A Map of G3 Ponyville. Would it be able to be done?

[Flutterfan]

Before you read on into this topic, take a short look at this:http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2013/241/3/3/map_of_ponyville___labeled___v3_2_by_aurebesh-d3kk1e9.png
This is a Map of FIM Ponyville done by Aurek-SkyClimber on Deviantart.com. His work has inspired me to dor find someone to do a G3 Ponyville map. However, there is a small problem putting the pieces together.

These two screenshots indicate that the bridge from the Celebration Castle seems to connect to both of these scenes. Is there any way to make a map if the screenshots look like this? Also, I have a MSPaint of screencaps from most of the movies if anyone wants me to upload that to some pony image site, Finally, if I posted this in the wrong subforum, please link me to the correct subforum. Many thanks.

I don't think the animators had any interest in using a consistent layout for Ponyville. You might have an easier time finding one of the 'official' maps and using that, even if it has no real connection to what's in the movies.

Also, a tip: try linking to the DB images directly at https://derpicdn.net/, since that doesn't allow easy access to comments or other images.

I think the thing to bear in mind is that it was a children's cartoon and never designed to have the scale or scope as something like an accurate map. Poetic and artistic license were very much more likely to take priority in order to craft the story than ensuring too much continuity.

I think the best idea would be to take some key elements and then build around them - what is true in one screen grab may not be in another so simply use your own artistic license and what you prefer to be accurate Good luck!

Ohhh I really would love to have a G3 Map!!! 

I have one picture of the map Hasbro made, but it doesn´t show all the places of the movies 

I used that Hasbro map to make something like a Hidden Objects game in my web site, you have to find where my ponies live lol 

I added arrows saying "Butterfly Island", "Unicornia" and "Breezie Blossom", because that map only shows one castle (Celebration Castle, maybe?)

Here it is if you want to see it haha: http://www.valerieponyrainbow.comxa.com/MAPA/PonyLandMap.htm


If you want the original picture of that Hasbro map I can upload it

I would myself, but my only tool is MS Paint and I am not good at MSPaint other than copy and pasting screens for personal projects.

Yeah. That is the map that was given out for free in Europe for select Pony products or something. You can find the same map on ponytopia
