What you would give to each of the girls as a Christmas present?
>>42876989I just want to bury my face in Sour Sweet's cleavage
>>42876989Those 3 in particular? A child for each of them
>>42877055Same
>>42876989A book for sugarcoat (she’d tell me she hates it)Lingerie for SourVR headset for LemonPS5 for SunnyDumbbells for IndigoA book for Twilight (She would love it for real)
>>42877425lol nice
>>42877679Just opening her robe a little more
>>42877034What’s your present for her though?
>>42876445>”Now the bra. Take it off.”
>>42877679Where's the artist now?>>42878196What purpose does your post serve?
>>42879287Better one than yours, bud.
>>42879665god those tights are so hot
>>42879850Leggings I mean
>>42880086She’s precious
>>42879152She looks great in that outfit
>>42879108Curvy....
>>42879850>>42879867I want to cum on her ass while she's wearing them
>>42881137God imagine the build up to that too.Grinding up against those big soft sugarcheeks getting your cock smothered by those thinly imprisoned buns.
>>42881185That's hot
up
posted wrong pic
>>42882360Nice golden bikini
>>42880086How how HOW is she so smug?!
>>42883193She is top bitch.
>>42883193She knows people's weak points, and knows how to exploit them.
>>42883692She would figure out my weak point really fast: her.
>>42884541Beautiful booty
>>42883692And I love her for it
>>42882360What was the other one?
Up
>>42877055Instead of asking you to answer thinking about the 5, I'm curious to ask why you would only give a child to those threeWouldn't you do the same with Sunny and Indi?>>42877425kek very cool>Lingerie for SourI don't know if she will be happy or disgusted, maybe both>PS5 for Sunnystop, you're making my mind actively accept the idea of Sunny being a gamer
>>42886452>stop, you're making my mind actively accept the idea of Sunny being a gamerI like that idea
>>42884945I'd go bongocat on that catgirl
>>42887125Cringe but same
I read "Sleepover at Sunny's" by GreenReaper and loved every word>https://ponepaste.org/705 (Stayed)>https://ponepaste.org/704 (Kicked Out)It's so much fun, I personally love these tropes where the protagonist is constantly threatened and cornered with having his embarrassing secret revealed.This one in particular reminds me a lot of Aku no Hana, and Sugarcoat is the perfect character to fill that role of a psychopathic bitch who enjoys toying with the poor virgin Anon's social life.Sunny is a cutie, and I like her characterization hereShe might seem a bit too innocent at times, but I think it works in the context of this greenAlthough I'm not a fan of Sunny being tied to the fashion world. Yeah, yeah, Sunny is meant to be like evil Rarity, but giving her the same passion takes away SunSun's individuality.I'm talking more about the concept because it's not really a problem here, honestly; it serves its purpose and gives us a silly scene (it could have been better written and make it more funny or lewd, but it's okay)But the character who steals the show is Sugarcoat; she's very in-character, she's the one who constantly pulls the strings of the plot, and she's simply funny.This green has two alternate endings, and while I prefer "Stayed" and it's perhaps the one I'd most recommend for a first run, I admit that "Kicked Out" is more realistic and fun.In retrospect, it's a fairly straightforward story that doesn't stray far from what you might expect, but it's still fun and proof that sleepoverbros just can't stop winning!
>>42886452Sour would be happily disgusted
>>42887434I might read it
>>42884093Would she protect or exploit it?
>>42888847both obviously
>>42886850But what kind of gamer would Sunny be?>Greater than 180 hours in Animal Crossing and the Sims>Excessive use of racial slurs on sweaty multiplayer games>Wastes an entire month gaining an extra millisecond to get a new speedrun record>Just plays whatever, doesn't give a fuck about the story (if it has any)>Plays visual novels/erogames/dead or alive xtreme-esque games>Has wasted several years playing MMOs like WoW>Has wasted several thousand dollars on gacha games>Other
>>42889054Fallout
>>428890541, 4, and 5 are commonly known about females, 6 rarely, but anything other than these is merely emulating boys.
>>42887434That Sunny is so cute
>>42889054She probably likes strategy/city building more.
>>42886452>Instead of asking you to answer thinking about the 5, I'm curious to ask why you would only give a child to those threeWouldn't you do the same with Sunny and Indi?Because I want to fuck the shit out of those 3 the most out of the 5. Simple as. Other 2 can have a Christmas card or something. [Spoiler]besides, I can't afford 5 kids [/spoiler]
>>42887434Writer here, glad you like them. I mainly stayed with the basic prompt because it was a fun idea, and I can understand wishing it to be better written. Curse of being an ESL.As for a lewd take, I thought about Sugarcoat being the one ruining the sleepover on purpose because she wanted anon for herself, but I decided against it because I felt it very OOC at that point.It even was going to have to endings: one where anon accepts her feelings, and Sugarcoat basically indulges him in sexy secret scenarios at school; and the other where he refuses, she gets mad, "bounces" a lot, and basically it ends like that one Futurama episode where the guys "survived" Snu-Snu.
>>42890603Nice to see you're not dead and still lurking around here!Thanks for the story, specially for using sunny, she's a cutie!>I can understand wishing it to be better writtenDon't get me wrong, I didn't mean to imply that the story in general was poorly written (I'm esl too lol), but rather I was referring to that particular scene with the "fashion show"It's not badly written per se, it's just that I think it could have been written in a way that emphasized the comical and/or lewd side more, since both things happen but don't feel particularly strong in that specific part.More than “better” I meant “different”>sugarcoat endingsKek it sounds interesting, although I agree that it would be kinda OOC and too "fantasy"(like, (You) get all the cute girls despite being an average guy a moment ago)
>>42890603Great work
>>42890652awful lot of detail on sunny's feet there in that pic
>>42891165Cute
Here's Lemon Zest.
>>42892012She really rocks
>>42891165>”Wanna get licked, Anon?”
>>42892419Yes she does.
Which one would you trust most to take care of you if you’re sick?
>>42893016for comfort? Lemon Zestfor actually getting better? Sugarcoat
>>42893259fair answer
>>42893016Sunny probably has access to technology or a cure that's exclusive to her family
>>42893663She’s more likely to have access to some AI stuff than medical related tech
>>42892652She could lick me up my shaft if you know what I mean
Bump
>>42889254
>>42894989why is she like this?>>42889054I can see her being obsessed with specific franchises rather than a genreprobably games with a good amount of lore but that also offer good gameplay
>>42895236I can see here preferring franchises too, possibly Fate or Genshin Impact
>>42893990Up my shaft like she’s taking the elevator from the basement to the roof of a skyscraper.
>>42895236She needs that college money
>>42893663Boring cliche
>>42896339He parents won’t do anything? Not like she isn’t well off, she attends a private school.
>>42897121Sugarcoat is that you?
>>42896769It's called a headcanon.
>>42897210lol
>>42898071Nice
Happy hearts warming, anons!!!One question, just to let your imagination flow:How would the perfect christmas be with these girls? >>42898071>>42899019I love them
>>42899225S’mores and hot cocoa over an open fire
>>42899019Zesty
>>42899225Opening presents but knowing each other so well we notice the tags got mixed up and we gave the wrong presents then switching them
>>42899019Wanna tear that swimsuit off of her
>>42891444That’s the type of pic it is
How's your christmas going, shadowfrens?
>>42901487Spending time with the family
>>42901487I had to work the 24th and 25th, but tomorrow I'll be able to come back home.I hope you at least had a great time, lads.
>>42901842Good luck Anon

>>42902355Give that belt buckle a mistletoe
>>42901487Traveling
Have a bump
>>42904577Have a Lemon.
>>42904989Disney princesses would love to have that drip
>>42904989This is acceptable
>>42905535Love this busty rocker
>>42905001In a way, they already do. Not in lemon’s theme though.
>>42894989College tuition is meaningless these days
>>42905796
>>42907271Sometimes I forget that this girl and Suri also technically count as shadowbolts
>>42907354Same
>>42907628Her tits and ass would jiggle so much from enough movement, and her nipples would poke through that bra nicely…What a beautiful image.
>>42907354I’d get them “detention” with me somehow
>>42906611Nice
>>42909070>”This is MY cloud!”>”Get your own!”
>>42910158Ouch, burn.
>>42910508She'd still treat the burn.
>>42909748Sour cake
>>42911311Love this cutie
>>42911311thats a lot of lemons
>>42907271Purple would match her better but light blue works too.

>>42915862Cute
What would Sour be like if she were in love?I don't mean as a couple, but dealing with the normal teenage situation of being in love with some guyno, not with (You), focus on Sour
>>42916636She makes up false rape allegations to blackmail him with if he doesn’t date her. Then just treats him like a valueless servant after they get together, acting like she’s trapped and he’s the one who forced the relationship. Then acts clingy, sorrowful and suicidal if he hints at breaking things off to free himself. Does a bunch of cute nice things for him to show that she’s serious about being his girlfriend this time. Then uses that against him to guilt trip him if he ever talks about breaking up and no longer being her lackey doing her homework for her.Mind you this is all before the point when I enter the picture and rape her for real, because she wouldn’t show me her tits.
>>42916636Her sour side would hate her sweet side for being weak enough to devote feelings like that to someone
>>42916665Based
>>42916636>Sour Sweet x Little StrongheartHonestly cute ship.
Happy new year, shadowfriends!!thanks for making my first year knowing this cool characters (just watched FG this year) so speciallooking forward to more shadowboltposting with (You) all!
>>42918181Love you too, newfriend anon!
>>42917321I somewhat agree
>>42916665kek>>42916941I like this, as if Sour had two personalities inside her that conflict with each otherIt's not so much that she moves from one to the other, but rather that these two personalities compete with each other for Sour>>42917321pretty sure she's there for Braeburn but yuri is ok too i guessWhat I do wonder is how Braeburn and Little Strongheart are in Crystal Prep, given that they are both stereotypes of country folk and Strongheart is literally native american.I guess even Crystal Prep isn't immune to inclusion quotas lol
>>42919178She might simply live in the city and managed to actually qualify
>>42919178Braeburn is just taking a summer class there. That's why Sour wants to shoot her shot with him before she doesn't get the chance to again.
>>42919678Explains the cowboy hat staying on I guess lmao
>"Last words, faggot?"
>>42920312>"You're really cute. Wanna go out?"
>>42920347>BANG
>>42920715Looks like he went out with a bang.

>>42935994Only one?
>>42907354I mean they literally wear the uniforms, so yeah.
>>42933155Deftones, on full volume.
>>42938215Ofc they are from Crystal Prep, but in my head "Shadowbolts" are these 5 girls, not "every student in crystal prep"
>>42939037I can understand that I guess
>>42936500I love her
>>42925978I’d play that game
Hey guys, I remember making this suggestion on /dzg/ but getting almost no response, so I figured maybe the proposal would be of interest here:What do you think about doing something like a bookclub with fanfics about these lovely girls?Let's say that each week we choose (or randomly select from everyone's suggestions) a short fic and at the end of the week we share some thoughts on it.I know, some fics will probably be bad or not very engaging, but when our focus is on the characters, we have a lot to talk about without feeling like we're overanalyzing:>how the story portrays and characterizes the characters>comparing it to our headcanons>highlighting interesting concepts>talking about how you would improve or change the story>what ideas it inspires in you relating the characters and the world>what you like and dislike about this specific fic>what it reminds you of>etcI wasn't even thinking about long fics, but rather fics with a maximum of 5-6k wordsOr even choose two super short ones (2-3k) a week, so some people can choose which one to read and which one not to if one genuinely doesn't appeal to them (and some of us read both)Here are some examples of fics we could read that even I haven't read:>https://www.fimfiction.net/story/443401/sunny-at-midnight>https://www.fimfiction.net/story/306902/is-that-a-challenge>https://www.fimfiction.net/story/449187/zesty-but-with-style>https://www.fimfiction.net/story/315937/a-rose-by-any-other-name>https://www.fimfiction.net/story/302018/sleepy-sugarcoatThere would be nothing wrong with suggesting fics you've already read, especially if you think they're good or at least interesting to share with anons!What do (You) think?
>>42940794I don’t think a lot of us here read fics
>>42940905Me neither, but what other Shadowbolt content is there that we could actually discuss?Slowly exploring a large part of Shadowbolt content together can be fun, from the good stuff to the cringe stuff, the interesting stuff, or the meh stuffI can understand if this isn't your thing tho
>>42941432Who is your favorite artist?
>>42940905We did before modpet scared away all the writers.
Fuck it I'm just gonna post the girls instead and move on.Reminder to ignore the retard.
>>42940794I remember "is that a challenge", that one's good.
>>42941743Cute Zesty
>>42940794Well if we do that then it’d be a good idea not to pick anything smut.
>>42941743why is she so cute, bros??>>42941594do you mean drawfags?I think zan_logemlor, nire, and ja0822ck, but none of them draw much Shadowbolt stuff (or anything at all)If it's about writers, I don't really know enough to have favorites, and the ones I do know are because of one fic I liked, not because I've read the rest of their work>>42942337of course! after all, they offer nothing relevant to discuss or mention beyond things like breast size, but that's something we already discuss regularly with pics that aren't even suggestive lol>>42941765looking forward to read it, then!>>42942701me
>>42942740Sorry, I meant artists who draw shadowbolts, yes.
>>42941733Hot costumes
>>42941723how if it's everywhere literally every board has modpets now.
>>42941723Yeah true>>42943412The animal crossing one on Sunny is sending me
>>42944205I would run my hands all over her and feel how well she takes care of her smooth skin

Looking for some old pictures to liven up the forum.
The girls bullied the bookworm with words and actions.
The boys would blackmail and physically abuse the nerds.Which side to choose?
>>42945734I would love being softly bullied by them

>>42947103She can be incredibly cute when she wants to.
>>42943123I've thought about it, and honestly? I don't know anyone I'd categorize as a "Shadowbolt artist", like I would with artists who draw a lot of Dazzlings, for exampleThere's that guy (or girl?) who runs https://crystalprepshadowblogs.tumblr.comI really enjoy his stuff, and he'd be my favorite, but I don't know anyone else... maybe you guys could help me with that
>>42940794Well, I'll do it and we'll see if anyone joins!The fics to read this week for the Shadowbolt Bookclub (provisional name, I'm bad with names) are:>"Is That A Challenge?">https://www.fimfiction.net/story/306902/is-that-a-challenge>"Indigo Zap and her friends go to the arcade to play games.

>>42948033I don’t think I can think of anyone else who actually draws anything dedicated to the shadowbolts like that.
>>42948084I’ll try to find time to read it
>>42948084You know what? discard "Sunny at Midnight", it has almost nothing of Sunny and although it's obvious it's a joke fic, it's not actually funny but rather the "whatever as long as it exists" kind of "jokefic"Let's replace it with:>"Sleepy Sugarcoat"https://www.fimfiction.net/story/302018/sleepy-sugarcoat>"Public speaking is hard.

>>42948084>>42949170Well, starting the Shadowbolt Bookclub, I'll talk about “Sleepy Sugarcoat”, which I think gives us some talking points.It's cute, I like how it portrays Sugarcoat trying to improve her attitude but still being a bit grumpy and cold, it's definitely not a case of “it could be anyone”, but rather it captures the character.There's also this idea of “Sugarcoat tries to be nice only to end up being the only pony who isn't unbearable or difficult to deal with in one way or another in her group of friends”, like, Sugarcoat, of all the Shadowbolts, tries to be friendlier, and even the other Shadowbolts make it difficult for herit sounds like an interesting scenario, I personally likes how it works here.But that doesn't happen with Sunny, who I feel is quite a “good girl” and has no traits at all, I don't know what you guys thinkShe going to listen Sugarcoat's speech is something a good friend, and she, would do and I think it's cute, it's just that beyond that she doesn't have any traits that make me link her to Sunny Flare herself, even if we're talking about a “Sunny Flare reformed after FG and Dance Magic”There's also Indi, who I think might cause some problems in some people's headcanons...Here she comes across as annoying; she literally finds out that Sugar is sleepy and goes out of her way to bother her because it's fun. She's like an RD, but instead of innocent jokes, she likes to make jokes that clearly annoy her victimsWhat do you think? Is this the Indigo you have as headcanon, whether it's Indi before FG or Indi after FG?Do you even make those "after/before" distinctions?
>>42961443The inclusion of Minuette is also cool; she's the perfect character to be the cause of Sugarcoat's daily stress, a strange but fun duoHere's a silly edit I just made
>>42961461This is a funny image to me
>>42961443If an artist's commission has this settingNo RP.What does it mean?
>>42948084>>42949170>Sunny at MidnightHonestly, you've dismissed this as a joke fic and not worthy of any light, but I think it's an interesting amateur light crackfic prototype. It's not amazing in either grammar or prose, but there's potential somewhere there in the premise/ship. I could see this as a rather compelling love-triangle/third-wheel between Sunny, Sci-Twi, and Midnight with some better writing, plot, and length. But really, this fic is just a bare concept strung together with a few cliches. Comedy tag? Yeah, what?>Is That A Challenge?Exactly what it says on the tin: Indigo goes to an arcade, meets somebody, someone loses, that's it. This is a white bread sandwich with bread inside. The only spice here is the someone is Aria, and Indigo gets her ass robbed through Aria's weird rule changes that both Lemon and Indigo inexplicably accept instead of beating the caviar out of that bitch in an alleyway. Is it ever explained how the arcade cabinet was created or how it otherwise displays Twilight Sparkle when the Dazzlings don't have access to their magic anymore? Who knows, who cares? Where's my fic of Aria being a part-time arcade technician?Anyway, it seems fairly competent besides a couple issues too minor to bother with. The characters weren't caricatures and were portrayed pretty well; Indigo wasn't made (too) stupid, but rather just hyped and competitive. Also, who the fuck has an arcade with an atrium? Think of the sun damage.>Sleepy SugarcoatSugarcoat tries to sleep, has her drink spiked, goes postal, gets a hornjob, passes out. Living the dream. A lot of the characters were introduced and mentioned rapid fire, so I wonder what the perspective would be for someone entirely unfamiliar their quirks. Dialogue could be considered stilted, but that's just Sugarcoat I suppose; Sour Sweet was perfect. A few references and explanations that maybe weren't really necessary. Not much more to say: it was short, eventful, fine.>>42961443>it's just that beyond that she doesn't have any traits that make me link her to Sunny Flare herselfWell, what exactly are her traits? Like Rarity but bitchier? I thought her fixing the speakers was interesting, since she wears those weird pipboy sleeves in EqG -- maybe reaching for a technology theme? She also disregarded Sugarcoat with the speakers, so she isn't all nice.>There's also IndiMaybe there was something more to it, I don't know. She was "dumping punch on several ponies", which was weird.>Do you even make those "after/before" distinctions?Not really, they're ponies here, so outside of their surface-level defining traits, they're essentially blank canvases (which could argued the EqG counterparts are too, given how many lines some of them have). Up to preference ultimately, and seeing them as a simple Canterlot clique isn't bad at all. Given more length, and you could absolutely make a more complex, back-stabby drama with them, but I think this is an ok chill shortfic.
>>42962291>there's potential somewhere there in the premise/ship>compelling love-triangle/third-wheel between Sunny, Sci-Twi, and MidnightI think the same as you and have imagined a similar scenario, but more like Midnight being inside Twi (and not some kind of independent ghost who manifests whenever and to whomever she wants) who falls in love with Sunny and a helpless scitwi who is caught in the middle.Difficult to write, but you could see it as someone's tulpa falling in love with a human who is not the host.The reason I ruled it out for the bookclub is that we would talk more about the wasted potential of the concept and zero of what it ended up being in this particular fic, although to be honest, this is to bring up any kind of talking points here including concepts, so it works anywaysyeah, very silly me>Well, what exactly are her traits? Like Rarity but bitchier?I mean, one would imagine that this would be the case, at least from the writers' pov, remembering that shadowbolts would be a kind of mean 6 (or 5, you get the idea)The thing is, from there, anyone can build or rebuild their headcanon based on that idea and the little we have of her.Here she has certain dialogues, particularly at the beginning, that you could have told me were from any other pony and I would have believed youOkay, maybe I'm complaining that the character with a less defined cliché doesn't have a defined cliché here, it's just that I think it's kind of lame h e r eIf you're going to make Indigo a cunt who roams the city to annoy a friend from her friend group because why not, making Sunny that simple seems weird to meI guess I'm just proving that Sunny is slowly becoming my favorite Shadowbolt and I'm just being a faggot who cries because his favorite girl doesn't have a bigger role everywhere lmao>She also disregarded Sugarcoat with the speakers, so she isn't all nicefair, fair
>>42962291>>42962389>She was "dumping punch on several ponies", which was weirdPerhaps because we are seeing an Indi headcanon where the author interprets Indigo maliciously pushing SciTwi, “coming through!” moment, as her genuinely being a bully who enjoys the pain of othersIt seems exaggerated to point to a specific moment, but it's the same scenario as when in the early fandom there were 10 different explanations for why a green pony in the background was sitting like a human.>Not really, they're ponies here, so outside of their surface-level defining traits, they're essentially blank canvasesI mentioned it because the author, before starting the fic, said that this story took place after FG, trying to make sense of Sugarcoat being nicer or trying to be nicer.We're talking about girls who were reformed TWICE and are clearly portrayed as mean, only to end up dancing with the Mane 6 later.It's normal for some to have this “before or after” conception when it comes to these characters, as is sometimes the case with Trixie (many make that distinction, others don't, and many who don't inevitably pick one version over the other as their headcanon)As I write this, I'm mulling over this idea that they were “reformed” twice, and you could interpret it as these girls simply being that way and they definitely did something similar to what they did in dance magic a week after dancing with the Mane 6, and I feel like that could be valid.I mean, Sour runs into Rarity at the mall and (loudly) implies that she doesn't enjoy seeing her after FGOr you could simply see it as that at the end of FG they didn't really learn anything and that's why dance magic exists.I think both views are valid in this case, curious about how you (and whoever reading this) think of it
>>42961443Ah fuck give me tomorrow to try to read something
>>42961135>>42961136I wish she would look at me like that
>>42962229I think it’s supposed to mean “no reposts”.
I WANT TO RAPE ALL THE SHADOWBOLTS
>>42963774Well it's a good thing they stick together then.
>>42963467
>>42963774W-why would you do that, Anon?Don’t you love them?
>>42963762I see.However, I'll temporarily entrust The-Butcher-X with the project.
>>42961461They’re both cute
>>42961461They look cute together
>>42964091BasedThey’d probably just rape Anon at that point though
>>42965034What do you mean? What project?
>>42966758We hope creators can give them a new image.
>>42967458If they haven’t by now then I’m not sure if they will
>>42967916I don't know how long the work will take.But I already paid yesterday, so I'm just waiting for the artist to post the finished product on X.
>>42967971Well okay then
>>42931072>>42933653here you go, lazy anon
>>42963774same
>>42968452Is perfect. Great job.
>>42968452Easy but good edit
>>42967971mad scientist sci twi is great
>>42967254>”Dude, are you okay? That was a sick wipeout!”How do you respond?
>>42969833I ask her to practice cpr on Lemon before doing it on meThen Lemon can give me cprAnd Sour can join too
>>42970085Ah yes, “CPR”, with tongue included I presume.
>>42968452Is that sign a request or a threat?
>>42960505Saturday night fever
>>42970535She’s so damn cute in those goggles
I love their uniforms so much
>>42970425Whichever one that makes it hotter.
>>42971619For me it's not just the uniforms themselves but also how they wear them. They took as many liberties with it as they could, fitting for high school students. I always loved it about these girls, they're obviously in a prestigious school but that's not like the thing that defines them. In other words they feel like they're bitches first and Crystal Prep students second, as a consequence of their character and not the other way around (even if the school does amplify that, good kids like Twilight can still end up there too).
>>42972375Good point. It adds more to their character.
>>42972375might be a reach but I think them varying their uniforms might be a form of them rebelling
>>42972375I think when Ponyville opened its school, it should have enrolled their pony versions; that would have added a sense of conflict to the school storyline.
>>42973216That would’ve been a neat idea if they did that.
>>42973216Even the most retarded anti-eqg person wouldn't object to the idea if you compare that scenario with the Students 6 we actually had
>>42973539Yeah it’s a shame isn’t it? The shadowbolts would have been a fine addition.
>>42970535Isn’t there an edit with her only in the suspenders?
>>42973990Overalls, sorry.
>>42973113I'd say it's a form of expression but aside from Indigo their style doesn't really seem to reflect their character, so I don't think it's supposed to be that. And then we'd have to ask what kind of statement is Sugarcoat making with her incredibly shirt skirt. One thing we can definitely tell is that their uniforms are all custom tailored, meaning it's normal for students' families to take care of that on their own, or at the very least that they're all rich enough to do that.
>>42923116>>42941738>>42962389>>42967458>>42974934Sunny's jacket cuffs always remind me of the arm COMPS from the smt series
>>42975226I think it's a nice look for her
>>42975020Not only does that outfit hug her curves so well but it looks like it opens at the crotch too. That’s lewd.
>>42975934She’s fancy
>>42975226It does look really similar.
>>42977521I think my pulse just quickened for this nurse here
>>42978176>humanizedNice.
>>42978483For both of these nurses, really >>42974588
>>42975934I like that she’s wearing her uniform outside of school
>>42974934>aside from Indigo their style doesn't really seem to reflect their characterThis makes dance magic make even less sense to me. She was the most on point design wise and then they just didn’t include her when they could have just rescheduled her voice actress’s recording times or had her phone something in. I mean they did change outfits towards the end anyway but come on.
>>42979248I wonder what Indigo's dance magic outfit would have looked like
abstract shape
You've invited her to the gymnasium.What do you want to say to her?
Three minutes later, the little brat came riding his scooter and slapped her bottom.
>>42980951I would say something along the lines of>”It’s the type of gymnasium that means ‘naked’, right?”And she would have to admit that I’m technically correct.
>>42980956If have done the same
>>42979539>>42979544Such a lovely beautiful girl
>>42979833Probably something like >>42954953
>>42982299Yeah I can see that too.
>>42982610Fit gals
>>42983291Would make a great comic
>>42983772For wrestling with and losing to I’m sure
>>42983291What is Sugarcoat's power supposed to be here?
>>42984978Harsh language
>>42985053Welp, it makes sense to me.
>>42985356nicesad about her left leg tho
>>42985980Drawing skills were indeed lacking but it's the thought that counts.

>>42990383I have a mighty need
>>42990383Cute, though Sour Sweet looks like she's a zoo keeper.Anybody ever try doing the Shadowbolts in their school uniforms?
>>42990383kinda sloppa to mecheck that uncanny sunny's smile

>>42987920Strong!
>>42987920>>42992240Wish they would all wrestle me to the floor together and do what they may to me
>>42991967That would cost time and money, ain't nobody got time for that.
>>42992925>nobody has time or moneyHow are figurines for any fandom at all made, then?
>>42993166>How are figurines for any fandom at all made, then?Make something weeb, and invest the money after the wapanese roll for your gacha waifus.
>>42993227Same thing can work for the mlp fandom, which it has
>>42993166People with money investing into people with time dictate what is made. If it's not made it's because nobody with money and time wants it. The only exception is when corporations do it themselves because they sure as hell make a lot of shit nobody actually wants.
>>42993535Doesn’t make it impossible. I’m not even big into figures but I guess get into contact with people who will work towards making something pretty cool happen if you want it. It’s already established that people with time and money for figure production exist in this fandom.
>>42993674>>42993535Honestly, derpi and deviantart might have some people you could commission for that if i had to guess
>>42993908I wouldn’t know about deviantart because I never used that site, but derpi? Probably.

A Lemon made by yuka_mono?I'm dreaming?
>>42994303I want to boop that lemon
>>42991359Those are some sexy hips and tummy
>>42990383>Sugarcoat isn't an earth ponyFuck.
>>42994303Neato
>>42994906She should be. Her ass and her sass are perfect for it.
>>42994906>>42995397It’s AI. You can figure out how to make your own of those images in particular.
>>42995400I would have done my own but I'll admit I'm too lazy to even generate an image. I won't ask anyone else to do it for me though.
>>42995668Same, it seems like a pain in the ass to set all this AI thing up just to slop up a few images. It always seems like people who get into it generate a thousand similar pics a day, I don't wanna end up like that.
>>42995825This is why simply learning to draw for real is always the better choice, for me. There's a reason why they say shortcuts never work.
>>42996264Shorcuts only works on races, and even then is very hard to take them.One bad move, and may as well be the last guy at that point.
>>42986220This sunday!!>Countdownhttps://www.tickcounter.com/countdown/9282833/eqg-stream
>>42996264Drawing feels more rewarding too, the process itself is important. Especially because these days I feel like people value "human imperfections" in art more exactly because it's something AI can't make.
>>42997415I don’t remember people appreciating the human imperfections before AI
>>42997736AI made it literal since this way you can be sure a human artist made the drawing. But on a more subtle level it was always there. People like flawed things, styles defined by limitations, diamonds in the rough. We are right now in a thread dedicated to characters defined by their flawed personalities.
>>42998021We’re mainly in a thread dedicated to hot schoolgirl characters dressed up real nice.
>>42998146No reason it can't be both.
>>42998271I said mainly
>>42998021>>42998146>>42998271definetely both nothing better than hot mentally unstable schoolgirls with a sense of fashion
>>42998364Although artificial creation is very convenient, I still prefer traditional painting.Artificial intelligence can quickly increase the quantity of works in a short period and also bring less popular works back to the table.
>>42998501It is better than nothing, that's for sure..
>>42998501..as in how they did it hundreds of years ago?
>>42999590Lemon Zest showing her _kitty.
>>43000126Now that's lewd...
>>42998955You mean TRADITIONAL traditional painting? I’m not sure that’s what he meant.
>>42998955>>43000671CorrectionHand-drawnIt's all my fault; I wanted to tell it in a more vintage style.
