I'm new here, came today. I haven't rapped for a while now and love to show of, and I also love ponies. So... IT IS ON! I don't really get the organisation tho; suppose we could just start without the guys who are in charge of this? (Forgive my blasphemy, lol).

GREAT IDEA! I'M IN! When do we start?

Thanks and don't worry, the rules don't seem to be too hard to follow, at least not for me. I see you are all very friendly, that's one of things that make me so proud of being part pony comunity. I already have posted my work in the forums, even before I introduced myself, so selfishy. Thanks for the warm welcomes, the picture in my avatar is just awesome, isn't it? In fact, I just recently won a free t shirt print in amateur films competition, so I'm gettin it on my t shirt! You should have seen the priceless expression on the face of the guy who was in charge of making sure everything is OK with the picture you wish to have printed on your tshirt when he saw a pink pony in chicken costume.

Hey guys! Thanks for the positive feedback! It's way too clumsy now for me to sell it, but... I HAVE HAD AN AWSUM IDEA! By angling the leds slightly and using transparent sheets, I could basically project shadow on a small canvas... Hmm... mumble mumble... perspective distortion correction... hm... E-yup! I could probably make a flashdisk with animated flying dashie on it as well... And for a reasonable price. If any of you guys know at least some soldering, I could change the schematics so that there is no need for programming (such blinker could be made out of much simpler parts) and all so that you could make your own. Hi there, feel free to check the video description on yt! I wouldn't really call it an invention, but... How did i do it? Well, I used a 1 side perfboard, some smd leds, resistors and attiny85. I then used Arduino, which is a low cost microprocessor developing platform to create the code, which is basically just a loop that's turning leds on and off, then I uploaded the code to a small and cheap chip (pretty much straightforward), then soldered it all together (using poster clay to fix the smds on place). Then I disassembled an usb cable, soldered the blinker in parallel with it, plugged the flash drive in it, put it into enclosure... For the animation itself: I downloaded a gif of pinkie hoppin, opened it in PS, determined which frames are the key ones (you can do this by heart), found out you only need 3, used it as a reference, drew pinkie on paper (my printer is lying by my side with its head out in water at the moment ), cut her out, outlined her on a thick black paper, cut her out again (to get sort of negative-now I had a paper with holes in shape of pinkie), then I glued this cardboard together with some flimsy paper to help dissolve the light, drew some details with permanent marker, covered it with one more layer of the paper (because if you can see outlines of animation phases different from the active one, it kills the ilusion), then I just glued it all together. I think that about covers it.

I didn't really want to point it out that much, but I could sort of see that. Your art is some 7 or 8/10, if we said your avatar is 10. But I see you like Deus ex AND ponies, and combining them together is never a bad idea. I'm even gettin' a pony/deus ex tshirt this monday. So, if you get a chance, I'd definitely like to see it.

Hi there! Let me just introduce myself real quick! I have always loved chicken, those animals are so adorable! Then I found ponies (actually, I was brought to them by my girl_space_friend! They are, of course, not as cool as chicken, but it's really close! Plus many other folks share love for ponies! I am a guy, although the name might be misleading. I rap occasionally, I program (Arduino, anyone? ), model in blender, do short film-related stuff (vfx for fun) and so on. My fav pony is definitely a Pinkie pie, but Fluttershy comes as a close 2nd best filly. Everypony else has a 3rd place.

I like it very much, especially the 1st one. Since you long for criticism so much... That hand on the 2nd picture (ponies left hand) is awkwardly bent. But my drawing skills aren't anywhere close, I'm just pointin' out what I see. Edit: That's one hay of an awesome avatar you have there! How 'bout a deus ex pinkie pie for your next creation?

Hi there, fellow ponies! I just finished my very simple, yet somewhat cool (I hope) project-flashdrive pinkie pie mod! I made some arduino led chaser code and threw it into attiny85, then I soldered some smd leds and resistors and put it all in tic-tac enclosure, taking the power from usb, and it was done. Here you go!

Could you be a little more specific? How should the intro look like? I have some experience with after effects and also blender (and I can draw in photoshop), sadly, although I understand how to use the aforementioned apps perfectly, I am not an artist. I know how to hold the pencil the right way, but I can't draw, so to speak. Give me some intel and we'll move on from there.

Wait, so fluttershy exploded... And... And... THEN SHE EXPLODED AGAIN?! Cool fanfic by the way, It's so random!
