I've been in the games industry with the early part of my career doing pixel pushing, so I couldn't help myself when I saw this, and made some corrections to your pony. Hope you don't mind.

There's a sort of "mathematical" formula with how pixels are formed to create a smoother curve, and plus adding antialiasing makes it look even smoother, while still remain pixel-glam. Hope that may help.

omg... you certainly made that 20% cooler.

That definitely looks better.

What kind of stuff have you done, anyways? I only ever did sprite editing and minor pixel art during MUGEN's height, lolz.

So, I've been following an ask Tumblr for a bit now, http://askpinkaminadianepie.tumblr.com/. (Warning: One post (maybe two) on this is NSFW (but funny anyway))

I find this tumblr both adorable and disturbing at the same time.

This is awesome. Pretty NSFW, though.

I did a shit-tonne of pixel art for handheld games back in the day, including GBA, N-gage, PSP, and DS. Some of them were rather big names, but I'd rather not divulge. Did a lot of environments, characters, and special effects.

They actually made some games for this abomination? Wowza.

Yup. Proud to say that we made the best N-Gage game there is. Proud because the game also would have rocked if it was on GBA, not just because it was no-contest.

Here's one of the special effects I made for that game on N-Gage. Took me about a week's worth of pixel pushing to do. 16-colors:

Anyway, that tumbler pony... she's got a sort of weird sexually charged allure about her, coupled with her rather twisted hobbies... it's quite creepy...

 

[tiff]

That's probably the coolest thing that was ever on the N-Gage.

 

[Quinnjaminn]

Coolest thing ever on the N-Gage? That's possibly the coolest sprite animation ever.

Ehh. This part of the fandom I could definitely live without.

Didn't know some fans dislike the term brony either. It does emphasize the male fans even though I'm sure there are a lot of female adult fans of the show too, but it gets the job done.

 

[Uchip]

thats not much of a compliment

That's awesome. I swear, its that level of immaculate detail that scares me about animation--hours of work, yet fleeting.

Oh hey, so MLP:FIM is back on the air (cable) in Canada.

Treehouse is supposedly airing an episode in a few minutes (2:30 AM Pacific).

Also, official Celestia propaganda.

Edit: Well, that was kind of cool. On the plus side, there's no commercials (I guess ratings aren't even a factor on Treehouse). On the minus side, the stuff before and after the show is worse than commercials.

Edit2: I should probably post the rest of the character videos.

Twilight's vid says that Twilight can do anything... if Celestia tells her how to do it and Twilight's underlings do the actual work.

Rarity's vid mentions a life goal that I've never seen mentioned before.

Pinkie apparently doesn't work for the bakery. She volunteers.


Edit3: Hasbro's Canada site says that MLP:FIM has three timeslots, Wednesday 6:00PM, Saturday 9:00AM, and Sunday 9:30AM, but I guess maybe there's some rerun slots or something, because none of those are Monday 2:30AM, not even with time zone confusion.

New Carek comic

I think this and the pinkamena tumbrl are more disturbing that some (well made) human ponies, and yet some people cry when those are posted and no one says anything about this.
Come on, im not saying some human pony art is not bad, but there some really good ones out there that could good in this thread without crying the same as good pony art (and the same as pony art can be bad and disturbing, and would not like to see much of it on this thread).

I just ignore the grimdark and stuff like that comic. I've just accepted that people are going to post it anyways.

It depends on various factors like how low your emotional guard is. The purple pony is unsettled by what she probably saw as an unsolicited lesbian experience. The suggestion of gay-rape can make many different readers feel many different things.

 

[Songbird]

The suggestion of gay-rape

Say what, now?

 

[Myke Greywolf]

Oh, come on. That could interpreted as harassment at the most, and we all know that it wasn't intended that way. Not saying that it is something to be endorsed or glorified, but one would need to be exceptionally sensitive to make an issue of something like this on the Internet. The artist is just playing around with the notion of how cartoon logic and actions could be interpreted by their actors in a realistic fashion.

 

[meltingparappa]

Oh boy, time to catch up on pony posts from over the weekend.

Suggestion of-- whut.

Carek did it again.

Looks great, carek! Thanks for completing my nonsensical request!

i would not want to live in a fanbase that didnt have the pinkamina tumblr.

Same, the tumblr's got some serious style. The more diversity and variety in these fan works, the better!

Yeah, maybe that's why I wouldn't really call myself one either.

"She is responsible for raising the sun and the moon"
"She is the only pony with a unicorn's horn and pegasus wings"
I'll grant you that the first one is debatable unless there is official word that Luna did or did not resume control of the moon when she returned, but let's see you defend that blatant piece of anti-Luna propaganda DrForester.

 

[Nishastra]

It also says that she creates darkness in Equestria. That much at least is true!

Poor editing on the part of whoever made the video. Celestia can't oversee every tiny detail. There's no question that Celestia loves her sister.

 

[Ellis Kim]

I receded that pixel art submission. In retrospect, its a cool "painting," but it doesn't serve well as a shirt.

That said, I haven't given up on the pixel-art aesthetic... its just that the pixels need to be bigger, and more graphic-design-y.

 

[Nishastra]

Yeah, I really like that picture, but it's way too... complicated for a shirt.

Also, pixels for life!

I don't find that comic distrubing at all. On the contrary, I think it's pretty funny. I can easily appreciate the inherent humour of applying real world logic to cartoony situations. I don't mind the supposed "creepiness" of this particular comic either. I find some of Carek's art to be somewhat creepy, but even when it is, it usually also manages to be adorable and/or funny. Case in the point being pieces like this:



That said, I guess that Pinkamina stuff crosses some kind of line for me. It doesn't offend me and I can even appreciate it from an artistic viewpoint; after all the art is very impressive (apart from the human poses, grrr) and it captures the grimdark mood perfectly. However, I don't like it, and I don't see the appeal.

So to sum it up: humorous sexual innuendo and tasteful light shipping: ok. My favourite pony depicted as a mass-murdering psychopath: not ok. But I can live with the fact that some people like that stuff too.

You're getting pretty good at them ponies.

 

[Owlowiscious]

but i was going to buy that shirt

although seeing your final design I think i liked yellow eyes more because the red eyes would be hard to see on theh shirt

 

[Ellis Kim]

Edit. You know what, forget it. I don't want this to bother me all day.

OK, I first thought you all were crazy for watching this. But after watching the first episode I was immediately hooked and finished the first season in one sitting.

I'm happy to have taken a "hop, skip, and a jump" into the Pony pool.

I also managed to get my older sister to watch this as well (she thought I was crazy), and she ended up liking it as well.
