Sprout Music: BlueBrony & Drummershy - Insomnia (Sprout's Friday Night) [Jazz]

Part of the compilation album VibePoniez New Leaf, BlueBrony and Drummershy's tasteful collab is about Insomnia but not only, as it's associating the concept with Sprout from G5 and his chara depth! From BlueBrony's words, "He seems like the kind of pony who doesn't really have anyone to hang out with on Friday nights, and the stress from his incompetency at his job contributes to his anxiety, which could manifest in insomnia". I so love tracks expanding on specific characters' chara depth and backstory!! Please savor this very chill and delightful musical experience cooked by the musicians everypony!

My Little Pony Speedpaint Compilation #206

We haven't had a speedpaint post in a while. For whatever reason this side of the fandom seems to be a little bloody, so getting 3 clean ones submitted is pretty rare. Why are you so violent speedpaint peoples?

Discussion: What Would You Do To Contibute to Equestrian Society?

You've been teleported to Equestria! Unfortunately, that brony dream of getting a free house/living in Fluttershy's basement/taking a room at Twilight's castle didn't pan out, so it's time to get a job and start earning some bits!

You have knowledge from a completely different dimension. How do you use it to thrive in ponyland? Is it time to introduce the iPone? Or maybe you just want to find something that only hands can do.

The choice is yours! What is your Equestrian career path?

My Little Pony: A New Generation - How a Shot Comes Together

 

For those of you looking to get into computer animation, one of the animators from the movie posted one of the scenes they did and showed the steps it takes to make a scene come alive. It's pretty cool to see each step taken and all the work that must be put into making just one scene.

G5 Movie Song Remix: I'm Lookin' Out For You (Yellow Tune Remix) [Hooves Up]

Fillies and colts, I think we've got our first ever remix of I'm Lookin' Out For You, a song from the movie that I personally cherish a lot because of the very wholesome and Equestrian vibes with the two new friends helping each other and being here for each other! (who wouldn't ship them after that!) Yellow Tune here does us the honor of giving the cheery and cute song an EDM version, going for his signature Hooves Up route and delivering the uplifting synths and punchy beats!

Alternate EQG Concept Album & Video: Skyshard - The Borderline [Soundtrack]

Definitely among the best solo album releases of the year in the community, Skyshard's 42-tracks masterpiece of a story-powered album is SO incredible and commendable, with not only the amazing music but the story and the video too!! You really shouldn't sleep on it!! The whole thing is almost 3 hours long, but it's very much worth it listening to it all while following and reading the story in the video like I did!! The story that Skyshard has imagined takes place in an alternate EQG world and there are some big twists and hidden meanings awaiting you among the intense and epic adventure and the tasteful inspirations. The music is just so fitting to the story and was designed as soundtrack for it, and you will be able to experience that journey jourself as if you were there. There's even lots of SFX for more immersion! As for the video, it has visual effects and the story carefully set up and displaying all throughout!

I recommend listening to the album while following the video of it on YouTube that has an intro and the story for each track displaying all throughout!

Find the video experience here or embedded after the break, and download the album on Bandcamp here!

Discussion: For the Equestria Girls Fans, What Made You Like it?

Back when Equestria Girls was first announced, the reception was less than kind. Not many people were hype for a humanized pony thing, since a lot of us were here for the cartoon equines in particular. Something changed though if that poll is any indication. A lot of people ended up liking Equestria Girls in the end.

So what was it about humanized horses in high school that kept all of your interest? Did you go in disliking it, and if so, what converted you?

Concept Art From a Cancelled Generation 4 My Little Pony Movie Appears!

Apparently Generation 4 has more than one movie in the works, or at least the one we did get had a large chunk of content that never made it. Pablo Mayer who you may remember from that nonstop concept art flood a while back has popped up a few pieces he worked on for what he calls an unfinished G4 movie. Some of these cityscapes look absolutely amazing. Hopefully they end up doing something with them some day!

Fanfiction Updates - December 29th

Twilight's a good witch. Read a fic about that and another below!

Fanfiction: Sunshine

 [Drama][Romance]

Author: Butterscotch Cream

Description: Sea storms are a nasty but well-paid business: the business of Mobile Ops Pegasi Stormfighters. The small, pet-like "storms" cultured on mainland are nothing by comparison and hardly deserving of the name. Tempests on the ocean have no master. They're monstrous machines of pure untamed brutality. Only cruise-liners or larger naval vessels maintain teams large enough to actually waylay a storm of such scales, and even then each pegasus has the work of five. 

Smaller ships with only a team of four, like The Bumbler, could at best hope to make the weather a little less deadly in anything stronger than a squall. By the mediocre standards of most inland ponies it would seem cruel to send two pegasi out in such conditions, but that's what they are paid to do. And the more dire the storm, the more necessary their job.

KFC In Indonesia Is Apparently Getting Some Generation 5 Pony for Their Kids Meals

Over in Indonesia, KFC runs kids meals with the usual fast food quality toy you'd expect to find from other chains. A post over on their Twitter page is hinting at some G5 My Little Pony Love in the future as you can see in the screenshot up above, and later followup tweet showing off the full mane cast here. Early 2022 is when we can expect to see what they have cooked up. Hopefully they migrate these guys elsewhere if they end up actually being high quality!

Thanks to RainShadow for the heads up.

Fanart Being Stolen and Turned into NFTs - How to Find Your Art and Report It

 

With the rise of NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) there has been an increase in art theft as of late where unscrupulous companies are taking fanart from not only our fandom but others and minting them into these tokens for sale. Art websites like DeviantArt have implemented a system to check for theft of art for NFTs but that only covers a small part of our fandom and not every theft is seen so we're putting out a general PSA on one website, in particular, that has been driving a fair number of these thefts.

OpenSea is that website in particular and I have been seeing its name make the rounds around Twitter. If you're an artist it would be worth checking the site to see if they have taken any of your work without permission and reporting it.

Check on after the break for the full breakdown!

Hitch Charity Calendar Becomes a Reality!

 

Knowing our fandom I should have known this was going to be secretly in the works from the moment the movie came out! A bunch of artists from around the fandom have come together to make a charity 2023 calendar of our boy Hitch that will become available for pre-order on New Years Day!

They haven't decided on a charity yet but it will be animal-related as it fits Hitch and his animal magnetism. You can vote on the charity here.

Fanfiction: On a Riverboat to the Sea

 [Slice of Life][Drama]

Author: Jarvy Jared

Description: You can neither escape nor forget the life you lead, much as Twilight Velvet wants to. Though proud of her children, she can't deny that being known only as the mother to two of the most powerful ponies in all of Equestria hasn't been easy. She'd like to forget her doubts, though, and a riverboat cruise seems like the perfect opportunity. 

 

But still: you can neither escape nor forget the life you lead, regardless of whether it's the one you thought you'd have. But that's not what matters. Sometimes it takes being on a riverboat to the sea to remember that.
