Topic for people who like MLP:FiM

[Hellser]

Recently, Tara Strong tweeted that she's doing some more voice acting. See here. Notice Twilight's ear? Wonder if they're going to upgrade the models some for our Mane.. 7 (if GlimGlam is going to stay)?

The eyes are also different.

...And now, Ladies and Gents. I present to you... New Twilight sprites.

...Say it again. Say it one more time, mouse, if you must. But just remember this. I tower over you.

So what's the deal on this project so far? Welp. Lost all my flash artists. So I'm throwing all the flash work down the drain and using blender models instead by CreatorOfPony. These models STEAMROLL over the gmod pony models. These are so much better in every damn way possible. They're not only easier to animate, they also look so much more show-like. GMOD's ponies when compared to these look like they suffer from a big-headed perspective syndrome -- too big of eyes, head, muzzle, etc.

It only took me a day to learn the essentials I needed to get to animating her immediately. I've already completed her walk cycle.

Oh, they finally released those? Maybe I'm thinking of someone else, but I seem to recall for a long time those weren't made available for some reason.

Time to download and learn Blender!

[Major Cooke]

I think you might be thinking of SFM?

These have been available for a long time. Though I am getting the ball rolling on having those converted (I'm not doing it) for GMOD/SFM use.

ZOOFUCKINGTOPIA BIATCHES!

[wildweasel]

Redfox, if you do not like MLP:FiM, there is no reason for you to be in the thread. It's right there in the title: "Topic for people who like MLP:FiM." Kindly vacate, please.

I had a lot of fun making this. Full on 16 degrees of rotations, all unique. Apologies for the shit quality. It'll get better next time.

[Viscra Maelstrom]

so, changeling episode. i thought it was fun, though not the absolute best in my opinion.

---

specifically, the resolution at the end happens way too quickly. Thorax gets discovered, everyone freaks out, and Spike's kind of "uhhh" about the situation. then he goes back to where he met him, and Thorax is understandably pissed and snarls at him, making Spike almost fall off the cliff again. then it goes like "help me Thorax!" and "why should i help you!" and then sort of "because i should have stood up for you earlier!" and then he gets rescued. i think that could have been a bit better developed, rather than wasting time having the guards laugh at Spike saying he befriended the changeling earlier, because that's so relevant to the plot. but hey, at least Thorax is cute.

[Kostov]

Oh, there are new episodes... man, it's hard to think about MLP these days.

[comet1337]

i wouldn't say the new episode was a dissapointment
but it was less than what it could've been
still good

tho reformed villains is getting a bit stale

[Viscra Maelstrom]

it's not really "reformed villain" as much as it is "defecting from the hive", since it's a changeling from the hive and not the queen herself. and only half of the villains (Discord, Starlight; not sure if Nightmare Moon counts because IIRC she was possessed with darkness or someshit) have been reformed and the others been defeated in some way or form (Sombra, Tirek, Chrysalis)

[DoomRater]

A reformed villain will only happen if this changeling actually manages to learn how to produce love and pass that back on, causing a revolution among kin.

Nightmare Moon DEFINITELY counts.

Finally after months of waiting, PrinceWhateverer has graced us with an extended metal cover of Countess Coloratura's "Spectacle"!

[Viscra Maelstrom]

so, i figured my current reference sheet was a bit too incomplete, so recently i compiled a reference sheet myself, out of important bits of art and old references i had lying around. (big image warning) i'll probably add in a humanized version of Viscra there once i get one, too (not EQ-style, just plain humanized.)
