Title: Original box art and comics
Post by: Valkohai on February 20, 2012, 03:04:31 PM
Hi!

I think I saw one thread in the old MLP arena but I can't find one anymore. First of all let me apologize if his belongs to art forums instead of Pony Carrol. I'm not 100% sure..

 To the point;

I always loved the box art of MLP backs! And thus I thought we could share images of the backcards as well as the old MLP magazines! I have three magazines myself and I will put them up on the posts following. Please share yours and if possible, in high quality or in large size. Remember to resize the image of display but don't change the aimges original size where it is saved in so that people can Right click the image and choose Show image to get larger view.

 All that is posted is free to be used in anyones site but please, if you use the images, credit the scanner/poster. If the posted image is not scanned by you please state that so no discredits will be done and no-ones mind is upset.
 If you save the image to your computer I recomend you rename the files by their poster so you know who to credit if/when you decaid to use/show them in somewhere.

 Thank ya all!

I love backcards and G1 artwork -

However I think the detail in G1 is amazing when you compare it to newer toys...its as though each pony has been created uniquely - the one thing I dont love about G4 is the way ponies always seem to be a re colour of an earlier one...I understand why they do it but for me G1 backcards, comics, etc are actual "artwork"
Title: Re: Original box art and comics
Post by: Valkohai on February 21, 2012, 05:21:15 AM
I know what you are saying and I agree that G1 is more "art"like.. as indeed, specially, the Blind Bag G4 ponies are all recolors. I understand the pony is usually recolor but they are not having any trouble with the cards either. Star Swirl and Rainbow Flash ahd their own designs yet they printed recolors on the cards. On this matter I am disspointed in Hasbro.. and I would share G1 art but I don't have anybeside those two magazines.. Thus im bumpking the thread with what I have.. G4 cards.
 I'm hoping someone else would join us soon because soon I run out of cards as well..

I was never a huge fan of G1 artwork, but this thread's warming me to it.  :)
Anyone have any G3 or G2 art? They're my favourites.  :lovey:

thank you hathorcat.  We are in no hurry : )

Vanilla Bean - I don't have any G2 or G3 art at hand right now. I've been thinking of buying tumphets. You find some from google but I do hope fellow MLP arena friends can share high quality/large versions : )

magickminty_unicorn - thank you! Those are very lovely!

Lady Twilight's site is also really nice to look at backcards for:

Wish the images would be just a bit bigger.

Post by: hathorcat on February 21, 2012, 12:21:44 PM
I love Lady Twilights site....

@Valkohai...if you click on the images on her site the images are certainly large enough to read and appreciate I think!
Title: Re: Original box art and comics
Post by: Valkohai on February 21, 2012, 01:39:13 PM
hathorcat - oh no! I was not meant to sound disrespectful. The images are quite large to and thus very beautiful to behold. What I meant with larger scale is that I would have wished them to be enough large that you could make a clip art. To similiar style as magickminty_unicorn has her Melody. Also scanned images have better colors as nature light in photography tends to change the colors we see. But netherless, as I said already, those images on her site are just fabilious!

Sorry....Valkohai I just thought you may not have noticed that you could click on the images for bigger pics!

Have you tried Ivy's awesome site she has some nice clip art....

Thanks for bringing my attention to the Rainbow Curl Ponies, as I like how Ringlet stands out: The others all have symbols involving rainbows and stars across their whole sides, but since Ringlet's wings get in the way, her wings are painted rainbow colors, and she has a stars symbol over only her front leg!

I have a G1 Magic Painting Book somewhere.   I made scans of it a long time ago, but I don't know if the site I uploaded the images to still exists (I can't remember why I didn't upload them to photobucket), and I think I deleted the images off the family computer.   Not sure if the person I scanned them for is still around, either.   If need be I will try and scan them again to post here.   I will scrounge around to see what I can find.

For now, here is a photo I took of the cover when I first got it, and a photo of the first page, to show what the pictures inside look like (sadly, the Mountain Boys are only on the cover).

I love seeing backcards. Thanks for all the links, everyone.

Does anyone have scans of a my little pony g1 coloring book? I remember there was one I had when I was a child that'd I'd like to see again.

Post by: Valkohai on March 03, 2012, 09:21:24 AM
lets hope we get someone to share a coloring book with us. : )

I personally am hoping for more mag scans. I really miss certain mags where was walking gingerbreads.
