Kalpira

Pondering about changing her pelt and mane colors. Just posting here for further reference.

Still didn't figure the owl's name out o.õ Oh well, just hope he (or she...) isn't a character that came to stay. Eww

She and Candy Cotton would go along VEEEEERY well

First year in the course of 2D and 3D animation :3

The young stallion's hammer hitting the metal could be heard all over the place, while he worked hard on a single horseshoe. It was no easy work, specially for a stallion who wasn't sturdy enough to hold the weight of metal for long periods of time. But he still had faith and determination in his young heart, a thing that forbid him from stopping. He had to help his father with the business. He was just too old to keep running it, and his son's cutie mark that kept hitting the horseshoe showed his talent was aimed towards the metals, and to work them. And that was what he truly liked and loved, making him work more and more everyday. All of his customers, who were usually knights, loved the results that came out for their armours, horseshoes, or even helmets. Too bad they didn't treat him the way he deserved... Those were the only few moments that made the somewhat fragile stallion frown and perk hi ears down against his head. Nevertheless, he had always dreamed of being a knight just like them. The first nice knight, he always said. He knew not much ponies knew about that secret dream of his, but that was simply because he didn't want to be made a fool of. That young stallion was Silver Anvil. A stallion full of dreams, passions and good will inside of his heart. As soon as he was done with the horseshoe, he tossed his long cream mane back and sighed, looking over at the training fields and dozing off for a moment, only having good thoughts to himself. How he would be brave, wear the objects he wa able to work with himself, and so on. But right now, he had another passion to saciate: exploring what was new in his hometown, Canterlot. He had heard something about a new manager running the bookshop, and he wanted to have a closer look. Hanging all of his tools and complete pieces, he headed to the outside, locking the wooden door after him and happily prancing through the path that lead to the village itself. He caught sight of several new things, but the sign announcing "New Management" really caught his attention. He took a few steps forward, and only then he saw a mare standing by the door, which made him go slightly speechless. But he shok his head and tried to shyly smile, walking towards the mare. "Why, hello there... Are you, heh, the new manager of the book shop?", he asked, his voice trembling a little bit.

I dunno why, but I dun like ponies with mustaches xD

With a lil bit of luck I'm gonna cosplay as Misty from Pokémon here in Portugal in Anicomics ^^

Can't make customs of FiM. We don't have the new series toys selling here, and I can't really order stuff...

I like it more when the whole mane cast is involved, but it was still nice ^_^ However, that owl started to REALLY annoy me at a certain point --' But I'm still glad I can watch it on Youtube, since people here don't even know what MLP is...

The little baby colored filly smiled at everypony else, loving to hear them talk so happily. She then caught one of them sketching, and she hopped happily to his side. "Oh, oh oh! And I am Candy Cotton, plushie crafter sir.", she said, proudly raising a hoof and taking it to her chest while she stood on her back legs. That was something she was truly proud of. She was that young, but she had a grown-up job, just like she kept telling herself. And her smile grew even wider everytime she presented herself, even if she wanted to look serious. After her proud presentation, she took a sneak peek at the drawing, giggling a bit in her filly-ish way. "You draw very well, sir! I wish I had your talent so that I could be able to come up with some new ideas for my plushies!", she said, almost wanting to ask him to teach her. Of course she wasn't brave enough to do such a thing, but oh well. She was happy just for watching the shapes and facial expressions he had been drawing. ((Sorry about the long time I took to reply everypony... I wanna make her cutie mark appear on this roleplay, if that wouldn't mind you ))

Silver Anvil (Kalpira) -Wakes up very early and most of the times goes to bed late -Mostly in Canterlot, either on his Armory working, the market or the training fields to deliver new pieces to the knights

Imma back! And so glad this little guy got approved ^^ Thankiies

Well, this is basically a final, just wanted to know if he's approved or not x3

Oh and BTW everypony... Tomorrow I'm gonna leave for 4 days and won't have Internet access, so I won't be able to post at all. Didna want to rush y'all, but just wanted to know if I can go on vacation planning more about Anvil or if I can already start sketching him on my free time there ^^ (I'm going to the country xP)

The young filly took a closer look at the other foal's body. So he was a pegasus! She had always been jealous of the ones that had wings, and that could wander around the clouds. See rainbows up closely, watch how everypony down there seemed to be so small, just as small as an ant! What a life. Candy Cotton had never lifted her tiny hooves out of firm soil, and even though she loved the opportunities she had down in Ponyville, but with a sight of the skies... she could possibly craft even more plushies of everything that habited in there. That could be such an amazing experience! She shook those thoughts away and smiled widely. "Wow, you have wings! That must be so amazing!", she said, "I bet that when you manage to fly you'll be the best flier around!", she then added. She was that happy for meeting a true pegasus, even more for being a pegasus that met her age.

There ^^ Completely revamped <3 What do you ponies think now?

Well yes, I thought about that as well, Mane. Actually that "crazy pony" idea went through my mind as an option to this bio, so I might redo this character. I had several ideas for him, so it won't be hard to change him x3

[ Pony Related Character ] Name: Silver Anvil Gender: Male Age: Colt Species: Earth Pony Pelt Color: Dark brown and cream hooves Mane/Tail Color & Style: Both are cream. His tail is somewhat curly and is mane is very long and straight Eye Color: Gray Cutie Mark: An anvil with a hammer over it Physique: Slim and slightly fragile, even for a blacksmith Residence: Canterlot Occupation: Blacksmith Motivation: The knights that need their armours ready and clean, because their defense is the most important thing. Without him, an army an collapse in a battle simply because they are not properly armored. So he puts his heart into his job. Likes: Metal, fire, crafting pieces, working with his anvil, knights, battles and nice ponies that come and pay him a visit Dislikes: Cold, wood, fish, evil-minded ponies, rain, knights with damaged armors Character Summary: Anvil was born in Canterlot, growing surrounded by medieval defenses, strategies coming from the knights, and gossips about battles and the need for a better defense. His father, who was a blacksmith as well, didn't really feel the need to improve his working way in order to increase the knights' defenses, either in training sessions or in actual battles. Young Anvil kept on learning how to work with anvils and metal, always fascinated about what that material could be turned into with such easiness. It was a tough job, but he didn't get tired of watching his father crafting armors, helmets, horse shoes, and much more. But the idea that the knights needed more protection didn't leave the young foal's head at the time. He spent his free time either with his dad, or heading to the training fields to watch the knights. They were just amazing, but he had to help them with getting more protection from their armours. Finding his father's workspace empty, he worked hard on an armour for a noble knight that would ask for it the next day, and it seemed to be better than ever. In the duel of that day, the knight came out victorious with a shiny armour. From that day on, Anvil helped his father with the armours and all the other metallic items for Canterlot, being well-known around for his skills. Anvil is a very sweet and generous colt, that loves to help others and make friends. Deep inside his heart, he hopes to be the assistant of a brave knight or be a knight himself. However, he knows that's a far away dream that he can't reach in a close future, since his father is now too old to work.

Daww, can I have the Griffin Chick, Mud? Pweeeeease? :3

Candy shook her head once again, sniffing a little bit and still not quite realizing what had just happened. Truth was, she had never been able to control her naughty horn very well. But she couldn't wait until she was an all grown up filly and she could be able to control it. Because most of the times, it ended up messing up with her craftings or even with her playtime games. And the worst moments were when she had a cold, and kept messing around with her house. Which amazingly made her nanny laugh truly hard. "This messy horn starts to gimme lots of trouble...", she mumbled, taking a few steps to reach for Starlight. "I still can't control the lil ammount of magic I possess.", she said, her ears perking down for a moment and a little frown showing up on her face. Even though she knew she couldn't quite take a hoof on her magic, that made her feel embarrassed when her horn worked out when it shouldn't. It was hard to get used to it... But she had to pull herself together and show she was no scaredy filly and it wouldn't be because of her almost helpless magic that she would hide from the world. She smiled soon after and her ears perked up again. "But I'm glad I helped!", she squeaked, hopping in her spot for a moment. "Now the Mud Miss will be able to see her mud!", she then added, sounding even happier.

Candy felt relatively sad when she was told there were no flowers in there. She could use quite some of them to embelish her plushies, crafting them with natural elements. But when she caught sight of another foal like her, she took a few steps in his direction and smiled widely at him. She knew he was feeling embarrassed and pretty shy, but she loved everything in new friends. Specially in those of the same age as hers... She cocked her head to the side and smiled. "Starlight? I'm Candy Cotton.", she said, cocking her head to the other side and then looking at the plushie over her rear. "And this is my little bunny.", she said, making the plushie jump a bit on her back. She looked back at the rainbow maned foal. "What seems to be the neigh all about huh? Something wrong with this mud cart?", truth was, she hadn't even realized there was some sort of a problem going on in the spot she had just arrived in. While she awaited an answer, she looked around and saw another stallion she still hadn't seen, looking at him closely. "Wish I had magic in my own horn that could help you out with... whatever it is.", she said, sighing as sadly as her honest heart told her to. Little did she know how wrong she was. When she looked up at the stallion, his red mane had tickled her small nose, which made her twitch it quite some times and try to avoid a sneeze. However, it was helpless. A huge sneeze -for her size that is- came out, making her be projected backwards. But it wasn't the only thing that had happened with that sneeze. A little ray of light came out of her blue horn, hitting the branch on the wheel just in the right spot, but without Candy's control. It broke into tiny pieces, disappearing right away. The young filly shook her head in amaze, looking around.

The young foal was going off, prancing happily by the side of the road, and hopping to the middle of the trees every now and then. A little pink bunny plushie seemed to be resting on her back, but for her, it was mounting her and entering her joyful games. It had been, of course, a creation of her own, made with the patches she had found along her way on the previous day. Little Candy just loved to explore Ponyville all by herself, even knowing she was pretty young and couldn't risk getting in danger. Her nanny was at home, tidying every single one of her hoofcrafted plushies and her own bedroom, which was usually a mess because of all of the games she played in it. She stopped, inhaling the sweet scent that danced among the breeze. With her eyes closed, her nose started to catch some weird scents. Flowers?Could it be? A smile formed on her sweet little face and she found out her way right in that moment: follow the road. She just had to find the source of that magnificent and earthy smell, that could give her so many ideas for plushies. Yes, it was weird to think that way, but that was the way little Candy Cotton's head worked at the time. All the time, plushies in her head. She pranced for some more time, until she managed to catch sight of three ponies around a cart. And the cart was full of... something that discouraged her big fancy smile to keep growing. It actually smelt like something pretty different actually, something she didn't quite know what actually was. She took a few steps to reach for the small group, and poke her head in the middle of them. "Do you have flowers in there?", she asked who seemed to be an older filly.

Sorry about asking, but could you tell me where you got the template of your foal image?

Well, I'm in an animation course, and I think I can understand some of those errors... For the painting, it's exactly what everypony's been saying: when there's a tight schedule over one's shoulder, an animator just rushes rushes rushes and uses the same colour several times. As some of you might know from Photoshop, painting a drawing includes many layers. In these cases, the background ponies or for example the cakes over the table were in some layers that needed to be filled. To start off, the storyboard is a guideline for any animator. The changes of plans, camera visions, or mood swings of the characters are all scratched up quickly to have an idea of how the episode will be. Then, they enlarge those spaces and fill it with animation until the next sudden animation "frame" (let's call it frame, because in a storyboard there are very few of them), and unlike main characters, the background characters have no 360º mirrors before they jump into colouring and animation, They are just drawn up and set into stage. Since to make close-ups and similar animators still use transparent paper, it is possible that several parts had gone missing from sheet to sheet.

For the young Candy Cotton, it was just another day of fun in the middle of her plushie wonderland. Most would say a foal shouldn't be doing such a hard work everyday, but what they didn't know was that Candy loved to do that more than anything in that world. She mumbled several songs to herself while she crafted teddy bears, bunnies, ponies, and even little critters with her own hooves and mouth. And when she was done with one piece, she laughed out loud to herself and started a new one. "Which one did you do now? A bunny?", asked her nanny, approaching Candy with her light trotting and making a smile grow wide. Candy turned around quickly, still giggling. "Nope. Just another teddy bear. My favorites!", she said. Her nanny made a short pause, dee within her thoughts. "Hmm... what if that teddy bear could tell you you are his favorite too?", Candy seemed puzzled after that. Even more when she saw her nanny's horn lighten up and her teddy bear start to blink his eyes and come to life right in front of her. She blinked several times, and when she rubbed them it was too late and her teddy bear was running to the outside through the front door. "HEY! COME BACK HERE!", the foal yelled at the top of her lungs. She raced the purple plushie as fast as she could, but still it wasn't enough. Without noticing, she bumped on a tall golden stallion and only managed to see her plushie run away in the gap between the stallion's legs. "COME BAAAACK!"
