Can someone please archive this till I have a better idea as to what to do with him?

Thank you!

New pony, Glass Glow. I wanna get him up for rp soon, I hope.

OH man!! how freaking beautiful!!!

i seriously have the BIGGEST weak spot for black cats.

my last cat, who was the best thing in my life, to the point where i am FOR CERTAIN he was/is my guardian, was a black cat.

sadly i had to put him down 2 years ago on dec 5th.

hardest thing in my LIFE.

the vet let me hold him as she put him to sleep. it was just his time and he told me he needed to go.

i still cry, i still miss him, i still see his last moments so vividly everyday.

cherish your baby, she will be your life.

D:> what beautiful faces!!

srsly

how do people get such amazing pictures of their pets?!

look at mine!

they suck!

XD

is mishka a blue siamese?

i love rescue stories~

they warm my heart (kinda reminds me i have one).

i'm an odd one though, i don't like poodles much, and i hate goldens.

but get them together i LOVE golden doodles.

XD

he is cute, though, and its great that you are now giving him the home he deserves.

my dog, darcy, does the same thing when i'm really depressed and i go into crying fits.

she REFUSES to let me cry, so she gets in my face, tail wagging, giving me kisses and

WILL NOT leave me alone till i laugh and smile and give her attention.

pets are just amazing when it comes to our emotions.

they know, and they do everything they know how or can to help US.

unconditional love.

humans can learn from them~

[colour=#000033]Nightmare Night. A night that Spectral had yet to celebrate since he was a very young colt. Why was he even bothering with this year anyway, since many years prior he stopped completely? Well to be honest, a stallion, such as himself, stuck out like a sore thumb. Especially at night simply because of his mane, tail and fetlocks. It was very, very uncommon for a pony to have spiritual energy in place of actual hair, and though that was not really a reason he stopped going to Nightmare Night, it was a huge preventive for him to go and socialize. [/colour]

[colour=#000033]No, Spectral Frost stopped doing Nightmare Night because he was made fun of for a costume he made, a simple make shift suite of a dragon, equip with duct tape and cardboard. That night he was so upset, he never wanted to do it again. Though tonight... tonight held special meaning, least to him. Going into town meant he had high chances of running into Willow Wisp, his old friend, and then maybe they could spend the evening together playing games or such. So, with hopes high and spirits in full, Spec dawned his best costume for the night. The blue stallion had gone out several days earlier and purchased the finest silk shirt and cape and paid a craftpony to make a mask for him, so without a doubt, this year was his best costume ever.[/colour]

[colour=#000033]Spectral looked at himself in the mirror as his fellow wisp floated about his head, a white ceramic mask covered only half his face, while he wore a long sleeved, off white shirt, a blood red vest, topped with ruffles at his neck, and a long black, flowing cape. leaving only his mane to be seen in the pale moonlight of the event. Phantom of the Opera, a classic play, but so fitting for him. Nerves struck his stomach like a heavy weight, causing him to frown slightly as he looked to his blue friend. [/colour][colour=#40e0d0]"Well, I'm off. I suppose it would be good for you to stay here at the graveyard, away from other ponies. I'll be back after midnight, if everything goes right." [/colour][colour=#000033]He said with a nod before he turned to the door and headed out to the gloomy yard he lived on.[/colour]

[colour=#000033]The tombstones were perfect backdrops to his costume, though Spectral new this was not where the event was taking place, and so, he opened his wings, bunching up his cape upon his back, and took flight into the night sky. It wasn't cold, but the thing with Spectral was that when the moon was high, he felt cold, and mist flowed from his nostrils as if it was mid winter. A spell gone wrong, by the mare he was hoping to run into. It didn't take long at all for Spectral Frost to arrive into Ponyville, landing softly just feet away from the town center, and boy was it crowded. Panic seemed to run through him, and while he was a friendly stallion, he was not real socialized with much of the town. His ears dropped as he trotted along and looked at those that hurried by, most of the costumes were actually really fun, and one thing he noticed, was that not a single mare or stallion had taken notice to his mane. Meaning tonight he was fitting in.[/colour]

[colour=#000033]Spec relaxed a bit, folding his wings in and taking a much slower pace, and was soon enjoying the night. Ears propped back up his pink eyes scanned all the little games quickly, almost as if it was all too much for him to take in. Oh this was exciting, he hadn't felt like this in years! Once he came to a small clearing, he paused, took a moment to look around and get his barrings, seeing what all he was interested in, and that was when he saw an apple stand for candied apples, and a smile grew upon his muzzle. [/colour][colour=#40e0d0]"That looks delicious..."[/colour][colour=#000033] He said to himself, though losing that smile quickly as his ears once again fell. [/colour][colour=#40e0d0]"Though I wish.... I knew where Willow was... tsk. We should have planned this ahead of time..."[/colour]

[colour=#000033]Should have, ahh... but Spectral, gatherings like these are meant for new friendships to bud....[/colour]

finally got this one finished and out of my head!!

took me all night, but i finished it!!

right?! that's my problem.

though i have a terrible tendency to put the idea immediately to canvas.

and that leads me to trouble.

maybe the pony's who don't make it here, i can actually auction off on dA or fA.

we'll see.

Hopefully I can find a pony that will fit one of your future themes! I just love your work.

you're already on the list, tales! you've been on it since day one. hahaha

i just haven't had a good idea till last night so yours should be coming soon!

I second this!

i'll be putting him up for adoption when i finish his picture.

i'll open up an adoption thread soon to see if anyone will take my pony designs.

LOL

but for now:

new character for an rp group that's based off of air gear.

have yet to see it, but its like jet set radio and i'm ALL over that.

sadly at this time i'm on a break to finish what i have left.

please check back for when i re-open and have a new theme up. :3

a little white dress?

maybe i took it too far? OTL

ok, i got a LITTLE carried away, gerrard.

it took me a lot of time too, longer then most.

SO MUCH DETAIL! OTL

your anatomy is getting SO good, willow!!

new unrelated to pony art. kinda?

its a pokemon gijinka mixed with kingdom hearts? HA iunno...!

SO. Iunno about you, but I'm obsessed with my pets. They're my life, my children, my everything. Without them, I really wouldn't be happy and wouldn't have a life, and I know I can't be the ONLY brony out there that loves their pets as much as i do!

So I figured I'd make a thread all about our pets, much like the "Brony Behind the Computer" post pictures of all your cute furry, scaly, feathery friends! Guess I'll start off with mine!

First of, my oldest, Darcy, a 11 yr Jack Russell Terrier.

Next is my 4yr old cat, Basia!

Then there is Anakin... my Sith Lord... >:I 1 1/2 yr. He's a Chiweenie.

And finally, my youngest, Finn, my ball python. I have NO idea how old he is, but I suspect 7mos.

With that done, who else wants to show their pets!?

Yes! My seven year old half sister got that for me when we first met! It's a pink unicorn!

TPBM likes sushi, and the real exotic kinda too, like eel and puffer fish!

so, keeping up with optibotimus' toy reviews, and he finally did one for the new transformers prime beast hunters line with soundwave. i have to say. while the toy is slightly good.........

why is hasbro putting in serious freaking season spoilers on the inserts? it just... like i knew about predaking, but i was seriously waiting to see what happened to jackie. is he alive or dead, but NO! INSERT IS ALL LIKE DERP ALIVE DERP.

ruins the excitement and happiness i would have had finding out from the show. :I

though i do have to agree with optibotimus. i don't think they will be changing the designs of the transformers in season three. if they do i think they'd ruin it. what about you guys?

as for his review:

HELLO!! i freaking LOVE your name! srsly.

omg.

i hope that's the name of your pony.

wait... -looks at apps-

never mind!!

so, reason you can not access the chat is simple~

you need to make three posts on the forum before you can access some things!

hope to see you in the chats soon!

Roleplay Type: Mane Roleplay

Name: Glass Glow

Sex: Male

Age: Stallion

Species: Unicorn

Eye colour: Emerald Green

Coat: Glass' coat is rather important to him. Thus the stallion keeps it smooth and pristine white, giving him a brilliant sheen.

Mane/Tail: Above all things, GG pays more attention to the details of his mane and tail. It's taken him years to grow them out long and straight, keeping the colours as bight as he can. Most if his mane and tail is a deep coal green, while the bangs and top of his tail is streaked with lime green, teal and blonde.

Physique: This stallion is no mare! Don't let his long legs, thin neck and body, and feminine face fool you. About the only way, aside from his voice, that you can tell he's a male, are his larger hooves with the fetlocks.

Residence: GG lives and loves his place in Canterlot

Occupation: Like his name partially suggests, he's a glass maker, specializing in blown glass, stained glass and, high end glass art. In addition to that, Glass owns and runs his own glass shop/gallery called "Heart of Glass".

Cutie Mark: Glass' cutie mark is rather complicated. Its an ornate multi-coloured glass fan, with a gold base that twists.

History: GG was born into an already full family. He is the youngest of four, an older brother and two twin sisters. His parents were both artists, in fact, his whole family consisted of artistic ponies. Glass' mother is a painter, and she paints the most beautiful landscapes of towns and rivers and cities, his father a writer. One that wrote of truth, freedom, beauty and love. His brother became a violinist and plays in an orchestra, and his sisters? Actresses. So it only came natural that Glass would find his calling in the world of arts. As a colt, Glass was very particular as to who he played with, only because, well... he didn't want to get dirty. So the pony stayed close to those who didn't romp and roll, but those who sat learning and socializing over tea. Sophisticated? Not likely, while the family did many arts, only one was a big name, and that was his mother. Ponies from all around came to see his mothers paintings and Glass admired that. He was close to his mother, every night they would spend brushing each others manes and talking about how one day he too would love a gallery of his own. "But a gallery of what, dear?" to which Glass' response was, "Something colourful, bright, and unique!"

Glass had tried many things while growing up, painting, singing, acting, writing, music, dance, but nothing really struck him or felt right. So in between the time of trying to find his artistic niche, GG excelled at most his curriculum in school. At the time he was considered a nerd, bookworm, and the go to pony for help on homework. Though it was never a bother to him, in fact, the recognition was just more to his already big ego and he soaked up the attention. His mother didn't help either, she loved to make it known that GG was a "prodigy", as she liked to call him, and he was always there with her to help out at her gallery when ever she had a really huge gathering of ponies. There, Glass gained more knowledge on just what to do when he would one day have his own, it was just a bit of a problem, at the fact that he still didn't know what his gallery would be.

It was maybe at the start of his early colt years when him and his mother were on an outing together. It was a rather fateful day, there was a small fair in Canterlot, and many ponies came to gather at the event, most to sell their hand made goods. One little stand was hot, and Glass trotted by innocently until he felt that heat. It was enough to make him stop and look at a small crowd of ponies. Curious, he broke away from his mother, pushing his way through the crowd until finally he came to the small gate that blocked off the crowd. GG's eyes widened as he watched a large Earth pony work with a long steel pole and on the tip was red hot molten glass. He carefully watched stallion work with the material as if it was water, and it didn't take long for the pony to put aside his work as a beautifully coloured vase. "That's it!" Glass said as he ran to his mother. "That's what I want to do!"

After telling his mother, she quietly agreed to help him, though she was worried about having him start so young, though she didn't stop him from dreaming. It was everyday that he ran over to watch the glass maker, and eventually, he caught the attention of the stallion and on one slow day, he called him in. It was a small conversation, but Glass told him it looked fun, but his mother would help him slowly to get what he needed to learn since he was so young. The stallion shook his head and told Glass he now had a job as his apprentice. Over joyed, Glass ran home and told his mum, (who was happy for him to a point) and he started the next day, (with mother supervision, of course.)

It was a slow process, he was learning about the different tools, the different temperatures, the different glass, the techniques, and every day his mother watched him grow and became more and more intrigued by the idea of making art with glass, eventually, she knew this was his calling in life. It came the day when her and Glass' tutor agreed to let him get his hooves dirty. Much to GG's delight (and disappointment) he was to make his first vase. It was that day his mother told him, as she watched him wiggle and squirm from the filth and soot, "Dirty hooves means better art. Lose the pride, and create the beauty." Meaning, suck it up and do it... politely of course. That's just what he did, and soon, Glass was starting his very first piece, though... it takes a lot of practice, and his first attempt was not a success. Vase after vase after vase, he broke half way through or ruined it some how and he only found himself getting angry, though patience was what his mother taught him, and her constant assurance and support helped him finally make his first finished vase... albeit, not a very pretty one. Either way, upon completion of it, his cutie mark appeared, and his motivation to do better and practice grew.

His mentor handed down tools he no longer used would eventually help Glass start his own little area with kiln, forge, and everything. Day after day, right after school and his homework, Glass was outside working away and practicing, and even learning to use his magic to mold, heat and cool the glass at just the right temperature. It wasn't long before he was making all kinds of things and decorating their home with his pieces. Eventually, his mother started showcasing his work inside her gallery, and before he knew it, he was getting praise and recognition. All through his years growing, GG focused on his glass work, and eventually moved out with the bits he saved from selling his work. It was a small home, though a two story, and soon he took out everything on the first floor and made it into his very own gallery. His family helped, painting the walls all white, making shelves, counters, and islands to put his things and his center piece was the ceiling, where they put his glass discs on top of a glass casing, with lights behind them, and lighting them up to reflect the coloured lights upon the floor. His best piece of work.

Now he lives atop the gallery, with his workshop in the back and sign above his front door. Still, even to this day as a grown stallion, he talks to his mentor and teacher and together they talk about skill, technique and recent works. Currently, Glass Glow is rather happy and still giggles at the convenience of his name and job, and all this time he thought it was just his obsession with his reflection in glass... well... that could still be accurate~

Character Summary: Since he could trot, Glass has been all about image. In fact, he's more obsessed with himself then anything else! He's vain, by the very definition, but just because he is vain, doesn't mean he's unpleasant to be around. Just sometimes insufferable. While he will often gripe about dust upon his coat, or a strand of mane falling out of place, Glass is actually very nice. He can give helpful advice, when he wants, he can care for others, when he wants, he can be giving, when he wants, and he can be fun, when he wants. Its all about how HE wants to act, despite how you may feel, though his selfishness can be masked or hidden with that charming smile and smooth voice. Glass Glow is very bright, smart and quick on his hooves, and often can spout off intelligent quips or facts that would shock most, and sadly he knows he's smart, but refrains from showing much of said intellectual thoughts.

Even though Glass can be a pain in the flank, deep down, he's kind and very loyal, and he lets his heart get the best of him, often sucking up his own needs to help those who are his closest friends. It may not seem like it, but Glass isn't a pony who likes to see others upset or down, and he will try his best to make someponies day a little brighter, some times with a beautiful piece of glass art. His work is the one thing he isn't all that selfish with. While most artists who are prideful of their work and display it, but never share it, all of Glass' works are up for sale, as long as the piece moves you and invokes some kind of emotion. He won't sell if he knows his work would just collect dust and not be admired, for in his eyes, its very disrespectful.

He's a bit of a drama queen, over dramatizing a lot of things, making a situation seem worse then it actually is, or being overly excited over one thing. This mostly shows when he works. In the back of his shop, Glass Glow has been known to laugh, cry, sweat, and bleed due to his work, and often times what he feels is portrayed through that one piece he was working on. Despite his obsession with his looks, working in back means he forgets his obsession and allows himself to get dirty. After all, he works in a filthy environment, he's gotta get his hooves a little messy, but his reasoning is "A little pride lost, and a better piece of art." With his art, Glass is known for his liking towards octopi and slugs, and he often makes many glass octopi and slugs to show appreciation to the creatures, why? No one knows, not even him, but an octopus is on the store sign in the shape of a heart, among other things in his shop.
