*Taking deep breathes*
Ok, The project is called "Pony Pile" stack up!
You know, dog pile ponified!!
Essentially, this will be a MLP forums major ship art, aimed at involving all the members and staff that participate here.
The Mission: is to obtain as many OCs necessary to start a pony pile, to unite the members of the MLP Forums in a fun, sensible comic activity and commemorate every pony here in one major art piece.
Along with each new addition, each owner of each respective OC can introduce a punchline, shout out, or catch phrase via pming me, or I can make up some dialogue. I vow to keep it clean, and sensible, and "safe for work".
Each OC will be done near canon form (to the best of my abilities) and on top of each other pony. There will be contact with ponies you may not know, but I'll keep it clean, and no r34 material involved whatsoever.
All I'm asking of each member, is permission to use your OC in a forum project, to get everypony involved, and commemorated in a fun activity. Individually we may seem small, but in unity, we can soar up to new heights, without even standing. ;3
I ask that if you have qualms or don't like the way I perceive your OC, let me know in all earnest (I'll get to that shortly).
I'm simply doing this from the bottom of my heart, as a way to convey my deepest, profound admiration for everypony here, who openly engages in all manners of harmony and friendship.
Eventually, I wish for all of us to achieve the tallest pony pile ever made! This will only be exclusive to the MLP Forums, no member outside of it will be involved, (there maybe possible exceptions) the only ones capable of joining, are those whom have OCs
Now if a new member joins and is OC-less, others or I myself will be happy to make one for you.
Now, on to the prerequisites.
Any and all members whom have OCs are encouraged to join in on this art.
Preferably ponies, but if you have others, please do share it here with references, for I'm eager to work with every member here.
Unfortunately, due to the magnitude of this project, I'm drawing each pony in a minimalist style, (intentionally small, near chibi like.)
Any and all highly elaborate, or sophisticated OCs, can be posted, and I'll try my hardest to work with you in making a more simplified version of your pony.
Full size Alicorns, I can work around with to provide a smaller version.
Same for any supermodel ponies being used, like Shankvelds OC Lovely
Princess Ariona, Shankveld, and Midnightive have volunteered to help me in this project by painting your OCs! Thanks a bunch you three!! ;3
Daily cut offs in the pile will be marked with one filler pony, in between actual members, preferably, any member who has spare OCs, may submit them to be filler ponies
Thanks to the open request and approval.
Your very first three ponies to volunteer their OCs are: (From bottom to top)
Midnight Moon
Midnightive
and ElectroBolt
While they maybe the foundation, it's very important to have other ponies involved to keep the pile neatly stacked, and growing. With eachother, we will soar to new heights.
Please post your references and colors, and I'll do everything in my power, to provide the finest ship art I've ever produced.
I'll keep a queue on board so that I can keep track of everypony.
Midnight Moon: Painted
Midnightive: Painted
ElectroBolt: Painted
All these sketches are my practice/entrance concepts to get a better understanding of each character volunteered.
First Five
Land, Air, or Sea...
Will upload next 10 practice soon.
Progress report, This is to show where I'm at as of 7/20/12

Alright, every member who just received a brohoof from me, means I've acknowledged your post, and
Disclaimer: Collective and the list are two seperate subjects. What I mean by collective is the name of the folder I use to store all OCs whom are actively participating. It's a archive of sorts I use and later use as a reference guide for you all.
I understand I may have confused members by this and thank ADashOfRainbow for making this observation known to me. ;3
Update! : To further minimize the confusion of my hefty workload with other projects, I think it's best you should know my new found work schedule, as I was previous unemployed for awhile, then getting a part time job and a fulltime job recently.
