who got possessed by the aspects of destruction. Never before has it been so obvious though. There she was, Death herself. Hearing the commotion outside, I ordered the guards to not let anypony, especially not Sergeant Applejack, to enter the cave. I prepared a spell that would evaporate everything inside. Noone will ever know. It's better this way. Death looked at me with her sad, blank eyes.

"Im so sorry." she said.

No Applebloom, I'm the one who is sorry...

Not bad, liking the twist at the end.

>>23181362
What?

I know how to use drop shadow to make nice, anti-aliased borders, but I wanted to simplify for a photoshop experimentalist.

Less freaking out, please?

>>23181302

Cool grimdark story bro. Is that the end of it?

>>23181343

thanks brah

Started on the sprite Ponyliths, sadly I will not be able to do all six of the main cast.

>>23181375
why thank you ^^

>>23181302
>>23181282

I liked this. Will you be expanding on it?

>>23181402
Why not?

Ok, if I don't have a webcam, is there any way to stream shit from my TV to my computer?

>>23181302
>Noone

>>23181445
The one I'm sure about is Twilight, I think there are one to many shades of purple, and I couldn't really simplify the sprite without losing definition. I shouldn't have a problem with Rainbow Dash...that's next, but hey any other minecraft bronies are welcome to try making Twilight.

>>23181433
maybe. i have plenty of ideas, the problem is putting them on the paper...

>>23181362
Or better yet, double-click the layer in the Layers window, and access a ton of layer styles that can be easily altered and edited after applying. It's got Stroke and so much more.

>>23181489
I also liked the story. See? Posting things is perfectly safe.

>>23181467
fixt, thx for pointing it out. as i said, im not a native...
