PMV: Anime Intro Edition!

I went through a pretty big anime phase a while back. I still check it out every once in a while.

This first one definitely looks like it would work for a Japanese release of the show, and kind of makes me want a side FiM series with a continuous adventure plot or something. One can dream I suppose.

No clue what the second one is, but maybe some of you do!

1.) What if MLP:Friendship is Magic was an anime...
2.) Trust Me Ponies!

9 Million Hits! Comics, Super Saiyans, and Trixie!

That was fast!  Looks like 10 million will happen before season two after all!

I'm glad the pony craze didn't die down with season one over.  I am not getting any of that planned coding eduction done, but at least we are all entertained while we wait right?

Lurid from the Ponycraft.net server sent me the comic to the left. I had plans to visit and report on each of the pony minecraft servers, but you guys keep me pretty busy!  Hopefully I can find time for that soon.  I still really want to try that whole journalism thing out.

And of course Madmax can be found up above!

As for future events... Lets see...

The Friend-off got delayed, again, if you haven't already noticed.  Phoe is doing the drawing event, Cereal is busy IRL, and I am completely flooded with site management stuff as is, so It will have to wait until things open up a bit!  This next one will be a reverse friend-off.  Drawfriends Write, and Writefriends draw.  Should be interesting.

Anyway I'm off to bed.  Enjoy the completely obvious over 9million theme.  As if you didn't see THAT one coming.  I really missed making banners.  It's one of the more fun things to do with the site.

Story: In Tooth and Mane (Update: Episode 2 Part 1!)

[Normal][Adventure] So many epic adventure fics lately! I can't keep up!


Author: Aquaman52

Description:  Infallible virtue is a blessing bestowed upon far too few these days.  For six of Ponyville's most upstanding residents, it was never a problem.  Now, it may become the only thing that keeps them alive.

A dark presence has swept over Equestria, bringing with it a threat that even Princess Celestia couldn't have predicted would befall their peaceful nation.  With their homeland on the brink of total destruction, Twilight Sparkle and the other Elements of Harmony must push the values they embody to their limits if they hope to defeat the physical manifestations of the Seven Vices and prevent the awakening of a force far more powerful than any of them could hope to defeat.

An epic adventure told over the course of eight lengthy episodes, In Tooth And Mane chronicles the quest Twilight and her Ponyville friends must undertake to save Equestria once again, and the dangerous paths of self-discovery and self-sacrifice that each must travel down in order to find out whether the magic of friendship is powerful enough to overcome the corrupting influence of pure evil itself.

Newbie Artist Training Grounds: Day 6

You know, it's getting harder and harder to find good, sketch-style images that are relevant to the day's gallery theme. I may need to start raiding your earlier submissions if I want to maintain this visual style. And I do! It's how you know it's me posting these and not Emergency-Sethisto. Today's been an interesting day. We've been having some major storms brewing overhead of Phoeville, and I found myself - without thinking about it or attempting to make a joke - looking up at the sky and asking if the pegasus ponies could reschedule. Damn it, I want Equestrian weather.

Speaking of the little flying ponies, you guys sent in quite a lot of them! I'm counting 230 entrants in this year's Best Young Flier competition. Power outages last night prevented me from telling you my "two dollar banana" story like I promised. Find that and ponies, after the break! Remember to follow the submission guidelines when sending in tomorrow's pictures. I've gotten a couple of requests to point ponies in this direction again, and since I'm such a generous ruler, have some pony drawing guides!

The Theme of the Day

Draw a pony as a filly (or a colt). Ok class, it's time to work on your proportions! Don't forget, little foals have different body structures from fully grown (but still little) ponies. Now, I can think of at least two different ways to pun your way out of this assignment, but I'm sure there are more. Good luck finding them!
