Thanks! I have been away for a while haha. Busy attending cons and Cosplaying as of late! 

Hey All, I am returning from a REALLY LONG Hiatus. The last time I was super active here was in 2013 or so which was back in my bachelor/sophmore year of college. I am now in grad school. 

Time to see if anyone remembers me from then! 

Welcome back! I just came back here myself

I believe they will announce the big names later on. The main worry here is Galacon, which I dare to call a rival convention. It takes place on nearly the same date, so the VA's and staff will be split between the two cons.

So Bronycon just hit 2000 ticket sales. I can only assume there will be more and more with the summer coming up.

Its your costume, but something to consider is that Naked Snake doesn't wear a black outfit like Future Twilight to my knowledge. That would be more fitting Solid Snake who doesn't have an eye patch. Snake Plisken in Escape from LA does wear a black outfit. Of course creativity in a cosplay isn't exactly unknown

Very true. I am trying to match the image above as much as possible. I will be wearing a black outfit (underarmor to simulate the sneaking suit) under my costume, so it will show through in regards to the similarities to Twilights sneaking suit. The on;y differences is that I will be wearing military bdu's over the suit.

Sorry bud, but I am going along with the cosplay.

Well, TBH I was going for more of a Naked Snake Twilight (Metal Gear Solid 3 inspired), with camoflauge suit based off the image. Not of Snake Pliskin from the Escape From series.

This image serves as my inspiration.

Hello there everybody! For Bronycon 2013, I have begun work on designing a cosplay of Twilight Sparkle (Since it is male, I guess Dusk Shine would fit better.) But this cosplay is based off of the Future Twilight character design, which is directly influenced by the Metal Gear Game series' character, Snake.

Now, I planned to base the cosplay off this character: Now, The main question is, what other decorations could I put on it (Other than A twilight wig, ears and horn) to make this look more like Twilight Sparkle than just Snake.

See, the issue with me going to Big Apple Pony Con is that I will be at College around that time, and it will be difficult for me to get there while dealing with Schoolwork.

I just noticed on the Wikipedia page for BronyCon that they only expect 6000-8000 people. Not 10,000.

Well Big Apple Ponycon is probably going to be awesome, but they haven't announced anything yet unfortunately. Good thing is that the con is run by the makers of BroNYcon, so it will be very good. I luckily found a bunch of people willing to split a hotel, so all is set from my end in regards to BroMDcon.

I WILL be going to Big Apple Ponycon once they announce the news for it.

The choice for me was rather easy, for two reasons:

1. I have many more friends going to BroMDcon (new name I came up with) than Otakon

2. I am more invested in this con, as I watch only a small amount of anime, namely Hellsing and Gundam. Plus, NYCC has all the Gundam I will ever need, so it doesn't bother me so much not going to Otakon.

We are in general agreement on these parts. I think they *could* have made a 4k-6k jump if they stayed, now I expect 2k-3k and no more. Still a successful con, but stifled.

As for the NY bronies, they can try Amtrak:

(Admittedly, maybe not the best schedule as I spent one minute looking it up.)

This is the Amtrak Schedule I am using. A round trip is really cheap, only 49 dollars. http://tickets.amtrak.com/itd/amtrak

Baltimore eh? I guess a change of scenery would be nice. I thought last year's location was fine. It had hotels conveniently around so I don't think overnight stay was a problem. Was last year's BronyCon that crowded they needed to move? I only went Saturday so maybe I missed the big day everyone came.

Saturday was the big day, so yeah. I hope they move it back up north eventually.

If it's in Baltimore, unless I have my license by then, there is NO way I am going to be able to go to this con. NY was fine, Meadowlands was a breeze, but Baltimore?! 3 hours

There is always the option of Amtrack! $49 from Penn Station in New York isn't unreasonable.

I agree with you 100% Starswirl. I don't think the con is going to grow that much, if not decrease due to the move. It is called BroNYcon for a reason, and moving outside of the tri state area has caused numerous issues, and a feeling of betrayal to the fans who expected it to be in NJ or NY. Also, is the Early Bird only for the first 500?! That is ridiculous! I feel betrayed, but going is not out of the question for me, so I am not sure what to think.

Hello all, I am unsure if anyone has found out yet, but BroNYcon 2013 has been announced! The location, which is in a bit of an odd spot, is in the Baltimore Convention center. The con will be 3 DAYS from August 2nd to the 4th, They are selling tickets at this time at a discounted price of 65 dollars for a limited time for "early birds."

So, I plan on going, and perhaps we could plan a meetup or some other kind of thing like we did last year. What about you guys?

In response to the request...

Hey, perhaps you could do my character Sydphony. He is the one in the avatar on the left. He is a bit of a kind soul and is giving. Maybe him sitting under a tree playing his guitar would be kind of nice, or if you want, have him and his marefriend sitting together under a tree, I will leave it up to you

. I can link more pictures if you need.

Hmm. Perhaps you could do my ponysona. His special talent, master of all things Gunpla and Wargaming.

Seeing as my previous request was sweeped away due to the clean slate, lets put him up again, shall we?

I'd be interested.

After a long hiatus from this summer, I am back to continue RP'ing and hanging out with you guys and gals.

Hmm, maybe you could take a swing at my Ponysona.
