I have started drawing ponies. They are fun and easy to draw. If anyone wants a pony version of emself (or of someone or something else), ask me (samples of the ponies I have already drawn will be publicly available soon once they've been scanned and colored).

Hey! That was my idea! :p

Speaking of that, I made another one of the virtues:

And here's the previous one: http://i54.tinypic.com/20jnz1g.jpg
2/12, 10 to go... And then I might have actually learnt how to draw them euclidecaly and make proper, vectorized versions.

The next rationalist fanfiction of Less Wrong contributors should be called "My Little AI: Friendliness isn't Magic!" :-)

Excellent work, Leonhart!

No, no; the fic has to be My Little Pony: Friendship is Science.

Cooperation is Instrumental.

No, no; the fic has to be My Little Pony: Friendship is Science.

Done.

Comment author: Eliezer_Yudkowsky 23 September 2011 09:05:47AM 6 points [-]

Friendship is Science has now been revised to contain a bit more plot.

Okay, there's probably no point in nitpicking a parody, but Fluttershy doesn't have a horn, she's a pegasus, not a unicorn.

Edit to add: but seriously there's no point in fussing over perfecting such an omake. Frankly I thought the first version was somewhat better, as "Mary Sue" parodies are a bit cliche.

Comment author: Alicorn 24 September 2011 07:03:10PM 6 points [-]

Seconded on the first version being better.

Comment author: Normal_Anomaly 08 October 2011 09:39:49PM 2 points [-]

Did anybody archive a copy of the first version? I was too late to the party to see it.

Comment author: Document 24 September 2011 08:13:47PM *  2 points [-]

Also, "plot" is ponyfan slang for butts.

Edit: Well, someone had to say it.

Comment author: Armok_GoB 23 September 2011 11:56:52AM 4 points [-]

This is making me increasingly worried that I only like the rest of those omake files due to halo effect from your person and not being as enthusiastic about the originals.

Nice. Although not as great as it could be, am I guessing correctly that you didn't have much previous experience with the show or spent that much time on researching it?

Comment author: Eliezer_Yudkowsky 22 September 2011 10:16:30PM 1 point [-]

Just the first two episodes so far.

Comment author: Armok_GoB 22 September 2011 10:26:32PM 4 points [-]

Oh. Well that's more than 40 min so I'd say I were wrong then.

Also; YESSSSSSS I managed to make Eliezer a Brony! (Probably. In the future. ) :D

In case you don't have the time (or the desire) to watch the whole series, two episodes that are particularly relevant to the topics of LessWrong are probably 'Bridle Gossip' and 'Feeling Pinkie Keen'.

Comment author: Armok_GoB 16 April 2011 02:24:07PM 4 points [-]

I don't get it. Is it mocking somehting?

Comment author: AdeleneDawner 16 April 2011 02:32:28PM 8 points [-]

The indigo one is Eliezer and the yellow one is Robin Hanson.

Comment author: Alicorn 16 April 2011 01:11:59AM 5 points [-]

bwhahahahahahahahahahahaha

Comment author: Leonhart 16 April 2011 01:18:20AM 21 points [-]

I blame you both. I never used to have ponies in my utility function. And now it's 2AM.

Comment author: Alicorn 16 April 2011 01:21:05AM 5 points [-]

It is so amazing. <3

Comment author: Leonhart 16 April 2011 01:41:28AM 3 points [-]

Thank you :)

Comment author: Normal_Anomaly 15 April 2011 10:45:51PM 3 points [-]

Those are very cute, especially Bacon. But I have to nitpick: you misspelled precision.

Comment author: Armok_GoB 16 April 2011 02:23:04PM 2 points [-]

Thanks. And yea I know, lots of people have pointed it out I'm just to lazy to re-upload the image.

Comment author: Alicorn 14 April 2011 04:05:44PM 5 points [-]

Why is this pony named Bacon?

Comment author: Armok_GoB 14 April 2011 04:32:43PM 2 points [-]

Many reasons, but mainly after Francis Bacon and for the bare phonetic sound of it fitting her personality.

Comment author: Armok_GoB 15 April 2011 08:04:58PM 3 points [-]

Made another one today: http://i56.tinypic.com/oksn6v.png

I'm getting better at this. And yea the symbol to the side is the cutie mark because it was obscured by the wing.

Comment author: Alicorn 15 April 2011 10:49:48PM 3 points [-]

I like Riddle Heart as a name.

Comment author: Armok_GoB 16 April 2011 02:25:40PM 1 point [-]

Thanks! :)

Comment author: Pavitra 16 May 2011 11:05:18PM 1 point [-]

I really like the cutie mark.

Comment author: Armok_GoB 17 May 2011 10:35:38AM 1 point [-]

... you recognized/understood it? Do you study symbols and such a lot then?

Comment author: Pavitra 17 May 2011 11:16:30PM *  2 points [-]

No. What I like about the cutie mark is that it's mostly, but not quite entirely, concealed, thereby maximizing my curiosity as to what it is.

Edit: ...and I just now saw your comment explaining where the cutie mark is shown in full.
