Pony Tarot Cards!
Wizard posted a topic in Photo Finish's Magics (Visual Art),
Hello all you wonderful ponies! (And every other species~)
I am working on making some Tarot cards based on MLP, specifically the 'Major Arcana' which are the 22 named cards. A full deck has 78 cards, and that is a loooot of cards.
I fully planned on making all of the art myself, but then thought about getting the community involved! So here is my plan: Whether you are an artist or not, feel free to join in and suggest what ponies should be on each card, you can suggest one, or multiple! If you would like, you could even join in with designing the cards! I am working on a template for the cards, basing them on an easy-to-measure standard-sized playing card.
Here is a form to fill, if you would like to join in. This is simply so it's easy to spot suggestions among conversations when scrolling through the thread:
You can suggest ponies from any generation! I actually think some diversity in style and substance would make this quite unique, when compared to other major arcana decks I've seen based on MLP.
My initial idea is to base the cards off of the idea that they are owned by Trixie, since she has the whole 'roaming gypsy magic' thing going for her. Though I am not against suggestions on others. Going off of this idea, the backs of the cards would be based on Trixie, with blue, purple and perhaps some gold in the design.
I am still sketching out ideas, but if you would like to join in, make some suggestions, and see where this goes, then please feel free to post your suggestions below!

The theme for this month is:
Winter Wrap Up!
Requirements
Create artwork of ponies (and/or other canon creatures or OCs) engaging in activities welcoming Spring
This can depict Winter Wrap Up activities as seen in MLP G4, but by no means has to be limited to this: this was just the inspiration for the general theme
You can depict your own interpretation of "Winter Wrap Up" activities, Spring cleaning, welcoming Spring or anything that you feel captures the spirit of Spring
Some example ideas: waking up animals that hibernate, cleaning off snow, welcoming back birds that flew South for the winter
Both canon and original characters are allowed, as well as any MLP generation
All members of MLPF are eligible
No AI art will be accepted, however it can be used for initial inspiration
Animations no longer than 10 seconds are allowed
Deadline
Submissions will close on March 24th, 2024.
Judging
Public voting will be open during March 25th - March 30th, 2024. Afterwards, voting will be finalized within staff and results will be posted as soon as we are able to share them!
Winners
Winners will be granted the Canterlot Artist Rank and Badge. All entries will be eligible to receive an Art Achievement Bronze Badge. Future participation will count toward Silver and Gold Art Badges.
Submit Here (select Art Contest Submissions > 2024 Submissions > March 2024 Art Contest) or you can use the top navigation menu to add a submission.

SCS,$1000 Goal Achieved! (Part 1 - Donor OC Banner)
SCS posted a topic in Site Events,
$1000 GOAL ACHIEVED
Thanks to the boundless generosity of this precious community, we have surpassed the $1000 Goal for Making Christmas Merrier X, 2023! This is an incredible milestone, and to express our gratitude we have multiple unlocks planned to bring joy to the community. This is only the beginning!
Just as Smart Cookie, Clover the Clever and Private Pansy disregarded all differences between them and united as one community of friends to banish the windigos beyond the frozen expanse of eternal night, our community united to make a significant impact on the lives of children in need of emotional support and help. Furthermore, when I reflect on not only this monumental generosity but how this is the 10th year this community has come together to make a difference: there are truly no words to express how precious, rare and beautiful this is.
PART 1: DONOR OC BANNER
For the beginning of festivities for the $1000 unlock tier, Event Coordinator and Artist @Treeglow Flicker will create a site banner for MLP Forums featuring the OCs of everyone who donated to MCM X!
All MCM donors, please reply to this thread with an image of your OC! Once we have collected everyone's OCs, we will get to work on building this banner as a thank you to all who donated.

SCS,MidnightFire1222's Pinkie 'Pier' seapony!
MidnightFire1222 posted a post in a topic,
Made another seapony! Did Pinkie this time and I decided her sea pun name would be Pinkie 'Pier'. I thought it was funny, and so did my husband. Her tail/fins and markings are based on those of a clownfish. Most of them have pretty similar markings, so there isn't a specific fish picture this time.
