anyone want to take over as thread op .c.please I beg you free me from these shacklessorry for the wait for the new thread; the last few threads have died at very inconvenient times for mebetween putting together the big thread recap (which I'm not sure anyone even uses, but people still complain when I don't do one -c-) and slapping something together for an OP image, making the new thread can kind of be a time investment that can just come at the least opportune times. This one took about 2 hours to put togetherSo please help me out by doing one of three things-take over as thread OP for me-help by making an op image before the thread dies, or take over making the recap posts-be patient when the thread dies while I find time to make another -c-sorry I bit off more than I can now chew when I took over for the last OP ^:/life got a lot busier since then
Glad someone made a new one. I would’ve made it myself, but didn’t want to do that thing where all the previous threads projects are highlighted because I’m lazy.
>>40916441This.It's too helpful not to do, but it takes forever to do.
>>40916347Do we have a numget daki design?
>>40916365Wonder if there would be a way to make, making the OP's easier. Though then again not really sure how to go about that.
i want to start sewing so bad but home repairs are making it impossible. im so close... and yet so far...
>>40916365aS the self proclaimed ideaguy and complete fucking faggot I will take overt but I had been completely tapped by my dad's needs this last month flat and its kept me from even giving the thread any attention let alone noticing my bake died. I am awful at most things I do though so if someone else wants to do it instead I wont fight you for it. Even now I can barely think I have a splitting headcache but I am the one telling myself I believe in the creative mlp community so I will support it.

>>40924354Because if you don't do it then and there the thread will die before you do it. Deadlines or FOMO is great for motivation the problem is if you set them yourself it doesn't work.

>>40925202Agreed, functionally everything I've made that has been done in a reasonable amount of time has come from me shitposting, and usually by giving less care about quality I usually am able to get a little more out there and usually its better than if I was soley being serious about it.
>>40924470I tried setting a deadline and treating it like a college assignment (meaning I get it done before the due date) and it didn’t work for me. I ended up setting up plot outline, wrote/drew nothing, and then the thread archived. I still haven’t got passed the planning stage for that project over a year later. What’s strange is I have worked on and even completed somethings since then. >>40925202Yeah, this is true for me. Like, I want to say I don’t really try, but I’m honestly not sure. I don’t really know what “going all out” means for me. I do sometimes end up learning things, though. So I’m glad I do the weird things I do.

>>40928156He's being nice and giving you the benefit of the doubt. Encouragement doesn't work very well if you add in "oh and there's a fair chance that you suck and should give up LOL" on the end. And, hey, somebody probably likes that weird dragon thing, so, whatever. It's a free country.
>>40929236I'd like it if it wasn't Rainbow Dash, reminds me of something from Flight Rising.
>>40928648Kawakure; river something. I think kure means village, i don't know. When I used to name things I would just type stuff into Google Translate. I got the Kure part from Konohagakure, Naruto's village

Damn, I see custom plushies all the times at cons and stuff and I want one so badly, but I live with immediate family and I've never told them about my obsession and don't want to.

>>40934217We lost the IP counter a few days ago, maybe a week. We're back to how it was for most of moot's time.
>>40934243Oh, okay.It was useful to know if you have lot of Anons or samefaggers on a thread.Oh well...
>>40934463Moot was strictly against this kind of stuff because it encouraged meta discussion derailments instead of actual on-topic discussion. I don't know why the current moderators, who are the biggest circlejerkers and shitposters themselves, decided to do this but I guess it's because they are fags.
>>40935051bumping againtoday is one of those days where im going to be up until sunrise, i can feel iti don't mind though who needs sleep when i have a bunch of things to chip away at
>>40935345That's the spirit!
>>40935345This is something I'm really feeling these days. I hate being up all night
>>40935345ended up passing out for four hoursi was almost done so it's no big deal >>40935989you could always take pills to fix your sleep schedule i hate going to bed "early" (before 3 am) because the night is when i truly relax
>>40936364I am interested.I really want to tame my sleep and go to sleep at normal time, but almost always fail.What kind of pills?I tried melanin, but it have close to no effect...
>>40937973>MelaninOh no no no
>>40937973>I tried melanin, but it have close to no effect...How much did you take? Correct dosage is around 300 mcg = 0.3 mg. But if you just buy it at the store, they mostly sell insane doses like 3mg (10x too much) or even 10mg (30x too much). Initially I tried 3mg and it did nothing for me. Then I got some 1mg tablets and cut them into quarters (~250mcg each) and that worked much better.
>>40937999>Correct dosageYour anecdote or professional recommendation?
>>40938064Both. IIRC the initial studies used doses around 300 mcg, but the companies making the supplements just went wild with it for some reason.
>>40937999If you have too much in your blood stream, your body starts purging it, so yeah, 10mg is crazy. You want to bump your body's normal amounts up a little, not dump a bucket full in there.
>>40926262Derpy is done. Now I have to make a magnetic muffin for her.
>>40927412Thats a nice collection, thanks
>>40937975>MelaninKek, nevermind I am retarded. I mean Melatonin>>40937999Here in France, above 2mg, you need a prescription, so my pharmacist sold me the 1.9mg ones.So, I will try again with a fraction.I guess I take it like 15mins-1h before the time I want to go to sleep?

>>40941055Anon, that page is for people looking to get high on it. Almost none of that information is useful if you're just taking 25-50mg like a normal person
>>40941530just incase he got ideas. Never hurts to be educated. I've personally had hard substances ruin the lives of friends and it always starts with dumb stuff
I went to /3DCG/ and /GD/ yesterday to see look at their pinned posts. Nothing from /GD/ yet, but I did download Blender to at least play with. I figured making something simple like Rarity’s cutiemark would be easy; boy, was I wrong. I’m watch tutorials and try again.
I've been working on my game and it's coming along, the cardgame alchemy minigame has some slots to drag and drop the cards in and they combine, I wrote down some character profiles and lore for the setting and I'm trying to make a map on worldanvil. My regular programmer is still working but they're quiet, they might be burnt out, not sure. Didn't want to bother them too much. I still feel like my project is too early to really show anything and some of the systems aren't implemented yet so I don't have any cool GIFs to post.
>>40940631Swell to see someone else have that idea, can't wait to see what you're able to make,
>>40942692you're doing a similar concept too?
>>40942059I've watched a few tutorials now and one of the first things they teach is how to model doughnuts; I'm going to base them off MLP characters for the memes.
>>40943314*i'm going to color them like MLP characters for the memes
>>40938508nice fluffy mane
>>40943314>>40943320I started over
>>40942803Well I'm not actively working on it, just have a few ideas for it. Been mainly trying to improve my skillset before jumping headfirst into trying to make it.
>>40945761you want to work together?
>>40944249No progress today I’ve spent a lot time trying to get the meshes rightI’ve come close, but somethings are off
Hello pony pals! I just released my new "Spring EP:">https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLU0Ny90Ivm57sLj5efkhlftLnAfxc0XCb
>>40947794I am really listening to it all because I want to see if I don't miss something.But it's... well... it's something...
>>40947794i don't like most of these but i liked hoover dam. can i use it in a pony game mod im working on?
>>40947794i really like these. they are kinda barebones but the instruments all sound real and antique, there is a light clicking in the background too that's nice and overall it gives off a lonely or unsettling but also calming feeling.
>>40930494I like this snout a fair bit more, and the eyelashes make her face look much more alive compared to the previous pic, too.
>>40930494Damn, it's not perfect, but it's really nice!
>>40945999Wouldn't be opposed to it, but not sure with what direction you've been going about things to see if I'd be of any help,
>>40947306i've conquered the icing now i can move onto colours i think
>>40943314The age old donut!Good work Anon, I couldn't make me finish these tutorial.Don't forget to show us these po...donuts!
>>40951304I don't blame you, it's pretty grueling I'm going to take a break after I do the sprinkles and practice on some other doughnuts before I go to the ponutsi still want to do video creation and /gd/ stuff (making wallpapers and etc)
>>40950097I guess if you want to do it just put a way to contact yourself,
>>40947794I listened to organ drive (it had the picture you posted); I liked the beginning and 1:13 in particular. The entire thing reminds me of a Halloween song, Ghost of John in particular. https://youtu.be/7dlGqyX10TY?si=KysaB6YlZh6rywCuMy opinion doesn’t mean much, though. I played the flute, the clarinet, was in band (played drums) and music engineering class and never once learned how to read to sheet music.
>>40950211Add spherical sprinkleswill add the proper ones tomorrow
>>40949184Thanks, yes i didn't add the eyelashes earlier because i always prefer to finish the eyelids rig first. Sadly, Blender cycles denoiser sucks ass when trying to do animations, it's not a temporal denoiser so there is too much flicker with low samples, and my hardware is not that good for that:https://files.catbox.moe/2e4skq.webm
>>40953611I don't see why you would need cycles for this instead of eevee+a HDRI off of polyhaven
>>40953652SSS, anisotropic and other cavity nodes doesnt work well on EEVEE, also, all the assets that i've made over the years were meant to be used on cycles on the first place, so reusing them would probable need some kind of fix.
>>40953212I think i bit off more than I can chew I wanted to try music creation, /gd/ stuff, /cg3d/ stuff, and video creation the /cg3d/ stuff is taking way longer than I thought it wouldi’ll try to finish up tomorrow so i can move on
working on a new derpy testing out my new sleepy pony pattern. still got to figure out how to remove the butt wrinkels.
Today I finished another pone gun.
I FINALLY finished. Originally I was going to have the sprinkles be their eye colors, but the method I used didn't allow for it, so I compromised. I can finally move on.

Hello there!Doing a favor for anon's on /wsr/.>>>/wsr/1452685Was wondering if any of you have this image:https://desuarchive.org/_/search/image/88GX3FoWS0Jw_JHwyVTMZg/Or a larger version that I'm 99% I've seen used on /trash/.
>>40965613Posted it over there but if anyone here was wondering
>>40916341I'm looking for a song. It's from the PoV of an anon talking about the show/fandom. I remember it being kinda melancholic, and that in one line the guy asks "In 10 years will I still remember the songs?", but not much else. I've looked in my files and shit for a while but I cannot find it. I ask here since making a new thread just for this question didn't seem right.Does anyone know what song am I talking about? Please tell me if you do.Dancing RD as payment.
>>40965928Thanks!

gonna download a video editor tonight
>>40970415Fuck, this was like 4 minutes after I fell asleep. Wanted to watch this one too.
Is it worth finishing something that’s been incomplete for literal years?
>>40974889I don't know
>>40974889If you think about it often, it clearly bothers you.I'd say try to continue and finish it, but don't expect any super grand feelings of accomplishment or not even closure if you manage to finish it.I don't know your personality or history and I'm purely projecting my own feelings about unfinished projects (which there's fuckload of.)
>>40975188>>40975073Okay, I'll continue.
I was thinking of doing something for the antithology (deadline some time in June), like simple pixelart in MSpaint style (though I'd be using Asesprite most likely or Flash with antialiasing turned off) and I wanted some music to go along with it. It would be a pony catching slimes (Jellykin) in jars and fighting in a cave so something catchy, like a theme song. Anyone interested? I've tried making music before but I'm not good at it. I'd also be willing to pay for a finished version of such a song as well.

>>40983432>>40983436Started working on my PMV yesterday. Shotcut is way more complex than both Imovie and Windows Movie Maker, but I'm getting the hang of it. I rewatched some of my old non-pony stuff yesterday--it was pretty bad. But now I know I can easily top it.

>>40989220Very cute Colgate spotted. Anyone know the artist?I wish I had more to show in these past couple of months on my game, but it's been a lot of boring technical shit. Villages are now randomly assembled from pre-defined acres, but there's this extra little layer of randomization I use, where the appearance and colors of an object in one village will differ from another. I know it's subtle, but this means even if two village's acres somehow get miraculously strewn together in the same order as each other, they will still be 'technically' unique. Every copy is personalized.

First time trying to carve a pony (or anything actually) from wood. Spend 2 hours to cut a huge wooden brick into smaller bricks. Enjoying the process so far, very relaxing.
>>40989372Almost done now. I just need to figure out how to end it and add transition. I got a little ambitious towards the end.
>>40970415https://cytu {period} be/r/ponyplushplaceI'm back from staring at the sun. working on small trixie more.>>40972039rip
>>40992244And I’m finished. I somehow managed to make the entire video a few seconds ahead of the music, so it’s not a synced as it used to be. On top of that, I wasn’t able to add transitions to entire thing, only some clips and ended up scrapping that idea altogether. I know I shouldn’t beat myself up too hard because this is my first time editing a video in literal years and using software that I’m unfamiliar with, but I’m still disappointed in myself. I’ll reupload it when I make my proper YouTube channel.https://youtu.be/PDeCMHMcAsY?si=IQepxqoqW4tKANIH
>>40991855at least happy to note an absence of blood in the shavings
>>40991855Not what I was hoping for, but better than nothing. And I don't think I could do any better now. Need to do a bigger next time, it's too hard to work on a small one. The opposite side looks even worse.
>>40994095I like it! looking forward to see more.
>>40994095I love itfirst attempts are always fun to look back to, if you keep going
>>40985740Cute Bonnie! Spitfire is looking nice, too.
Second plush I've done finished
>>40994095Nice, and it's already looking better than AJ's attempt.
Copper pony coin I made. Didn't actually make the model, but I made it copper. Mainly as practice for doing bigger stuff but I still enjoy how it came out.
https://files.catbox.moe/3pqg2s.webm
>>40996045bits are real!I like this simple design instead of a celestia coin or whatever
>>40996045Cute pony penny!>>40994899Hand embroided eyes?
>>40916341Is there some kind of open source cut pattern for making these? I love making things from fabric but i always struggled a lot with 3D shapes.
>>40996099I like the simple design too, but I'll admit I've got a soft spot for the celestia design. I think they'd work well with simple copper and more complex silver and gold onesI plan to make a 24k gold one to truly make a bit. I was going to wait to get better at mirror finishes, but honestly I like the weathered look for a coin.
>>40994899CUTE!
>>40994177>>40994451>>40995430Thank you
>>40994899Cute smol poner.
>>40996045>>40996344The simple look is perfect for a smaller coin imo.
>>40992336https://cytu{period}be/r/ponyplushplaceI'm working on her mane as long as I don't get wasted.
>>40996319Nah machine embroidery, its a paid pattern
What should I do do if my plush pattern markings drawn to fabric doesn't align? I'm having this problem in multiple parts. For example I've marked, cut and sewn leg 'tube' and trying to sew round bottom 'hoof' part into it, but the circumference of it seems to be too large, even though the leg tube is sewn exactly according to the markings. Is this normal and regular stuff that just happens all the time to experienced plushmakers and just needs to be compensated somehow? The patterns itself are supposed to be from very good maker.
>>40999605Double and triple check all your measurements?
>>40999901There was no measuring, just tracing the pattern onto the fabric and add little bit for seam allowance. Also is the 'minky' or whatever the fabric is called people usually make plushes really stretchy? The knitted fabric mostly available here barely stretches at all when filling and results in very peculiar, unpony shapes.
>>41000063>knitted fabricThat might be your issue. Minky is mildly stretchy, so combined with deliberate room for stuffing to bulge outwards it could cause some issues.But I've only made one plush so I'm not exactly sure.
>>41000066I thought minky was knitted fabric, but guess there's differences too. Finding fabric that works has been hardest part of this whole process because there's really little info how different types of stuff works on plushes.
>>40999605sometimes you have to force things a bit but the best thing to prevent the pattern from drifting is PINS and lots of them, feel free to message me at vinyl@horsefucker.org and I can try to get you some more assistance
How scared of copyright do I have to be for my shitty little porn game
>>41004908>pornYou don't need to be scared at all, because it's a parody.Hasbro is not so retarded to claim that a porn game can be confused with the official materials.
>>41004926Glad to hear it. I hope my game can for for people what the show does for me (warm heart, hard dick)
>>40985740You live!
>>41004908Be more concerned with trade mark and trade dress.
>>41006896Could you elaborate?
>>41007267iirc the fighting is magic game got nuked from orbit because of trademark first and foremost. trade marks and trade dress are defend or die terms on the rights holder.
>>40996045How much would it be worth?
>>41004926Doesn't the Pokemon company nuke fan porn, though? They nuked the fabled Pikachu and Lapras work of graphic literature.
>>40940703i am thoroughly convinced you fucking jinxed me, fuck you.
>>41009763Can't jinx somebody who has backups. Did you have backups?
>>41008206In USD? ~7 cents or ~.9 cents depending on how you look at it. I'd like to think the value of copper coins would be higher in Equestria though
>>41009321Nintendo is just retarded and they actually violate the law with their troll suits.The latest scandal with Palworld showed that clearly - they almost tried to sue the company for the game which has no connection to Pokemon.
>>41009968>backupsSelf-hosted version control system is the best.Just install Gitea on Raspberry Pi and you are protected against accidents.https://about.gitea.com/
>>41010983That protects against accidental deletion, but offsite backups are the only defense against your hard drive dying, or a fire destroying your machine, or the police coming and seizing all your stuff because they got a tip that you (or someone nearby) are a terrorist/pedo/spy/whatever, or any number of other things that could destroy or otherwise deprive you of all your data, vcs included. Seriously, make backups, ponyfriends.

Reposting the results of a plush sewing workshop we had at the euro meetup.
>>41022898now that's what you call a circlejerkwas the meetup fun?
>>41022898I could send ya the file for this ear pattern I made if you want it
>>41022898Why is one headless?
>>41025075It's the Headless Horse!
>>41022919>was the meetup fun?very
I added hair and fixed a frame with a double step, credit
credit to SilverVax for helping with the back walk cycle and I tried to add more life to the back leg lift, let me know how I did. Also I want to add more hip sway back and forth but I don't know if it will add anything, tell me what you think
The above comment was actually intended for this one
>>41025198Hairs move too much, remind me of that "high framerate" joke Mario gif.>>41025199This one is perfect>>41025201This one definitively need move hips sway, even if it's just implied by rotating the tail from side to side.
Got a question for you anons. If making MLP video games where would it be good to post it and how do the whole process so Hasbro don't fuck you wit dmca or lawsuit? I asking couse i was thinking about trying to make one and i see here few gamedews.
>>41025198there is a frame wich the posy breaks the arc of movement
>>41026008Avoid trademarks, avoid trade dress. Beyond that they don't seem to care too much.
nta that's worried about copyright or whatever but I'm starting to mess around with the Gameloft models from the leak (or was it a decompilation?) and I'm wondering how careful I should be about posting stuff with them anywhere. Like should I only post videos I make with them anonymously? Or would they even care if I put it up on my YouTube or whatever. Just a little worried since they're very obviously leaked assets
>>41027876Yeah I'd go anonymous, using leaked assets is just asking for it.
>>40966167Is it the Photograph cover in BGM's PTS 4?https://youtu.be/44IBFHPNolY?t=346
>>41026592can you be more specific?
when are we gonna make fighting is magic 2
>>41026592here's the spritesheet
>>41026592>>41025226I tried making the side view hair move less and fix the leg, what do you think now?Also I appreciate the critique
>>40916341do any of you anons remember the vinyl scratch tapes? a fanfic that was turned into a audio series: https://youtu.be/_S6CDAtA32Q?si=LPOrb_HN38JfZOalthey didn't do the whole fanfic and stopped hereI bring this is up because realistically what would it take to at least to try and continue where they left off? Like cost wise of hiring VAs
>>41029570Looks like the left back leg has lot less frames than smooth right back leg, or any other leg for that matter.
>>41029069>we
>>41029069I’d rather a VN desu
>>41027823Thanks for advice anon.
>>41030380Well i starting doing visual novel. If it work out i gonna post progress here.
>>40985740every time i see this i want to commission you so bad.
>>41030872what's it about?
>>41015717https://cytu{period}be/r/ponyplushplacePonk is done! I'm working on some Anons before the next project.
>>41028683Yes, it's those lyrics exactly. But I distinctly recall a male singing it.
>>41029570now the front legs "stops" in mid air but its an improvement from before, because the movement sequence follows
>>41029570why re-invent the wheel tho?
>>41032329Dating Trixie. <|^:)It my first time with making game so we would see how it turn out.
>>41033032salvation bump
>>41022898Decided to also magnetize my donkey eared faglet>>41023488That would be cool, I still have the material for another filly left that I plan to make soon.
>>41034039https://files.catbox.moe/6pisi2.pesWhat file format do you want the ear pattern in? I use it in my 4x4 embroidery area!
>>41034272Oh right, for the ear pattern you need to put 2 pieces of fabric minky sides inside against each other in the hoop, once the embroidery program has sewn the pattern onto the fabrics you cut them out then fold them inside out to make the ear
>>41034274Oh, so you actually need to use an embroidery machine for them? Yeah, I don't have that sadly. I just have a needle and some thread, meaning the filly will be handsewn just like the first one was
>>41034292That is how I do it yeah, cant instruct too well otherwise. The machine I have is an brother se630 from Facebook marketplace for 200 usd
>>41034335Alright, no worries. I'll just figure something out myself for the ears, shouldn't be difficult
>>41033032Seems like a nice and simple idea to start with. I always get overly ambitious and end up doing nothing.
>>41019482that's a big pinkie pie
>>41032465Then it's probably Solidarity as the other anon said? I can't think of anything else similar.https://youtu.be/rShiDT-Pp_A?t=236
>>40996045Made another one, this time a lot bigger. Came out better I think, but it has some issues though I’m pretty sure I know how to fix them.Feel like I’m improving and hopefully my next project should be a bit more impressive.
>>41035503
>>41032710nta but generally its both fun to go about making something, learn, and have something with a distinct visual identity that have different restraints compared to using that base.

can i ask for advice on how to draw pone better
>>41058640Ah yeah, I've been meaning to get to that. I'll try to finish the current update this week and post it next weekend.
Are there any free/cheap animation software that allow puppets to be used?
Pipe number two though turned out considerably more usable though. Best fit tenon I’ve done yet; I think I’ll need to start doing a metal band on all the stems from now on.
>>41061377Several, even Blender can do it
>>41061377https://www.deviantart.com/age3rcm/art/Opentoonz-MLP-FIM-Puppet-784939579
>>41061795nta, but is blender harder than sfm
>>41062746YesSFM is designed with user friendliness in mindThey didn't to a particularly good job at it but still
>>41062746>>41063197hell no, in sfm you spend more time fighting the engine than doing stuff, if you spend a good few days learning blender it's smooth sailing
>>41059644You should probably ask /bale/. Their main thing is drawn art improvement

>>41049435>>41052477>>41058812https://files.catbox.moe/2svqop.mp4Sketch is done. Now to do the line art. I added the sounds early to get an idea of what happens where. Probably the last update I add till it's done.
>>41064520Kek, I shouldn't laughed as hard as I did with pony on the right becoming a ball,
>>41064520Lookin' smooth. Really interested to see where's this going.
>>41064701Thanks! This is pretty much all there is in terms of content. I've never done 2D animation before, so I'm just kinda trying something simple first. I wanted to make it a little more expressive, but doing so with just circles (and in OpenToonz, new to it) is a pain in the ass.It'll definitely look better once I actually get the lines in, heh.

The body looks finally okay-ish but that sad excuse of butt doesn't even pass the pen test.
>>41067267Looking great, she looks like she is going to be very cuddlable. Love the white hoofsies. Keep it up anon.Also, loving the old 328 singer.
Has anypony here made sculptures before? Like from monster clay, modeling clay, oven bake/air dry, regular clay, etc. I kinda want to get into making figurines and sculptures and could use some advice and someone to talk to about it.
>>41068336I've done stuff with super sculpeyGet some aluminum foil, armature wire from a hardware store, and this set of tools https://www.amazon.com/SE-DD312-12-Piece-Stainless-Carvers/dp/B000SVRSRY/Bend the wire into a rough skeleton shape to use as a base, ball up foil as a space filler for any spots that are going to be thick, and don't apply a piece of clay thicker than your pinkie finger or else it might crack during baking. Doing it in sections and layers is fine, the clay can be cooked repeatedly as long as you're letting it cool before handling it since the high temperatures make it squishable.This guy is an actual wizard if you want some examples of how to do everything right https://www.youtube.com/@Shuxer59
>>41068336Hey there! I made a tutorial on armature frames a while ago, I think it's a good start: https://u.smutty.horse/mixzdnsbrnh.pdfI wouldn't mind messing with airdry or regular clay, both of those involve water and it's very messy to work with. I strongly suggest oven baked / polymer clays, especially Super Sculpey medium blend if you want to get artsy or just being a filthy casual (I have a lot of experience with Sculpey). Cernit Doll and Fimo clays are also good choices, they are less brittle than Sculpey but a little harder to work with. Monster clay is more like a wax, can be shaped while it's hot and never solidifies completely, it's good for mold making and to exercise sculpting.The carver set suggested by >>41068939 is a very good advice, these are very handy to smooth out surfaces and to create delicate details.
>>41059653hey OP do you offer or plan to offer some way to download a copy of the world?I'm interested in doing a 3d visualization of at least parts of itI can figure out the format from the code so that's no issue
>>41066830Pinkie butt makes me hard
I made an albume. I hope everypony enjoys: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLU0Ny90Ivm57sLj5efkhlftLnAfxc0XCb
>>41067413Thanks, it's machine inherited from my grandma and feels sturdy enough to withstand a nuclear exchange. The eyes came out bit better than I was expecting but the satin stitch stretched bit too much here and there to be completely happy with it. It's my first time ever doing stuff like this so maybe I should give myself some slack.Now I just need to position mouth and nostrils and I'm good to go.
>>41069198The full map files are huge (>100 GB) and full of private information like teleporter network names or locations of people's hidden builds. But I could maybe add a way to download partial map data for chunks near your character - would that work? What exactly are you trying to visualize?
>>41044043nice! I love your art style
>>41070282Very cool anon!
made a pinkie pie headband for when you're partying really hard. hand embroidered the cutie mark. accidentally cut into the fabric so i had to patch it back up as you can see. first attempt on the embroidery and overall a sewing noob.

>>41082984Just non pone productivity. Car shit needs doing.
>>41073626Doesn't your sewing machine have distance marks on the metal board underneath the needle? That edge stitch just really struck me.
>>41059653OP, I think the server crashed again. Right after I used advanced technique called "planting crystals really quick".
>>41083553Looking into this now
>>41083553>>41083587Server is back up. However, access to old dungeons (created prior to the recent update) is disabled for now due to a bug. I screwed up the dungeon file format when adding crystal formations as loot, and now generating new chunks in old dungeons will crash the server. I will try writing a script to upgrade old dungeon files to the new format, but I'm a bit busy today, so it might not be done until later in the week.
>>41083609Thank you.
>>41083135yeah but the fabric was bunching up a lot so i had to jimmy things to not get it stuck. i think the foot pressure is too high. also i just realized that i could have moved the needle to the sides inside the foot. learning moment.
>>41084094All part of the fun of learning the craft and your machine. I got tweaking on an old cast iron machine I found in the bins. Something is certainly wrong.

OP here, just an update in case the thread dies early (which it looks like it probably won't, thanks for keeping it bumped!)At this point I think I was just busy and flustered and frustrated and being a little bit of a drama queen when I wrote this >>40916365 lolI've gotten a much better hold on irl stuff and pony projects now, I don't think I'll have trouble carrying on OP stuff for nowI'll try to prepare in advance for the new thread. If the thread dies early just give me a day or twoalso let me know if there's anything I should change, anything I've forgotten to add to the resource bin, or any feedback for stuff in generalone thing I'm trying to figure out is, what is the point of the thread recap posts? (these >>40916344 >>40916347)I'm not going to can them, of course, but I'd like to hear what you guys think is worthy of being mentioned there or not. Do you look through them at all, or use them for anything? is there fluff that gets annoying and isn't worth including? or do you think it might be missing some stuff? should I include more discussion that happened in the last thread? or just keep it to content and updates about it?eh it's honestly probably fine the way it is, just feels like a very imprecise thing when I'm putting it together lol
>>41085268I think the little recap pic one or two threads ago was nice touch, but that sadly excludes audio and game projects.
>>41051768I finished my second rarity.
>>41086520Nice work Anon
>>41086520https://cytu{period}be/r/ponyplushplaceStarting work on best pony.>>41086698thanks
>>41086520Looks great
Forgive me flutterbros, I realized it too late.>backwards cutie mark>>41086520That's one gorgeous rarity with beautiful hair.
>>41086520She looks amazing but those gaps in her mane where it connects to the head would drive me insane.
Have any of you plushmancers tried adding weight into your poners? I'm playing around stuffing my first, about 70cm long lying horse. For shits and giggles stuck 3.2kg bar of lead into her barrel and holy shit I love the feeling of heft it gave to her.
>>41085268I use it to update the archive. Which uhh i haven't done in a long while and should really get to tonight probably but it's nice to keep track of all the happenings. Also a nice indicator of how busy the thread has been. Also sometimes i miss things from a thread and find out about it from the recaps, and anyone dropping by can also easily see what we've been working on too
>>41086520Im gonna buy one when commissions are open (and I save up because damn expensive but you 100% deserve it).>>41087918FLUTTERSHY NOOO SHE'S DEAD>>41088248lol. I feel like they would need to be fixed in place and also removable for washing so lead doesn't get on everything.
>>41088248Anon, if you stuck a lead bar into your pocket, sticking your dick in that will make you retarded.
>>41088961studies show that the fluoride in the water (in the US) has about the same effect on IQ during brain development.
>>41088961>>41088703Don't eat the lead, idiot, it's not magic.
>>41089706If you wash it in a washing machine it's going to spread lead everywhere...>>41088961>A real use for butt pocketsI-It's for the weighting I swear!
>>41089819Again, lead is not fucking magic, it doesn't go anywhere unless you do a stupid and either let it contact certain chemicals (chiefly acids, which is what caused the retardification and downfall of Roman aristocracy), or physically powderize it (which is the issue with lead additives to paint and petrol) - which a plushie and its stuffing can't do. Also, if you try to wash a lead bar in a washing machine, you're going to have problems that are completely unrelated to the toxicity.
>>41089861You're right about putting something weighted in a washing machine lol.Wikipedia says>Concentrated alkalis will dissolve lead and form plumbites.Soap and especially laundry soap is alkaline.
>>41089867>[don't] let it contact certain chemicalsCapische?>concentrated alkalis will dissolve lead>soap is alkalineYou do not understand what "alkali" is and what "concentrated" implies."Concentrated alkalis" will happily dissolve your flesh, and absolutely zero chemicals found in a common household qualify as alkali, much less concentrated ones. The best you're getting is the mildly alkaline REACTION of baking soda.
>>41089883So I can rub lead on my penis without anything bad happening?
>>41089897Potentially yes, but it won't be a pleasant experience and you still shouldn't do it in case your dick is a certain chemical.
>>41089883We're getting in the weeds. Let's agree all pony plushies should have a pocket for weighting purposes, so the weight can be taken out for washing.
>>41089906>>41089706>>41089861This anon is suffering from lead poisoning. >>41088961>>41089897Lead is soft enough to absorb into your skin. your penis skin very absorbent and sweat increases absorption. Avoid direct skin contact with lead.
>>41089925>lead is magic and you're lead poisoned if you don't think it's magic!!
>>41089944Dubs wasted.Go rub lead on your skin some more.
>>41088248Waifu will survive the nukes
>>41089861>if you try to wash a lead bar in a washing machinePic related.>>41088703>>41089861>>41089819Don't worry, the bar is wrapped in soft cloth to prevent punctures to the thick layer of cling wrap and tape. It's very well protected, hermetically sealed and stuffed between the fillings. Only thing I think could shake it loose is rapid back and forth movement, but as my plush don't have pocket I don't think it's going to be a problem. Besides if there'd be a pocket, my dick would collide against her hard core with each thrust and that doesn't sound fun.>>41089951Too bad it's just core and not lining. If anything she would make great kinetic projectile like pegasus she is.
>>41084127>>41085138looks fine to me. SEND IT!
>>41085268Yeah, the recap posts are cool because it’s a nice summary of the previous thread and highlights all the work done.
>>41088248Anon why do you even have a 3.2kg bar of lead to begin with?
>>41090465It was stock for stuff you'd do at /k/reate. For casting slugs and such. That bar will stay there, she's like one of those heavy 'tism blankets but in pony form.
>tfw you want to start animating fight choreography so you try doing a simple stomp animation>tfw it takes you 8 hours from start to finishfuck, how did I do though? i'm quite happy with how this turned out with limited blender knowledge
>>41091540Looks great! I don't know how I would improve it. It looks like she's got enough weight and momentum and the little setup is fun.
>want to get back into drawing and become an artist that meaningfully contributes to pony>constantly put off by the thought that I will always see the mistakes in what I make, thus not liking it, and never be satisfied because it doesn't compare to the quality goal I aspire to and compare myself to, so I lose any motivation to even start because I don't think its something people would enjoy seeing>so weekends become just browsing and scrolling vs actually creating anything for fear of regretting time wasted on a finished product I find unacceptable to myself and others i want to be a good artist forHow do you even traverse such an obstacle...
>>41092593Stop comparing yourself to others. And stop having too high standards - "everything must be perfect OR ELSE" is nonsense, likely instilled into you by shitty teachers/parents years ago.You cannot improve without failing and learning from failure, period.
>>41092597but that thought of failure is exactly what demotivates me - that i wont be able to make something that is as good as I want it to be. That i would be stuck settling for "good enough".
>>41092603Again, you cannot make something that is as good as you want without first making something that isn't. A lot of somethings. It's impossible to avoid having to practice and fail on the road to getting good.It sounds to me you're not being demotivated by failure, you're being demotivated by laziness - wanting to have something without any effort or struggle, and giving up when any effort or struggle appears.
>>41092593>a finished product I find unacceptable to myself and others i want to be a good artist for"The master failed more times than the apprentice tried."Other artists don't post their early shit, and don't post the recent shit either. Any "talented" artists had folders filled with pics that they gave up half-way in because it was turning bad, they just never post those so you only see the good ones.Go make a fuckton of unacceptable finished products, you fucking faggot.And then do like every one else and only posts the few ones that turned out to be decent. That's the trick.
Shy has been assembled. It took some time but I'm close to being happy with my pattern.>>41088248You're gonna need a forklift to haul your lifesized lead filled waifu around. God... she could crush you.
>>41092593I was going to say "try different kinds of content creation until you find something you're naturally good at", because that's what really worked for me, but if you're stuck at the "want to do X" stage without ever actually trying, then I think you're just being lazy. You miss 100% the shots you don't take.Also, it should be fun to make stuff. The process can be painful (more for certain kinds of content), but ultimately the only way to not burn out quickly is to have (You)rself enjoying what you do, rather than throwing a pity party for not being good enough.
>>41092593You're just feeling the gap. See >>40928099
>>41092704>something you're naturally good at", because that's what really worked for meYou might have naturally good "taste" or whatever you wanna call it, but nobody is never good at things without practice. There's no way around it.>>41092593I have had problems doing or beginning stuff where I'm not "perfect" from start for my whole life. Apparently it's how my brain is wired and I'm trying to find ways around it but mostly it's just powering through. Which is fucking hard.>>41092655My waifu is perfectly slim with her 4kg (8.8lbs) heft, thank you very much.
>>41092593I have some advice that can either make things better or even worse. But if you are constantly experiencing this fear, try taking antidepressants. I had the same problem for a while, so I took sertraline for six months. And those six months were the most productive time I've ever had. Now I'm not doing anything again, but at least I got some skills.
>>41092938>antidepressantsSorry for continuing with this off-topic but what kind of medicine you took to have that effect?
>>41092950Sertraline 50-100mg/day
>>41092704Moreso about having artistic experience and knowing I have the ability to draw things, because I have before, but then seeing the end result of my hours of work and it resulting in me not being as capable as I thought I was. And then this happening over and over.It's less painful to just know the skill I have/had versus trying to start something just end up showing and having to accept that I'm not as good, skilled, or valuable as I thought I was.
>>41092996I don't believe medication should ever be used for anything aside from legitimate medical issues you would otherwise die from, or things that can literally only be achieved or treated through medicating. Personal/emotional issues that aren't a product of actual injury or disease or something should be dealt with, not casually medicated just for your own convenience.
>>41092938Head meds and happy pills are stupid. Fix your diet. Plenty of saturated fat and do light exercise like walking.
Always had trouble with walk cycles, out of all my attempts to make a rig walk, this is by far the most successful.But I'm still not happy with it; shit looks off for some reason?
>>41093843Also, does anyone know how to copy/paste keyframes but with an offset? not an offset in time, mind you- but an offset in 3d position.As effectively I've keyframed the same movement 3x for each leg but just in different positions in my scene.Feels like i'm making things harder for myself here
>>41093499>>41093514I agree, especially with exercise. But that shit doesn't work like a happy pill, and if you're really suffering, it's better to see a doctor who can write a prescription. They are (mostly) not stupid and know when you need meds. And under medication you can actually start doing the right things, and you don't want to drink it forever, they can literally cause a stroke, and sometimes they not work at all. I'm just saying that meds have helped me a lot, it's been a year now since I stopped, and I'm living much better than I was before, simply because I was doing right shit when I was using them.What a fucking blogpost
>>41093948Doctors are retards who don't know anything about medicine and push pills because they get kickbacks. Stop acting like they have medical knowledge or contribute to curing diseases. They are paid to treat symptoms, nothing more.Maybe they help some people. The fact is the vast majority of pill users are worse off than if they didn't have pills. "chemical imbalances" in the brain are fixed with diet and exercise, not pills. It's why doctors sell you pills instead of telling you to eat meat, get sunlight, and go for walks. It's why they give fat people pills instead of telling them to stop stuffing their face. Also, your brain is constantly trying to rebalance its chemicals. Any long term pill usage will destroy your brain because now it's trying to compensate for nutritional deficiency and some weird drug that it has never seen before.>>41093843Very nice animation anon. I'm a dummy, but aren't you supposed to keyframe animation and tie it to the model, then keyframe the model's movement separately? I think you're not using tools that are available to you, but I'm also not a 3d animator so idk.
>>41093988>aren't you supposed to keyframe animation and tie it to the model, then keyframe the model's movement separately?Kinda, to attach an animation to a model, you use a rig or armature. which is comprised of bones.You can move the armature which will move the model then animate the bones separately. Which will do what I think you're suggesting- But I have Inverse Kinematics attached to the armature, meaning the hoof's will slide if i move the armature and it's kind of the whole point of having IK on a rig so that bones will stay where you put them instead of sliding around.But having said that, think i've got an idea.Next i'll try animating the bones first then moving the armature after->pic related is bones still having the correct movement after rotating the armature, which is good
I've been using my free time to make a model of Misty in the highest quality possible.My goal is to create high quality renders of Misty, just like we had of the mane5 when the next generation movie came out.The model is made in Autodesk Maya and I am using xGen to make its mane and fur. It's not finished yet, but I hope to finish it before the end of the month.
>>41094360>I hope to finish it before the end of the month>there are 11 days left of the monthVery nice, that's a very fuzzy looking Misery you have there.will it also be fully rigged as well?
>>41094538Yup. Fully rigged and ready for any SFW animation an expression.And that screen it's like one week old... Right now, there's just some details on the rig and controls.
/r/ a snooty, holier-than-thou pony telling another pony - who is using a crutch for its healing broken leg - that doctors are stupid and crutches are stupid and she should just go out for a trot and eat grass.>>41093988Not everywhere is USA, cretin, and some illnesses - including invisible mental ones - need assistance before your "teehee just diet and exercise uwu" can be done at all. Endogenous depression is curable with a (single, about six months) drug course and the alternative is slow death by apathy, and genetic disorders like bipolar require lifelong adjustment to not be a smarmy, retarded asshole like yourself, so take your fucking pills if you're BPD or a schizo.But yes, in USA most doctors are for-profit retards. Educate yourself on the treatments, and if he prescribes any shit like xanax ("anxiety" is bogus) or HRT, drop him instantly and seek a different doctor.
>>41094665I used to believe most everything is cured by good eating and excercise. I changed my diet to more fat-based and less carb one, started exercising and lost all my overweight. But about year later got crippling depression, apparently caused by undiagnosed adhd or something similar. Sunlight and good food doesn't do jack shit if the real cause is somewhere else.
>>41094360>>41094634I loathe Misty, but good luck.
>>41093860for simple walking animations, it's easier to make the pony walk in place and then move the body's root to make them move, though your model doesn't seem to have a root, you can put a bone under the model and parent the iks and the parent bone of your armature (usualy around the flank), it'd work for what you're doing and having an independent root bones helps a lot with other animations
>>41094852I loathe her too, but it's a big challenge, thanks for that mane...Thanks anon.
>>41095142Thanks for the advice, I've gone ahead and added a root bone and made a quick walk cycle using the root bone for armature movement and animating the IK's as normal.tb-desu this is pretty great, i've only made one cycle and can extended this for however long I want.However since i've parented the IK's to the root bone, i'm encountering the hoof sliding again. I've adjusted the movement so that the sliding can only be seen with the hind legs as opposed to both fore and hind. But the sliding is really noticeable during the contact pose where all hooves are down.How do you stop these fuckers from sliding around? is there a technique i don't know about or is this a skill issue?Or is this the trade-off between reusable animation and smooth walks like with >>41093843?
Tips on making music sound like pony-inspired music instead of just generic tunes? Is it just the use of samples?Instrument selection? Do we know what synths and sounds were actually used in the BGM of the show?
>>41095562I believe most of the instruments used in show backing were EastWest libraries. EastWest Platinum has the large majority of it but it looks like it all got consolidated into a bullshit subscription service, so good luck getting your hands on the library alone.
>>41095924You will own nothing
>>41095374NTA probably have to tune it just right. Even then I don't notice the hoof sliding unless I'm looking for it.
>>41092593being satisfied is not the point
>>41049435>>41058812>>41064520https://files.catbox.moe/37wcd0.mp4Too proud to not show off. Animation is about 85% done. All that's left is to animate Fluttershy. Probably won't give this a background, but that might change. lol
>>41096906Damnnnn
>>41096906Damn.
>>41095374it comes down to tweaking, I'd try to fine tune the interpolations in the graph editor, it usually helps
>>41096906amazing
>>41096906nice brah.
>>41096906Very nice anon.
>>41096906Excellent, love the fingerwings! what are you using to animate this with?
>>41098006Photopea, pretty much doing all this by hand via pen tool. I think animating it on 2s honestly helps, but it's more fun that way for me.
>>41086820I just have the mane to go on this Rainbow.
>>41098942Actually She's practically done. I'm just waiting for the commissioner before I sew on the mane. I always forget to ask what side they want the mane.

>>41100612Have you considered using plushify? Website claims to be a tool to convert 3d meshes into sewing patterns.
>>41101049im sure we can trust (corporation) with (personal assets and data). what could go wrong?
>>41101049Isn't there add-on for blender that does that too, or is it the same thing?
>>41101160Copyright is a guy's personal name but I see your point.>>41101173Yeah looks like Blender has "seams to sewing pattern" plugin if you want to keep all the data on your pc.
>>41101049At first glance it seems the only thing plushify does is unwrap a 3d model. Without any fabric simulation.I researched the topic of computer aided plushie design some time ago and found this paper:https://history.siggraph.org/learning/plushie-an-interactive-design-system-for-plush-toys-by-mori-and-igarashi/It seems the chinks have turned this technology into a powerful commercial program called EasyToy.http://www.livesforce.com/en/index.aspx?id=2

Lately, I've been having thoughts about how any online presence I have outside of the content itself is just contamination. It builds up an ego that I don't want, and it'd be better to reduce or eliminate it so that everything that's associated with my artist name is the art itself. What do/create/ anons think?
>>41104255I have the same outlook on the world. I don't care about sharing content for the sake of publicity, so it ends up making me more quiet than not.It has the obvious downsides because some people want to follow people who do that stuff, I just don't care. I'm curious what other anons think.

>>41109708,
>>41108625An artist? I could help, but 40 is a lot.
>>41106022Cute, well done man
it probably doesnt belong here but I made an AI money bill and shopped a mare onto it so i can use her to manage my time and flagging morale. the main idea tying it to create is that you should actually print this out and use it to spend for time doing things.

>>41110414so it might not be exactly 40 but id
>>41111873still love some helpim new to this so how do we contact eachother thru here
>>41111876You just did. But most people here are working on their own projects, and just dropping here and saying that you need 40 different drawings done might be a little overwhelming for most people.Try showing some of your own work from your project just to prove you're not an idea man, try to maybe reuse some of the drawings so they're not 40, try to explain what you want done so it interests more people and they understand the scope of your ambitions. You can even try to post in the mare fair thread and see if someone else will help.If all else fails, you can always comission someone, money is an excelent motivator

>>41108803Basically, you want someone to take your idea and make the whole thing for you. You should at least do the legwork and make the script. Someone else doing it is not going to capture whatever you really wanted to see.

Any of you know any methods to help with self dicipline? I'm trying to learn a new skill but I always find a reason to do other chores or get distracted by the smallest of thigns. I want to sit down, and just work. But I can't seem to do it by mere force of will.Does anyone here struggle with anything similar?
>>41117701You probably have ADHD and need meds, or you're not really interested in that skill.
>>41117718It’ll be harder to overcome it than it would be for person without ADHD, but it is possible. I don’t judge people who take meds because it is tough, but I can promise that overcoming the lack of focus through your own perseverance will make you much happier and feel much much satisfying/fulfilling
>>41117701Willpower sucks, people only have a little bit per day and it's easily exhausted.One thing is to limit your options until the thing you need to do is the least boring thing you have to do. Alternately, try microdosing, it works pretty well for ADHD, with no side effects.
>>40916341Here is page 1 of 10+ pages... not sure how many pages this lewd little shipfic will have. Obviously I can't post every page here because this is a blue board, but eventually they'll all be digitally coloured and put up on my FA account. I don't typically like posting sketches on my art accounts anymore because it feels too low effort and I used to do it a lot as a kid on dA but it cluttered up my gallery too much.
>>41118221Page 2. I'm sure you'll notice here that Twilight is NOT an alicorn... or a Princess. This is an alternate universe (basically my own headcanon AU) because I hate her being a Princess... but I hate her being an Alicorn more.
>>41106022i havent thought of happy tree friends in years. thanks for reminding me, nigga.
>>41118223Page 3. You are probably also noticing Starlight's hairstyle, and the fact that Shining Armor referred to "our wedding" when speaking to Twilight... in my universe, they are married because ever since I watched "A Canterlot Wedding", I shipped them and I haven't ever stopped shipping them since. You might ask, "What about Cadence?" well, she exists in this universe (and she is a unicorn not an alicorn) but she and Shining Armor just never really saw each other much... so he married Twilight instead when she confessed to him. Unfortunately this is the last page I can post because the next one has lewd imagery.
>>41118223wow thats cute. looks really good. >because I hate her being a Princess... but I hate her being an Alicorn more.wow what a hot take to have on /mlp/ of all places
>>41118223This is really cute anon, I love your artstlye and the way you do your pony faces!
>>41118232>Shining Armor referred to "our wedding" when speaking to Twilight... in my universe, they are marriednigga whatare they still brother and sister?also, post the rest with catbox.moe
>>41118232>she is a unicorn not an alicornYou were so close to perfect headcanon, but you had to make her a unicorn instead of a pegasus!Jokes aside, I'd love to see the rest somewhere other than FA. Your drawings looks really nice and I would never visit the fucking furfag haven.
>>41118253Yes I'm a shiptard and I felt like they literally had so much chemistry it was crazy. Plus Twilight is literally so obsessive and possessive over him, she 100% has a complex. I've never used catbox before but I'll see what I can do. Working on another page so I'll upload them all in one go once I'm done with this one.
>>41118273>Yesnigga>Plus Twilight is literally so obsessive and possessive over him, she 100% has a complexthe only reason why was because her brother came out of the blue marrying a literal who. twilight is protective of her brother marrying some possibly good for nothing pony, gotta keep the gene pool pure (imagine marrying a mud pone lmao)
>>41118232>>41118233>>41118248Thank you!>>41118264I have always hated the "canon" that she was a pegasus first because her special talent is using love magic... so how would she have gotten her cutie mark if she was a pegasus? Also, I believe when asked about her, Lauren implied she thought she was going to be a unicorn. She just makes more sense as a unicorn.>>41118558Yes I know but just let me have this fantasy lolHere's the other pages of the comic:Pg1: https://files.catbox.moe/lrm0ne.jpgPg2: https://files.catbox.moe/zo2eqk.jpgPg3: https://files.catbox.moe/jdnhxg.jpgPg4: https://files.catbox.moe/jc5jk7.jpgPg5: https://files.catbox.moe/ns3hn6.jpgPg6: https://files.catbox.moe/udw6ht.jpgPg7: https://files.catbox.moe/2dfbww.jpgPg8: https://files.catbox.moe/je3mdx.jpgPg9: https://files.catbox.moe/ez3hw5.jpgPg10: https://files.catbox.moe/ehj5qo.jpgPg11: https://files.catbox.moe/o6l431.jpgLewds start at pg4
>>41118232>in my universe, they are married because ever since I watched "A Canterlot Wedding", I shipped them and I haven't ever stopped shipping them sinceholy mother of based>>41118706holy mother of unf
>>41118232Are they still siblings though?
>>41119377Answered earlier, but yes. Eventually I'll do a comic of their honeymoon night too but I felt the drive to do Starlight x Double Diamond at the time of this comic, I just wanted to include my other ship in it as a background thing that was happening.
>>41118706Are you considering digitizing this? Even just scanning it would be enough, it will be a smash hit.
almost have the new thread ready, just working on an op pic
>>41118232>good art>cute ponies>unhinged headcanonsExtraordinarily based, 10/10
>>41118706It's kind of a shame you posted it so late in the thread, because this is great and more people should see it!
>>41119567It's unicorn, non-princess Twilight. That already puts it above most others.
>>41119574Yeah that part's not unhinged, that's just plain good taste
>>41119377>>41119517>itt: illiterates
>>41119517>>41119567I appreciate the comments anons. I used to have a scanner but unfortunately I don't have immediate access to one anymore. The one I had before broke and I can't get another. I'll attempt taking some better pictures and then I'll work off of those to make digitally coloured versions of each page.>>41119573Thank you! This is just when I happened to post the stuff. If it's not considered bad etiquette, I'll re-post the catbox links in the next /create/ thread if you think I should.>>41119574>>41119605In this universe she "graduates" and Celestia doesn't simply force royalty and political power onto her. Instead she is going to (eventually) become the top teacher at Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, taking a break from that later in life when she gives birth to Shining's foals and needs to take time to raise her babies.>>41119637Haha I don't mind explaining things a few times if it bumps the thread! I am happy to answer questions.
