So I managed to decrypt the first iTunes episode. 720p, AAC stereo audio as well as AC3 5.1 audio, colors are washed out and the AC3 audio is only 192kbps for some reason (instead of the usual 384) but otherwise it's pretty damn good.

While we're on the topic of custom ponies...

I'm making up a prostitute pony and the only name I could think of, Sweet Stuff, is already taken by a G1 pony (seriously).

What should I name her?

Someone accidentally made a Sue Storm pony in a previous thread. Eagerly awaiting more Doctor Whoof-esque happy accidents.

>OC thread

I drew my friend this for her birthday. She loved the hell out of it.

I'm not a brony, but I'm apparently good at drawing them.

This is what I was talking about. Big circle for the head, two smaller circles for the body.

But yes, if you wanted to give a brief overview on a better way to draw them, that would be greatly appreciated. Any bit of knowledge I can soak up is always welcome.

Name: Varg the Cleft-Hoof

Ponyville's first and only banker a result of a bureaucratic error which resulted in the conversion of his family haberdashery into a mausoleum and then into a bank once it was decided that the dead were better off not dying.

Unfortunately, he is currently broke as Ponyville is a socialist paradise.

Maxie!! My Favorite! How did you know! You Are Crazy!!

Did you get a chance to read your fic request?

I can't remember much about what happened. Some things would be clear if I could, but only up to that moment. I could have remembered the bitter taste of the metal on my tongue and the pressure in my as depressed the trigger. Then of course nothing else. Not when my head bounced back. Not the feeling of the bullet passing through my brain (brains don't nerve ending anyway) or when it showed itself out the back, turning my head into a blossoming flower of flesh and skull. I guess I fell down after that. Didn't notice the cascade of blood pouring out of my nose and staining my chest. Nobody likes a bloody nose. Then I if what I read was right, my body would get loose and made a mess on the floor. Gross. I would have wondered what the other ponies would thought when rushed into the room. I made sure they heard, other wise I would have done it somewhere else. I'll never find out though. Oh well.

>>23515049

I'm neither, just a brony.

You're being an asshole over nothing.

>>23514881

No box.

Artists usually have an objective in mind when they create art. If that objective is met, it's reasonable to consider it successful. If it is not, then it seems reasonable to consider it unsuccessful.

If you have no clear objective in mind when you create art, you will get very confused very fast.

It's not the opinion, it's the way you're going about it.

Acting like you're intelligent about art, and yet the only thing you've said is " Technical" and "shit". Why not give real criticism? Like, the artist needs a REAL background, not the stereotypical green grass and blue sky with clouds. The ponys are drawn alright for a first try, but they seem too stiff.

If you want to give an opinion and sound smart, try saying something more than " It's shit".

What is this? The most you could read out of my posts is a suggestion I have some basic art knowledge. I wasn't aware that's apparently beyond the scope of most people. I also didn't know that being polite enough to let someone know they're not "pretty good" and shouldn't be complacent was such a terrible thing to do.

I guess I expected you guys not to be so incredibly delicate.

Trixie Turn, a former prostitute pony who, after years of abuse and humiliation finally got the courage to run away from her pimp, taking whatever money she could grab on the way out. Spending as little as possible, she slowly made her way across Equestria, eventually buying herself a wagon to sleep in, and a few books on magic. As horrible as her past had been, it was behind her, she reinvented herself, and using what she knew of manipulating other ponies, started a small traveling show as The Great And Powerful Trixie.

And we all know how well *that* worked out for her.

>>23515468

It's a huge cake made out of smaller cakes.

Ridiculous. So we're just supposed to fawn over everything? We're not supposed to encourage anyone to improve? It's nice to see you prefer deliberately leaving someone who wants to do something well to wallow in mediocrity lest you make a slight scratch on his ego.

Okay, to make up for that guy being a jerk, here's some genuinely useful advice: your characters "against a background" rather than "in an environment". Add some foreground elements and some overlap.

Also, the non-flying pony doesn't appear to be making contact with the ground. Try to think about how your character is interacting with the ground-plane, which parts of her body are baring her weight and how that would affect them (for example, her belly might be pressed flat against the ground). Cast-shadows would also help clarify the relationship between her and the ground plane.

There are some problems with proportions and anatomy, but those are difficult to explain in a text comment.

OP of the picture here.

This dude's right. I really don't care. I'm trying to be an artist and I can draw other things a lot better than this, but this was just a gift for a close friend. She liked it and that's all that matters, really. It's not like I'm going to be drawing ponies all the time now, it was a one time deal that took 30 minutes. 30. MINUTES. (also, not a he.)

And dude that said it was shit, just cool your jets. Who cares if they're whiteknighting me? You're kind of making yourself look bad when you really don't need to. Just ignore 'em.

Holy hell. I sure picked the wrong thread to talk art in, huh?

Just ignore >>23515502. Whoever it is is some troublemaker who keeps trying to pretend it's still me (the guy who posted >>23514334) shitting up the place.

>>23515580

YOU'RE A LOOSE CANNON, PONY.

I'M NOT RISKING MY BADGE FOR ANOTHER CRAZY STUNT LIKE THAT LAST ONE YOU PULLED.

Does anyone know of any torrents for the later episodes? My friend has a unsteady net connection and can't use the rapidshares that well. They have them all up to Bridle Gossip but we want to keep watching them together so any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

>>23515627
Thread sort of went south, yeah.
But I'm appreciating your guide.
But...why so small handwriting? My terrible eyes can make no sense of it.

>mi cara cuando hispanos

so has their been a robot unicorn attack but with MLP characters made yet?

Mr. Yaridovich, if you're still lurking then damn you. I have been listening to
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zHZj8Xp-Ik&feature=player_embedded#at=25
on youtuberepeat for what appears to have been over two hours.

>>23515570
not bad

>>23515625
your drawing isn't shit though. it isn't genius but it sure isn't shit. (i could post shitty a pony but i don't want to be a dick like the "art critic")

>>23515605

Maybe he even performs as a statue impersonator of sorts.

>>23515567
The only issue I have is trying to read your handwriting! But otherwise, I think I understand it. Basically it's like the shoulders and hips are solid parts, with the stomach part in between being a somewhat amorphous blob that hangs under its own weight, but has a decent degree of elasticity to it.

I'll definitely pour over this and give it a shot.

>>23515658

The fandom seems to be comprised of a large amount of hispanics and swedes.

>>23515658
>Mi cara cuando soy de Europa, no américa.

>>23515657
Oh no, I was so proud of myself for making myself write big!

Haha, would you like a transcript? My handwriting has been the bane of my mother since... well, since I learned to write.

The only pony I would ever tolerate.

>>23515625
Thanks for being the only other reasonable person in this whole thing. Good luck with your future art. Some studying and continual practice and you'll probably turn out alright. So long as you can take criticism (unlike everyone else in /co/ apparently) you're already on the right track.

You're cool by me.

>>23515583
mucha suerte con eso!

I would be much obliged.
Thanks for taking the time!

Has anyone noticed the irony that Hasbro made Celestia a princess so children wouldn't associate her with evil queens... and then we went and made her a tyrant anyway?

And if she had been Queen Celestia as Lauren wanted, we would have been running with the evil queen stereotype!

who's this douchebag?

>>23515775
That pony is not morbidly obese. I call shenannigans.

>>23515775

Is that Wolf Nanaki? I wouldn't know because i filtered him months ago

>>23515714

I'm getting better with criticism since I'm actually trying to use it when I get it. Criticism is a lot better for me than " Oh it's good!" or " I like the colors!". Criticism promotes growth, which I need. Can't wait to finish Senior year in Highschool (Yes I'm 18, not underage) so I can try to get into art college. I want to major in animation.

>>23515756

Why is it that all the most amazing artists have near-illegible handwriting?

I tried, but I just could not read a lot of that.

>>23515849
Looks like it's from that one cartoon about the kids parents that are fairies. You know the one.

>>23515714

Art student here.

The problem wasn't the criticism, as someone else has said, it's that the criticism wasn't useful, or at least, wasn't useful enough to make up for its unpleasantness.

The criticism wasn't made out of an interest in helping, it was made out of an interest in boosting the criticizer's ego.

>>23515701

Agreguen a un Chileno más a la lista.
La mercadería pirateada de FiM ya está disponible en las importadoras chinas y ferias persas, por cierto. (La serie la venden en la calle, subtitulada y todo, por solo mil pesos el DVD con 3 episodios)

>>23515827
If you haven't become callous yet then don't go to the artwork critique board. They would anally violate you in the worst way imaginable.

>>23515827
Professional animator? Good luck with that. A lot of those jobs are going to Korea and other cheap labor sources, and jobs for that are just scaling back in general. I don't know where you live, but if it isn't in one of the countries with prominent animation studios, good luck. Even if it is, some of them pay near slave wages for near slave labor, and still have high standards for you to get anywhere.

Don't let me discourage you from chasing your dreams, though. Just be sure to be really dedicated if that's the field you want to pursue.

>>23515859

Oh shit really? Is the quality decent? Probably not.

>>23515837
I know that, which is why I'm looking at a short one. Simplifying the scenes and dialogue for a short comic shouldn't be too hard, and I don't expect the thing to be done anytime soon.

>>23515849
It's glorious... a drawfriend needs to remake it!

>>23515905

I wouldn't look to them in a million years! I'm mostly looking for it in my peers and teachers. Hell, our ceramics teacher can be brutally honest without being mean, so I tend to go to him if I want a good opinion.

>>23515884
You would not believe the disappointment my father suffered when I defied him and didn't become a lawyer/doctor/psychologist/something else prestigious with stereotypical bad handwriting.

I'm manning up and am using the text tool. Not going to lie, my closest friend is a web designer and a total typeface nerd and I actually avoid using the text tool because I dont want to incur the wrath of THAT IS THE WRONG FONT.

No, really. Thats honestly why I write shit instead of handy dandy text tool.

>>23515465
How about this? It kinda looks more concerned than awkward, though.

>>23515849
Way to bring back repressed memories!

>>23515628
Is that a template or something? I remember wondering where that Rainbow Dash came from.

>>23515591
Comics take time... maybe try a collaboration, distributing the panels between the drawfriends? Could turn out beautiful.

>>23515627
This... has been happening way too often for my taste...
Anyway, some tips from our best are always appreciated.

>>23515756
Eh, doesn't matter about the name. Celestia just seems very much like a pharaoh or "God Emperor of Dune" or whatever due to the fact that she created the world according to Equestrian propaganda, anyways .

Besides, having her be a horrible absolutist is just more hilarious.

Personally, I get a very North Korean vibe from Equestria. The citizens believe that their leader created the world, have never seen outsiders and generally fear them (I guess Griffins are an exception), and ultimately they look to a representative of the royal court/dictator to solve all their problems (Twilight).

Not easy to do. But you're better at it than most of my family who have been living here in the U.S. for years now.

I love you Bronies! have a badly done Bowie Pony

fine I'll dump my pony OC... i got about 5, might as well dump em all right? Ive posted most of them before but w/e.

Yaridovich, you should add this AMV to the synchtube playlist, it's awesome: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irQ_d78feMA

It's a modification of a well known image from some drawfag. I'd find the original to post, but effort.

My problem is that I want to do things such as animation and comics, and both are declining, animation being overseas, and comics becoming (sadly) a dying art form.

I want to do what I love, but I'm worried I won't be able to support myself that way. But who knows? I might make it big, find that one person who loves my art and I can make a fortune. It's a stretch, but aren't most dreams?

2/5

3/5

>>23515990
That's a good idea.

Maybe have a different Drawfriend do each page.

... goddamn I hate you pony-people.

Did an attempt to use illustrator to finish this Pinkie Fudge Pudge pic.

I'll leave the long self depreciating post and just say I don't like it and I dunno, maybe I'll redo it by hand so it doesn't suck.

Also I didn't realise you could fuck up at using Illustrator but apparently I managed so whoo I guess...

4/5

>>23516046

My advice to you is to have a decent back-up plan in case all else fails.

It's great chasing a dream, but you need something to catch you if you fall on your face.

5/5 and i was just sketching this today.

>>23516095

So true.

If I fall, I'm thinking of becoming an art teacher or maybe writing.

This world is not kind to the "starving artist" cliche. It's a careful balancing act between living the dream and getting your "10 years" pin at Friday's while telling all your customers "I'm just waiting until my big break comes through."

But I'm majoring in something where nobody's sure how to make money at it anymore too, so I'm certainly in no position to tell you to take the more responsible route. Idealism's more fun. Screw the practical.

Para no estar tan Off topic, I mean, telling you the truth about how deranged you are. Si en mi barrio agarran a un tipo de 20, 23 años con MLP, lo fajan, le pegan, lisa y llanamente. In USA it's easier to be a weirdo.

>>23515947

La serie viene con esta calidad y me llamó la atención que hayan usado los subtítulos que YO hice y distribuí en un foro antes de navidad.
Lo tomaré como un halago... supongo.

(For the non spanish talkers: The cartoon is being sold as bootleg DVDs by street peddlers for $ 1,000 pesos, aka roughly $ 2,20 dollars. Very cheap, considering that 1,000 pesos can get you 10 crunchy bars, or 4 blank DVDs, or 2 subway tickets.Or 2 *good* empanadas, 2.5 liters of Coca-Cola, and such...)

Sorry about the fighting you guys ;_;

>>23516046

The problem with comics isn't that the art form is dying, it's that the industry and culture that pervades it is rather oppressive.

Novels aren't a dying art form, and comics are the same thing only expressed through images rather than words. Novels would be dying art form, however, if they all catered exclusively to a relatively narrow target audience.

If you look at the wide range of subject matter covered by novels, and compare it to the range of subject matter in the US comic industry, I think the problem becomes apparent.

>>23516241
How's the quality? Any better than the FLVs?

do it because you love it. i've got an english degree and i know most writers only get supplemental incomes from writing but fuck it. i don't need to make a whole bunch of money. i have a decent apt, computers, etc but i don't need a lot of expensive toys like a new sportscar etc. i do have a day job but not one that takes all my time so that i can write at night.

That explains why I was bullied at the age of 11 for liking Digimon. South American culture is shit.

>>23516284

They seem to be DVDs made using Mentos's encodes. Not HD, but the quality is decent enough and people buys them fairly well considering how practically all street peddlers carry this series, but again, they also sell G3.5 Ponies as well.

Oh, i get it. You "hate" us because you can't be like us.

>>23516354

I decided about the only thing I was any good at was drawing so I went into Design (Visual Communication).

That said, I hate my art and I've been drawing for like, 15 years now. I've seen people who could barely scribble blitz past me into professionals before I could make a tiny leap in that direction.

Oh well, I've also seen much more horrible artists get regular work so fuck it, just got to keep at it...

you might be right. i think worried looks a little better though because feeling awkward makes feeling worried usually. i suggested the eyebrows because in your first pic, part of the pony's hair looks like an eyebrow, angled in a mad expression.

Is anybody interested in a cheerilee yahoo messenger theme?

>>23516396

Ok, sorry for slowpoking, but I just watched the last episode and want the writer killed. I raged.

>I leared that there are things we don't understand
Ok
>and sometimes you have to BEELEEVE
NO. SHUT THE FUCK UP. YOU SHOULD *RESEARCH FURTHER*.

I was so naive. I thought that Celestia, in her final (and ultimately, pointless) appearance would give a clue as to what the hell is up with Pinkie. But no, they just had to go with breaking the rules of magic of their own fictional universe. Good job. Now everything is possible. You don't want that in fiction.

Also, Twilight, a tip. You didn't have to take that leap of faith when you've shown you have THE ABILITY TO TELEPORT. LESS FANCY HATS AND MORE USEFUL MAGIC NEXT TIME.

Finally, just for lulz, explain to me why that cart is flying, please.

Ok, ok, the episode wasn't that bad, and we did get derpy. And I guess the cart can be product of an unicorn enchantment. I just didn't like the message.

Now I go to sleep. Good night, bronies.

>>23516462
Look at Peanuts. Charlie Brown looks like he has cancer. Yet that guy was successful. I mean, if you're comfortable churning out shit for the rest of your life to turn a buck like Jim Davis. Take a lesson from the creator of Two and a Half Men. That show is shit. He knows it's shit. But he says it's not about making something good, just something popular. That's where the money is.

People are dumb, but they're the ones with the money.

>>23516413
Bullshit, liking "nerd culture" will get you bullied in the North, too. Maybe anywhere, don't know about overseas.

i do that too. i hate what i write sometimes. other times though i think, hmm not bad. and i know my skill is only improved by practice practice practice. there's a writer, jay lake, who says that all you need is psychotic persistence. he wasn't published for 10 years but he just kept at it. now he's published all the time

>>23516528

THE GAME

>>23516505
I wonder what would happen if Rainbow Dash and Rainbow Dash met.


"...and that's why I love fashion. Tell me more about you, do you have a boyfriend?"

"Boy-friend? uh... no, I uhm... I like girl"

"Oh dear, that's disgusting!"

"I though you were me!"

"I'd never be someone like you!"


and then they fucked

>>23516379
i still don't see it...

>>23516528
This is a stage everybody goes through with this episode. Don't worry, it only lasts a day or so.

Also, Lauren apologized on her DA account that the message got so screwed up. It wasn't meant to be "don't think."

>>23516540
who's to say you can't alternate? do a project for cash, then do a project because you want to. rinse and repeat

>>23516646
Journalist here. I part envy you guys because of your longer deadlines, but then I remember that without getting published you're basically screwed for money on that front, and that I might have to produce constantly, but I also get paid constantly.

I wanted to be a novelist like, but the financial insecurity is too much. But it's really all I can do, so journalist it was. See? Combine the practical with the ideal and meet somewhere in the middle.

>>23516685

Alright I'm done with my soapboxy art ramblings for tonight; thanks for putting up with them.

i'm trying to be grim or depressing cuz i don't want ruin everyone else's fun, but can i get a pony version of this, preferably Twilight?

>>23516733
jay lake gets published all the time but he still has a day job. i'm resigned to this. if i could somehow have just a part time job because the writing paid enough, that would be great

>>23516528
It's obviously a dig at skeptics and scientists who are so blinded with bias that they cannot even professionally do what their status implies, rejecting results because they do match up with theirs. Perhaps it's too deep for you. Nah just shitting you. They really could have worded it a whole lot better. Only flaw with an otherwise glorious episode.

Flying cart: BECAUSE

Also, one of her big accomplishments in the art of magic is growing facial hair on baby dragons. I'm pretty sure she is not experienced enough to travel across a 60+ foot chasm on an elevated surface.

>>23516646

That's it in a nutshell, yeah.

For me, I look back six months and go 'oh god, I was that bad?' but then I hate my new stuff about a month after I've made some improvements.

Got a sketch pending that I love but I don't have the guts to work on. Right now my biggest problem's just figuring out how to finish a sketch in a way I won't hate.

Really need to try painting it properly or something... or go back to the way I was comfortable with and try learning to do that better...

I can't seem to get used to using a tablet for anything other than colouring.

And to the other guy, I have every intention of improving as best I can, I hate the idea of stagnating. Mostly right now I just want some financial stability though, even some shitty little job. I'm not picky.

Why, why? Is it frustration over not getting things right? Are you getting too caught up in details? What can I possibly do to help you guys stop that? Anything? I think the entire world is so amazing and full of people who can do anything at all, it is such a pity to see people not being happy with themselves and their own creative works.
