Now i can't get the thought of a fully grown African American singer having sexual Intercourse with a 3-4ft tall mare.

Eyebleach. Now.

I know.

Having Kanye in your head is a tragedy.

Hey, how's it goin'! Well, all I can say is, I had a bloody good time. Heh heh, yeah bloody good ti…
You'd probably wanna hide.

Here's some mind/eye bleach

…your welcome

No, I agree with what you're saying. Perhaps I wasn't being clear. What I was saying was more inline with the mane cast, who already are developed. For those background characters, the community can, and should, flesh out a consistent and likable personality. For example, Derpy is almost entirely fan created, and the community has done a great job at giving her quirks and a personality that makes her Derpy. And once that personality is created and accepted by the community, then that's that.

That's not to say you have to stay completely within those boundaries though. Personalities should never be one-dimensional. Build upon and expand on what's established.

Any pairing works, really, as long as the writer can find a way to make it work while staying in character (which is harder or impossible to do in some cases). You can't have a pony act completely out of character just for your silly little clopfic.

I'm really just going off of what I know about ponies, which is mostly from the show. I don't read fanfics, or spend much of my time on ponies outside of this thread and perhaps the occasional Equestria Daily visit, and checking out some artwork.

I'm afraid I didn't really have much to contribute to the discussion with little actual shipping experience, I just felt like I needed to write a lot, seeing as how I've been gone for a while. It's kind of funny actually, the ending of that post was completely off-topic. Beautifully written, maybe, but largely irrelevant to the rest of the post.

TL;DR of that last post: Shipping of any kind, heterosexual or homosexual, is fine with me, as long as the writers can create a convincing relationship between the two characters that uses their established personalities, whether fanon or canon, and expands them to portray their emotions.

@Twins:

Yeah, that's what I thought you might have meant, but I wanted to point out that M/M shippings can work just as effectively as F/F shippings in the personality department. Many authors in the fandom are VERY good at building personality, or adding onto what exists.

So, while the show only gives us minimal personality to work with in everybody besides the Princess, the Mane Six, Spike, and very few others, ships are still able to be made. The main reason the discussion came about was that comic with people accepting AppleDash but turning into the KKK against CaraMac. It was showing a double-standard that I haven't really seen in the fandom, really.

As a way to get more perspective (or a joke) we thought it would be better to have a female's opinion in the matter.

And that's how Equestria was made.

@Bob

I didn’t leave, I’ve been lurking. The drama I caused was my way of having fun with you people.
I’ve been watching for quite a while.

That was a prank? Damn, I honestly thought it was serious. You rustled everyone's jimmies.

Perhaps I should have known. I always knew you to be calm and rational but on that one moment; you went completely out of character.

I've got Alfalfa Monster'd again!

Well, I'm clearly behind on the times.

And what do you know, 10 pages of quality posts that I can spend a good hour or so reading!

(ew double standards)

Actually… all this does is remind me of the ending and now I'm just depressed. :(

But aren't you a teeny bit curious on what happens next? Come on you've got to be!

IT IS THE SUMMONING RITUAL OF CTHULHU!!

RISE CTHULHU, RISE!!! YES!
NOW DESTROY ALL IN YOUR PATH!

Hey guys, what's going on in he-

For those of you hyped over the upcoming(?) Skullgirls game,

>2012

>Hating Kanye

Drpepperfan and I are gonna beat you up later.

@Pinkamina:

Cthulhu is best ancient deity of unimaginable terror and insanity.

@Gigatoast:

Saw you in TF2 a few days ago, again. I think you were with Omnitoast this time.

I think you and Pyro could get along.

Skullgirls is out. I haven't tried it yet but hearing good things about it.

Already a crossover with ponies? That was fast….Though it looks more like one of the early 1930 Disney cartoons than FiM. XD

@Ivan:

I usually watch two episodes every morning at 7 AM to 8 AM. I have digital cable, so I can watch them on TV.

It gives me time to wake up, and I can get ready during the commercials.

No.You could say I feel calmer. Peaceful really, like the eternal sleep kind.

Ahh. So heavenly. Hmmhmmhmm-hahahahahaaHA HAHAHAAAA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
ahem… yeah. O HAI Pinkamina

Nope.

It's art style was actually made by Alex Ahad, the mind behind "Scott Pilgrim."

Its style is an interesting synthesis of 1930's American cartoons and anime.

John Joseco and Slugbox (both famous pony artists) are fans of the game. You can actually some their fan art on the Skullgirls community site.

And here's some random pics to show off its style.

And sexy ninja nurse

Skullgirls is out already?

AAAAAAAH SHIT SON. I've been waiting for another fighting game to come out and street fighterXtekken was filling that gap for a while but now i can finally stop playing games I've already beaten! Thanks guys!

Now if only i could afford it…

Dude,

Its a downloadable title and only costs $15.

I spend more on apple soda, cereal and paper towels than that.

PAGE GET FOR SKULLGIRL/MLP CROSSOVER

4chan in a nutshell:

Those ponies have question mark cutie marks, you know what that reminds me of? The Riddler. Riddler ponies!

Only 15$? Wow that's cheap…

I love Batman pony crossovers.

Riddler totally would be a unicorn, it just kinda fits for him, and I dig that outfit, that's very much like his Arkham City outfit.

Does anyone know when Fighting is Magic coming out? I know that it has been in development but I do not know if it has been released yet.

Edit: Never mind from the information that I found it is still in alpha, but it still looks pretty good for an indie game.

I have no clue why I enjoy this guys style of art so much, but I do. New topic for everyone. Who is your favorite artist in this fandom, why, and what's your favorite piece by him/her?
My favorite pieces by this guy would have to be these two.

[edit]: If anyone wants to go look up anymore of his pieces, his deviantart is FoxInShadow.

My favorite artist is either Egophiliac (Moonstuck) or GlancoJusticar.

I don't really have a favorite piece from either of them, but here's something awesome they each made:

@Zarathh

That's easy. My favourite pony artist is definitely this guy going by the name LavosVsBahamut. He's seriously amazing, and I have no idea how he manages to draw that well.


Okay, but to be serious, technically I have two favourite artists, but I have no actual favourite piece from either of them.

While I don't approve of some of the stuff CrookedTrees puts up, I still enjoy the visual style of the Ask Pinkamena Diane Pie Blog. Enough for it to actually inspire my own drawing techniques back when I was still starting out with drawing ponies.

But another artist that I really want to mention is a guy going by the name of Discommunicator. He has a very simple but effective style, his drawings are very inspirational in my opinion, and he's overall my favourite pony artist at the moment.

You probably haven't even heard of him. (puts on hipster glasses)

White Diamonds LTD is my favorite indeed. Twins got me hooked to her drawings.

I have multiple of favorite pony artists, including Muumi
Because honestly, you draw some good art work and I like it!

And the guy who draws these pictures

His art style is great same with his humanizations.

sibsy. Someone needs to hire her for the show. Best OC, by far.

And actually, I consider this fanart. I don't think a lot of the art was used in the show. I think it was just for fun.

@Ric

That would be semehammer, and he's a she. I met her at a con a few weeks ago and bought some prints from her including the Pinkie version of the Human Ponyshrug:

<img src="http://img.ponibooru.org/images/0c73a2a9e61a6c40a0fb5ccb68d63b51/52345%20-%20artist%3Asemehammer%20hat%20humanized%20i_ain%27t_even_mad%20pinkiepie%20shrug%20shrugpony.jpg" height="350" / >

Her art is generic in a way, but it's still amazing. One of my favorite artists.

I also love tlm02's humanizations. He gets the expressions down pat.

Picking from actual pony art, then I'd have to say darth franny is one of my favorites along with Joey Darkmeat. But I have so many other favorites for humanizations and straight-up pony art that I simply can't embed. Three image suggested minimum and all.

Something is appealing about The Weaver's art, but I have no idea what it is.
thex-plotion

Why, yes. I do have amazing taste in fan art. Thank you for noticing.

Oh, Sketch the Changling is Dr. Stantz/Thunderlane.

@Verbs

She already works for the show. She just doesn't do the animation.
You were being sarcastic.

I actually like her OC. It's adorable. It doesn't have all those stupid contrasting colors or strange hues that 90% of OCs do.

Btw, tomorrow is her B-day.

@Pony artists

The only ones I actually know are JJ and White Diamonds (and Sibsy, but she's technically not an artist), and I'd pick White Diamonds out of them. I don't actually know what kind of stuff JJ makes other than what I've seen on here, so I stay away just to be safe.

I can't really choose a favorite from his/her (I'd like to assume he/she is a female) gallery, so I'll post this one:

One thing that's annoying about him/her though is that if I try to find her deviantart on google, I get a "White Diamond" on deviantart and a bunch of jewelry sites.

@Dan

The idea of your OC (or at least, I think) is to be some creepy, demon-alien thing. The problem I have with most OC's is that they usually have something like red manes, black hair, etc.

@Verbose

Someone needs to hire her for the show. Best OC, by far.

@Muffinator

I tried to keep the colors on my OC from clashing or being brilliantly offensive to the eye, but Wild Fire easily looks more like a pony that would appear in the show (and surprise surprise, she did).

Edit: Spot on. There's been more than a few troll fics about that fact. (PS: Bloodbath McBullet the alicorn is best pony.) I know that's not an alicorn, I just got it from the comments section of that fic.

@Favorite Artist
Easy: ponyKillerX

Guess I have a thing for shiny art.

JJ or "John Joesco" is a artist that is well know for his "Princess Molestia" Tumblr. I Tumblr has Borderline R34 on it and Molestia is seen constantly hitting on almost everypony she see's. Other than that there is this "gamer Luna" We see a lot on the Tumblr as well. But johns "Princess Molestia" Tumblr is his most tame one by far.

He posts Humanized R34 on his Daring Do Tumblr and his "Tomorrow love" Tumblr.

@Dan and Muffins

And actually, I consider this fanart. I don’t think a lot of the art was used in the show. I think it was just for fun.

If I had any question as to whether she worked on the show or not, then I wouldn't have considered it not being fanart. And no one's OC has ever been used in the show up to the season 2 finale. Yes, I am aware that she's the storyboard artist for FiM, but it can't hurt to check. I didn't make it clear that I knew.

You know. For the sake of humor.

EDIT If it's not apparent, then know that I'm distracted.

Speaking of pony artists, does anyone know the artist behind these:

I can't read the signature. I think they're fairly good, other than the odd sort of wrinkly look.

@Verbose

Yeah, I figured you were joking there, but like I said, it kinda went over my head. It was the fanart comment that threw me.

@Muffinator

mysticalpha is the artist you're looking for there.

@Muffin
I thought brown and green looks good together…because I saw orks normally have brown hair and green skin, so I thought it would be a good color scheme.

But I really wanted my OC to have a ork like twist to him, but with the pony body structure, and armor/technology that looks…well…less ugly compared to the ork technology, I love the orks really, but their technology look ghetto as all get out. But my armor's color scheme matches that of some ork armor.

@Ric and Dan

Your OC's are fine. I was talking about OC's like this (let's hope he doesn't see this post). I see combos like that everywhere.

And yes, Green and brown go well together. Don't worry about it.

Though, to be honest, I once had an OC unicorn who was a card magician who was white with a red and black mane (keeping with the card theme) so I'm not completely innocent of this either. It's funny how so many bronies drift to that color combo.

There are a lot of terrible OCs that seem to come out of that famous pony creator. Usually alicorns with the black and red scheme.

Although, most of the ponies I come up with are brown, brown, and more brown. I seem to be the only person that likes natural, earthy tones.

I also seem to be the only motherfucker that thinks earth ponies are the best race. Fucking pegasi and unicorns. What makes them so special?

continues rambling about shit-colored earth ponies

Edit: To give you an idea, my first OC for a story was a monochrome grey earth pony with a brown mane. Then there was a brown and brown earth pony, a blue and indigo pegasus (who had wings that didn't work), and a neon pink and white alicorn.

Guess which one of those is Chesty Motherfucking McThunderbeard.

Speaking of OC's why do i feel like I am the only one that made an earth pony OC?

I pulled up your OC in Photoshop Elements just to play around with it. Your profile says that opspe was the one who colored it, and he definitely did a good job. In my opinion, it looks great, the only suggestion I would have is to mute the neon-ness of the green a tad, I think it's slightly bright.

Just to compare, we have:
Before                                                                    After

Then again, maybe it's just my monitor. (Hopefully you'll excuse my spurt of audacity.)

How is it everyone suddenly likes earth ponies so much, and everyone also wonders why they're the only one?

Me, I'm happy with my bat pony thestral thing. Bat ponies are cool.

@Verbose
I hadn't realized that Lolover had given up art for medicine. A pity for us, but I hope it works out for him/her.

You mean I'm not alone.

Come over here and give me a brohoof for the best race, you son of a bitch.

@topic:
Anyone remember this little number?

I liked sensibly colored earth ponies before it was cool.

I've never actually used the pony creator, because that would require facebook. But I would probably end up creating an earth pony as well. Mainly because, yes, pegasi and unicorns are everywhere.

Example of an acceptable (by acceptable, I mean adorable) OC:

Generally, the best OC's are the one's with the simple earth tones. There might be an occasional OC that manages to pull off neon-colors fairly well, but for the most part, they don't.

If somebody else actually recognizes this, they will win all my internets.
