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.
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.
