WillowWisp

well based on her name, aqua drop, why not a drop of water splashing into ripple rings? literally an aqua drop, so to speak?

I think one of the best things you can do is just doodle. Go out with a paper pad and a pencil and draw what you see. There is no right or wrong, because we all see the world in a different light. But drawing from observation is a great way to get started. Don't fuss on small details either. Look at objects and see them for the bigger over all shapes and forms that they are. That is one mistake a lot of people make. They want to start drawing but they get so hung up on the little details that the over all image ends up being less than they expected. There are also a lot of helpful tutorials on DA, and a good old standard anatomy book is a great reference for any artist. I know you can get animal speific ones as well. Asa for ponies, if you're trying to emulate FiM's style, simply watch an episode, paused it here and there to see the angles and character movement. Then work from observation and draw what you see. It won't be perfect the first time, and it may take a lot of practice, but you'll start to find your own knitch and style. Personally I have a sketch book that I just scribble ideas in. They all look blocky and rough, but it's just to get my ideas on the page. If you were to look at that then my polished finished images, you would think two different people did them. Just remember to take your time.

awww he'd be a great pony for Grim to look up too in the writing department. :3 I hope they can meet in an rp.

Honestly as off key as the singing was... I couldn't stop laughing that they made themselves into an 80's glam rock band. A nice nod to when ponies first were made.

I got White and I'm loving it. The story this time is so much more indept and it actually feels more challenging. As much as some of the English names irk me, I think the game is a great addition to the genre. Definitly worth a play!

I thought I would bring this over since on the other forum the thread got hijacked by mindless chatter... So I was thinking, while I failed to sleep... usually when a story has something like the "Elements of Harmony" there is an inverse as well. Like the balance of good and evil, because one can not exist without the other. So that got me wondering if there are "Elements of Discord" as well. Generosity - Shelfishness Kindness - Cruelty Honesty - Deciet Laughter - Despair Loyalty - Undependable And I suppose Magic would still work as the sixth since there has always been the "light" and "dark" sides of such. ...am I thinking too much about this? hah.

Oh I bet her and Willow Wisp will get along. Two spooky ponies, awesome!

I have a Fluttershy and a Rarity on my desk. They're the ones that come with the little animal friend. And I'm going to get getting a set of the McD's toys in the mail. :3

I'm...24...almost 25. Hah hah. My friend told me she was watching it and I was like...they made a new MLP? So she gave me the link. And I instantly got hooked. I told my boyfriend and he was like...what? But then I made him watch it and he got hooked as well. He's even beaten me to watching the new episodes when they come out. Hahah. Seriously we both look foward to Fridays now. XD

Thanks both. And I'm sure we can. :3 I'm always willing RP.

Thought I would take a moment to say hi. I came from the other board our founder was part of. This looks to be set up very well and I wanted to join in. Not really sure what else to say but... Hey!

((last one I swear. lol)) [ Pony Related Character ] Name: Grim Tales Gender: Male Age: Foal (Apple Bloom and co. age) Species: Earth Pony Pelt Color: Denim Blue Mane/Tail Color & Style: Gray with purple-ish streaks. Mane is swept over one eye somewhat. Tail is fairly straight. Eye Color:Purple Cutie Mark:N/A €€œ But he hides that by always wearing his saddle bag over his flank with a mark he hopes to have on it, a ink well and quill Physique:A little on the scrawny side for a boy Residence: Lives with his older cousin Willow Wisp Occupation: Student Motivation:To become famous writer, hoping his Cutie Mark will be something in that vein. Likes:Writing, Reading, Quiet places, Spiders, Gray and Rainy days, Listening to stories and Studying Dislikes:Loud noises, Bright sunny days, Running out of ink, big crowds, Sappy stories and Spicy food Character Summary: If there was one word to describe him, it would be gloomy. He hardly ever smiles and is often heard sighing. It's not that he is unhappy, it's just he doesn't show it in the way most do. He was sent to live with his older cousin after she moved to Ponyville because his parents worried about his lack of friends. He looks up to his cousin Willow Wisp because she tells wonderful ghost stories, in his opinion, and she doesn't give him a hard time about being rather quiet and anti-social. Though she does make sure he goes to school now that he's staying with her. Embarrassed that he still doesn't have his Cutie Mark, but is sure he knows what his talent is, he always has his saddle bag over his flank so it covers. He only takes it off when he's in the safety of his room. Quiet and often appearing cold and grumpy, most ponies his age tend to just stay clear of Grim. Extra: He has a hard time writing, so he has the help of Scribe, a Silk Writer spider. These are a type of spider that are able to understand language and often weave words into their webs. But Scribe uses ink to write on paper for Grim. He is not full grown, about only a 1/3 of the way; currently 4 inches around.
