As serenity filled the lobby as those who arrived were slowly getting escorted to be graciously serviced, a foreign shock abruptly shattered the spa's soothing aroma, tearing open a black void and filling in that space was some sort of drooling dross. The doors came bursting inwards briefly, allowing both winter's harsh cold to invade once more... This time, it was accompanied by this, uh... thing. A thing that reeked of a nefarious odor that could very well take on the form of a pony-devouring monster to those with very sensitive noses - why, the scent was so bad that even the cold winds desperately averted this thing's presence by frantically gusting to the sides in an attempt to find salvation elsewhere. It wouldn't be that shocking if this thing was actually being protected by his musk.

One would wonder if the spa just allowed a skunk to casually enter it's domain and defile everything that is celestial, until further examination clearly showed that whatever just entered was indeed a pony. Well, at least... they donned a plain, yellow dress meant for a mare. Their dress was in fairly bad condition - with the skirt being ripped off as if it were chewed on by a monster with several teeth or tugged on by a ferocious clawed animal. The bodice was just drenched in holes and rips, with a few strings sticking out here and there. After getting over just on how bad of a condition the dress was in, it was then clear that whoever the wearer was, they were ludicrously too small for the gown - no bigger than a foal. Even with the skirt ripped, it was practically hung out on the floor as if they were dragging a carpet with their bottom. Speaking of dragging things across the floor, this stranger also happened to be holding a naked mannequin, secured firmly beneath an arm. Well... that's just...

Aaanyways, What exactly was a little filly doing in a spa anyway? Perhaps she had some cute reason for stumbling into this place in such a wreck, right?

"Jeez! This town's just as annoying as Cloudsdale!" Shouted a raspy, deep and rather unsettling voice that clearly did not belong to a filly's, let alone a mare's. "Everywhere I go, folks gotta chew out at me! I break ONE lousy window and already everypony's gotta get on my nerves!"

This, uh... whatever it was, began stomping their feet on the floor out of frustration and spite. Apparently suffering from a tough day's of stress. The stranger managed to calm himself down a bit with a simple but elongated sigh. After feeling a bit more eased, he directed his next words towards his companion. Who happened to be a mannequin.

"Well, at least you aren't judging me..." The stranger stared into the mannequin's non-existing eyes, beckoning for its reassurance that possibly may not exist either. Because, it was in fact a mannequin. "I mean, just because I take a few fancy dresses here and there... that doesn't make me a bad pony, right?" He pondered out loud to the mannequin, hoping for a response but he continued rambling on before hearing its reception. "I just wanted something nice to wear for this stupid, cold weather! And I just happen to see a few dresses just sitting lonesomely in a building that looked like an over sized umbrella! Just... sitting there, waiting to be worn by SOMETHING." The stranger began smothering his cheek against the mannequin obsessively. "And would you look at me? I look absolutely FEEEAAA-BOO-LOUS~! Wouldn't you agree, my Auntie Pea?"

The mannequin replied with taunting silence, accompanied by a distorted violin sound. Insulted by the mannequin's quiet demeanor and taking the response as a sign of apathy, the stranger abruptly tossed the mannequin aside, leaving it stranded near the entrance to be displayed for future customers. "... Just like Ma. Just no pleasing you." He sighed out of sheer loneliness. "Well, you just stay right there, Auntie! I just need to get myself a quick fix!"

After that... charming skit, the stranger crudely spat to the side before turning around to get a glimpse of the building he just happened to waltz right into so abruptly. His face was finally revealed - it was in fact a pony... though that may be debatable depending on a few. His coat shared the same color of dirt. His eyes were concealed by a classic domino mask. His muzzle was like a sharp beak instead of the typical soft nose a pony would have. His mane was incredibly spiky and looked like as if a bold or oblivious porcupine had taken residence on top his head for who knows why. Yet another odd quirk about this pony was how he stood. He stood on his two hind legs, with his forelegs just hanging about so negligently.

At this point, the dress barely looked like it was hanging onto his body. He could be wearing leaves that would be sturdier than this poor gown. "Well, I think it's finally time I get a little something after dealing with this dumb cold! Definitely need that massage." He joyously uttered to himself while wandering around the lobby. So, apparently he actually came into the spa knowing full well that it was a spa. His eyes searched for somepony to speak to in order to be serviced. Impatient, his eyes quickly took aim upon the two ponies that happened to be the closest to him at the time. One was a healthy, gray Earth Pony (gray to him) and wore one of them funny Ranch hats. The other was a pegasus of similar stature and looked as if she had various shades of gray, making her seem a lot less grayish than the average pony. Regardless of their monochrome depictions, they both looked pretty rough for being owners of a spa... least, he though they were the ones in charge. Though initially hostile, he felt gregarious enough to strike up a conversation with the two. Butting in between the two, trying to keep himself centered so that he could get both of their attention.

"Hey, there! Cool hat, pika." The stranger glimpsed at the Earth pony, making a cruderemark on her headgear. He turned to the pegasus. "You guys do facial here, right?" The stranger proceeded to pull on his cheeks, stretching them out like rotting rubber. "Cuz, you see... My face feels very un-FEEEAAA-BOO-LOUS~... So much, it kinda hurts." He looked a bit puzzled for a moment. "Gotta admit, I wasn't expecting a spa of any town to have such... burly ponies as the owners." He snickered, grinning rather gleefully when he said burly. "Man, I bet you two would be absolutely swell giving out them massages! Seriously, I got this nasty crick in my backside that just won't go away."


 

Actually I wanted to play this one out with this petit Brute, if that's awright with you folks.

I'd like to take a shot at this roleplay! I mean, I still yet to actually participate in one. I've been just so lazy lately. But alas the character I would really prefer to use for this is still in the process of getting approved.

I'm thinking about just using my other character in the mean time... but she just isn't cut out for this sort of setting. On the other hand, I REALLY need to make more of an effort to do something in this forum instead of slacking around.

Hey, everybody! Well, let me just start off as to say that I'm pretty much new to RPing Ponies (but RPing in general) and that this is my second attempt to start my own Pony RP. So, just a fair warning in case things hit a bust.

While I do have a character approved, I kind of want to wait until I get at least a second character in as well, for the sake of having some diversity on my end. Til then, I thought it might be a good idea to throw out some ideas and basic planning for my own contribution to the Equestria Empire's lore. This will also let me know if my idea isn't too jarring in regards for the show's canon or too boring or messy as a concept. Heaven knows that I'm bit a of a klutz.

Since my current character is an inventor, that already opens up towards the classical cartoon scenarios of building silly contraptions. Like the Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000. Or a helicopter hat for a tortoise. But I kind of wanted to go for something a little more grand in scale with this in mind, but I also want to avoid hitting the Deus Ex Machina zone as most toon inventors inevitably become.

I kind of wanted to do a theme on dreams - the basic premise would be that my character would invent a machine that can inexplicably open a portal to a selected pony's dream - their dream world being an personalized version of Ponyville constructed by their personal interests, creating multiple variations of the same location. (As an example of a comparison: Anyone who played AC:New Leaf, it's like the Dream Suite concept). Other ponies could enter their dream and explore their inner self, sort of opening ways for unconventional character development.

But as I give this some more thought, I fear it might seem a little too... improbably hi-tech for Pony standards. Course I could always just argue it's mixed in with magic or whatever... but then that leads into the issue that Princess Luna's supposed to be the one fiddling with dreams.

I don't know... is this a stupid idea? Is it too jarring for the show's canon and not fitting for EE? Let me know so I can think of some other proper ideas.

So in my boredom, I apparently started to brainstorm some ideas for a few MLP OCs for RPing. Because I really have nothing else to do (given GTA Online is a piece of garbage and won't work GRAAH)

Wanted to make OCs that had some relevance to the FiM universe, that don't try to be too jarring in my attempt to be "unique". But considering that my writing skills are just as abrasive as my drawing... eh, whatever.

Did two OCs emulating the now dead Fighting is Magic's art style. Because thick lines look way cooler for ponies.

And here's a rough draft.

I have no idea if anyone here wastes their time watching Cartoon Hangover. But I've recently stumbled upon a pilot for one of their newer works in the name of Doctor Lollipop. It's a show about a unicorn. A UNICORN DOCTOR.

I actually mistook it as some sort of parody of MLP at first, because... well, it stars a unicorn and also a raccoon I find oddly hot. But I guess that proves something. I mean, considering how quick I am to go to MLP after seeing a horse of any medium is a testament that I have an unhealthy affinity for MLP.

Anyway, here's a quickie and stuff.

Anyways, enough pones - TIME TO GO PLAY ME SOME GTA 5.

I guess I'm the weird one here since I actually like the nose, but I guess it all comes down to people's own preferences. I don't really think it looks that off and it sorta reminds me of the toy models. =D

I thought the term for a horse's spotted pattern was tobiano. But I can't argue with someone who actually owns a horse!
 

Anywho... A little update for anyone who gives a pegasus dung

Looking back, I really hated the lack of color and overall design so here's a quick makeover. Also switched my style to a more "comfortable" level that feels more natural to me. I felt like the previous design was trying to emulate the show's style a little too much. This one's more typical anime-ish. I guess.

I took the feathering into consideration. But considering how that looks stupid in real life (Apologies to every Tinker horse!), I can't imagine it would look too dandy with my awful skills. The best I could do is make the hair look... feathery? I don't know. Man, do you people have any idea how limited it can be on designing horses?!

Anyway, here's the makeover! Now with super bunny ears!

And another OC just because.

Now to go be nerdy and dink around in the Roleplay forums. Obviously joining in with RAINBOW DASH.

-edit-

Decided to scrap this RP since it didn't gain any attention for a while (no biggie, I'll just try something out instead). Normally I would get rid of busted threads but noticed I can't delete my own topics (or rather I don't know how to on this engine?), so if any mods or whoever come across this, just delete.

Sorry for any inconvenience and whatnot. 

Thanks for the warm comments, guys - Really appreciate it!

Just to clarify so that nobody gets the wrong idea here, RAINBOW DASH (note the caps!) is a homage to the #1OC in the RP character database. Honestly if you thought my thing was funny then clearly you haven't checked that awesomeness out yet. Or maybe you did.

Also, some silly replies to some posts.

First one, unfortunately, I have to say is very Mary Sue and OP (overpowered)

 

Sorry to be so hard on you but, that OC cannot go in any roleplay. That's the truth.  

It looks kinda weird to have a multicolored coat on a pony, and the splotch on her face crowds her face.

Dat super-long, sparkly mane. It's so deliciously long and flowy! Celestia be jealous.

And those ears look like cute bunny ears!

... I want to live inside Sky Rise's mane forever. <3

Hey! Check out my awesome OC guys! I put all my effort, donated my organs and used dark magic to create this impeccable being of awesome perfection of awesomeness!

Oh, and I made another one because I have no life... this one suck because it isn't as blindingly awesome as the first.

Man I'm so dumb with these jokes...

That fluttershy is absolutely adorable. I love it. ^w^ You are awesome! The only one that looks a bit off is the Twilight one, but thats just the style. X3

 

May I ask what you typically draw?

The style I used for RD is how I normally draw. Or rather it's my personal preference since I was always fond of things that are grotesque and gritty in appearance. But to be honest, I don't really have a set style, per se. My illustrations are always being influenced by other people's artwork so I tend to be very inconsistent especially if I come back after a long artist's block.

I appreciate everyone's feedback by the way! Probably an artist's worst fear is having their work ignored... uh, not that I would know how that feels or anything.

I'll probably post future content here in this thread. Speaking of which, here's another thing I'd like to share. It's a full body this time!

Quoting TV Tropes, "Snowdrop is the woobie to end all woobies."

Personally  I think her coat color is a little too vivid and ranges too far on the yellowish scale, so she reminds me of a vegatable. Or She-Hulk. She'd probably look better if the green on her coat was adjusted to look paler and lighter to contrast with her mane. I mean, that's just my opinion, really. I'm not exactly an expert on coloring tbh.

Who's the top-left one supposed to be? RD?

Pinkie looks... really creepy... and like she's going insane...

Yup. The pony with the most colors gets shaded in monochrome.

Also, have some cupcakes.

*Experimenting

Don't question my imamazing vocabulary. I am awesomer than that.

Here's some crude dinky amatuer doodles of various pony faces (cuz pony bodies are a little weird to draw atm). Just experiment-tating (that's a word, right?) with a few variations on them equine expressions.

By the way, I actually don't like drawing ponies. (CLEARLY I BELONG HERE)

Hello, everypony everyone. I seem to have descended into complete hysteria after the sudden yet strangely cathartic loss of my heart. I don't mean that in the metaphorical sense - my heart actually exploded after I came across bizarre depictions of these strange technicolor equine lifeforms on my monitor screen. Their lethal levels of neotenic charm triggered a violent eruption in my amygdala, sending out a rapid surge through my body whilst it incessantly repeated DAAAWWWW while I, in a helpless state, could only moan out a long HNNNNNNGGGGG.

That's how my heart exploded. True story. But I got a new one (it's purple!), so no biggie.

Here's a crude picture I sketched describing that experience. (All credit goes to my hand - don't sue me, mister hand)

Anyways, after losing my heart (and mind), I decided to join the poniverse because evidently I enjoy horsing around.

Some facts about me; I like sundaes dipped in hot sauce, dinosaur ninjas and the letter W. My favorite food is Calculus. I have no friends on the internet because I am very shy. My favorite pony is whoever's sitting on my lap and telling me to shut up...

I hope to have a good time here! (And hopefully not drive others insane with my silliness.)
