Background Ponies Appreciation Club

[Oleks 1,993]

A couple of nice articles about underappreciated background ponies apeeared on Equestria Daily. Although the list they give is far from complete, it's good to see people still pay attention to BG ponies.

Yes, I read this a few minutes ago on EQD. It is a good list, but I am also a little bit dissapointed to see only one Canterlot Boutique Unicorn Girl there. I hope they bring more in the future because there are so many Ponies who need more attention. 

Speaking of Canterlot Boutique Unicorn Girls. Here two new vectors of Ponies in elegant poses: Sweet Biscuit and North Point.

New season and new episodes also means new appearances of background ponies. And my favorite appearance is obviously these scene: 

And beside the fact that I am really happy to see finally the color of the magic Aura from Citrus Blush, I am really surprised that even normal unicorns can make laser beams. Did that ever happen before?

I don't remember it happening before. I assume Sombra's magic gave them this power. They look cool though.

This is also a possible reason. Or they are magic students who learn to make powerful magic in Canterlot (what would explain why we never saw them before in Canterlot).

Anyway, My next self made "Pony posing elegant" vector, this time with Cocoa Candy, a (in my opinion really beautiful) Backgroundpony from Fillydelphia who made her first (and sadly only) appearence in S7E14 "Fame and Misfortune".

More backgroud ponies:

Citrus Blush (with a Dobro) and Cayenne (with a Banjo) playing a little bit country music. Why? Because of fun (and I love to make vectors of  them in this outfits). The base was a screenshot of rarity from the episode "She's all Yak".

Here a self made picture of the three canterlot Trendsetters North Point, Citrus Blush and Cayenne while they go on a walk trough the snowy landscapes around Canterlot. I gave them new Winter attires. The base for the vector was a screenshot of Minuette, Lemon Hearts and Twinkleshine from the episode "Friendship is Magic - Part 1".

Here a self made vector of one of the for me cutest scenes with a background pony in the show. It is about Jade Spade while she is really happy that she won that big plushy of a ursa major. Look how happy she is. ^^

Some really great art there:

[IronM17 5,373]

After I saw these event a few days ago on EQG, I wated for it. ^^ I even tought to gave them one of my pictures (I mean, i have enough), but I wasn't sure which one. And because of the reason that I could not chose one, I decided to chose none.

[Clawdeen 14,106]

Oh look it’s me as a pony

Ive actually even had my hair both those colors before.

I absolutely adore Inky Rose. 

I would of loved one of those mlp buildabear plushies of her

It's been a while, but here's another portion of BG pony art from various amazing creators:

Interesting background ponies from MLP Movie (part 1, I hope):

Octavia's younger sister (?):

Here she is with a different cutie mark:

A happy flying earth pony:

Several ponies with a rather unusual mane style:

And a pony with a great cutie mark:

I don't know if they have names yet. I hope someone creative will come up with something fitting.

The only one of them with a name so far is the first one. Yes, she's generally seen as Octavia's sister, and she's named Symphonia.

Most of the movie pony naming (excluding Symphonia and a few more) was initiated by me, and I got to name a few myself. Once the votes on Derpibooru work again, I may continue this.

Interesting background ponies from MLP Movie (part 2). As was mentioned before, most new BG ponies in the movie were relocors, but I still try to find interesting designs and cutie marks.

A bouncy radish pony and an earth pony with a rainbow cutie mark that would better suit a pegasus:

Clear skies with a pony astronomer (?):

Either this pony's cutie mark is a weird toucan, or she is a descendant of Mage Meadowbrook:

Just a cute unicorn:

A pony with a horse cutie mark:

Some stallions:

Most of these are still nameless, too.

The mare to the right in the first pic has a speaking line, but she didn't have a name at all for months until my suggestion Dawn Sunrays was accepted.

That gorgeous Clear Skies colour swap in the third pic got a name from me, too, Winter Morning (with no competition this time).

Next we have Aquamarine Glow, one of the first movie background ponies with a name. The Ballad look-alike in the background was named Melody Star.

The last pic shows a few familiar faces, but no new names.

New season - new background ponies. I hope at least some of them will get names.

Hello, Canada!

They're all named by now, that is, at least on Derpibooru.

Now, how about the Background Student Six?

Citrine Spark/Fire Quacker, Peppermint Goldylinks, Berry Blend/Berry Bliss, November Rain, Huckleberry and Auburn Vision.

You can see these six hang around with each other a lot during the last two seasons. Guess they made friends quickly. And in two cases, I guess, it's more than friendship.

Also, it's two Earth ponies, two unicorns, two pegasi, and it's one stallion and one mare in each race. The perfect pony mixture.

But there's one unicorn from Las Pegasus that's terribly underrepresented here and needs more attention: Sprout Greenhoof.

You aren't into her? Really?

Well, if you aren't now...

How can anyone be not into her? She's so cute!

[IronM17 5,373]

I really love Sprout, she is my favorite Las Pegasus Pony besides Fiery Fricket. The Las Pegasus BG-Ponies are my second favorite city-bg-ponies after the ponies from Canterlot.

Here a self made vector of Crimson Skate (a pony from the episode "The Cart before the Ponies") and Geronimo (a pony from the episode "On Your Marks") while both snuggling each other. I got the idea while I looked for Ponies who had rare appereances in the show. The base was a vector of Written Script and Golden Harvest from the episode "Games Pony Play".

Here a self made picture of the Canterlot Trendsetters while they visit a beach. The base for the vector was a screenshot of the Mane 6 from the episode "Wonderbolt Academy".

Time for a picture of rare used Ponies. Here a self made picture of the three ponies from Fillydelphia Royal Gambit, Cocoa Candy and First Edition while they are posing for a picture of their hip hop group Filly-D.
