My wife
The Great Calling draws near
Love for Cirrus, love for snowpones!And well wishes to all who enjoy and participate in their world.
>>41702987this art, that snowpony, it makes me happy.
There she is
Got my first dusting of snow the other day so I can officially say winter is here
>>41702987OH MY GOD SHES SO FUCKING CUTE
>>41703384Damn, what are these huge ass mirrors for?
I have now also acquired the power of 3d snowmares.
>>41704622>The eyesIs....is this her snowpitty? It's beautiful
>>41704224just one mirror, it helps with backing up (but it's meant for towing)
>>41704630I tried adding glowing eyes due to her using her spirit sight, so yes, that's her kind mare spirit shining through.Alas, the 3d generator can't stop blending separate characters together either.
>>41705009That Frosty is almost perfect
>>41705039Almost. but still not good enough. I tried Cirrus Wisp too, but... It didn't go half as well as the 2d attempts. I'd really like to try out the animations, make a snowpony animated short even if I have to glue it from the 8-sec bits civitai lets you make, but the couple I got so far were nowhere near MLP, just weird, generic fantasy/disney horses. Gotta let it improve a little more, I guess.
>>41704622Hnnnng, 3D Cirrus!>>41705009This is really good too!
This is what Puffins needs to learn to do, the savage.
>>41705009>>41705039The cutie marks are a critical weak points in ai images too.
>>41707070Urge to gently ruffle mane rising
>>41702987I want to marry the pinecone mare.
>>41708784
>>41707070>>41708177I love Lushcoat! She gives marecuts! Though I wonder how Ice Elation ended up dragging her Abominable pals into town you thought the second pic was Lushcoat as a filly, that's actually the pile of Abominable trimmings[/spoilers]>>41708784Are deer sapient? Cause she looks like she likes what she sees
bump
Picked up this drawing that I started working on several threads ago. I've been so busy, it makes me upset that I haven't been able to do more work on this, but I'm glad I made some progress tonight.
>>41710381Is that Cirrus watching over the other snow pones?
>>41710548Yeah, that's the idea. I also wanted to weave elements of snowpone lore into the aroura borealis, (similar to Brother Bear).
>>41710381Looks neat. I've got something I need to get to before chrimbo too.
>>41710381already looks kinodont stress out too much over finishing it, for some people the winter holidays are well into january
>>41710381Gorgeous even in potentia.
>>41705943Images taken seconds before disaster
Snowponies on the ice are so graceful...>>41711144And how would tasty fish be a disaster?
>>41711599Ice-skating snowmares twirling under the moonlight sky!
>>41705943>dun wanna
>>41711599It's a fully metal pan, over an open flame, held in.. well not exactly the hoof but held
I can't stand it anymore, I have the power to make snowmare lewds, and I will!
>>41714157Dude wtf this is a blue board MOOODS
>>41714157>shamelessly ruffling her chest fluffMy god
>>41714530>the anti-lewd spell keeps breaking his fingers but he's still going
>>41715088Kek
Overfloof.
>>41715638Is her cutie mark literally being floof?
>>41714157MY HAND!?!
>>41715638Yeah, this screams impending heat stroke to me.
>>41715869Which is why she's at a barber, I imagine.
>>41711599I wonder if snow pony hooves somehow adapted to ice surfaces.
>>41716779Since they developed skills to walk on snow without sinking through, I'd say there's a similar skill to be learned for galloping on ice.
>>41715869Overgrown snowmare gets too used to sleeping outdoors and realises to be inside must have coat-cut.
Frosty wants brushies.
>>41717055These look to be firmly in the uncanny valley
At least to my eye. It is pretty interesting to see these AI images though
>>41717520Uncanny brushies
>>41713658I don’t think those earmuffs are doing much
>>41717520Eh. They don't look like that to me, but who knows. They're cute, but the biggest problem is probably the 1:1 translation of 2d to 3d. The eyes are too big, and the muzzles are... Hard to get right.I'd pet the hell out of a snowmare even if she looked uncanny, though.
>>41717847Perhaps try prompting a more natural or equid look?
>>41717487I can't stop thinking that the mane style makes her look like a wild west whore or a cougar looking to pick up young men at the bar.
>>41718123She's more the later, Maple Muchly is that sort of mare.
>>41718113Perhaps better to try not proompting at all? There is enough shit in the thread as it is.
>>41718113Still Lake and her foal River Bedhttps://files.catbox.moe/mezfic.png
>>41718656SOVL. Are Still & River Northerners? Do the different tribes compete for best ice skaters?
>>41718745Anon you can remove the /r/ from your name now
>>41718656Cute! Extremely cute!
>>41718136It's a bit of a balancing issue. It can be cool when done in moderation, but Anons sometimes tend to overdo it.
>>41718113Alas, the algorithms (It's not AI, I'm annoyed that people are calling it that) are pretty dumb still. Some things it can get, others, you can't make it do even with a hundred tries. The realistic generator can't seem to do two-tone manes for snowponies, for example, even though the cartoony one has no issues at all. The results are pretty specific, too. You either get specific models, or abominations (I did get completely horse-faced ponies once, though I deleted that pic. Maybe I should have kept it, it was funny in hindsight).>>41717520What about this mare? She looks cute from the side.
>>41719394That example is pretty good.
>>41719966I just wish I could get some animations going. I don't care too much about making a flood of pictures save for something cute now and then like the chest fluff rubbing and pets, but I do want to do things that otherwise wouldn't be possible, like making animations, and maybe even piecing together an animated short one day. Alas, despite a pony animation literally being one of the things civitai shows off on their page in regards to what their software can do...https://education.civitai.com/civitais-guide-to-video-in-the-civitai-generator/My own attempts to animate ponies have been met with no success.
>>41717847She kinda looks like the gelflings from The Dark Crystal.
Stop your fucking blogposting and go back to AI general, fag. Stop shitting the thread.
>>41720204>go back to AI generalNever been there. Womp womp.
>>41720215Well, you should try to.
>>41720204>>41720219could you stop whining please
>>41720232Dunno, could you stop flooding?
>>41720215>"Womp womp"Kill yourself.
>>41720258Hmmmm...Nah.
>>41720310>advanced under-belly booping techniques
Cards came out well.
>>41722132those are beautiful, too bad it's a bit late to try using them for the secret santa, lol
>>41721003The assassin's style of booping.
>>41722132Oh gosh they are so lovely. Truly soulful and wintery wonderful.
>>41722132Pretty sweet, anon. Always neat to see physical pony stuff.
>>41722132Nice. What are they made of?
>>41718656>https://files.catbox.moe/mezfic.pngWhy'd you link it? It's not too big
LS Frosty plush soon™
>>41724148holy shit
>>41724148>LS?
>>41724908Laser-sight equipped, use her to identify targets for NORAD
Is there a snowmare equivalent to this?>Duhh', oh boy oh boy, a cute little green monkey all lost in the snow...>I will love him and pet him and hold him and squeeze him.
>>41725038Sounds like Anon's run-in with Abominables
>>41725281Man, I just realized how much bloody mane these two mares have. The amount of hair is enormous.
>>41726850She looks a tad like a psycho here.
...Well now.
>>41727165Judging from these movements, I guess there's a black hole in the vicinity.
>>41727631Here's to hoping she can escape it before she gets sucked in!
>>41727631she's a stronk amre if she manages to escape the pull of a black hole
Oh no, the black hole is sucking in her mane!
>>41728123Nah, that's just static cling.
>>41723584I love this mane style
>>41728123This mare has a strong magnetic field.
It didn't end up like I'd envisioned, but I think it's cute enough regardless. Happy Hearthswarming season, snowpone thread.Version without the messed up lighting: https://files.catbox.moe/rdaat4.png
>>41729284Oh boy Frosty doesn't know what she's about to unleash
>>41729284She's so round, lovely!
>>41729284Neat. Not entirely sure I saw the movie this is referencing, though. It is a movie, right? I have some vague memories of coming across something similar in the middle of it on tv.
>>41729545AAAHHHH THE FLOOF!! I WANT TO RUB HER AND GIVE BRUSHIES
>>41729284Looking nice, Anon.
Found a documentary about the yakutian horses, it has English subtitles.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71iAU_E7Yj4
>>41729545The polar express, pretty fun movie as far as I remember.
>>41729284it feels wrong seeing that thing with snowponies
>>41730404What thing, the train? Because of technology?
>>41730404>>41730411Oh wait, let me guess. The filly?
Well, this is where AI is at now. It can actually do non-broken, G4-looking animations. though... The surprise horn is odd. Was this AI made by unicorns?
>>41730902Its the mane looking like Twilights if I had to guess.
>>41730404
>>41730902Unicorns have an instinctual horn retract mechanism in very cold environments.
>>41731900if I ever look out the window to see this in the dead of winter then I'm gone, it's time to reject humanity and become horce
Up.
>>41730935Maybe, though another one I tried also gave me a unicorn. Very odd.All the others I did were pictures to animation, while this one was a pure text prompt. I did specify a pony in G4 friendship is magic style, but it gave me what I'm pretty sure is a 1:1 G5 style. I haven't watched g5, but from the screenshots that I saw, that looks like it. Also, the text prompt result doesn't seem to have any animation errors at all, like the weird glitches or overly slow/fast motion picture prompts do, etc. Just a perfectly normal g5 animation. In theory, if some Anon with a powerful enough rig could get their hands on this AI, they could literally remake the entirety of G5 from scratch. We live in interesting times.Probably not possible to get a g5 snowpony, not that I'm very interested in that.
>>41732509It does look very g5. Interesting it only got the fetlocks right in terms of coat
>>41732760Yeah, it does remind me of G5 too. Which is kind of a bummer because I could never grow to like their visuals.
>>41730160You don't really think about Siberian summers, but the mosquitoes out there are insane
>>41729545https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eQIPuILn1E
>Save tiny ponies from page 10!
>>41733364
>>41735032>Save tiny poniesAs much as that derp franchise is incompatible with snowponies, that line made me think of WH40K ogryn.>Protect the lil' ones!
>>41733934If mosquitoes were actually cute little pony mosquitoes, I would gladly give them some of my blood.
>>41736044Now you made me wonder what the role of an abominable snow pone could be in the royal guard.
I got the AI to animate a neuro.It's pretty cute.
>>41730244What a lovely coincidence! Frosty got to ride the Polar Express with me yesterday and write her letter to Santa.
Damn.
>>41736378Heavy-armored cavalry most likely, since they'd be able to actually carry that weight.
>>41737260Definitely on the better side of things.
>>41736160Mosquito mares are still mares, too. Their innate snowpity causes them to cure leukemia, lymphoma, and all other blood-related diseases on anyone they slurp from. Many reputable Equestrian hospitals keep swarms of maresquitos in the lobby for this reason.
>>41736566Little sweetheart, she's going to get lots of FEESH!
>>41736566>two pairs of bootsThat mare is going straight in.
It was not meant for mortal eyes.
Snow bump.
>>41740013It's like the ark of the covenant from indiana jones.
>>41740013>she vanishes after the revealWas it real, or was it a dream, is snowpity tangible, or is it a yearning sought but never found?
>>41741052If I had to guess, I'd say that it was a failsafe of some sort that kicked in. Another mare that possesses a snowpity of her own can gaze upon another, but for a human, it'd melt their face off. A snowpity is the essence of a mare's kind spirit, though, so it swiftly removed itself and the mare to a safe location before it could harm (You).
>>41741077That makes a lot of sense. Even in showing their kindness, they spare you the consequences.kek by the way
>>41740013And thus, it remains a mystery.
>>41740013It took even the spoken words with it. Damn this stuff is powerful.
Anyone able to read snowmare lips?
>>41730404Don't worry, they're dragging her along a magical journey to gain the snowpity green fillies lack.
>>41742768No, but this looks surprisingly good for being so close to the G5 style.
>>41743749>Based foalsitting Anon.>Probably getting fish to feed the foal or something.>Does he need to mash up the fish to feed the foal?I like stuff where Anon is wholesome with the snowponies. Makes everything more comfy and happy. I especially love those pics with explorer Anons interacting with snowponies. Feels so much nicer than the pure degeneracy in the other threads.
>>41743749That Anon has never used a fishing rod before, now did he?
>>41744450He's trying darn it
>>41738355That and logistics in general, I wager. They can get stuff moved that would require a Unicorn skilled in teleportation otherwise.
>>41744450>>41744915Kek>Go to Snowponia>Notice the snowponies only use harpoons and nets>Try explaining fishing rods, how hard can it be?>Turns out its harder than you thought
>>41745275They'd need an Ice Elation type to help them keep focused. Its not that they're dumb, they can understand and do it no problem, but keeping abominables on track would not be easy
Eepy thread.
>>41746289>She moves in her sleepCute.
>>41746889No animation on that?
>>41747569not everything needs to be fed through an AI
>>41746889Would have been funny if she sneaked up on him to nap one of his boots while he is distracted.
>>41748520Well, she did brutally murder him and steal his hat to use for the snowmare...
>>41748786I knew there was a reason I didn't trust these things.
>>41748786Puffins acts like this and still wonders why ponies assume she's a filly.
>>41748801Probably because of scenes like this.>>41747569>>41747587Yeah, I've been having fun with it, especially given that most of these, I didn't actually prompt anything at all (you can feed an image without a prompt into it, and it animates whatever it feels like. The results are surprisingly coherent.), but I'm not on a quest to animate every single snowpone picture there is.
>>41748841This looks more like her trying to emulate the sound of the birds rather than talking.
>>41748801Its so cute though, Puffins should listen to her inner filly.
>>41749031I mean, sure. Why wouldn't she be? I'm sure Fluttershy isn't the only pony in the world that can talk to animals.Puffins:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8bb8xlAlwk
Been a while since I wrote anything. Here's a short thing.>Be Cirrus Wisp.>Spirit, shamare, legend...>There's a lot of debate among your people about what or who you truly are.>Funnily enough, all of them can be right, depending on the situation.>You crack a smile to yourself, giggling under your breath as you recall the various spirited arguments about you that you overheard now and then.>You actually were a shamare...>Once.>Once upon a time, you were nothing but a filly. Small, fragile, and with an eye for the spirit world.>But you grew and grew, as did your power and skill, up to the point of legend.>And then, you died.>It wasn't even in some majestic battle with some horrifying spirit monster. You were just climbing a mountain for your meditation, and, in your old age, didn't quite put your hoof right and caught your leg on your absurdly long mane, slipping and losing your balance.>Yup, you, the legend of legends, tripped on your mane and died.>...>Well, happens to everyone.>...>Good thing you carried that secret to your grave.>No one found your body before nature reclaimed it.>Most ponies ended up believing that you either went to your death as you knew it was coming, or just ascended to being a pure spirit that could still take physical form due to everything you learned in life, and that you now wandered the endless plains, helping ponies out with a tidbit of wisdom now and then, leading them out of dangerous situations.>They weren't too far off, as you did have enough power to wander the world as long as you wanted, though becoming corporeal was most definitely not an option any more.>However, eventually, you decided you had enough... That you stalled time enough. You closed your eyes, hugged the earth, finally let go, and let the winds carry you where they would...>And they carried you right to some mare's womb, making you reborn.>That was an... Interesting experience.>You were just a filly again, of course, but you always had... Interesting dreams, to say the least.>Needless to say, your demeanor attracted the attention of shamares, and before long, you became one again, with the odd temptation to grow your mane out... As the memories of your past life kept slowly filtering in through your dreams.>The shamares told you that the legendary Cirrus Wisp was teaching you in your dreams, which was an unheard of honor.>It took you a while to understand that she was you, and you were her.>And then, you died.>Not right then, of course. Just when your life ran its course.>And so, you persisted, the eternal wanderer of the snowy plains and forests. Sometimes living, sometimes not. Spirit, guide, shamare...>Watcher.
>>41749796>You were always on the lookout, the many dangers of the north being an ever-present threat to your people's survival.>As some regions were tamed and the tribe's territories expanded, the new lands always brought new wonders, as well as new dangers.>There was always something new and interesting, if deadly, to see.>Your ear flicks reflexively as you faintly hear a crunch in the snow.>You look around, your eyes glowing from the spirit sight.>At this point, it was harder to not use your spirit sight. You almost forgot you had mundane senses sometimes.>Which was usually fine and well, but not lately. Not with the new creatures roaming the north.>Recently, some strange, most peculiar beings started visiting your people.>A tribe of some kind of great explorers, possibly the greatest in the world.>Some snowponies would scoff and turn their noses up at such claims, claiming that their tribes were the greatest explorers, but the truth was quite clear to see. The outsiders were the ones to arrive to the north from some lands far beyond the tribe's territories, not the other way around.>And these outsiders really were...>Outsiders.>Their spirits were quiet and dark, almost invisible.>It's not like they were particularly stealthy, it was just their spirits.>And to you, who was entirely used to using your spiritual senses rather than your physical ones...>It was too late the moment they saw you.>You only heard the crunch in the snow, looking in the general direction with your spirit sight.>The next thing you knew, you felt a hand stroking your mane.>You are already pet.
>>41749800>You freeze, blinking in confusion at the strange sensation.>You weren't too sure of their intentions yet.>The outsiders seemed friendly, and they didn't act like they wanted to conquer your people's lands...>But they were also so hard to read.>"Aww... You're so cute with your long mane. Are you lost, long-maned mare? I'm not exactly local, but I think I could point you to the nearest village...">You give your head a tiny shake as your legs grow weak, laying down on your belly.>This was quite an unusual experience for you.>You were always the one that got the drop on others, often having watched the situation from afar before deciding whether to intervene or not.>Never in the countless years you've been around did anyone get the drop on you.>"Aww, sweetie, are you afraid of me? It's okay, I'm not going to hurt you.">Pffffffffffft.>It's not like he even could.>What's the worst he could do, kill you?>Been there, done that.>You're still not sure how to proceed, though.>You should do... Something.>Do some magic, cause a localized blizzard, vanish in front of his eyes, something to put the awe and perhaps just a touch of fear of the legend of Cirrus Wisp into these outsiders. It was pretty clear that they had no clue whatsoever just who you are.>Yes. That's what you should do.>...His hand running through your mane feels nice, though.>Really nice.>You find yourself blushing as he keeps stroking your mane, looking away from him as you can't quite keep a small smile off your face.>...Maybe you'll just let this play out just this once, instead of doing the "Spooky mystic spirit" bit.
>>41749803Cute story! Imagine the reaction when the next village finds out anon gave Cirrus scritchies I know we have plenty of art of Niveous with Cirrus. I really don't think Niv is another rebirth. Are they related? Master and apprentice? Something else?
>>41749617Kek imagine a mare trying to make sounds like these.
>>41749796>>41749800>>41749803Cute! Cirrus is cute! CUTE!And wonderful, and mystical, and...I am very jealous of that human, can't you tell?Wonderful evergreen.

>>41752331You'll see. Im just waiting for him to put up details. So far he just mentioned it on his most recent pic
>>41752331She doesn't look convinced.
>>41750393>when it's +10c in spring for the first time in months
>>41749803On a more serious not, I like the reincarnation/spirit life in between idea quite a bit. Add in some astral projection kind of thing for Cirrus to be "everywhere" so often and it makes quite a good explanation.
>>41753131*note, fuck I am so tired.
>>41753131she's so pretty i want her to snoof me
>>41753131>eincarnation/spirit life in between idea Only for Cirrus or for snow pones in general?
>>41753776I think he's specifically referring to Cirrus. Idk I can go with pones in general reincarnating. Have my own ideas re: snowpones
>>41753776Specifically Cirrus.
>>41720215You're full of shit, street shitter.

>>41756488Oh lonely ice sculpting shamare filly, how I've missed your silly antics.
>>41756488>Snow poner image inspired by an AI animation which was inspired by an original snow poner imageCan we go one level deeper?
>>41756488>the briefcase from pulp fiction contained snowpityWe're through the looking glass here people
>>41756966That's just neuro's style, it's why Puffins ended up being so filly-like.
>>41758466Oh good, I wouldn't want the elders after me for entering her magical snowpity world
>>41756488Neuro, is that actually you? Art style seems similar, but just a tiny bit different somehow.
>>41759182yes
Cool. You don't mind if I play around with your stuff and AI, do you? Your pictures seem to be extra easy for AI to "understand", probably because they're so close to show quality.>Cave maresFirst thought was abominables, but these are UNDERWATER caves, which are extremely dangerous already...That mare must be able to hold her breath for a looooong time.>>41757269I'm sure you're never lonely as a shamare. Spirits all around you...
>>41759806I dont mind, infact I find ai pretty neat
>>41759581imagine how long it takes a fully soaked snowmare to dry.
>>41761297Imagine gently towel drying a soaked snowmare.
>>41761297Maybe their coat has something which makes them less susceptible to liquid, allowing them to dry quicker and take longer to be fully soaked in the first place.
Unbelievable. I didn't think AI was powerful enough yet. I tried dozens of dozens of pictures and a bunch of animated gens, but every single one of them kept failing. I almost gave up, thinking there's no power in the world that could boop Cold Shoulder on the nose. The previous time I tried that, she got so angry, her eyes changed color! https://hailuoai.video/share/aKE7X8eb17R9She looks so genuinely real and pissed off, I almost feel bad for doing this.
>>41761860You can tell with just a bit of skilled human tweaking and refinement it would be flawless. Amaing how far tech has come.
>>41761860Oh yeah, she's gonna bite.
>>41761860
>>41761860Looks like a mix of relaistic and typical 3D cartoon animation, especially with that mouth.
This mare, though, just can't get out from that black hole's reach.
>>41763313Damn, she's tripping.
>>41759806>pickaxe becomes mane>this is supposed to be an example of ''''''''understanding''''''aibominations are an IQ test you failed
>>41726994Surely you wouldn't be afraid to be found by her in a cold blizzard, anon?
>>41764646I want to pet Cirrus! I want to pet the pretty longlong mystic mare!

Frosty adventure! :)
>>41765794through>>41765806Little cutie had a magical day! Did you have a nice time out with Frosty?
>>41765854Yes! ^c^Finally got enough courage to take some pics with ponies in public.( other pics >>41765837 >>41765839 >>41765841 >>41765844 and >>41765737 >>41765738 >>41765741 >>41765745 )
>>41765867Thank you for sharing cute Fluttershy images as well! I love her little outfit.You did well to muster up such bravery. Merry Christmas/Happy Hearths Warming to you!
The great calling is upon us
>>41765806Impressive level of plushie autism, anon. I'm not sure if I'll ever take mine outside.
>>41765044>Handles the flames decently Color me surprised.
Merry Christmas and Happy Hearths Warming to all who love snowponies and keep their spirit alive in their hearts.
Well, it's that time of the year again.>>41766419May the Call bring the spirits of your kin home, anons.In the spirit of spirits and snow, I got the AI to animate the photo of a snow-snowmare an anon made a year or two back. It was as uncanny and horrifying as I expected. In other words, perfect.
>>41757329What would be the deeper level? Getting the AI to animate one of the new pictures he made?
>>41757329>>41756488>>41767920
Merry Christmas snowbros, hope you all have a great day with waifus and/or family

More crossovers.

>>41769818Cirrus and Niveous so cute together.>>41770554Its absolutely lovely, thank you and merry christmas! I love how textured and detailed it is yet without losing the simple charm of snowpones.
>>41770554Looking great. Good job, Anon.
>>41767912And a genuinely cute, non-horrific version.>>41771410Looking great, anon. Still wondering whether Cold Shoulder is shy or scared.
>>41770304
>>41772376Ok this is rather cute.
>>41771872Frosty the snowmare is a fairytale they say,She was made of snow, but the children know how she came to life one day!
I've been thinking about writing a fic about snowponies and want to know more. Is their culture more germanic, slavic, or tribal/native? Do they interact with southern ponies at all?
>>41772376>>41769175Why is this one an alicorn?
>>41772988>tribal/nativeThis. Inuit, yakut, that's the general idea.>Do they interact with southern ponies at all?Depends on your fic, but either not at all, or little. Their "canon" territories lie beyond Mount Everhoof, which is in the northern part of the valley where the Crystal Empire resides. So not only are they behind a large mountain range, their closest neighbors are the crystal ponies, not Equestria proper.>>41772996A canon alicorn... Via animation error. Apparently, g5 also had random alicorns in the background pony crowds.
>>41773048>Inuit, yakut, that's the general idea.>their closest neighbors are the crystal poniescool, thanks! It would be neat if the crystal empire were considered a mythical paradise behind a mountain range by the snowponies, like hyperborea but to the south. I will (eventually) write about primitive snowponies going on hunting expeditions and stumbling across the crystal empire
>>41773065the crystal empire were considered a mythical paradiseNot impossible, at least in the regards to the valley the empire is in, depending on how closely you follow the built up lore. Don't feel the need to constrain yourself, though. I'm plenty interested in seeing some new takes on snowponies.
>>41772979Evolution does weird things to ponies.
Need to get Frosty some feesh for christmas
>>41774029Isn't there some sort of fur coat herring that lives in the waters of the pony far north? Ypu should get her that one.
>>41774044Oh yeah the fur bearing trout, good idea
>>41773158New takes are always welcome. So long as the core premises remain sound (stuff like no unicorn/pegasus snowpones) and the simple tribal theme is maintained, its all good.
>>41773158The Crystal Empire doesn't have much lore to begin with. We only know it is fueled by the emotions of its inhabitants who channel their power through the Crystal Heart, and that it had a millennium long timeout because of Sombra. That's essentially it.
>>41774758I meant the fanon lore that was built up along with the snowpony one.
>You weren't just going to swallow it whole raw, were you?>*flop*>Well, I mean, I was kind of hungry...
>>41775304Cute, but comes off like Frosty needs a snooze
>>41775304It does almost convey an embarassed reaction.
Snack time.
>>41777718Does autistic screeching count?
>>41778531Lichen is allowed there, sure it is!
>>41775304Keep your uncanny shit to your general.
>>41779355I think it's cool as long as it isn't spammed.
>>41779914She'd have one hell of a time if she were to meet Treehugger.
>>41779914Does she just forage shamanic mushrooms or is she a grower? Because you know how mushrooms are often grown... the weird mushroom grin in the corner sketch is cause she knows it grew from her own poo, Lichen is intrigued
>>41780872What does scrying the pine cones tell Anon?
>>41780938Ignore the bird, follow the river
>>41780941Prudent. That will probably take me to the snowpony village I've been looking for.
Not reloading the page from the Christmas theme on this page was the best decision I've made in a while>>41780715I always imagined her as a forager but I'm sure there's a bit of growing on the side
>>41781617>>41780715Without wishing to peer too closely into it, snowpones could indulge in casual recreation drugs. Shamares using them for visions isn't that out there, so for chilled evenings its not hard to imagine.
>>41781856>could indulge in casual recreation drugssilence you filthy stoner
>>41781874I don't even drink let alone smoke weed but sure buddy
>>41781856Idk, maybe a bit of alcohol/salt, depending on how you take that gag from Over A Barrel. I don't see anything more serious than that aside from shamanic practice and training. Maybe part of the coming of age ceremonies involves a much lower dose/more controlled experience than trainee shamares would get
>>41781924I like your ideas, my intent wasn't to convey "dude weed" snowpones, and this seems more reasonable>Maybe part of the coming of age ceremonies involves a much lower dose/more controlled experience than trainee shamares would getThats an interesting idea, though I pity those who had to guide Lichen through it
>>41775854
>>41782245>"I don't like being couped up in a house! I want to be outside in the cold and snow!"Anon, why won't you let her frolic in the snow?
>>41782245She's dead! Look what you have done!
>>41782421Anon, she's sleepy. I know snowmares are cold resistant, but I don't think they should sleep in the snow. Just ask Frostbite.
>>41782245Damn, AI is getting better.
>>41782574she's just pouting, she'll be up in a minute
Bump.
>>41762257>she's gonna bite.
>>41784955Kek, the arm twitching makes it looks like she's an eel who's shocking the dude with that bite.
>>41786092I think she sees me approaching with some feesh
>>41786124Huh, that's a type of rainbow trout I haven't seen before.
>>41786140Rather dashing
>>41780715I'd imagine the rare super magical shrooms need special circumstances to grow, but she could be figuring them out bit by bit.
>>41786092Heartwarming to the extreme.
>>41786140Dash's fluids escaped into the biosphere and magicly mutated into a new lifeform. A fish, fitting for her crusty cunt. Now Puffins has it, the shamares are going to have a real time with this one
>>41787748Either there's a strong wind, or it's even colder than Luna expected. Here she thought she was used to the cold of the Moon, but now, she's not so sure.(I remember reading something about how you actually get hot in space because vacuum is an insulator, and you can lose heat much faster in places with cold water/air)
>>41788250>*lunar buzzing sounds intensify*
Bumping the snow ponies.
snowbat?
>>41789126Snowbat a cute!
>>41788250>see webm>wings>hear thishttps://youtu.be/_GGfz-o5khc
>>41789126Egh. There are only two, maybe three rules to snowpone designs. Is "only earth ponies" really such a hard concept to grasp? Choose bat, or choose snowpone. Either would be cute separately.
>>41789126Been made once before by a faggy derpi fag. Makes no sense whatsoever. There's a reason why bats are associated with jungles and not snow... They'd freeze their wings off (literally). Bats in a cold setting just wouldn't do well.
>>41789126>>41789403>>41789575Technically could happen if it's post-equestria contact. Explorer/visitor/trader bangs a snowmare. I suppose you could somehow make like...wing mittens idk. But yeah, we're best sticking with earth pony only. It would take real talent to make hybrids work at all imo
Don't forget to milk your snowmares.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmSH_q8Dg8s&t=218s&pp=ygUOeWFrdXRpYW4gaG9yc2U%3D
>>41790343I hope she can communicate with them. Orcas have a terrible reputation.
>>41790914Ask nicely first.
>>41790338>Technically could happen if it's post-equestria contact. Yeah but lets not.
>>41790343Very brave snowmare. I like her mane!
>>41790338>wing mittensI think the more likely scenario would be the snowponies gently nudging the hybrid to travel south and connect with the batpony side of their heritage, instead of letting them suffer constant frostbite and potentially lose their wings. Not much fruit for the bat in the north, either.>would take real talent to make hybrids work at Pegasi or unicorns or even crystal snowponies could work just fine, as long as it's pretty clear that they're halfbreeds, not "no it's totally a real snowpony but a bat lol" like that fag did. Given the contact with the Empire, and both crystals and snowps being descended from earth ponies, their halfbreeds might not even be that unusual, though it depends on which side of the mountains they'd choose to live in.Could make for the usual "child with new abilities slowly tries to figure out how to integrate them into the tribe's daily life" story.
>>41792004Agreed. Keep it simple.
>>41792877The alter at the back is pretty cool. Is that a carving of a notable ancestor?
>>41785427Cold Shoulder with shamaric powers?Should have asked about that before trying to boop her...
>>41793443KEK
>>41793443What have you done this time?
>>41793443RAIDEN!
>>41794331Something silly. Maybe I should stick to petting Frosty. She doesn't mind.Silliness aside, the lightning actually looks pretty good. Maybe I should stop making snowmares getting pet and annoying Cold Shoulder (as much as I fucking love doing that) for now and try something else, like some monsters. There's nothing on floewolves, but who knows? Making a giant ice wolf should be possible. Maybe even make an animated throwdown between a floewolf and a shamare, like that scene from Agate's Vigil between Thundersnow and the wolf.
I want to be confined to the cuddle dungeon because a snowmare saw the tiniest little shiver one could make.
when are we getting a frosty post flag
>>41795832I do wish other snowpones besides her would get some love.
>>41795832I made one a while back just in case but /mlp/ townhall 2 never ever
>>41795926Ooh that is nice.>>41796365One of the very best, heart melts every time I see it.
>>41796365The best image to sum up the tone of the thread.
>>41797273Comfy, cozy, snowpity.
>>41797899>the anon maskNow that has style.
>>41799138I think snowpones might have cold caves or places where particularly fantastic ice sculptures might be transported to for later snowpones to look on at.Maybe shamare runes and such could help keep the sculpture storage cold.
>>41702987>Pine PonderDidnt really like the blend. Good smell though. But fuck you cunts for leading to me trying that moonlight earl gray, I need more of it.
Not sure what's going on with the parka and the feesh
>>41800415>gives Ice wingsDisgust
>>41800415That one's pretty garbled.
>I hope I find these "snowponies" soon... My hooves are getting frosty.>They can't be that far, right?>I might be in way over my head here...
>>41803492POV: 3 seconds after you were digging a well and uncovered a huge ancient pinecone
>>41803580I wouldn't be surprised if she could smell them like this.
Upsies for snowmares!
Twibooru users really scrape the entire internet for pony stuff. Someone just uploaded half a dozen Russian snowpony pics back from 2021.(No, that's not Lichen)
>>41805434It's River Bed! Here's a comic with her and her mom Still Lake>Are you really interested about how we live?Cooking with RiverTell us about yourself>Well... my name is River Bed. And I love cooking very much>It's my mom who does the cooking, her name is Still Lake. She has a canoe>Today we caught a lot of cod and will make fishoil>First, we take cod liver and cook it on coalfire>Then we pour the fish into a pot. Thus we've made yummy fish oil

That one guy keeps making these.
>>41806651If it makes him happy. The intention seems rather sweet and cute honestly.
>>41806695Yeah it's nice in his G%verse the snowponies continued to survive and thrive even after twiggy piggy's fuckups
>>41806651Man, these styles clash badly.
>>41806041Is the link broken? It doesn't embed.
>>41808401Nah, shorts just don't embed.
>>41806651Why are some mares still drawn in G4 artstyle while others are drawn in G5 style? Are those born after the collapse inbred?
>>41808900>G5 styleNot so much a style as it is a degeneration into garbage.
>>41808900Just different generation styles, I guess.The alicorn in the middle is actually supposed to be Princess Erroria, just grown up. If I didn't know about the different generations, I'd just assume the g5's are asians due to their smaller eyes.
>>41809378>If I didn't know about the different generations, I'd just assume the g5's are asians due to their smaller eyes.I prefer that to the reality>Princess ErroriaWho?
>>41809382Old sort-of /mlp/ adopted alicorn filly from Twilight's nightmare. Also known as Alula.
>>41810437Anons teaming up with snowponies to do highly technical Arctic science is one of my favorite headcanons. Wish there was much much more of this.
>>41811096I personally like the one with the giant snow vehicle staffed by both Anons and snowpones.
>>>/g/103796114
>>41809405The og queen of animation mistakes.
>>41811096I'd like to just chill with Cirrus and enjoy mystical stuff.
There is lots of snow outside.
>>41814186Ice Lettuce?
She might be mellowing out a little...
>>41815320She's talking about the things that frustrate her (maybe Lichen?). She looks relieved to tell somepony.
>>41800415>>41801840>>41808868>>41815320Fuck off.
>>41815609As kind and pure as they are, being able to vent must feel good.Screaming at a boot gets you so far but putting words to feelings carries you the rest of the way.
>>41816470no u
>>41813587I wish it was only snow. Ice is a pain to remove.
>>41815320She's in the phase where she's slowly admitting to herself that she likes it, but doesn't want to show it yet.
>>41818179Wonder how long it'll take to get her to admit she enjoys it.
I love these old garlic pone drawings
>>41818556By the time she does you'd be already pretty much dating.>>41821193They are very soulful.
