March 31st 2018 Valentine's Minnesota Pony Meet @Bianca's !!!

[Aurora]

Badges sound awesome! Ponyqueen has made stickers with our avatars in the past, but it has been a little while! No worries, Queen, you have plenty on your plate!

If you make the pictures the right size for a 2-1/4 badgeaminit button, we can make buttons. You may want to google the right size, and thinner paper is better.
I also have badge holders, just the plastic things meant to hold a business card sized thing.
And my sister works at a school, so if you make drawings a little bigger than that, i have access to the laminator machine.

I can't art this, though! Not my circus!

[Strawberry Swirl]

LOL I meant *I* could draw them but if anyone else has the time and ability, perhaps we could split up the job!

Aurora, badges are usually either a bust drawing-

Or a full body of some sort-

With the name of the character (or person if they don't have a ponysona.......I guess not everybody does?) on it, while the image is laminated and a clip attached to fasten to a shirt or lanyard etc. So I suppose the end result will look a little something like this.

My mom has a laminator but I'm not great with scissors, so I'd be grateful if you'd do our laminating!
Or perhaps send me a pic of your badge holders and a coin next to it for size (I don't know what numberXnumber measurements look like)- I might be able to make something like that.


Kazzlelin- I can't really spontaneously plan events and also I'm scared of 2 MN furry ex friends so probably not.

[Aurora]

I really like the idea of a larger badge, something about half the size of a normal piece of paper. Maybe the artists among us could split up the work? I am happy to take care of the laminating part, but no one wants me drawing anything. Foxfire and Bianca both have mad art skills, too, and Wizzer... actually, I am starting to think I might be the non-drawer in our group! Thank goodness for my sewing machine!

How long does it take to make one full character drawing? How would we decide who draws what characters? Is this what Neon feels like when he makes a poster, because this is sort of dizzying.

Can someone art some lineart, like an adoptable? Then we color our own?
I will chat with Foxfire tomorrow and see what she thinks.

[Strawberry Swirl]

Actually, line art and coloring probably sounds a lot easier. But how will we laminate it, or will we send out the lines in PMs or something and have people send the finished product to Aurora?

[Jocelyn]

If we divide the drawings out between the artists of the group, I could volunteer to draw a few. I need to draw one for Erick, but would like to do some for a few other people as well. Here's an example of something I've done - my own ponysona

She's supposed to be covered in charcoal dust, lol.

[Aurora]

Jocelyn, your pony raises so many questions! But why is she covered in charcoal dust?

She is adorable! And your art is so cute- look at that nose! Awwww!

Sapphire, I think if we went with an adoptables style, I would take them home after the meet and bring them back to the next one. May 12th. My house, so at least I can't possibly forget them!

If we do individual artists, they can email me the pictures if they are done digitally, or do the same as the others- hand them to me, get them back at the next meet.

Rosier does the arting, too! Nim, do you draw? Kaz? It is crazy that we have so many artists in our group!

[Blackfrost]

I can draw some just need to know what folks chars look like    Also Sapphire Rain if you wish to come to Furry cons here in the state your welcome to be with me and Kazzy.   We will not let any harm come to you, I'm more then willing to be the body guard type.   I've pulled this off before folks think I can kill them cause of my size.. I'm kinda like a softy really lols..  but very protective of friends.   

Refs of folks pony chars please and we'll figure out who wants to draw who

[Aurora]

Mine is my avatar. More of the sea green than the red in her hair and such, but you can't really mess her up. If she were alive, her symbol would move like the northern lights, not in conjunction with moods or anything, just always moving. Sometimes all green, sometimes with red and white, sometimes not there at all.

[Strawberry Swirl]

LOL I don't mean it that way but thanks for the offer! Good to know I have people on my side lol <3

[rosierjay]

is it ok if i post a pic of the stuff i was gonna bring to sell here?
if no one wants to buy stuff I'm gonna dump it in an ebay listing and sell it. (desperately need my room back....)

[Aurora]

I am ok with that! Like a presale!

[scarlettkitty81]

I already have my valentines ready to go

[Aurora]

A group of us have been chatting on facebook. If you are my facebook buddy, I will gladly add you! My name is Diana Hermanek, feel free to friend me and join the madness.
If I have not added you yet, remind me!

[Aurora]

So I have watched a few talented artists now, and it doesn't actually take you that long to draw a simple pony. Could we just do all the drawing at a meet? Then I could take them and laminate them...

That’d be a job for a traditional artist I’m afraid, as my laptop doesn’t have a printer attached lol.
