(I'll hopefully have this actually done soon, I didn't want to delay the poll any further because of art

What is Let's Make a Pony?
Spoiler
The basic point of the game is to create a pony as a community through a series of polls. These polls will ask basic questions to determine our ponies physical appearance, most popular choice when the poll is closed wins that round. Since this is supposed to be a fun community game, please feel free to share your opinions and comments in this thread.

Let's see how wild our pony will be!

What's the Purpose?
No real final goal but to have fun and see what we come up with together. I will be drawing it as we go along so we will have a visual representation. If anyone wants to join along with art, a custom, or anything else creative, feel free!  ;)

About voting.
For this round, we are back to voting for one option. Though it's again two parts so don't forget to check back in a few days.

Last Round.
The crowds have spoken, and it was a clear choice that our pony is a jewel eyed, symbol covered pony!

For today's poll...
Now we're onto what makes MLP, well, MLP! Time to start putting some colour on our pony. Now, unfortunately, I can't just stick a colour wheel in front of you all and get everyone to agree on one definite hue, but we'll try to round it down the best we can. It will be a two part poll again! Part one is about determining the generic colour, part two will be more about deciding the specifics (pastel/neon/muted/etc). Feel free to add a small swatch to the thread during part one if you want to share a specific colour you have in mind (not required, but would be used for voting in round two). Part one is a four day poll. Open until Oct 8th. Part two will be up for three days Ending October 11th!

Edit 1.

Our pony is a beautiful blank canvas, aka white! But we can't stop there, most white ponies are usually have a little colour mixed in, or at least an off colour for shading purposes, so let's figure that one out. Here are some off white swatches, and requested pearly option to vote on! Reminder, we have until October 11th for this session.

And considering the blend of breeds, a perfect blank canvas.

Green! But not the mint green or I can't decide if it's blue or green, that Hasbro is known for. But a true green.

I'm voting for green as well! I'm so tired of the lack of green ponies!

I'm torn between white, yellow, green, and blue... There's so many good options :P

@True- Yes we will be voting on the eye/gem colour as well. Also, if you want to switch your vote you can. There is a remove vote option just under the poll.  ^.^

@Hannah66665- I forgot about the pearly ponies! They slipped the radar when I was doing my radar. I'll definitely add a pearly choice to the second part no matter what colour wins.

Also, looks like it could go anyway so far. I'm surprised white is popular. It is my favourite pony colour, but I kind of thought people were sick of white ponies. Haha, I guess I underestimated their beauty. I agree we need more 'green' green ponies around, and also red too!

I voted white.  I think the TAF pattern will really pop against a plain white body.

Pearly was an option in the "gimmick" poll.

Color swirl... or rainbow gradient.  :biggrin:

Color swirl... or rainbow gradient.  :biggrin:

Why not both? Gradient red-orange-yellow on the stripes, and gradient green-blue-purple on body. And the hair could be stripes of gray, from black to white, like Daring Do.

...weh, now I want to see a custom of that.

Hmm.. I'm gonna say grey. Though I'd be fine with whatever XD I just particularly like grey ponies.

Slightly unrelated, I wonder how we're going to handle the symbol. I'm not sure it's possible to line up all the nuanced options in one poll :silly:

Post by: aluke on October 04, 2016, 01:01:11 PM
@SaelaVe- The pearlized option there was in regards to the new G4 transparant ponies, this was entirely my oversight.

@Tak- Sigh. I even remembered colour swirl. I was going to mix it with a dual toned/natural horse pattern option, then figured MLPs don't have natural markings like that and scrapped it figuring it could fall under 'other' if anyone DID want it...and apparently forgot to keep colour swirl an option on it's own. At this point, gimmick has already been set, but I will  remember to jot down colour swirl in my notes for next time. Gradient was a finalist and lost out to TaF last round.

@Luxrayx- Not to give to much away, we'll be voting on a theme to start, and from there I'm really opening the floor up to everyone's creativity without me squandering the potential with my one track mind.  :lol:

Next time, I will be sure to talk with a much more informed pony person to make sure I don't forget obvious pony gimmicks. Thankfully I hae the other option to cover me in the mean time!  ^^;

With the TE and TAF, my vote went to white. I feel like with all that, a color would be overwhelming!

Oh already I think she will be so pretty as a TE TAF!! I can't wait to see the finished pony :D
I vote for green because I Looove green. Although white would be lovely as well!

I'm going with Byzantine.

If you go to http://www.colorpicker.com/color-chart/ than you will see quite a list of colors that are possible.

Other - pearly
Can we adjust  this to base colour and finish? Finish would be  matte, glitter, translucent, metallic, pearly
So we would get to chose one colour and one finish (lavender with pearly finish)

It's a great idea, but it's not going to work for this round. Translucent/glittery have already lost in the gimmick round, metallic is already covered in the shiny category, and I'm rectifying me forgetting pearly in part two. It's something to keep in mind for next time though.  :)

Sorry my lovelies. I completely forgot today was the 9th!  :dizzy: I'm a disorganized mess. Here is the updated poll. White was our winner, which is the easiest colour to go by luckily. But you know how MLPs are, they still have an off white colour/undertone, so let's decide.

I'm going to put the feedback thread up after the game is over, but I already know for next time, I need a co-host or pony expert helper to be a second voice for me. :grouphug:

I voted number 6, since light blue is a wintry color, and I'm in a wintry mood. I just hope the hair ends up wintry as well  :lookround:

lol that's funny, on my laptop screen they all look the same, but if I tilt the screen away from me and look at it from the corner of my eye, I can see the colors of the swatches!

I voted pearly, since it seems like a good way to keep the white theme but also give it a twist. :)

I'm going to skip voting this round because other than 3 of the swatches they all look white to me.. I had to use photoshop to see what color ranges they fall under x.x

Heh, yes, they are pretty hard to distinguish, I didn't want too much saturation because then it wouldn't be white! ^^; This round was primarily a necessity for the actual colours (because how many different pinks and blues are there to choose from?). For what it's worth, number 11 is just pure white.

I would happily accept!  :lol:


@Dragonflitter- Thanks for posting a list for me.

I've also edited the swatches on the front page to show what the colours look like with more saturation, hopefully that helps anyone who is just seeing a white screen. Maybe in the end, I should have avoided this part, it seems irrelevant, but I was thinking since Rarity and Celestia are slightly purple/pink respectively. If anything, pearly or matte?  :blush:

While to most people the slight color tone does not matter I can say being a pony Island member it's kind of built in that it sometimes does matter XD

Looks like pearly is winning
