A Night-Mare Series (Help Needed)


Rascal~

Recommended Posts

So hey everyone, Rascal here.

So, since I got my drawing tablet and now paint tool Sai I have set myself a goal for my artistic skills. 

I want to do a series of pictures, all of which feature a Nightmare-fied Pony! 
There will be a line art picture, then I coloured picture, all of which are a standard picture with the same pose for everypony. Then a line art and coloured version picture of each pony in a totally different pose for each one, and maybe for the two coloured pics of each pony I'll do a background too. 
I know it seems like a really big challenge, and ho hell it sure is. But I really want to do this so that my skills get really better and so that I can learn how to use Paint tool Sai properly too. 

But right now, I do need some small help. Mainly names. I have some names for some ponies already, and I'm sticking with those, but I do need names for them. And also any other ponies you want to see done would be noted too since I would like more to do than the princesses and the Mane six

 

Ones I've got:

Luna- NightMare Moon (duh)
Celestia- NightMare Solstice
Cadence- NightMare Lust
Rarity- NightMare Jewel

Rainbow Dash- NightMare Storm

AppleJack- Nightmare Reaper

 

Ones I need:

Fluttershy

Pinkie Pie

Twilight Sparkle

Derpy Hooves

Vinyl Scratch

and anypony else you want to see drawn!

 

Oh, and also. The pictures!

Okay, here are my suggestions and a wee explanation for each idea.

Fluttershy - NightMare Solitarie
Fluttershy is the loner of the group. While she enjoys company, she is still shy and keeps her distance. Thus I thought of making her dark self an exaggeration of that nature.

Rainbow Dash - NightMare Storm

Dash is an athletic and show off and fame hound. So I thought of something loud, powerful, destructive and impossible to ignore

 

AppleJack - NightMare Reaper
I found this tough, but then I thought of AJ. She's a farmer who most often bucks for apples. While not alter the theme of that and make her a reaper?

Pinkie Pie - NightMare Phantasm
A big stretch I admit. Pinkie is a forth wall breaking party lover. So I thought of reality warper who drives others to madness.

 

Twilight Sparkle - NightMare Vespers
Very tough but the word vespers is for a near dark time that is for a religious ritual. I know it's a Catholic term, but I don't think anyone would mind.

I hope this helps!

Oh, those two are awesome. Definitely Picking those.  

 

Though if you guys want an idea of what I'm looking for in a name it's really just either their talent, abilities, or something that fits with their position/title. 

Like for example, Celestia is Solstice duly because she is the Princess of the sun and Solstice is a sun word, like with Luna and NightMare Moon. 

With Cadence, Her talent/magical power is love. Making others feel and enjoy love and all that nonsense, hence the name Lust. Its a darker tone (show standard) to love, because it's not actually love more or less the feel of attractiveness to someone else, and it fits as well. 

With Rarity, I know her going NightMare is somewhat cannon since it happened in the comics, though I haven't read them so I don't know what exactly went down, but I know she Went all Nightmare on us. And since in the comic they only called her Nightmare Rarity, and many people disagree with giving her a name because really in cannon her name is NightMare Rarity. But she's could jewel because of her talent, her element may be generosity but her talent is finding jewels and then making fabulous on her dresses and such. So she's named after her talent essentially. 

 

Hopefully that helped you guys with coming up with names, they should namely roll off the tongue and fit with the character at hand. I was thinking that maybe with Twi to call her NightMare Mage, simply because Nightmare magic is too close to her element/talent and doesn't sound as fitting. But I'm unsure what exactly to call her though

Perhaps Nightmare Soul or Nightmare Heart for Fluttershy? She's often found as kind and gentle, but if she were presented darkly, then it would have something to do with her emotions right? Her heart, soul, feelings, deep thoughts.

 

How about Nightmare Necromancy or Nightmare Necromancer for Twilight Sparkle? The words themselves mean an abomination to magic rights and of the sort. A magician that practices the opposite of what would be good magic.

 

I couldn't think of one for Pinkie Pie.

In my opinion, Pinkie Pie should be Nightmare Pie, as she would have a dark appearance but still be happy & playful.

I don't know, that's just how I imagine things going down.

Hey, are there any other options?

Either way, I'll come up with something. I'll be all for Nightmare Pie until then.

@@Crimson,

Sorry Crimson But NightMare Pie will never be chosen now.

@@Silverwisp the Bard,  
Thank you so much Silverwisp, the pinkie and Vinyal ones are amazing. I'm still iffy with all the names for Twi, but your one is High on my list of names for her. 
And please do, I hope to be updating it every couple days or more often since I work on the pics for hours on end each day. 

I'm also working on doing videos that will be like speed paints, once I figure out the bloody new software and fasten the speed. I've just posted a video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsQgt6OkEPw ) but of course my little tweakings didn't work so oh well. And of course no sound or anything, it is just a trial run.
