Time: 7.5hrs

Layers:89

Video Description:

(May cause motion sickness xD)

 

August 4th, 2013 marked my (Rainbow Dashey's) one year anniversary of being a registered and very active user of the MLP Forums! I set up a thread to allow my good friends and fellow members to submit their OC designs so that I could make one mashup picture of myself and them to commemorate this monumental achievement in my time at the forums.  

 

The people that I have met along the way have not only changed my life, but become some of my closest friends--helping me along the way through my week in ways I can't even write about within this short video description.  Thank you all!

 

Here's to another good year on the ever growing forum!

About the picture:

Program: Paint tool sai (3rd party brushes)

Shot with Xsplit

Layers: 89... yeah.... Thank you guys for making it that hard ;~; (kidding)

Time: 7.5hrs (Of which 6hrs were done straight without leaving my chair) (Which is also why this is sped up so much... cramming 7.5hrs into just a few minutes...) 

Slightly less grand compared my usual artwork but you have to realize that I did over 30 ponies and a polar bear in one picture! I've never done more than 2 in the same picture and never within 7.5hrs. So you'll have to excuse the lack of proportion and uniformity.  :3 

Normally I don't hand out free artwork, but especially not at a scale like this! If I had charged for this piece, it would have come to a $224 profit. But like I said, I did this for my own pleasure. (On the off chance you would like to donate due to this work, I will allow you to contact me and I will arrange for you to do so.)

I want to thank everyone on the forums for making this all possible!!!!~

Winner of the free piece of art at random:

[Scootalove 10,689]

Congrats on your anniversary, my friend! The montage and the art itself was pretty great, it has been a long journey and I'm glad that you stayed on the forums for a long time.

[Nah 3,182]

Congratulations on your anniversary Dashey! I really like this pic you did, (saved to my computer). Also, I'm looking pretty good there, good work.

I think it looks amazing. Nice work, and once again, congrats on your forum anniversary. You're a great person and we all enjoy having you here. /)

[Sky Warden 2,243]

Stay for one more year here or I will hunt you and I will kill you! >:v

 

Congrats Dashey! I think I haven't talked to you that much, but you're an enjoyable guy to hang with. I really love the group picture, and I'm using it as my wallpaper now, even though my OC looks happy and silly there there (and with no eyebags).

[Spiritual Nightmare 88]

Congrats on being here for a year! longer than me *cough*

Anyways, we/I hope that you can stay here for as long as possible and have fun along the way!

*hug*

Thanks Harmonic, I'm glad you and everyone else has been so welcoming this past year. 
And you got the art prize, so you can either redeem that at my Commission shop or gift it to someone, just let me know what ya' want with it :3

Do you have a certain set of skills? :3

That's kinda what I was going for, I thought... hmmmm, how can I make Sky Warden slightly a troll in this picture? Stealing the cake... xD
Anyways, had fun doing it.

It's not hard to stay here for a long time when it's such an awesome place! :3 And thank you! I'm sure you'll find a way to stay here awhile too!

Coding, writing, martial art, vector drawing, networking, etc. :3

Why do people always see me as a troll? I'm a shut-in in real life. D: 

 

The eye bags dude... the eye bags. >:vvv

 

 

The image is too big, I can only see my OC's legs in the wallpaper.

 

 

Let's see if I can repay you in my anniversary or not. I can't draw, so I will go with something codish. ;3

Yeah, good point. AND IF ANYPONY WANTS ME TO LEAVE THEY NEED YOUR PERMISSION FIRST MMKAY?!

No, but honestly, I can't remember if I signed up for your wallpaper o-o

Otherwise, it looks beautiful! Keep up the good work RDashey owo

[elbj 190]

Congrats again on the one year anniversary! Awesome work on the painting. I'm kind of jealous of Batbrony's six-pack. Keep up the great work

Sorry, I was drawing off of little references about 200px big, so I didn't see them, sorry :c

If you want to resize the picture, you have the go ahead to make it fit your screen x3 Crop however you like.

(I only think of you as a troll cuz you are pretty funny in the forum games)

Nah, no big deal. 

 

I won't crop it. That will break the atmosphere. I will resize the picture instead. The image isn't 4:3, so I will add some space to make it so.

Nope, nor is it 16:9, it's an ugly pixel ratio.

I know right? I think everyone deserved a six pack in this picture to make it fair x3

Imagine Kaynah with six pack.

 

Hmm... well... thanks again for the drawing. I really need more pictures of my OC since I only had a couple of it before. XD

[~ Piston ~ 83]

Congrats, bud! The picture looks bucking amazing, really enjoyed the video too!

 

Happy one year forum-versary, here's to many more /)

[fimdash 1,196]

Honestly, that picture is so freaking cool. It really shows how this forum is a great place for making new friends and connecting with one another. I'm glad to hear that your year here has been an amazing experience, and I hope that it will continue to be so. Great job on it, Rainbow Dashey!

[Orablanco Account 3,707]

 

I LOVE YOU TOO, MAN.

 

This is really freaking nice, dude. You have one of the best non-show styles of all the artists here.

 

Here's to another year of incredible-ness.

[Princess Periwinkle 3,775]

I love it. :3

 

This is badly cropped, but I can't really do anything about it because of the aspect ratio.

 

 

Added to my wallpaper rotation.

[Concord 1,982]

Hello!

 

 

Are you telling me, I really, actually missed this?!

 

*Ahem*...

 

Very nice work there! The picture looks awesome, the OC's look great, and the scene looks awesome too... I hope, next time, I'll make the cut .

[Bronyette 835]

:wub:

Wow! I love it so so much! Thank you for taking the time to do that, even though people should be giving you art and not the other way around.

 

Hey, Could I draw your character as a present? I feel like I did nothing to deserve being in the picture. Plus I love giving art to people that deserve it. XD

Edited August 6, 2013 by Bronyette

[Blue Moon 6,341]

This is amazing! I love the style all the OCs were drawn in. It's so cute!

 

Anyway, this looks amazing with all the OCs together. Thanks for doing this, and Happy Forum-versary!

 

I think I'll put this as my desktop wallpaper despite the fact that it doesn't fit. It's too awesome not to use.

[Zygen 6,066]

Wow, this turned out pretty cool(I SEE MY OC STICKING HIS HEAD DOWN . Stalker OC go go.)

 

Happy forum-a-versary! Well late Forum-a-versary! Hope you stick around for many more .

Heh, you are welcome x3 I just wanted to give a little something back.

You don't have to draw him, but if you really want to, he is a pegasus, and hit cutie mark is a cloud with a light blue guitar pick. x3
