Off Topic / Valentine's day gift ideas
« on: January 25, 2014, 09:47:40 AM »
so last year on the valentines i told someone that i wanted to end our friendship because i couldn't get over how deeply i felt for him. the goofball didnt see that and just thought i hated him XD so this year we're... not exactly dating. its very complicated but we are happy with the situation. this year im making him a gift or 2.

i just finished making a small fantasy-like chest with Amaterasu (from Okami) on the side since he loves the game. i also plan to bake cookies to put in the chest but ive never baked them before and am nervous... anyway i feel like i should be giving him more but im pretty broke. is there anything i could make that kinda fits the theme of the holiday?

The Dollhouse / How Novi Stars could sell better
« on: January 24, 2014, 05:43:20 AM »
 don't get me wrong i love these little interstellar gals but they are suffering in the sales department. In my mind, the main reasons are:
  • The marketing. If you look at Novi Stars' marketing it seems to consist of a catchy music video with horrid live action and the vlogs on youtube seem to reinforce stereotypes from 90's girl toys. If you look at Monster High or even the queen of girly Barbie herself, its obvious that these stereotypes no longer really exist. Also they never showed commercials here so i don't think they advertised them well.
  • The lack of unique dolls and clothing sets. On the shelves at my local target its mainly the Cyclops doll surrounded by a bunch of orbit beaches. I know this might not be the case in America since you guys have a larger range but its a bit of a turnoff for parents and myself to see so many of the same doll on the shelf.
  • The mobility. This isn't really a problem for me but i know a lot of kids that hate this a lot. Even just adding elbow and knee joints would help.
  • The price. I know the prices have dropped in America but every doll is $25 here. And the orbit beaches which are supposed to be cheaper are actually a little more expensive.

I love these dolls and would love to see the newer ones released here but the future of the brand seems short and i doubt they will make it another year or 2. There is a small fanbase for these dolls but its simply too small. Share your thoughts on how you could improve the Novi Stars selling

Pony Corral / Pony RPG WIP
« on: January 04, 2014, 01:11:15 AM »
so im making... i guess you could consider it a tabletop RPG for me and my friends. a bit like DnD but i dont really know that much about it so it could me much more similar than i think.

AAAAAAAANYWAY back on track, its heavily story based and extremely customizable since thats just the way i like my games (ill even be drawing our pony characters in crucial story events and will hopefully hav a large collection by the end!). and the reason im posting this here is i can always use some development help since im... rather lacking in story writing. i have the ideas, but my execution is always critisized for being messy and rushed.

so now for some basic details.
RACES:
Spoiler
Earth
Pegasus
Unicorn
Sea
Flutter
Zebra

SPECIAL RACES: (can only be achieved by transformation and not starting races)
Spoiler
Alicorn
Nightmare
Crystal
Bat
Changeling

CLASSES:
physical:
Spoiler
Buckeroo (basic warrior class)
Royal Knight
Berserker
Blackbelt
Beast Master

Magic:
Spoiler
Cleric (light magic)
Chaotic (dark magic)
Paladin(light magic)
Puppetier (dark magic)
Seer (neutral)

Alternative:
Spoiler
Bard
Alchemist
Gunslinger
Ninja
Dancer

STATS:
Spoiler
Attack
Defence
Speed
Charm
Stealth
Craft
Magic

SPECIAL STATS: (based upon your deeds as a player. this can not be changed manually with Skill Points)

thats pretty much all the technical stuff right now. the map is a WIP.

Pony Corral / Help naming a pony and giving him a mark
« on: December 13, 2013, 11:07:53 PM »
ok so my friend, Kiri. i made him a pony. but the problem is he has WAY too many talents. he can play instruments, draw, play games of all kinds with ease, is funny, is extremely smart, can charm the pants off anyone without trying, and gives the best cuddles.

id say his most defining feature is definately his generousity. he will do anything to keep his friends happy and comfortable. money is not an issue as long as everyones smiling.

so with your help i wanna get him named and give him a cutie mark. please and thank you for any suggestions!

« on: December 01, 2013, 05:46:49 PM »
(im not really sure where to put this but here seemed like the closest comparison)

i have a friend who recently got into warhammer. he asked me to paint his little guy for him because he assumed im good at painting... which im ok at but not great. he was impressed by my overall job but disappointed at my detail work. iv never painted anything so small so i wasnt that great. can you guys show me some good techniques and helpful tips? please and thank you!

Customs / looking for a picture of a custom
« on: November 13, 2013, 11:01:11 AM »
a few months ago i saw a picture of a custom Design-a-pony Fluttershy and really liked the look of it which isnt like me since i usually dislike Fluttershy. one of my friends is really into her and i was hoping to find it but the thread is long lost in the sea of a search i did so i was wondering if anyone had the picture saved?

all i remember is it looked as though someone had used wallpaper or something to cover the body and painted the cutie mark

also if i posted this in the wrong place could someone please move it

Off Topic / A goodbye to you all
« on: September 02, 2013, 01:07:25 AM »
Just thought I would let you know that today will be the last time I log on; or for a while at least. This forum has become way too heavily moderated for me to be enjoying my visits. So... this might be the last time I post I guess. I would like to say that I did enjoy my time here and I do hope that I can return some day. Most of the people were very friendly and I loved checking out the customs and art.

See ya~
