[Genreponies] Rock and Electro Mascots /First Drafts/

[Dave (RayFriedh) 246]

Hallo, RayFriedh here, back with some more genreponies for @Feld0's website, Pony.fm, which recently went online!

 

Today's post features the Electro and Rock pony. Many thanks to @Modphase and  for their suggestions, which helped greatly in these designs! 

 

 

Thank you, Dawn Rider, for the suggestion!

 

 

If it isn't clear, the school uniform is a reference to AC/DC's Angus Young. Thanks to ModPhase for the suggestion!

--------------

Okay, this is the end of the post. If ya want to send any suggestions to me, you can contact me over Skype, DA, or on a PM here! 

 

Any and all feedback is appreciated! 

 

Anyway, thanks for reading. There's punch and cookies by the door.

Yep, that definitely looks like a school boy gone bad!   A great many kudos to you for taking the time to do these, they really look like they're gonna add some pizzazz to the site. Hope to see more soon.

Good Work. This is looking very good. Cant wait to see the final colored version of these. It shall make the new site 20(0)% cooler.

[The Soldier 2,044]

That's pretty good work there, RayFriedh. I bet there's going to be other Genreponies that you'll be making eventually. I wonder if you're going to make Hip-Hop.

[Radiance64 7,059]

Skrillex and Angus Young finally have their own OCs

Haha I kid, these are great! You did an excellent job on them.

Oh and thanks for the punch and cookies?

Lookin' fancy. The Dubstep/electronic pony looks a little under detailed, however. If I may suggest a little; make him more buzzed. If he is the face of digital music, make it seem like he just sat on an electric fence. Make his mane dance to The Robot. xD
Also, he's missing the obligatory headphones and/or shades. :3

[Zygen 6,066]

looking good Ray! I'm liking them! They look really well done .

 

I'm gonna say that one thing is that I think the Dubstep/Electronic pony needs some type of accessory, not sure what, maybe a headset or shades or something, it just feels like it might be missing something.

 

The rock one looks pretty well done I'd say.

 

They're overall looking pretty darn good, this is gonna be awesome when it finally is all done .

In reply to you Ray:

 

Not a problem my friend

Im happy to help in any way I possibly can, I found myself doing abit of research for other genre design specifics, so Im looking forward to some future chats about the design aspects of them.

 

In response to the Ponies:

 

Schoolboy gone bad....love it xD

I love AC/DC, so anything related to them is a plus in my books. Very nice job so far Ray, looking forward tio future designs from you

As Im sure MANY others are aswell

Yuss. I'd love to hear what you have to say about the future designs of the ponies.

Also, I hope I got the mane okay. You mentioned the colour, and an idea of what the mane would be like. While drawing it, though, I accidentally made that pointy bit near the ear, and thought that that would be a good addition to it. I hope it was at least vaguely similar to what you what you were thinking of.

ocarp. Actually, Dawn Rider said that he imagined the pony wearing headphones, and I totally meant to draw them, but it seems like I forgot when I focused on dat mane.

Not so sure about the shades, but yeah, I should have drawn those headphones. Also, Akoura, I think it would be best if the ponies I created were left simple, but memorable. I don't want to create a complete mess, and I don't want to create a blank character. I need to make them memorable, but not overwhelming.

 

 

Skrillex and Angus Young finally have their own OCs

Thank you for the feedback! 

 

And it was no problem.

Thank our sponsors over at the rainbow factory!

 

That's pretty good work there, RayFriedh. I bet there's going to be other Genreponies that you'll be making eventually. I wonder if you're going to make Hip-Hop.

Thankye for the feedback! I'll probably create the hip-hop pony sometime. I wonder if Feld0'll make a separate genre for rap, though...

 

Good Work. This is looking very good. Cant wait to see the final colored version of these. It shall make the new site 20(0)% cooler.

Thanks, ActFast. I'm just designing these, others will vector, and of course, colour them, in a style more like the show. I think it's still up to me to decide the colours, though.

Couldn't have done it without your help, Mod/Angus! 

[Unikitty 1,212]

True. You don't want something so confusing, that you don't know where the mane starts and tail ends. However, at the same time, you're drawing characters the are designed for music genres. While it's good to make them look 'cool', it is also important that their design is something that reflects the genre they are representing. 
Just like the Rock Pony above. We can see that it is an AC/DC reference. AC/DC is famous for their Rock music. The pony represents the genre.

Id be happy to talk more to you

And yes it's very similar as to what I was describing. You just need to make sure that he doesn't become to outrages as some people believe Dubstep/Electro artists are all like (*cough* Skrillex and his Hair XD *cough*). Right now he looks pretty awesome. The headphones would add a nice effect (but you already know that xD) and his cutie mark looks rather awesome

Very nice job

Good to see that you understand where I'm coming from.

I dunno. The CM is just... lines.

 

Well, thankye for your commentary. I'd go an talk to you right now on teh Skypes about the ponies, but I'm being forced off the computer right now.

[Octavia's Cellozoid 1,488]

Awesome! I especially like the rock. Even more so with the AC/DC reference I honestly would suggest adding a little Rolling Stones reference with the mane, but it looks great this way too

 

I personally think the electro pony shouldn't be an earth pony. Maybe another unicorn, I think that's more fitting. But that's just me.

 

Keep up the great work! I can't wait to see the rest

[Twilight Sparkle ✨ 8,529]

They look great, but I have a question:

I want to get involved, where can I find a list of genres so I can suggest something?

Help is appreciated.

 

Click the "Genres" link in the "Browse" flyout in the navbar:

 

 

That should take you right to this page, which has all the genres on it: https://pony.fm/genres

[Dave (RayFriedh) 246]

 

The sky's alight with the guitar fight!  Heads will roll and rock tonight!

 

FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK!  WE SALUTE YOU!

 

And I salute YOU!  Those are cracking, mate, simply cracking!  As much as I dislike dubstep, he looks so cute :3  And rocker pony is looking very chilled   Not only that, but you've managed to encompass most strands of rock in a single image!  British New Wave, American Metal, Aussie Metal and a little bit of Grunge all in one!

 

 

 

Thank you very much for the feedback! I'm glad you can see all these different sections of rock in that one pony, that's what I was going for!

Thankye for the feedback! I don't really think that a rolling stone mane would look as good on him while still displaying some effects of grunge rock.

 

Aaaaaand as for the Electro pony... well, what about a pegasus? They seem active, happy, carefree. The unicorn would be better for dubstep- it's a harder, louder genre, but also does have some electronic feel to it....

 

I think I need to get my eyes checked

Thanks, I think I have spawned some idea for a Country pony in my head. I'll forward them to RayFriedh.

(I accidentally the gender. XD)

 

I await your suggestions!

[~Starlight~ 764]

These look so good! Keep up the good work and I cannot wait to see the colours all together and great names too go very well with the radio theme! Anyways keep up the good work!
