We have had ponies made out of pipecleaners, felt, paper, and pretty much everything else non-lethal you can think of, so why not add another one to the list! This is a wireframe pony contructed by an artist named David Deuchar at Indiana University. Apparently something like that takes fourty hours of work! I have to admit, I didn't even know this medium existed outside of the 3D modeling in the virtual world.
Now we need to make a giant one and convert it into a bridge! Wouldn't that be neat..?
Comments Derped on the other one! You can find the old stuff here.

Is this Blogger's fault? Ever considered Disqus?
ReplyDelete@Lupon
ReplyDeleteI think Blogger may be having some issues lately. Hopefully they are resolved eventually. Disqus couldn't keep up with eqd!
@Sethisto
ReplyDeleteAh, I hope so. It's unusual that it happened twice in a day or so.
Our numbers are breaking the Internet evidently.
ReplyDeleteCool! Unfortunately I cannot identify which pony this is. Just a generic FIM-styed pony?
ReplyDeleteI agree it should be a bridge.
ReplyDeleteid love to get my hands on it..and then cover it in sheetmetal then paint!!!..thats my kind of medium
ReplyDeleteEverything non-lethal, eh? I wouldn't be at all surprised if some soldier-brony out there planted C4 in a fun pony shape.

The bumpy mane makes me think it's Pinkie Pie.
Create poni out of ALL the THINGS!!!
ReplyDeletewe must brainstorm new things to make ponies out of...
Fabric? -check
clay? -check
pipe-cleaners? -check
wire frame? -check
Legos? -check
paper? -check
3-D printed stuff? -check
snow? -check
Lazers? -check
"Everything non-lethal, eh? I wouldn't be at all surprised if some soldier-brony out there planted C4 in a fun pony shape." -close enough XD
All right: new challenge: carve Applejack's face in an apple/Carrot Top's face in a carrot/etc: Vegetable and fruit ponies!
We also haven't used cardboard, rubber, PVC, Styrofoam, pewter, sculpted gypsum , wood carvings, 3-D puzzles, carbon nanotubes, or epitaxially-grown thin-film computer chips. Make it happen, bronies!
I had a couple more ideas, but I think I'll try them myself.
Amazing makes you think of what can really be done.
ReplyDelete@Dr_Vulpine That'd be pretty cool. The actual sculpture looks like Rarity in my opinion, but as another poster pointed out, the curly mane of the concept art looks more like Pinkie Pie.
ReplyDelete@Mike
ReplyDeleteActually... you can cross a few more off that list. :) Though it's not done yet.
You can barely even see the fucking thing!
ReplyDelete"-pipe cleaners, and pretty much everything else non-lethal ..."
ReplyDeleteSo... No one has made anything pony useing supposedly lethal methods?
Challenge Accepted. I will make a pony out of bullets. Or fire.
...
Or both, if I can figure that one out.
You call it a "wireframe sculpture", but I'm pretty sure it's one of those frames for making bushes grow into particular shapes.
ReplyDeleteHmm looks like Rarity perhaps?
ReplyDelete@Simple
ReplyDeleteGood to hear! I expect all these things will be crossed off the list in a month anyway.

ReplyDelete1:Take a large peice of thin aluminum sheet metal
2:Shoot holes in it with a bee-bee gun in the shape of a pony
3:Lay the sheet down on the ground and detonate gunpowder beneath it so that the fire comes out the holes in the metal.
4:Capture explosion w/ a high-speed camera.
5:???
6:Profit!!!
And that's all there is to it: making poni with guns and fire.
@Dr_Vulpine
ReplyDeleteNo, not a giant lego pony, this:

and If I recall, someone made a Vinyl Scratch robot that could bob it's head to music.
I have much bigger plans: more like what you were talking about, in fact.
Author of the fellow!! Waiting for the finished sculpture!
