Greetings, conscripts! Does the evening find you well? Did you put on your beret like I asked you to? No? Twenty demerits! This is not a game, you know!
Now, for these games, you're going to need to remember the rules of engagement. You kept your pamphlets, right? Well just in case, here they are again. To make this even simpler, here (Currently Down!) is your submission site. If you're having problems, your contact frequency is phoe@equestriadaily.com. Feeling lost? Here's some great tutorials from your friends in the original ATG alumni. Get it? Got it? Good!
Day One: Welcome To Camp, Soldier!
Today has been a whirlwind affair, to say the least. You're not quite sure how you got here, or indeed where here is, but for the moment you don't have time to think about it. There are ponies, ponies everywhere, scrambling about or doing push ups or patrolling about and forcing others into lines. Also, you have hooves... Huh. As you stand there trying to get your bearings, you are approached by a gray pegasus clad in ornate golden armor. She looks you up with one eye, and down with the other. After a long pause, she nods her head in something not unlike approval.
"All right," she says with a voice that is entirely too adorable for battle hardened visage she's been keeping to this point, "I won't lie. Last time we held these games, the griffons beat us into the ground so hard we found potatoes. They haven't let us live it down since. But now? Now that all stops, thanks to all of you. I bet you have a lot of questions, and rest assured you will get answers. Eventually. Probably.... Maybe."
"Uh... excuse me." Calls a pony somewhere to your left.
"What? No time! Follow me, all of you. It's time to get you dressed."
Assignment: Draw a pony wearing armor or a uniform.
Pencils up.

ReplyDeleteArmor ponies GO!
ReplyDeleteQuestion: can the armored pony be an OC?
ReplyDeleteLike one of the EqD staff.....?
Lets do this!
ReplyDeletetotally doing this
ReplyDeleteAh, yes!
ReplyDeleteYes ma'am!
ReplyDeleteTime to suit up!
ReplyDeleteFirst?
ReplyDeleteOh, Phoe.....XD
ReplyDeleteI am LOL'ING SO HARD at what Phoe had typed!! I think that I remember her saying something about a degree or a job or something in writing. Screw grammar, it's not my specialty.
Awesome. A drawing assignment, just before I get ready to go to bed... :P
ReplyDeleteaw yeah, let's do this!
ReplyDeleteCurse you slow computer!!!!
ReplyDeleteBut... I don't like to show people my scribles D:
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping that I don't botch this up too badly. *Nervous laugh*
ReplyDeleteI look forward to everyone's submissions! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteHere we go!
ReplyDelete@ombutscentdin This is war, soldier! There's no room for your petty excuses! This is why you are here. To get trained. For battle!!
ReplyDeleteCan i draw like an engineer pony uniform? Somepony has to design the weapons and armor right?
ReplyDeletedamn fact that I own no sort of camera or scanner... CURSE YOU NINETEEN NINETIES NOKIA PHONE! lol
ReplyDeleteFirst post here on EqD for me! And first time drawing ponies! It will be horrifically awful, but I'm looking forward to it even so!
ReplyDeleteI should probably sleep, so I guess I'll start this in the morning haha.
ReplyDelete24 hours? Brainstorming GO!
ReplyDeleteNerves be damned, let's do this!
Now to dig my tablet from under a pile of cds and get reacquainted with SAI.
Already overwhelmed.
my first time drawing... it's on!
ReplyDelete@Blizzard Rush First post ever?
ReplyDelete@Bombedrumbum
ReplyDeleteokay... *wimper*
@CityFlyer502
ReplyDeleteFirst ever!
@ombutescentdin Don't feel too bad. We're all nervous to some degree. I've barely got a handle on my tablet, yet I'm going forward with this. I have to! I will contribute something to this fandom even if it's a stick figure pony.
ReplyDeleteSir. yes sir
ReplyDeleteAlright. Lets try this out.
ReplyDelete@Blizzard Rush Awesome! Welcome!
ReplyDeletePencil........WHY YOU BREAK?!?!
ReplyDeleteTo the fire with ye' first draft!!
To the fire with ye' second draft!!
Eh.......maybe when i'm not tired......

ReplyDelete@Blizzard Rush
ReplyDeleteWELCOME TO THE HERD!!! :D
@CityFlyer502 Thanks! ^_^
ReplyDeleteI heard them say we reached Morrowind....I'm sure they'll let us go...
ReplyDeleteQuiet! Here comes the guard...
@sirikta MA'AM, NOT SIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDelete@CityFlyer502
ReplyDeleteWell all I got is paper and 72 colored pencils... I gues I should go make a Diviantart account then. No excuses not to do this now :)
Aww Man! Commander Phoe sent us to boot-camp! Sargent Derpy Is Issuing Our Armor!! WE HAVE HOOVES!!!
ReplyDeleteAww Man, They've gotten me all excited. :D
@Bombedrumbum Thank you, too! /)(\
ReplyDelete@ombutscentdin I have a DA account, but no idea how to use it :)
ReplyDeleteCommander Phoe.
ReplyDelete*salutes*
It is an honor to be serving under you again.
I won't let you down.
@Blizzard Rush
ReplyDeleteSo, what lead ya' to here? A friend? The internet? What?
I MUST GATHER MY THINGS!!!
ReplyDeleteUpon reading this, I immediately got an idea. it will not be a military uniform, per se but rather a fictional "special forces" type that will mesh well a fanfic I'm working on...
ReplyDelete@Bombedrumbum Same here. My DA account was only meant to comment on stuff...OK, I did want to someday contribute some art. Oh well, no better time to learn huh?
ReplyDelete@ombutescentdin On a whim, I bought a tablet last week. Looks like it's going to be seeing some use this week, and hopefully several weeks after.
ReplyDeletewat do?
ReplyDelete-stay up all night and lose half the day
-sleep now and be the last one done
@Bombedrumbum Ya I'm wondering this too.
ReplyDeleteThe EQD rules for art say don't send in OCs. I was hoping to use my OCs.
@CityFlyer502 I can really only do poor sketches :)
ReplyDelete@Discord make it as chaotic as possible
@CityFlyer502 I have a very old tablet that is my current labtop. It's cooling system is broken, and the screen is cracked
ReplyDeleteWell, time to forsake my sleep. And draw armored ponies! Right after I am done drawing twi rading a book <3
ReplyDelete@CityFlyer502
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty much in the same boat. This seems like a great time to start learning. ^_^
GENTLECOLTS: START. YOUR. PENCILS.
ReplyDeleteHuh, too bad the royal guard I'm working on right now is for someone else, and is more vectorized than drawn.
ReplyDeleteAt this point, I'm just trying to draw something that remotely resembles Fluttershy. LOL
ReplyDeleteOh good god...why did it have to be armor? I'm horrible at practical stuff!
ReplyDelete@Fedge Well, that's why we're here. For the experience...and to pwn some griffons!!!
ReplyDeleteNow if only I could draw...
ReplyDeleteI read Derpy's lines in you-know-who's voice. I have to; there's no other way to read her lines but in BaldDumboRat's voice. (A.k.a. PierceSmoulder. Does she ever comment here?)
ReplyDelete@Bombedrumbum Referred and brought into Bronyhood back in the summer by TotalOverflow. Been lurking EqD since then, but decided to get involved with this event!
ReplyDeleteDONE!!
ReplyDeleteEeeeee, I'm so excited!
ReplyDeletePonies in armor, coming up!
Only you, Phoe, could turn an artist training grounds into literary event. Can't wait to see all of the submissions!
ReplyDelete@DE Fluttershy
ReplyDeleteAlready!? Ive barely had time to make a basic applebloom sketch, let alone draw armor for it.
"The griffons beat us into the ground so hard we found potatoes."
ReplyDeleteI laughed.
@Blizzard Rush Well what matters is that you're here. Get ready for a wild ride...in a good way, of course.
ReplyDelete@Blizzard Rush
ReplyDeleteI was brought into BronyHood in summer as well!! I foraged my own, lonely way, though.....
INB4 SKRIM PONIES
ReplyDeleteHerp ditily derpy Skyrim
ReplyDeletePhoe how are you so literarily advanced? All the things you post are so amazing ~
ReplyDeleteI already have some great ideas, but sadly, it's 0130 for me.
ReplyDeleteIts barely been a month scince I became a Brony, and now I am doing this... Well I always belive in trial by fire...
ReplyDeleteLET'S DO THIS (university permitting), LEEROYYYY JEEENNNNok I'll stop.
ReplyDeleteAnd submitted!
ReplyDeleteAdmittedly, I didn't have the most original idea in mind, but HERE WE GO.
This will be the first time I've actually participated in the fandom, unless you count a few very sparse comments on posts, which I don't.
ReplyDeleteI wish you all the best of luck, which I'm certain I will NOT have. ^^
Phoe, we need to hear from you more. You are truely a great leader, and I am honored to serve under you. I shall comeplete your assignment to the best of my artistic ability and talent!
ReplyDeleteHonestly though, I wouldn't mind Phoe taking over again! I mean we got ice-cream, brushies, and Lyra! What's not to love?
This is gonna be a long night. So far, everything I'm drawing looks like a hybrid between a llama and a rubber duck. Good thing I'm on a tablet, or there would be a pile of scrap paper at my feet.
ReplyDeleteso OC ponies are a no go...
ReplyDeletedarn
im assuming personas are treated the same
mine was actually done earlier by chance
but no personas means its time to find my fluttershy refs
Ok I have my rough sketch done, and I'll finish the rest tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteLet the arting commence!
ReplyDelete@CityFlyer502... Lucky, I'm up to my neck in atrocities.
ReplyDeletewow this has made me re-realize how bad i am at drawing.
ReplyDeleteI draw light and erase often, no scrap here.
ReplyDeleteI can already tell my drawing skills are gonna fail, but LET DO THIS! or atleast try...
ReplyDeletethis will be my first time ever drawing a pony . . . and all i got is a black pen and a piece of blank paper oh and an ipod camera. At this moment in time i am sending a warning to what little Deviant Art watchers i have that there will be incoming craptaculer art. LETS DO THIS!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, I forgot how ocd I am when it comes to my draw lines ;_; "everything must be perfect!"
ReplyDeleteHehe I'm already having fun even if I'm going slow.
My fireplace is going to be burning bright tonight!!! AH-HAHAHA!!!
ReplyDeleteI am going to take the plunge and participate this time round. Time to showcase just how strongly I favour writing over drawing! XD
ReplyDeleteI can.t draw ponies....sheesh.....
ReplyDeleteCANS.WMV
@littlefoxkid Actually this is a great time for OCs. We're supposed to be humans turned into ponies to assist in the war games.
ReplyDeleteBut I feel like stretching it and making a Spartan(Halo) Pony. :P
My art skills may not be the greatest, but this is way to awesome to pass up. I even made this account so I could participate!
ReplyDeleteIma make a pony with Hub/Hasbro armor/cutie mark
ReplyDeleteI tried to put a comment on here from my phone and not sure if it worked. I don't see it here so I guess it didn't and forgive me for repeating myself if it did. Okay, so I saw the headline about an ATG and I missed the one last summer because I wasn't a brony then, so I'm definitely not missing this one. Anyway, I saw the headline and I dropped everything I was doing (my homework) and began to draw. I had an awesome idea. I spent a good 2 hours drawing. I took a pic and followed the instructions in the pamphlet for the submission process. Check. Yay! My first ATG drawing! A few hours later, I come back here to see what other drawings were submitted and instead I see this post releasing the theme. I had drawn a pony in a mock war scene because that is what I thought the theme was. Nope! You see, I thought the theme had already been given. So forgive me Phoe for the picture of Vinyl Scratch I drew deflecting an apple pie with her record shield. XD
ReplyDeleteDear Princess Celestia,
today I learned that you shouldn't jump the gun but instead read the directions or instructions carefully and not be such a dumb@$$.
Your faithful student, Brony001
Hey, does anyone know if we are limited to any specific art mediums? I was about to fall asleep when my brain decided to give me a crap-ton of ideas: sidewalk chalk, henna/body paints, fabrics, etc.
ReplyDeletewait is anyone else here REALLY bad at drawing?
ReplyDelete>_____>
I did a sketch of a pony but...let's just say the self portrait Twilight Sparkle put up on DA in that one comic compares favorably to mine <_<
@Brony001 hey, I do everything from my phone
ReplyDeleteI’m already coloring a pony in grunt uniform.
ReplyDeleteI can probably sketch a pony in armor for EXTRA CREDIT!
When i go to preview mine, it won't show up -.-
ReplyDelete@Eric
ReplyDeleteYep, I just spawned a mutant horse with a balloon for a head. I'm practicing my eraser skills at the moment.
Question...
ReplyDeletedoes it have to be drawn?
Well, I've made some progress. Now what I'm drawing vaguely resembles a pony. But I've still got lots of work to do if I want to put together something decent looking. If I'm gonna send in something, it's gotta be the best! No cutting corners for this brony.
ReplyDelete@Dͪ͊ͦḮ̘ͯS̔̐̓C̹̔Ã’͓͙̫R̀͠͞D͙̫
ReplyDeleteYep!
@Discord probably not. Use your photoshopped picture. It'll do fine
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteJuxtaposition.
ReplyDeleteJuxt
A
Positiiiiiooooooonnn.
My brain obviously does not want me to sleep tonight. I've decided that for one of the days I'm going to decorate a cake!
ReplyDeleteI can't paint for shit, but for some odd reason I can work with icing extremely well!
hey quick question. do any of you know what name im supposed to put into the submission box? do i put my real name or my equestria daily name or perhaps my deviant art name. I have so many names and now I am so confused.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDelete@coldshoulder I'm pretty sure it's whatever you want, but I would probably go with your deviantART name.
ReplyDelete@Sethisto
ReplyDeleteAww... i'm a Photoshoper not a drawer
@Discord it's fine.
ReplyDelete@BadMan171
ReplyDeleteok i will do it with my deviantART name.
Hmmm... Could the armor be an armored robe?
ReplyDelete@Kyzenex Assassin's Creed: Bronyhood
ReplyDeleteWelp, I should not have looked at that tutorial. Now I have the mindset that said quality is what's expected of me, no matter what the reality of it is.
ReplyDelete...I really don't want my submission to be part of the reason we lose the war.
So we CAN'T use OCs? I'm a little confused xD
ReplyDeleteHeh... Didnt cross my mind till you pointed it out. Well, i still have plenty of time to try out ideas, and to see which is best
ReplyDeleteIf you are having trouble putting your pony into different poses, I'm finding the Pony Creator on Deviantart to be a useful reference.
ReplyDeleteFirst real attempt to draw anything remotely looking like a pony (or anything else for that matter). LES DO DIS!
ReplyDeleteDerpy's wearing an eyepatch. How the hay is she able to look us up and down with both eyes?
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteCan anyone answer the OC yes/no question? It would be nice to know before I get to far into my drawing.
ReplyDelete@LemonLimeMan
ReplyDeleteIn the last ATG it was fine to use OC ponies as long as they stuck to the theme so go ahead.
so excited to be participating in this! Second thing I've participated in, mostly been lurking since July. -grins-
ReplyDeleteMay buy tablet before too long. After seeing the awesome talent in the December draw off, I don't think i'm getting one. n_n
Anyone else photographing their entry and posting it that way?
@CamiCube Yup, that would be me doing that, though most likely the first picture will be scanned... maybe
ReplyDelete@CamiCube
ReplyDeleteI'll probably be phone-cam'ing it like a pro, if I can ever figure out how to put the ideas and pictures in my head down on paper. The translation through my hand doesn't seem to work a lot. :/
God does this fandom cares about each of his members heh, to make someone who never EVER draw the smallest of things to embark in a full adventure like this? Darn I can't shook myself off this one.
ReplyDeleteBut... I did put on my beret
ReplyDelete___
|___\
{6_6}
I uploaded my picture! Hopefully it will be liked, yeah? Royal unicorn guards forever!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I just submitted mine. It's not very good, and I'm a little nervous, but hopefully it comes out alright... (0_0')
ReplyDelete@Haze
ReplyDeleteNot quite certain about the "caring for each member" part of the fandom, but hopefully expectations aren't high going in. I do want to art for this, but I have a feeling the exceptionally amateurish level of my artwork will draw a good bit of ire and mumblings of "actual effort would be appreciated," when said result actually DID take actual effort. We'll see.
I've had a few ideas rattling around for a while- I'll try and get one done but today is the one busy day of the week for me :-(
ReplyDeleteI should go to bed but I REALLY want to draw this... SCREW IT WE'RE DOING IT LIVE
ReplyDeleteWell... I have a normal armored pony done... Now to draw the armored robed one, and decide which on to submit...
ReplyDeletemy first pony picture EV-ER is done and submitted and you know what i love it but i still think it is TERRIBLE at the same time. Thank Celestia I am only doing this for fun.
ReplyDelete@Bombedrumbum Remember that now everyone has a smartphone. I sure don't. My phone runs out of cache memory just from loading EqD. I really can't do much with it at all.
ReplyDeleteThe submission site appears to be down right now...
ReplyDeleteI can't draw at all...
ReplyDeleteAlthough, I'm still gonna try it!
@Blizzard Rush Congratulations! Welcome to the herd!
ReplyDeleteREADY MY ADORABLE SOLDIER? TO ARMS! FOR EQUESTRIA! CHARGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI like this assignment its a shame I put down the mighty pen and paper about 5 years ago, im trying to get back into it though. never should have stopped if only I knew, if only I knew. (:'(
ReplyDeletethis will rock so cotdamn hard omfg
ReplyDeleteI submitted a pic last night before the description and all I can say is thank Celestia it fits the description otherwise that would have been 5 hours of my life wasted!
ReplyDelete@coldshoulder to me the art style doesnt matter, i just cant wait to see everypony in action! looking forward to them all :D
ReplyDeleteDoes it have to be colored? Cause i dont have any colored utensils around here at the moment...
ReplyDeleteMa'am, Yes Ma'am!
ReplyDelete*gets to draw before taking the company's mascot out for a walk*
@Sethisto
ReplyDeleteWait, only drawings allowed? Are Vectors still ok, as long as you make them yourself?
@Kyzenex doesnt matter, just whatever you can get I think, they just want your drawing for fun not works of art so dont worry about a lack of materials it's all in good fun ^^
ReplyDelete@Kyzenex
ReplyDeleteI'm kinda wondering about that myself. I've finished the actual drawing, but since I don't have anything to color it with, it just seems totally unfinished.
man did I improve my style, too bad I had to hide most of it under thick armor XD
ReplyDeletetry to submit via link, got sent to Ron Paul campaign site.... weird...
anyway looks like I'm emailing it.
Ahem.... Ron Paul?!
ReplyDeleteAs an Australian, I think I have the right to say... The Hell is this?
Er yeah, so time to submit art, and I get Ron Paul'd?
ReplyDeleteLooks like Phoe's email is gonna get its ballot stuffed.
I've been looking forward to another artist training grounds for a while, but sadly right now is exam time so I won't have as much time to draw as I would otherwise D:
ReplyDeleteOh, I'll warn you guys now: I take no responsibility for eyes being gouged out by looking upon my abominations that I dare call art. Gaze at your own risk!
ReplyDeleteI got sent to a Ron Paul site from the submit link... wut.
ReplyDeleteI'm getting a Ron Paul redirect, too.
ReplyDeleteAm I geting Ron-rolled? (Or is that Paul-rolled?)
On the other hand, I've finished my "art".
If only I could draw to save my life.
ReplyDeleteWell... i'll upload it to DA now, and send it in later, i need a bit of sleep...
ReplyDeleteI'm way ahead of ya... I send a pony in armour BEFORE this was posted...
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see these drawings.
ReplyDelete@Masquerade I know the feeling, the most I can do is stick men and even they look like crap.
Finished and sent to Phoe's email.
ReplyDeleteI'm not the only one getting a Ron Paul re-direct. It looks like the host's site got re-directed. Worry not guys, Phoe'll take care of it when she gets her rest.
In the meantime, I'll keep the pencils scribbling and drafting.
I'm with wispy Spirit on this one, accidentally jumped the gun and submitted a piece before I realized we weren't even given a topic!
ReplyDeleteSubmission site has changed to a "SUPPORT JOHN PAUL 2012"
ReplyDeleteUnless he's a brony, I'm not going to move to America and vote for a guy I've never heard of. YAY FOR AUSTRALIAN BRONIES
I have many, many hats, but sadly a beret is not one of them. Will a white hard hat with a potato-powered headlamp glued on do?
ReplyDeleteYa know, College is starting off pretty slow, and I'm really damn excided about this. I might be able to put some time aside for this. Just don't expect full color for a 24-hour time limit.
whats with the submit link
ReplyDeleteronpaul2012?
I finished mine :D
ReplyDeleteWell, I've got something done, but the submit script isn't working. Firefox just reports that the server is taking too long to respond. Either the server really is too busy, or my connection's screwing up on me again.
ReplyDeleteSo we have to submit this?
ReplyDeleteIf any of you guys have a Deviant Art account I would love to see some of your drawings! My name is Fiven on there and I'm just starting out, but I do like to look at others art.
ReplyDeleteAhhh, the perfect choice of topic...
ReplyDeleteWhy can't the other blog authors write like Phoe does?
ReplyDeleteSeth and Cereal and the new guys are so... blunt by comparison.
Done!
ReplyDeleteSubmit link is still down, so I guess this is going through an e-mail.
@ FlareFlow: I have a Deviant Art account at chaosdx1.deviantart.com if you really want to look around. Don't spam it! :P
so what do we do now, seeing as the submit site is down? flood someone's email with our crappy drawings? cause i got one ready to go right now
ReplyDelete@Bombedrumbum - "@sirikta MA'AM, NOT SIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
ReplyDelete"Sir?!" DO I LOOK LIKE A &@%*#€¥ STALLION TO YOU?!!! Do I appear to your milky white civilian eyes like a pampered royal ass? Do you secretly dream of colt-cuddling me in some dark, Celestia forsaken corner of the barracks? Well, miles, are you or are you not a colt-cuddler?!
This miles here seems to be confused as to his sexual identity! I am not a stallion and those miles that cannot keep this straight WILL be getting intimate with the stable floors.
You will not refer to me as "Sir", neither will I hear "Ma'am" exit your fodder holes when addressing me, for I prefer to work for a living. You will refer to me as MASTER CENTURION DERPY!"
I'm not going to have a chance to work at it until later tonight (I'll prolly miss the deadline), but I'm thinking of trying to use this uniform as reference: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oQxf1FBUgSY/TTYGKDsc0vI/AAAAAAAAAzU/KY06C-yMBgE/s1600/wwii_volunteer_nurse_corp.jpg
ReplyDeleteWe'll see how much of a disaster it ends up being...
Hm, do i have to send my crappy pic now per email?
ReplyDeleteCause i got one finished just now (first time i drawed something actually^^;) but the link to submit is down. D:
@ FlareFlow
ReplyDeletemy deviantART account is lazzyX if you want to see my terrible first ever attempt at drawing a pony in any pose.
I also have warhammer40k miniatures that will soon be apart of a my little pony friendship is magic themed space marine army I call the Celestial Equines chapter. so far I have a finished Rarity and have work in progress pics of applejack and pinkie pie. So as I said if you want to check them out my deviantART name is lazzyX (yay for shameless self promoting)
So, i´ve send Phoe the gruesome picture.^^
ReplyDeleteCan we post a link here in the comment thread to receive a bit help/critics of much better artist to improve the pic or does we have to wait for Day 2 to see all pics submitted?
er...I have many names. my current and most likely permanent name is Toaster Repairpony, but my deviantart name is spikeshi, and my name on EQD, youtube and everything else is Firespikez. I hope that won't be too much of a problem.
ReplyDeleteand good luck everyone!
Quick Questions: It's OC pony only, yes?
ReplyDeleteAwww, submission site down? What do now....
ReplyDelete@gogglesparks
ReplyDeleteDoesn't have to be OC - Phoe just said, "Draw a pony wearing armor or uniform". As long as you draw it, and it's identifiable as a pony, you're golden.
@ombutescentdin
ReplyDeleteWell, apparently everyone is sending theyr submissions to Phoe's e-mail, guess we should do the same.
@Ritsuko Mithos Ikuina Fuuin
ReplyDeleteWell, okay I suppose I do that then. Thanks for the info!
"self portrait Twilight Sparkle put up on DA in that one comic"
ReplyDeleteUh... link to the comic please? That sounds awesome.
Just sent Phoe my godawful picture!
ReplyDeleteIf anypony wants to see my drawing refer to this: http://twitpic.com/85pxdc
ReplyDeleteWas doing my own project, but read about this event.
ReplyDeleteGonna try my skills and upload my piece of art As Soon As Possible.
I decided to go with the whole mock war thing. Me summond by Trixie to fight the griffon army with water bloons.
ReplyDeleteSo I did a ponyfied self portrait of me wearing armor.
@Onix Wow, that's great!
ReplyDeleteIs there a limit on how many we can submit?
ReplyDeleteAnd here's me, writing a fic about uniformed ponies. Serendipity!
ReplyDelete@Onix
ReplyDeleteSo much better than my pic. I need some MLP episodes now, way better than alcohol to fight depression. :P
@Onix
ReplyDeleteThat's godawful? You mean our stuff is supposed to be better than that?
Please tell me our stuff isn't seriously supposed to be better than that.
Wait do I send the pic to Phoe since the submission site is crashed?
ReplyDeleteHow did I miss this post last night? Well, hopefully I get this finished and submitted in a reasonable amount of time tonight. >.>
ReplyDeleteJust submited mine. Hope it's good enough.
ReplyDelete"To make it even simpler (CURRENTLY DOWN!)"
ReplyDeleteDerpy uses MASSIVE DERP
Mail I guess :P
@Daisymare
ReplyDeleteBetter do so, i and others have send the pics to Phoe. Better safe than sorry, right?^^
