The Thread About Ponies, Logistics and General Weirdness (And Gilda)TV

[Minty]

Did I guess right?

 

[Wiegert]

Aside from that, a thought occurred to me today. If Princess Celestia banishes ponies to the moon, does that mean Princess Luna banishes ponies to the sun?

There was a comic which cropped up around June I think, and said comic depicted Luna banishing Celestia to the Sun. I know it's somewhere in this thread but it would take ages for me to find it.

This one's nice too. Is that a real pocket or just an illusion? Looks pretty real but I don't believe it.

The pocket is just printed on.

Eh, it's all in good fun. I don't think anyone here is seriously trying to insult anyone's favorite.

This. It's been going on for months, and I wouldn't seriously insult anyone elses favourite (unless it was Diamond Tiara or Silver Spoon, although the chances of someone considering either of those 2 their favourite are extremely low).

I give up.

Ah, do you mind telling us what it was you were trying to colour?

 

[Minty]

My head has actually impacted my keyboard about twice now. So I've got my headed supported by the mouse pad on my laptop, and I'll probably be out any moment.

Not sure how many posts I'll make before I go out, but I'm posting this now in case I drop before the next. I know I've said things about 'never having been this tired before'. I mean it this time. I'm too tired to be bothered to get up and go to my bead.
Here's hoping I don't have 'keyboard face' when I wake up.


EDIT: Aha. Lucky me. There's a pillow on my desk.

 

[Epic B]

Just an illusion. I actually like that style; there's a few more designs with a similar pocket illusion going on.

Just as I thought. It is a great illusion though. I do kind of like the style. Guess we won't have SOMEBODY wanting it to be 20% cooler.

That's a pretty interesting logic you applied there, maybe there are unknown powers that are yet to be known by canon.

Also, it looks like Pinkie was only your favourite pony for a brief stint, but now you favour "wet" Rarity instead (which I can sort of understand).

It works like this, Pinkie is the best pony among dry ponies, Rarity is the best pony among wet ponies.

Wet Pinkie might create a tremendous time/space/awesomeness fluctuation that it might brake time/space/awesomeness continuity.

So there you have it, a best pony for each occasion without violating time/space/awesomeness continuity.



(*Goes back to House MD's new episode*)

 

[Minty]

Because my face was on my keyboard as I typed, I just learned that in FF: Shift + Scroll wheel up/down = Page forward/back.



I'm not normally this tired at 2am, and I just realized it's only 11. The hell is this. Although it could be catastrophic sugar crash.


Anyway,

Owl City seems to be one of those things where I only like it if it's set to a video. No idea why, but there was a Fireflies AMV involving Toothless a long time ago and I loved it. Tried to listen to some Owl City right after that and didn't enjoy it. I mean, I didn't hate it, but it just kind of felt like it was there.

 

[Wiegert]

Rainbow Dash and Speed of Sound? Makes sense, and the resulting video is actually quite nice.

[unit-one]

And your avatar...*suspicious glare.*

What about it?

So does this mean that Vinyl is unit's favourite character, and not Octy?

Yes xD

STAND BACK EVERYONE.


I'm going to try to color something digitally, something I haven't done in half a decade.

Ooh! Sounds interesting!




EDIT: Color corrected HD episode.

 

[Tornado]

You see this Photoshop? You see what I just found going through some of my old high school resources? Yeah, that's right: Go 🤬 yourself Photoshop. I'll reteach myself how do this 🤬 if I have to, but that damn thing is getting colored even if it isn't in the coloring style that I wanted to do it in.



Because I spent four-and-a-half goddamn hours cleaning up the sketch by hand and turning it into lineart and I missed the new episode of House and my right hand feels like a piece of meat on a stick, so at this point I don't give a crap how long it takes to color it.

Good night.

 

[Akira AC]

I really did enjoy today's episode of House MD, there was everything I like about that show, just like back in the old good interesting cases rather than storyline continuity episodes. The case was interesting, and House playing on Foreman and Taub never gets old, and the ending was really good.

Is nice to see the old team back, but shame on the producers, I didn't see any Olivia Wilde in the OP credits and that cant be a good sign, at least there is Chase(no I'm not gay BTW).



Also some pony:

Some Rainbow Dash:

Some Fluttersketch:
(Damn, confound these swearing URLs)

And, it doesn't take the most powerful artists on earth to fix a minor issue, just the will of a single man:

(Sense of hate inbound!)

Making the lineart with the wrong equipment is indeed a pain in the neck, one trick I use(but take notice that It works with logos) is making the vector on Illustrator which is kind of difficult, or Corel Drawn which is by far simpler because it works beautify to make vector images, I guess that by definition it should work to make that lineart. This sounds like I'm bragging on a tool that you probably don't have access to, but if you know someone who has Corel I'm pretty sure you will be able to make that vector with the quick vectorization tool and some tweaks to make it look right, and then work over that base to make the colouring that you might want.

And I also hate Adobe PS7, the CS packages are a bit simpler but not as simpler as Corel.[/not_advertising]



(*Goes back to Frederic Chopin's Ballade No 1 in G minor*)

 

[Brando-K]

@Akira there's no way we can hate that drawing. Well except for the fact you can't drink hot chocolate with a straw, you'll burn your tongue. I'll just pretend she's drinking something cold.

Confound this new Rarity, she makes me like Rarity more and more every time I see her.

I just spent the last 2 hours making a gear-stick cover. I've found as soon as we get a sunny day I can't touch the leaver because of the heat, hopefully this helps. (It looks like a tall hat )
This is what I made

It comes off easily and when I was making it I said to my brother it looks like a plush ponies hoof. (Therefore relevant to this thread )

 

[Wiegert]

Okay, I now realise that Wisp is an awesome musician (Bagpipecore, a new genre perhaps?).

And, it doesn't take the most powerful artists on earth to fix a minor issue, just the will of a single man:

I see that you have MW3 on the brain, and the eye colour correction was definitely needed.

I'll just pretend she's drinking something cold.

I can't help but imagine that she's drinking Liquid Nitrogen after you said that



Also:

Cute, but there is a distinct lack of Cutie Marks in that drawing.

G'night.

 

[Epic B]

Well I've been waiting for more episodes to air so I can record them, but anyways, night.

 

[Akira AC]

@Akira there's no way we can hate that drawing. Well except for the fact you can't drink hot chocolate with a straw, you'll burn your tongue. I'll just pretend she's drinking something cold.

She can cool down hot drink with her magic while the liquid is being transferred through the straw.[/Long_shoot_explanation]

I see that you have MW3 on the brain, and the eye colour correction was definitely needed.

I think that probably something else snap inside my head after playing 10 hours in a row (now I have this weird need of seeing "x" in every door I look), the game is good but I think that I'll rest from shooters for a long time. It was BF3/MW3/GoW3 during the last few weeks, which is too much shooting.

And no, I'm not going into racing games either (maybe I should buy Driver:SF, I heard good things about it), so is down to Batman and some other games I might have dismissed during the last few months (I seriously regret selling the PS3, I'll probably be playing Uncharted 3 at this point, and online BF3).



I think that's it, I'm pretty tired and there isn't too much stuff to do (and no, no more shooters).

Goodnight everyone.

Wheeled chair + Desk + Hardwood floor ≠ Stable sleeping space.

I learned that when I felt the nice, soft, wood hit me in the face.


Anyway,



I really need to figure out what I was doing wrong with that mod.

You see this Photoshop? You see what I just found going through some of my old high school resources? Yeah, that's right: Go 🤬 yourself Photoshop. I'll reteach myself how do this 🤬 if I have to, but that damn thing is getting colored even if it isn't in the coloring style that I wanted to do it in.

Seriously, good luck, I know that feeling. It takes longer to learn to use it without previous experience.

 

[Azure Flare]

Good morning everypony!

 

[Minty]

There is actually a gameplay preview about halfway through.

 

[Tornado]

Mind = Blown.



Also:

*goes back to fiddling with lineart*

 

[Gravekeeper]

Good morning, all!

I've missed quite a bit of discussion; I've been feverishly playing Sonic Generations like the unrepentant Sonic fanboy I am. I even managed to score first place world ranking in the speed run for Sky Sanctuary, that's how bad I've got it. It's actually kept me from joining my friends in BF3 this past weekend.


Anyways, I--

I learned that when I felt the nice, soft, wood hit me in the face.

[Minty]

I was waiting for something like that.






EDIT:
First attempt:

So I did this forever ago, came out all jaggy, and I didn't feel like fixing it and eventually forgot it. Recent events here made me want to attempt it again.

The result:

Took forever to get that first one, though. GIMP can sometimes be a bitch to get smooth edges with.

The new one didn't take a particularly large amount of work. I just went at it with an eraser and blur tool.

EDIT:

 

[Brando-K]

I'm going to try remaking that gear cover tomorrow. I'm not happy with it. Well actually I am but I think I can do better. (Forgot to mention I had art of the dress playing while I was making it.)

I should also get some reading done tomorrow, I might catch up to the end of Allegrezza and read another chapter of Alicorn.

Well good night. I expect that picture coloured by the time I wake Toro.

 

[Tornado]

Ah. Eyes. My old nemesis. Once again we meet to do battle.



Edit:

 

[Minty]

Oh, I see what they did thar.


EDIT: I'm not sure I've seen a single Twilight cosplayer who doesn't look 300+lbs....and short. I mean 5' tall at the most while weighing 100lbs more than I do at 6'2". That or a lazily done outfit.

There are so many good cosplayers for every other character.


EDIT: Or is a....guy?

Wut?

WAAA!

Man, I wish people would realize you can animate PNGs... We'd have some high-definition animations up in this biz...

 

[unit-one]

Toronado, what are you drawing??


Placed that Ditzy picture as a wallpaper on my PC. It's sloow now, but I don't care.


EDIT: actually It's not slow. Hmmm, I can't look away...!

 

[Akira AC]

Good morning everyone.


They told me I could be anything, so I became a bunny:

(The upper bunny.)


And:

Interesting.



(*Goes back to design documentation*)

 

[unit-one]

Made some doodles while at work. We don't have tables anymore, so it was a challenge.

The big one I started just now.

Will color them sooOOOOoon.
