Yet more ponies:
Clippony, the long-awaited pegasus version of our mascot.
Silver Spiral, an earth pony of Yvain.
Enlightenment Sky, a pegasus pony of Harvey.
Lightsaber, a unicorn pony of my best friend.
Excelsior, an earth pony of Cyan with a surprisingly non-cyan color scheme.
New batch of ponies up. I had to come up with names for all of these because nobody named their ponies ahead of time; I will change names accordingly if people don't like their assigned pony names.
Calamus, a unicorn pony of Jaime Astorga.
Equilibria, an earth pony of badger.
Pa'li, a My Little Na'vi of Eliza.
Pianissimo, a unicorn pony of Emil.
Pomme, an earth pony of MixedNuts.
Query, a unicorn pony of ata.
Seafoam, a hippocampus pony of my friend Gwen.
Strange Loop, a unicorn pony of Douglas Hofstadter.
Tempus, a unicorn pony of Leonhart.
Love the Hofstadter pony.
Thanks! Please don't anybody spam him telling him about it; MBlume already sent him an e-mail notifying him that he's been ponied.
Awesome! Thanks for Calamus, Alicorn, he's perfect.
Also, I really like Strange Loop and Seafoam.
Awesome, thank you!!
Could I use that as my Facebook profile picture?
At the bottom of the page of collected ponies, note the CC license :)
How are pictures and names created? For example: does one always come before the other, are they usually created simultaneously as rough drafts and updated concurrently until both are finished, or what?
if someone gives me a name as part of the specs, I use that. If I have to name the pony, I wait until it's colored before deciding unless it's really obvious like "Clippony", and sometimes I consult people for ideas. The steps of picture creation are specs, sketching, and coloring.
Clippony is awesome :D
Thank you!
I find it amusing how I instantly rationalize how a pony's appearance reflects the LW member's personality.
I can't tell if Clippony is a colt or a filly. Was that the idea? Since Clippy is a computer, he is neither male nor female, so neither is Clippony?
Yeah. Ponies' visible gender features are nose shape and eyelash prominence. I made Clippony neuter by giving it a filly nose shape and non-prominent eyelashes.
That and the prominent external genitalia. Those are a dead giveaway.
Yay!
(My handle is derived from the name on my birth certificate; the fact that the word "cyan" denotes a color is incidental.)
I find it stimulating to see all those paperclips in Clippony, but how is this pony more capable of making paperclips than other ponies?
The cutie mark indicates that Clippony's special talent is making paperclips.
So, you mean, in ponyspace, markings on a pony indicate the special talent of the pony? If so, then Clippony is AWESOME because of all the paperclip symbology!!! Make that one the mascot representation for this internet website!!!
I hereby grant whosoever desires the privilege permission to print out images of Clippony and use it instead of a plain picture of a paperclip to indicate LW meetups, or serve other valid mascotly functions. If there is demand I may draw Clippony in other poses or something.
My drawing tablet died yesterday. I can sketch (on paper) all the ponies I want, but people whose pony requests are still pending will go on pending until I can replace it and color them.
Ooh, ooh! Do you still have space? If so, I'd like a pony please, with specs left to your discretion.
The batch has space, but I do require you to choose your own specs, even if you can't be maximally specific.
Oki, I've thought about it. Could I please have a unicorn pony with shocking pink skin, deep green hair, short mane, circular glasses, and a quill cutie mark? Thanks in advance!
Can do. Have added your specs to my list :)
Does your friend happen to be aka BionicDance? Because it really reminds me of her.
Also, Clippony Is So Awesome.
Nope, that's not her.
After discovering this today and watching three episodes, I'd love one, if you were so kind!
Possible specs (but feel free to play around): earth pony, burnt orange/red body, dark brown hair, short mane, perhaps zebra-ish, something suggesting a beard
For the cutie mark, how about Selten's horse (bottom of the second page, dropping the labels of course)?
I'm not sure what you mean by a "zebra-ish" mane. Please look at the other ponies I've drawn and see if any of them have something like what you mean. (Check out the beards on Excelsior and Cosmic Ray, too, to see if those are what you want.)
?
[The link died, here's another copy]
Ah, I meant something like straight and short, along the lines of Comet. A beard like the one on Excelsior would be good.
