Espy 5,026 March 1, 2025 Share March 1, 2025 (edited) Welcome to the MLP Forums March 2025 Art contest Sorry for the delay, I heard people wanted a new art contest and I'm happy to oblige! The theme for this month is: Character Roulette WARNING: Flashing imagery! I heard about this thing called a "screenshot game" or something like that? A lot of pictures go by with a funny caption and whatever you screenshot will fit the caption This is basically what that is! There are 46 characters from G4 here. Some of them are well known and loved while others are found in the background or as part of minor scenes throughout the show. There are even a few other species in there! All you have to do is open the following spoiler, take a screenshot and see who you get to draw! Yep, that's it! Spoiler Requirements Create artwork of the selected character from the provided GIF by taking a screenshot of it at any point in time If you are sensitive to flashing imagery, you can have someone else take a screenshot for you! If you don't know the name of one of the characters, please don't be afraid to ask! Other characters (OC's and canon) are allowed in the submission as long as the art's main focus is on your selected character All members of MLPF are eligible No AI art will be accepted, however it can be used for initial inspiration Photoshopping or editing images created by others to make your submission is not allowed Submitting works from other artists is not allowed Animations no longer than 10 seconds are allowed Deadline Submissions will close on March 28th, 2025. New deadline is April 1st, 2025! Judging Public voting will be open during March 29th - April 4th. April 1st - April 9th. Afterwards, voting will be finalized 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 > 2025 Submissions > March 2025 Art Contest) or you can use the top navigation menu to add a submission. If there are any additional questions, please feel free to ask!

Snow 9,126 March 1, 2025 Share March 1, 2025 OOOO this is a neat concept I like it!! I used good ol' Snipping tool to capture my pony, I'm interested to see what methods everyone else uses to get their image. I don't even know who this is so it looks like I've got some homework to do pretty though. Stoked to have another art event, thanks so much for putting this together team!! 3 beans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EtchASketch 3,570 March 1, 2025 Share March 1, 2025 Interesting how I got him! I need to find what to do with him... 2 1 1 "People get built different. We don't need to figure it out, we just need to respect it." - Princess Bubblegum “I don’t think there are bad people. I think good people do bad stuff sometimes, and that’s bad. But if you just do it once, that’s a mistake. And that’s not bad.” – Marceline the Vampire Queen "Someone pricked their finger, and someone else was stabbed. Just because one injury is more minor doesn't mean you should downplay their pain. Either wound could worsen in condition and they could get sepsis. Pain is pain and it still hurts." – Me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a background pony: Eclair Crème! She makes a few appearances between S1 - S6 and finally in S9. And you're welcome, but also thank you and everyone for being engaged with these events! 12 minutes ago, Interstellar Sketch said: Interesting how I got him! I need to find what to do with him... I'm curious to find out! He's one of those characters who are super important to the backstory and lore of G4, but also gets glossed over a lot in the grand scheme of things. Lots of mythical things you can do here! 1 1 1 Music: YouTube / Bandcamp / Soundcloud Socials: Bluesky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComanderZhabikKlavik 5,622 March 3, 2025 Share March 3, 2025 I already have an idea of what I can do with this. @Espy Vibe I won first place in the last context.
