Hi everyone.

I had the silliest idea and wanted to make a "Your Character Here" for a long time.

It's been a while since a silly cute cat going "pop-pop-pop" has been circulating on the internet so I got this idea of taking inspiration from it to make a popping pony for everyone asking.

Quote from https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/pop-cat

Wide-Mouthed Popping Cat, also known as Pop Cat, refers to a series of videos in which use two images of a cat named Oatmeal, one with its mouth closed, and the other photoshopped as if the cat is holding it wide open in the shape of an O. The images have been used to create videos in which the cat lip syncs various songs, similar to Baby Eats Camera memes.

It's a bit rough around the edges, but I managed to make a template so I could quickly draw your favorite pony doing this cute pop-pop-pop face.

Hello everyone, hope you are doing good.
It seems that the website http://www.mlppreservationproject.com/ is down. When I try to access it, I get a white page with only "503 Service Unavailable
No server is available to handle this request. " written on it.

Is the owner okay ? Will the website ever come back ? I'm a bit concerned.

Have a good day, take care.

Hi everyone !

I hope I didn't make you wait for too long for this new art prompt thread. ^^' I have fun making these and I already have a draft for the third installment.
Please, don't forget to post some feedback, I want to make these better !

You can have a look at the previous edition here :

1. Summer themed

This one is about gardening and harvest season. I'm sure there are many Animal Crossing, Stardew Valley and IRL gardening enthusiasts in this forum, so with the delightful summer days we're having, I figured it would be quite inspiring to make art about it.



Here are the guidelines :

- Every art is accepted !! Whether it's a traditional painting, digital drawing, a photograph or a sculpture, show us what you love making !
- Every level is accepted ! Just have fun, it's not a competition. =)
- There is no time limit, you can post your art whenever you want on this topic.
- You can make multiple pieces. The more we can look at, the better. ♥
- You drawing/picture has to include at least one of the selected ponies. You can add more characters (selected or no) or just a solo picture, everything is fine.
- The selected playset is just a fun option, you have no obligation to include it. =)
- Your drawing doesn't have to include a background if you don't want to.


Here's the selected ponies for this thread and also a bonus selected playset !

Sugarberry
Imagine tasting home grown strawberries, whether they would be fresh or in a dessert. How wonderful !

Petal Blossom
She looks like a quiet gardener and I think her coral mane looks great on her dark lilac coat. She is a pretty pony in her simplicity.

Azalea Bloom
The most beautiful gardens are home to the Breezies, because they feel more comfortable in the most peaceful and colorful places. They take care of the small lives all around them and make the world a better place.

Autumn Crisp
The end of July is certainly not at the brink of Fall, but I think she perfectly fits the theme and I perfectly picture her in a wheat field, with her blonde hair glowing under the hash summer sun, listening to cicadas, seeing how her crops are doing and picking some poppies along the way to decorate her living room.

And the selected playset is :

Bloomin' Blossoms Shop !
I imagine walking around that local store, it is quiet inside, you meet your village's friends, have a little chat with them while picking up the produce of the farms and workshops settled close to your house. You know where these come from and you know how much care has been put into each ingredient and supplies. That inspires you to cook the best dinner possible for all the friends you've invited at your home.

I hope you like these ideas. I can't wait to see what you've created from it. =)

Have a great day, take care !

Hi everyone, I hope you are doing good.

I had some time off, so I made this custom pony and made a whole imgur post explained thoroughly how I made it.

Here's the link to it -> https://imgur.com/gallery/Y9SIzY3

And here are the pictures of the final result. ^^

I hope you enjoyed. Have a nice day, take care. =)

Hi everyone ! I hope you all are doing good. ^^
Yesterday, I spent my whole afternoon drawing this very small animation. I've never done anything quite like it before, and I don't have a tablet at the moment so it was made with the mouse.
It's nothing much, I just tried to practice animate from what I've learned and observed over time. I still have some pacing issues but I guess I will get better next time. ^^

I hope you like it. It's also available on DeviantArt. ^^

Thanks a lot for reading this topic. Have a nice day !

Hi everyone !

I've made another custom recently, this is Cerulean Comet, a friend's OC. The base is a Mc Donald's Rainbow Dash figure. I've removed the nylon tail and sculpted a solid one out of wire, papier mâché and air-dry clay. I'm really happy with the result. I hope you like it too. ^^

As her symbol is a comet, it glows in the dark. That's pretty neat to look at in real life, but impossible to capture with a camera, I'm sorry. ^^'

It's far from perfect and a little bumpy at places, but I guess it's okay. I'd be happy to hear your feedback, I'd like to improve. ^^ This pony is happily spending her days at my friend's home. =)

Have a nice day !

Hi everyone.

Since I've heard of the 3D pen, I instantly fell in love with the possibilities so, a couple of years ago, I got one and even though I use it about once a year, it's still worth it. It's pretty neat to doodle some art from time to time.

I have a custom G4 Flutter pony project lying around on my desk for a few months now. I first tried to make her wings with metal wire and iridescent plastic like I've seen a Youtuber do for a custom MH doll. The problem I had faced was scale. The plastic wouldn't keep in place on the wire and it was an absolute pain to make two times a decent and similar enough frame. Anyway, lots of trouble, everything was way too small for that technique.

So I got an idea, making the frames and other details using melted plastic filament. And it worked. The result is rather wonky, but it's a first time, a proof of concept of some sorts.  Since the iridescent film is sensitive to heat, it would fuse to the filament and be kept in place. You just need to avoid accidentally melting it with the nozzle itself or it makes a tear.

There's also no risk of rust and it's pretty light. It's even resistant enough for light play. I've only stabbed the wings in place but it could be fixed with a bit of glue from the inside.

So yeah, on to the pictures.

First glance. Her mane is poorly made, I will upgrade it eventually.

Back view. It was tricky to make the tabs the same size. As you can see, the lines are rather rough and wobbly. I need to find a balance between patience, practice and sanding off the bumps properly.

Closeup on the wing. I'm not lying, it IS bumpy. But I really think we're getting somewhere with this technique so I want to share it to you.

Here's my second attempt. I used clear filament for these ones. Since Flutter Ponies in French are named "Dragonfly Ponies (Poney Libellule)", well, I made dragonfly wings for this Morning Glory. I hope you like them. ^^

I think they are a bit better. Still wobbly, but it doesn't show too much. I like to think is makes them look more "natural", but that won't stop me from refining them in the future.

As for the tutorial, it is kinda simple. All you need is a 3D pen, some filament, some iridescent plastic and a paper and pen/pencil for drawing the concept art.


I hope this gave you ideas. I want to try and make more wings. Probably using transparent filament, of even glow in the dark ! Lots is possible with a 3d-pen.

Thanks for reading, have a nice day.

Rose.

Summoning the G2 experts here lol.

Last year I bought two G2 playets, almost complete and with their box. (Very damaged, but written in French).
As I was opening them up (they're not MIB, no worries), I discovered this pretty Dainty Dove with her chapel. She is very yellowed, but I saw her pink streak in her mane and tail and it seemed to look a lot like an unfaded fading pink. I would like to make sure to display her in good conditions.

Do you have a Chapel Playset Dainty Dove ? Is her 2nd streak in her mane fading pink in your opinion ?


When in doubt, I'll just keep her somewhere dark, but I want to know, that would be neat to display her in her playset someday.
Thanks for your help, have a nice day !
