• Newbie Artist Training Grounds: Day 11


    I'm a puppeteer edition. I'm not going to be able to type much today, because I need to spend this time icing my poor little hoof, which I burned on the stove trying to cook a late night snack for myself. Words are agony. Efficiency of words, go go go! A veritable explosion of ponies! 275 cosplayers attended tonight's convention.

    Daily reminder of the submission guidelines. Send questions or entries in case of script failure to [email protected] Don't stop being awesome, ever. Keep drawing, keep having fun. You're the best students a blogprincess could ask for.

    The Theme of the Day

    Draw a pony involved in a rope trick. Rodeos, magic shows, and... um... other things rule this day. You score bonus points if the pony of your choice botches the trick. You gain triple points if it's a pegasus, as figuring out the impact of rope caught on wing is the most complicated visual among those possible. At least, I think so. Secret quadruple bonus points if you figure out exactly what I'm hoping to see.
    A lot of points on the line tonight, and who knows what you might be able to redeem them for come the end of June?


    Some of you were very excited for today, and very very zelous: multiple artists submitted multiple entries. This is fine. In fact, it's awesome. If you can draw more than one pony in a day that fits the theme, then I'm happy to feature them. That said, I decided to limit the number I'll take from any one artist to three. If you send more than that, I'm just going to pick my favorites and axe the rest. This was a very fun day, and I had a lot of fun trying to figure out what all of you were referencing. I got a bunch of it, but a few of you were beyond my scope. Great stuff! Step through the door to another world..

    17. #269 here. Y'know, it's funny: up until today, I don't think I've seen a single Ponified Captain Jack Sparrow. Tons of Pony pirates, but nothing from Pirates of the Caribbean specifically. Kudos to #94 for coming up with the same idea I did, looks great!

      Mine (#269) looks terrible because I didn't have time to actually finish it. I gave up on drawing any more and scanned it literally at 11:58pm Pacific. Way too close for comfort. If I could have revised this before adding it, I would have cleaned it up quite a bit; perhaps changed the face angle, added his tricorn hat, a sword, etc.

    20. #1 here! I'm dissapointed that there are only 2 Gurren Lagann references, and mine is definitely the lesser of the two. All in all, some AMAZING ones this time around, but an astounding lack of Luna is enough to make me despair.

    24. #243 here. I'm perfectly okay with not receiving a pun; the only thing to poke fun at is the game's emphasis on THE LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS LIGHTING THE DARK LIKE THE LIGHT'S DARK IN THE DARKNESS OF THE LIGHT.

      So yeah, don't worry, Phoe; the cop-out's appreciated.

    26. #186 here. I'm glad I got a Phoe comment on this one.
      For those who don't get it, the bandaged pony is Shishio Makoto from Rurouni Kenshin. Applejack is dressed up as Sanosuke, and she tries to nail with him a (powerful) hoof punch to the face. Unfortunately, Shishio will take the hit(smile it off) and strike back with a vengeance.

      #142-Beatrice as a unicorn pony.Cool
      #226-Did not expect the Mighty Boosh to be slipped in there.
      #228-So, I'm not the only person who likes Rurouni Kenshin.

    38. #141 here. I will never attempt shading again, at least until I attempt shading again. And that tube on the helmet turned out much flatter than I thought it would. Ah well. I felt good drawing it, at least. And now I sleep and dream of Samus Sparkle, delving deeper and deeper into the thorn jungles of Brinstar on Planet Zebes.

    41. #235 Here. When I saw that the topic was crossover, I couldn't pass the oportunity to make a homage to one of my favorite games, ICO. (Yeah, the background is a little bit misleading, since it comes from Shadow of the Colossus. I just wouldn't have time to draw a background since I was already running out of time when I finished the drawing proper, so I had to cheat on the background. Sadly, couldn't find an appropriate screenshot of ICO)

      Anyhow, I'm pretty pleased with the result on this one. Again, thank you ever so much, Phoe, for organizing this wonderful event. Actually, I want to take the chance and extend my thank you wishes to everypony participating in this. You all rock, each and every one of you, and today's submissions are there to prove it. Keep it up, everypony!

      So, uh... 273 here. I wanted to add Vinyl Scratch with winged turntables as Lyrica and Pinkie Pie on Trombone as Merlin, but I am really slow at art. <.<;

      @Anonymous YES. YES IT IS. Brohoof, my good sir, for having excellent taste in webcomics.

      @Avohkah Tamer Pssh it looks fine anyway! Several steps above terrible. IMHO.

      18 - Prinny, dood! Nopony throw her anywhere... >_>
      10 - does this make it okay to ship LinkXEpona now o__O
      13 - *inhales* spaaaaaace~ [/fluttershy]
      15 - This is perfect, Rarity loves gems! *makes drone noises*
      40 - Game and Watch pony ftw. You can't tell, but she actually just pulled a 9 hammer on some hapless pony. *OBNOXIOUS RING SOUND*
      43 - Nausicaa is awesome. This drawing is awesome. ...now how about ponified ohmu... O_O
      46 - What about... Horrible Sparkle? Yeah I got nuthin'.
      60 - The only question I have is when Twilight said "I know..." who was she talking to? (secretly shipping Twilight/Luna :3 but that would make Luke Celestia >.< darn...)
      61 - They have brown fur. Brown coats. Browncoats. I see what you did there.
      71 - Okami is awesome! woooo
      82 - Cubey! Cutie Cube! So many names, not enough time to cuddle her... >>9464
      85 - Lyra within Lyra? LYRACEPTION
      87 - QUOTE! <3 Also, good point Phoe. ...awww, Toroko... [/nostalgia]
      98 - *hums Kefka's theme* One of my favorite villains ever. Great music too.
      100 - the important question is, is he faster than Rainbow Dash?
      105 - I RECOGNIZE YOU! Careful around that attractive mare, Laharl!
      143 - HEY! LISTEN! WATCH OUT! HEY! HELLO! aghrhghaghg
      147 - FFFFFF YESSSSS <3 SO AMAZING
      156 - I think that Pony!Kirby would look creepy eating things... >.<
      158 - YUSSS Ninetails is like my favorite boss EVAR. She's so great. Such a great atmosphere for a boss fight...
      159 - more okami! DO WANT
      173 - quick! Run her over with a parade float and send her back the the depths of Pr'teh!
      211 - Ness? Rinku? ...yo-yo Kirby? :3
      220 - I feel like having Twilight as the good witch would add more contrast between Trixie's lack of skill as the Wizard of Oz and Twilight's own bosstastic powers. But then again Rarity would make a terrible -wicket- -wicker- wicked witch...
      Also yes Fluttershy lion is best lion. <3
      228 - it's Kenshin!
      236 - My Little Zuko~ aka ANGST ANGST ANGST ANGST
      238 - There you go! It's a pony with a keyblade. Our fandom isn't a failure anymore!
      239 - And here's another one! I swear these submissions come in patches o_o
      244 - That's a nice hat. You know a filly isn't afraid of anything when you see them wearing a hat like that...
      253 - That can't be good for his neck D:
      254 - ...for some reason I feel like shipping is imminent.
      269 - again, it looks pro anyway!

    56. #42 reporting in. What do you know, I'm again at the best possible number.

      Not really surprised I was the only one to come up with an Animorphs reference, since it is a bit obscure (but awesome) book series. But once the idea hit me, I just HAD to do it. Rachel doesn't seem to happy about though... and Octavia's not either, it seems.

      Reference-flippin'-overdozed page. Props if you can indeed catch every single reference here because at least I couldn't.

      Hmm. Rope tricks. Trix? To do what Seth wants or not? For that is the question...

      I can imagine. I was all ready to go to sleep but now I'm too damn giddy to go to sleep. Right now, the only way this could be better is if MetalPandora could pump that picture up to a full 1920 x 1080 wallpaper size. Would have also liked to see Etoile ponified but I already got a lot more than I thought I was ever gonna get.

    69. I was holding our for a Black Rock Shooter pony as well. Sadly I've only ever seen two such pictures.

      I must say though, THREE cornet ponies. I nearly woke the neighborhood seeing the initial one but three made me nearly...gods among me those artists must be.

    72. 116 checking in. I changed it a little from the movie because I figured Dash would probably be sharp enough to realize she's a toy, but would be completely diluted about the fact that she was such a seemingly girly toy. Maybe I'm over-thinking it, but it was a lot of fun to do.

      I'm a little surprised how many of today's crossovers I didn't get. I guess I'm a bit out of the loop, especially when it anime and video games. Still, the art itself is as great as ever. Keep up the good work, everypony!

      113) Eeee, Ghost Trick~ The game's and FIM's styles overlap almost surprisingly well.
      147) Oh man. Ridiculously gorgeous~~
      152) O-ow, god, that punched me RIGHT in the nostalgia. D: I can't believe someone else knows that game. (Incidentally, if the doll bodies really WERE ponies, I think this game would have been far more popular.)
      160) CHALLENGE ACCEPTED. (Maybe it's about time for you to defy some gravity, El-- I mean Luna. ♥)
      178) If we could plant a Fluttershy on our lawns, we'd never have to worry about zombies again.
      250) Do not have words for how much I love this. ;-; ♥

      Great job, everypony. :D


      @who Ah haha, you know, I was so tempted to draw Etoile pony. Possibly asking Rarity to make 1 million bit dresses. But alas, I was lazy. (Still might happen eventually though, because this was much too fun.)

      This was actually a cool topic because everyone came up with some surprising things! I thought I'd see tons of Harry Potter but I think I was one of the only ones. (222) I was going to do Celestia as Dumbledore but I got lazy ;_; I totally think Harry would have gotten his Cutie mark after arriving at Hogwarts, because I think its finally then that he doesn't have to resign to being the good-for-nothing his surrogate family always presented him as.

      42-Wow, I'm super happy someone did Animorphs. I was thinking then that maybe I should have done an Andalite pony, but lo and behold, 232 did one!!

      Hahah. Looks like I got a couple of comments. That game is cool: and abandonware now, so it's free to download and play on DOSBox. I've gotten it, but haven't gotten around to playing it in the first time for a long time. All in all, happy with how this came out. I was only drawing still lifes or objects made up of geometric shapes before the training grounds, so these drawings I've been making for it are really a step up; I'm shocked they're coming out as well as they are.

      Loved 6, 7, 10.. and it is at this point that I realised the scope of glancing through all 274 other images, and decided to just say: this is awesome.

      Who at Guybrush Threepwood did poke fun.
      If but more time I had,
      A pirate cow I was going to add.
      I'm glad that Phoe does know the game,
      So my joke I did not have to explain.
      And as for 112 by Alipes,
      Celestia with her mane flowing in the breeze.
      Does indeed LeChuck's beard resemble,
      Of it's creepy memory I still tremble.

    122. @Fox E:
      That Spoony Bard is a reference to one of my favourite FF4 characters Edward, and uhh I dunno Outrageous is a level in Super mario world (i doubt thats it though)

    123. Hey, BlazBlue bronies- I drew a Ponified Haku-Men, so if you want that leave some sign on my completely empty dA (can't upload from an iPad.) and I'll see if I can't get it to you. It's not all that great though. I think the two I mentioned and arakune are next up.

    124. 10 : Who says you can't ship Link with every female character in series? Yep, even Epona. Requesting Humanized Epona now.

      160 : Lyra!
      She come to town,
      Come to save the Princess Bon Bon,
      Nightmare took her away,Now the ponies don't play,
      But they will when Lyra saves the day,
      Hallelujah!

      Now Lyra,
      Fill up your hearts,
      So you can play your harp with power!
      And when your're feeling all down,
      The fairy will come around,
      So you'll be brave,
      And not a lazy coward!

      Now Lyra, has saved the day!
      Put Nightmare in her grave!
      So now Bon Bon is free,
      And now a hero shall be,
      Lyra, I think your name
      shall go down into history!

      175 : Its from Wicked. And I didn't have to look at the other comments either! *flex*

    125. I'm wondering if Phoe or somepony is going to take all the images submitted to this activity and make a video of them, much like Parry Gripp:

    126. #51 here. Gurren Lagann! Glad I wasn't the only one. It was nice seeing entry #1 as the same theme I chose. Rainbow Dash would totally fit into that group. She likes to kick reason to the curb and go beyond the impossible :D

      Lots of great entries! Big props to the Rurouni Kenshin, Dr. Horrible, One Piece (Shanks! :D), and Borderlands ponies. Oh, and the weighted companion pony was very cute and clever.

    127. @McGack That's actually right on both accounts. =P Very nice, wasn't sure anyone would get it!

      And who doesn't love rabites? They're adorable like parasprites, except they don't swarm as hard.

      @Anonymous I love you.

    128. 210 here. I couldn't find the time to color it, but it's Coraline as a pony. Maybe coloring it would have gotten it more recognition :/

    129. This blog got so much cooler (200%, in fact) since not 1, but THREE Rhapsody Pony Pics popped up on here (don't you love alliteration? :D)

      *Highhoof*

      Glad I'm still original on four pony cosplayers.
      I tried to pick the most obscure but distinguishable characters.
      I was going to dress Luna up as Kamina, but that'd be too easy and Gurren Lagann's been done a lot.
