Title: Arena Pony Art Collaboration- Sign Ups CLOSED--EXTENDED!
Post by: aluke on November 02, 2016, 08:17:33 PM
Welcome to the Arena Pony Art Collaboration!

In short, the goal is to have as many arena members contribute a full body pony drawing to amass a big poster/art canvas. You know, just for community fun and to see how many different styles we can get into one image!

Rules and things:
-Sign ups are required, this is mainly to ensure there are no duplicate ponies being drawn, plus I can have an organized mailing list and all that fun stuff.
-There is no 'skill' level to join. This is open to all arena members who wish to participate.
-Hasbro ponies only (all gens). No OCs for this project please. You can sign up for any pony that has not already been claimed (see below)
-Traditional and Digital art are BOTH accepted. Though, if it is traditional, I ask that you provide as clear an image as possible, and if you have the programs and know-how, transparent backgrounds are immensely preferred.
-That said, yes, this is only a full body pony drawing. No backgrounds or extra details in your image.
-Signatures are great, please feel obliged to sign your beautiful art, but please refrain from adding very noticeable watermarks or links.
-I will be asking for final submissions to be emailed to me, preferably as a .PSD (merged layers are fine for digital art) or .PNG file if possible, and the larger the better.
-This is not a swap or anything, and there is no penalty for having to drop out. Life happens.
-NEW Feel free to claim multiple ponies if you think you can take on more than one. Just, don't go too overboard. Separate images or one with them interacting are both fine.
-More things to note TBD?


Sample of what I'm looking for in a final submission:

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Sign ups:
Bekuno- G1 Nightglider
Sapphire Rain- G1 Glory and G1 Moondancer
duenia- G1 Dazzleglow and G2 Silver Swirl
Mewtwofan1- G1 Twilight (pink w/ stars version)
Sochy- G1 Tux n Tails and G1 Lucky
Makaroni_the_pony- G3 Butterscotch
UrocyonFox- G4 Sunset Shimmer and G2 Princess Crystal
Shaiyeh- G1 Tuneful and G3 Minty
ChickenPotPie- G1 Starshine
Yukiru- G3 Morning Glory
BethMcBeth- G1 Applejack
MsMedley- G1 Medley and G4 Roseluck
Jocelyn- G1 Seashell
Goanna- G4 Pinkie Pie

Kikwifluff- G1 Barnacle
Annie- G1 Gingerbread
KC8114- G1 Moonstone
gummybuns- G1 Galaxy and G4 Twilight Sparkle
aluke- G2 Muse

Green text indicates who has submitted final images.

Sign ups will be open for two weeks! I think this should give everyone enough time to see this, decide if they want to join the fun. As soon as you sign up, you're free to draw. Then, I'd say the due date to have your submission in will be the end of February, so you have well over a month to work.

Sign ups close- 11:59 PM EST Monday Jan 23rd!
Submissions close- 11:59 PM EST Tuesday Feb. 28th!

Original post-
Spoiler
Just an idea, but would anyone be interested in working on a collaboration? The idea would basically be that people claim a pony, and have a month or so to draw it, and then we copy/paste them all into a huge image (maybe have someone contribute a background). Basically, just meshing everyone's art together!

It would 100% not be skill based and open to anyone who wants to join, it's all about quantity participation. :P Traditional or digital would be acceptable of course. Probably stick to Hasbro ponies only, all gens welcome, and maybe an exception to the MLPArena pony (if the original creator would allow) and maybe even our LMaP pony because they are both arena OCs rather than personal ones.

I wouldn't start it soon since there are already a lot of art things going on already, and I want to finish hosting Let's Make a Pony first, but maybe start it up around the holidays since art projects would be finished and most members would have some vacation time? Just posting this now to see if anyone would be interested before I try to organize this.

Completely forgot I posted this, I have the memory of a rock. Glad to see more interest and have such awesome talent on board. I'm aiming to set this off early next year at this rate? Let's Make a Pony is almost done, but the round that requires the most attention is just around the corner. Plus, I really don't trust myself to stay on top of hosting two community projects at once. :sheepish:

Plenty of time to think about what pony you'd want to claim at least.  :biggrin:

Thank goodness.  I thought I missed it when I saw the link you posted.   Um...do we jut say here who we want?  I'm thinking G1 Fizzy ❤ or Pretty Pop.
Title: Re: Gauging Interest- Arena Pony Art Collaboration Anyone?
Post by: aluke on December 09, 2016, 11:17:07 PM
No worries gothicsugar, you didn't miss anything. :) I'll be sending out a PM to everyone one who expressed interest when sign-ups do open so hopefully that will suffice.

Fizzy or Pretty Pop would be great choices, you don't need to confirm anything yet though, so plenty of time to decide who you would prefer.  :hug:

Will clean up the OP soon, but since LMaP is at the tail end, I wanted to get started on sign ups here!

Will cross post this to the Pony Corral in case of members who don't visit the A&C, as well as PM everyone who expressed interest previously.  :green:

Either or, though I'd say here is better so everyone can see what pony you're claiming.  :)

I'd like to sign up too! Please feel free to let me know when characters are being chosen, I'm thinking Glory and Moondancer for me?

It's first come first serve, so as soon as you claim one you're good. Both would be wonderful choices.  :)

Of course you may. Just to clarify, do you mean the original Twilight (pink with stars), or SS Twilight (purple with candle)?

Oooh this sound awesome! :D I would love to draw Tux n Tails and Lucky!

Ah, I didn't consider people claiming two ponies. That should be fine, if you want to tackle two ponies. Claimed.

Edit: Okay, everyone who expressed interest and hasn't signed up yet should have received a PM from me as a heads up (sorry Griffin, I was just mindlessly PMing the users on my list, I realized after that you probably didn't need a PM since you're a mod here). I am also a dork and realized I forgot to fill in a subject line.  :blush: I am so not professional.

For file type - any objections to an .AI file? I can convert it to something else of course once done, but figured I'd ask since you mentioned wanting it as possible and well this would let you make it whatever size you want without quality loss.

Of course not, I'm hoping we get a nice balance of traditional and digital to be honest, so much more fun that way. :D White bg will be fine if that's what you can manage, I know not everyone has immediate access to digital programs, and will do whatever clean up work I need to.  ^.^

Ok yeah, because I meant both too lol. If that's alright.

Ah, no problem. Both it is!

I'm in!!!! I'd love to claim Tuneful (may I draw Tuneful as a boy, or do you want it strictly Hasbro canon? He's always been a boy to me, but I'm fine with drawing the original ^^ )

I see no problem with switched genders as long as it's still the likeness of the toy.  :biggrin: He and Minty are yours.

Ooo this sounds like fun! Starshine for me please!

Of course, Starshine is yours.   ^.^

For file type - any objections to an .AI file? I can convert it to something else of course once done, but figured I'd ask since you mentioned wanting it as possible and well this would let you make it whatever size you want without quality loss.

Hmm, I'll have to get back to you on that. I've never used an .AI file so I'm not sure if my computer supports it. I'll let you know when I get home tonight.

I'm game! I'll take G3 Morning Glory :3

Awesome, she is yours.  :biggrin:

Sign me up for G1 Applejack please!! Mwhahahahaaa!!! :D

And so.... deadline/time frame for pony to be in by? :P

It's Illustrator if that helps. I can always convert it out to another file format I just figured I'd ask since it would give more resizing freedom lol.

Haha, I was just looking into it. I never used illustrator (which I should change, that stabilizer is so convenient) so I didn't know that was the file type. I do have it though, and through testing, I can open it up in PS as well, so no troubles sending an .AI file.  :)

This sounds like a really neat idea! Can I put a request infor Seashell? There's a second pony I may like too, but I'll wait until the sign ups are almost over to request her, since she's not as priority to me and others can have a chance to request her :)

I am waiting until everyone is done submitting who they want to draw before I choose.

If its not too much to ask could you include generation next to everyone's ponies they are choosing to draw? I know some people it has g1, g3 etc next to it but not all of them. It would be really helpful so then we can see what kind of generation representation we have.
(I totally understand if thats too much to ask, it would just be easier on me, myself)

Of course. Whenever you decide.

Me too please! I'd love to draw G2 Diamond Glow (magician) or G2 Autumn (I'll decide that later ;) )

No problem, all put you down as tentative for both until you decide.  ^.^

I got your pm and I'll go ahead and claim G1 Fizzy  and  G3 Pretty Pop since we can claim two.

Of course. They are both yours!

Oooh I love art!!! I've only drawn a pony once before, but it's worth a shot to try again :)

I bet your first pony drawing was beautiful.  ;) Barnacle is yours.


Edit: Okay, I updated the list with the generations, and unless I mistook a name to a gen, the numbers so far are- 14 G1, 1 to 2 G2, 4 G3, 2 G4.

Basically, but not surprising, G1 is the most popular. I think I've decided on what pony/ies I'd want to claim from , but like Fox, I'm just waiting until closer to the end of sign ups to pick the least represented gen.

May I participate? If I could I would like to do g1 Galaxy and G4 Twilight Sparkle, and I do traditional art mainly but I could try digital art if I can't find a decent area for the lighting

Okay, so I think I'll go with G1 TE Gingerbread. I've been wanting to draw her for a long time so I guess now is my chance :)

Yes, of course. She is yours.

May I participate? If I could I would like to do g1 Galaxy and G4 Twilight Sparkle, and I do traditional art mainly but I could try digital art if I can't find a decent area for the lighting

Hey, welcome! They are both yours. Haha, I understand the pain of getting decent lighting, but if you prefer going traditional, don't feel you need to settle with digital. :)

Can I get g2 princess crystal?

Of course, I'll update the list.


And, I think I've settled on taking Muse on my end, since G2 is still the least common.

I decided not to do a second pony because I have a valentines art project that I want to work on. I saw sign ups close today so I just wanted you to know that I'm only doing Night Glider  :)

I had to pass this time round but this is going to be amazing, I'm really looking forward to the finished compilation!

No problem, I was going to bail out on participating because I have other projects I want to focus on, but it wouldn't be as fun to host without contributing. :blush: I'm looking forward to your Nightglider.

I had to pass this time round but this is going to be amazing, I'm really looking forward to the finished compilation!

You'll be missed Griffin. But, yes, we do have an amazing line up of artists and ponies, I can't wait for all the art to roll in!

*coughs* I uh.. actually finished Night Glider already. Had a sudden burst of inspiration and wanted to try a new coloring technique ^^;

So do you want these PM'd to you? Are you okay with us posting the individual file elsewhere or wait until the collab is done?

Haha! That was quick! Sudden inspiration is the best. I'll PM you my email when I get back home for the file, but you are otherwise free to post your artwork wherever and whenever you like.  ;)

Heya, I've been MIA lately, work is slowly killing me. :P Hope everyone has been having fun with their pony art so far, I've already received two beautiful entries and can tell this is going to be amazing.

I've got the sketch for mine done, but need to find the time and motivation to really work on it. Still close to a month left!

Sorry for not replying to everyone's comments individually, between one of my coworkers going on vacation, and the Superbowl yesterday, I've had to do a lot of overtime this week, and most of my home time has been spent sleeping. -_- Got a few more entries with amazing pony art in, so much talent going into one image.  :heart: :heart:

I finished Tuneful! now to start on Minty ^w^
Can I upload to dA, or should I wait until we're all done?

Feel free to upload from now. There is no reason to keep your contribution anonymous for this project.  ^.^

Edit: Still not done my image, but thinking about the background. Wondering if it would be better to go with a landscape for our ponies to frolick in, or keep them floating in a more abstract setting. Any thoughts?

That does sound like an amazing idea. Simple and very MLP in my opinion. Today was a de-stress/rest day (and did I need it), so hopefully tomorrow I won't be a lazy butt and can work on Muse and the bg after getting my passport renewal all taken care of. :blush:

No worries Aluke! As for me I am doing fine. I have mine sketched and inked I just need to color AJ! ;) Shinji has been trying to help so I had to make him his own to color!! Bwhaaaa!!! :P

Story of my life right now, I totally understand.

The artwork I have received so far is absolutely stunning, I can say that much.  :P

Ugh, why do I always wait til last minute on these things?? TO the art table!!

Lol! I'm right there with you. You got this.


That said, I have not gotten around to the PMs yet (I was out of the house when I checked in last time, and had to run to work that night). I also have a couple PMs I still haven't opened yet (SORRY!). I still haven't worked past the sketch at this point, so I think I may have to bail on my contribution and skip on painting the meadow for something a lot simpler...I feel so bad on falling short as a host but too much work  and the absolutely crummy weather has shot my motivation.

I'm sorry you're also struggling with motivation. These winter months seem to do the same thing to me! I know I wouldn't mind if you move the submission date back a bit, if it will help!

Ugh yes, winter can be horrible. Over here we hit a new record in cloudy/sunless days this season, and that has not been helping. Now the weather can't decide between being winter or Spring. I am throwing in an extension, so feel free to take your time. ^.^

Hey Aluke let me know if you need help with a background maybe I can jump in. ;)

You are the best, thank you for offering to help out.  :frolic:


And, so yes, since I still need to send out PMs and haven't heard from a few people, I am throwing up an extension, tentative of two weeks for now? I have to work tonight and tomorrow morning, but I am off in the evening and WILL send out reminder PMs to anyone who hasn't submitted their final art then.  :biggrin:

I've been lurking while finishing mine up.  I just checked and you said no extra details.  Does that mean no shading (was curious about this) because if so, I'm done.

Oh, shading is more than welcome if you want to add it. The extra details was relating to bgs/fgs or irrelevant props like random floating flowers/hearts/symbols/etc. Simple accessories, on the other  hand, are fine (for example, I got one pony drawn wearing the hat she came with, and another who is carrying balloons). Hope that clears things up.

I haven't received art from everyone yet, so I will send PMs to those I haven't heard from, but will also see about getting a quick preview up tonight or tomorrow to showcase all the beautiful work I have so far.

Again, I am SORRY to everyone for dropping the ball.  :cry:

With a couple minutes to spare, I bring you a rough. I still need to clean up the traditional ones and do lots of resizing/shifting around, my tablet isn't accessible right now, sorry. But anyway, look at all the pretty art! I will send PMs to those I am waiting on tomorrow (I believe I have everyone who sent me a pony here, I will triple check tomorrow as well), and see if I can squeeze in a quick minute pony too.

I even double checked your email and was like "yes I already added them." Minty and Tuneful have entered the herd.

@Duenia- Two jobs seemed like such a good idea at the time, right? Did you still want to add a pony to the fray? Or do you have to unfortunately drop out for this round no repercussions, like obligations always come first)?

PMs have not been sent out yet...of course, my weekend job asked me to fill in last minute today because my coworker had a family emergency. There went my whole evening.
