Going to dump a few of the pics from the previous thread. So far, this board has produced (names still in development): >Fireaxe: the mascot of /mlpol/'s /rwss/ >Leslie Fair (F): the Libertarian/Ancap pone >Happy Enning (M): The Happening Pone >Mai Gaia (F): The MAGA pone >ICE (F): The Immigration/Law Enforcement pone >Rem Move (F): The Kebab-removal Pone (soon to have a brother) Ideas for the further development of any of these characters (or new ones) are very much encouraged. They're still in development, so if you have questions or suggestions about their appearances or personalities, please speak up These characters were created on this board, but several /mlpol/-adopted fan characters also exist, including: >Aryanne: Nazi hoers and /mlpol/'s default mascot >Syrianna: Syria's Nation-pone, and mascot of /mlpol/'s /sg/ >Franzika, Kyrie, Lufkrieg, and all of Aryanne's volk >Veronika: The communist pone (if you care) If you have any other /mlpol/-fitting characters you know of, please let us know in this thread. All artwork, writing, questions and discussions are welcome. Pls forgive. I suck at starting pony threads.
App has it moments so each time may take longer per coloring. For the cutie mark for Rem and Vald >Brother is Vald now Im thinking Vald has the Ruby and pearls, while Rem has the star with a blank spot where the gem would be. Other Ideas welcomed for this
>>40730 Picsart. One of their updates wiped out alot of old work so I have not updated it. I decided I might as well, but before I did I installed it for someone else. It was gutted to be like Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Deviant art and myspace all in one. So I can't update it. Its what Ive used for a long ass time now for shops to coloring to drawing
>>40732 You certainly do a good job with the colors. I've been trying to subtly shift this RD tattoo into Aryanne for 3 days now... Speaking of colors, have we come to a consensus on Vlad and Rem Yet? I'm thinking yellow-orange for Rem, and Gray-slate for Vlad.
>>40742 Thats what im going for with em. >>40685 For tat, its just trial and error until you get the scheme right. Have you taken a brush tool to it, setting the transparency on a lower % to slowly change its color?
>>40742 The silver color of the original has always been pretty much the only way I could think of the pony. But I guess that so long as Vlad (Vald?) is grey or silver I guess an experiment could me made with the female pony to model her more off of the Yugoslav civil war
>>40747 >setting the transparency on a lower % to slowly change its color? I tried that on a bunch of other drafts; it's just not easy... I guess I might just be getting to obsessive about it though. My end goal was to subtly recolor RD as as Aryanne, and then shoop violet-tinted glowing eyes onto the finished product and tweet it to him. It's mostly just a practice project to get used to the tools I have access to for digital pics. I've also been trying to color vectors for pones.
>>40750 I was thinking slate, so that he would match the other Slav pone in that regard: I thought it would be nice to have one that isn't a commie. As for Rem, I think her original color-scheme works out fine.
>>40754 I don't know if this has any relevance to any thing or is just pedantry, but the model (Vlad Dracul) probably wasn't slavic, but was probably the decedent of one or another set of invading Central Asian raiders. The Family name of his grandfather was of Turkic origin, probably Cuman or Pecheneg. Stoker's Dracula was a Magyar noble. In fact, the Vampire accent depicted in media is a Hungarian accent.
But on a less autistic note, I really like the light grey/silver of the drawings from the other thread.
Eh, I guess I mixed him up with the Slavic vampire folktales and the Translyvania batpone that I heard about back in the communist pony thread two months ago. I think slate looks good though.
So, I was practicing drawing horses, because they're easier to draw than ponies for me at this stage, when I wondered: What exactly is the pattern of Happy Enning's mane? How much red/purple does he have, and in what places? Is it just a single stripe of red, or is there more in the back?
Also, if anyone has some unfinish pony sketches/vectors that I could practice on, That would be much appreciated.
>>40772 Its a strip of read that travles down the middle. With this goggles on, the right purple is mostly tucked away >Working on back shots of him for refrence Tail has a red in the middle in between purple
>>40780 A side profile would be nice too, or at least a rough sketch so I can tell how where to put what color and how long the hair is. After lurking /mlp/ for a month, I've come to see that a character's silhouette/vector is perhaps the most important part. Since there aren't that many artists on this site producing OC, it may be important to establish the character's shapes spo that they don't just end up as blobs of color, as Leslie is right now (currently a recolor of a recolor). >>40795 Ebin!
>>40803 Im giving it a go but ive never had a style of any kind. Im hoping to provide enough rough sketches until someone comes along and can make it user friendly. >Fire Penis Jebuz
>>40804 >Im hoping to provide enough rough sketches until someone comes along and can make it user friendly. Well, you're doing a good job as of so far. I'm still learning as of now, but I hope to get a hang of it soon. Gotta log off. Work tomorrow.
>>40795 Im getting ready to make backside shots with the cutie marks. Should Vald keep his? Should I split it >>40721 ? What would Rem have then, if not? Dose Vald have another symbol or item worthy?
I'm not so sure that his hat was so much of a symbol as it was his favorite piece of jewelry. The really symbol of the Dracula order is actually this burning cross thing (also, the dragon choking itself). I don't know why I didn't bring it up earlier. Colors on the cross may need to be altered to contrast the hide.
>>40879 But I love his hat... Also, Vlad will have an optional hat to wear. I had given Rem at first an Iron Cross so this will be perfect to do I think. Im thinking the cross can be orange ruby and the feather look on the ends can be either pink pearl or remain the gold. Im leaning pearl. Also next image is going to have Ice included with Rem and Vald
>>40995 I think part of the appeal of a character with glasses is that you can picture them thinking just about anything behind the glass. It's also a good excuse for a character with that seems bipolar at times. I personally thought of Ice as a kind of hard-boiled, cop-like character while she's working, but it'd be nice to give her a cuter side as well.
I think that the best way to make OC that the entire board will use is to make reaction images, they are good for those who have little/no art ability like me.
I am the guy that proposed the art idea for ICE, and I just want to say how great of an artist you are for making amazingly high quality OC of a character I made in MS paint, Thank you!
>>41027 Those are just a few examples from google I found, however it is possible to simply take an image and paint over it like I have in MS paint to make semi-original OC.
These Fahrenheit 451 Fireaxe pictures are an example of what I mean. All I did was use the paint bucket tool to do most of the recoloring and then used the pencil to get the individual pixels that did not change.
>>41028 The Fahrenheit 451 Fireaxe was great idea. It makes for great potential alternate universe dystopian stories (also, in term of reaction images, she's literally a inversoion from /rwss/ to /rwds/). >>41029 Keep up the good work, officer.
Hey guys, we're posting a lot of our memes and art etc on Derpibooru right now, with the tag /mlpol/. Feel free to post if you have anything ready. Or don't.
Does anyone else think that Romania Anon's rant could serve as a good supplement for Rem and Vlad's CYOA's? I imagine that Vlad's dark, gloomy character comes from tough life as a Vangaurd, trying to protect gypsy ponies from themselves as much as from the Turks.
>>41222 I do like this alot. Fits them both well tbh. Rem still has that energy quirk that makes her poetic rants much more to look forward too when she gets srus OPartfagapprove if that means diddiles
>>41225 Yeah. I'd say Vlad and Rem need just a bit of world-building along with their character building to shell-out their character roles. Was practicing trying to make stick figure comics (lost the draft, sorry). I imagined that the Pope-pony (aka, Kyrie's head badly shooped onto the current pope), assigned their family to Romania to serve as Vanguards against kebab incursion, and that Vlad and Rem were the most recent generation, as Count and vice-count of the ponified Romania. It was just an idea I thought up while playing with awful stick figures. I am somewhat attached to the thought of a Pope-Kyrie CYOA though (due my longing for the next pope to call a crusade).
>>41256 good luck with that. Also, I'd suggest to go a bit more minimalist: few of the ponies in the show wear clothes. For Characters like Rem and Vlad, a chestplate or cape would be more than enough to fill out their roles. I'm still working on my vectors. Currently studying the show-style to get a hang of how to draw ponies. This has been quite a bit of fun.
>>41256 Not to be Nitpicky, but it would be more technically accurate if ICE's uniform were a police-like black and grey, because that is the actual color of ICE Officer uniforms
>>41407 Basing her vest off of a copper-doggo's stab-proof vest wouldn't be a far stretch either, considering she's a quadruped. I've actually tried some dozen times to draw over that pic of a police doggo barking at that one antifa faggot on the beach, in an effort to produce even one original pic of Ice, but I keep fucking up on the face... I'll learn to draw heads some day..
>>41404 I was thinking that too, but didn't for my sketches because I wanted to see them a bit fancy lol. In long term, Vald gets cape, Rem will have that purple neck tie thibg, I forget what it's called, with their outfits gone.Mai is just getting her hat, possibly a tie. >>41414 I can attempt doggos vest for it instead.
I have taken alot of projects on atm, so I might be going into lurking mode for awhile. I will keep up on suggestions and post progress so often. One project that is consuming time is that I want to make ALL of our OC and mascot pones in one image, kinda like pic related. I am NOT that good so this will be a long term. Gibs me a fun break tbh
>>42136 New to this fandom. How typical is it to make OCs related to the show's characters? It seems somewhat cancerous to me, so I wouldn't want to do it if it's unprecedented.
>>42142 >Snowdrop has Ice over for tea >they go for a walk, talking about their lives >Ice sees an illegal and proceeds to beat the shit out of them >Snowdrop is just laughing cheering her on as she cant see whats happening
>>42856 Can you make a version with the axe separate from her (off to the side)? Seeing that sharp tool teeter irresponsibly on her back triggers my autism.
>>42867 I guess that's what I get for being a lazy faggot and not editing it myself... I'm working on my own vector for a death squads pony right now. I'll unveil it later after I finish work.
I swear being bad at filling-in vectors feels like failing Preschool fingerpainting class. I absolutely suck at this digital stuff.. Here's a half-hearted attempt to try to illustrate what Luftkrieg's father would look like. I Imagined he was a solider who died during the war. It's mostly just practice for the death squads pone I was working on. I tried filling-in vectors I found on line to make out the basic shapes, but I think I'll just go back to drawing my own..
White supremacists use the letter/number combination H8 to mean "hate." This usage dates back at least to the 1990s and may originally derive from the punk subculture, but it has become more common in recent years, with the spread of text-message abbreviations. Common motifs for the word include playing cards and billiards balls
So this is literally considered a hate symbol by law enforcement?
>>43010 >So this is literally considered a hate symbol by law enforcement? Not sure about that, but the kikes who run the ADL take that shit incredibly seriously. You'll be surprised at how many symbols, shapes, phrases, and numbers are actually "hate symbols". Did you know that the Triforce is a symbol for the Klan?
>>43012 They already lost when they listed Pepe there. I don't know why anyone would take them seriously after that. I do make a point of reading it though. Using the knowledge of the ADL's database, I've been able to reach new heights of memetic hatred.
>>43008 I do accept that Aryanne helped raise Luftkrieg, but I just couldn't deal with the whole "magical yuri-spawn" bs. I was thinking of writing a long-ass greentext, when I had the time, that involved Kyrie having had a love affair with a maremacht soldier, but never speaking of him after she fled the continent, because the affair was out of wedlock and she was heartbroken that he died.
>>42940 I was surprized they had a black supremacist group in their database, you'd think that such a SJW group would never consider criticizing anything nonwhite. Also, AYAK just sounds like a typo for kayak. Imagine: >Buy kayak >Want to tell your friend >Text friend without double checking >Hey dude, check out my ayak >Suddenly, ADL tolerance troopers storm house >Send you to progressive reeducation camp >They take your home >They take all your money >They take your kayak
>>43020 Back in the day, black supremacist groups were largely influenced by radical Islam, meaning they targeted Jews as much as whites. This was back before the Jews had the idea to use Mudshits to weaken the West, so it makes sense that they'd put them there.

>>43489 Yeah, I didn't really think when making this thread. It was meant to be mostly discussion and search of existing /mlpol/-tier OCs, but I called it an art thread because I wanted content.
>>43769 The Imperial Japanese pone, and "Honorary Aryan", made in part to encompas the "Jews fear the Samurai" meme on /pol/. She's one of Aryanne's allies. I took a liking to her, because I used to be a massive weeb... The pics you see in this thread are the only pics of her that currently exist, so I thought I'd do the character a favor and colorize one of her old pics.
>>43814 Well shit I need to get around to learning how to make my own OC sometime. Thing is I don't think I have any talent and I certainly don't have any experience >>43817 Yeah recoloring vectors is the best path of expansion for OC
>>43831 Most of our OC are recolors anyways. Can't the original manes be left behind in most instances (like both Aryanne and Leslie are Rainbow Dash Recolors. ICE is a Pinkamena recolor - harder to find - but still)
>>43840 Well, thread of course. It's going to be a thread. Although, I have my doubts for it lifting off. In the meantime, anyone could ask for advice here I guess.
>>43838 Cann't commit completely (gotta work overtime to keep the business afloat), but won't object. It's me who has been asking for a lot of the advice anyway.
>>44081 >the cutie mark is a snowflake in a badge Cute. These are really nice. Though should she have the word "ICE somewhere on her? Either on a vest or on her Cutie mark? I guess it would be hard to make a vest, and the snowflake is there to symbolize it it, so it may be unnecessary
>>44084 Working on vest later. Have to hand draw it so posted blue-print. ICE is on the chest and collar once done. >>44086 I liek the idea of that tbh.
>>44074 >>44075 >>44081 >Mfw I spent an hour trying to recolor those vectors, only to come back to see that someone else did it twice as well as I did, and was able to do the badge and glasses on top of it Amazing work, m8. I love your content. I may as well hunt for moar vectors.
Also, should ICE have a first/last name? ICE is a little lacking for a pony name. I was thinking a name that started with P, like Polly or Paula (since 8/pol/'s "Right Wing Deportation Squads" was originally called "/pol/ICE", as in "police"), but I've yet to find a name that sounds good enough...
>>44106 I used the paint bucket for it then uesed phone for the photoshop, just easier for me that way. PractivePracticePractice. http://www.onlinephotoshopfree.net/ I agree with a proper name for ICE. I have nothen atm, so lets get some community input on this, ja? >Polly Ice >Paula Ice >Poliisi Ice, Fin for Police
>>44109 >>44106 I don't know if this matters, but the law enforcement sub-agency she is based on is called "ERO," or Enforcement and Removal Operations. They are one of ICE's police branches and the one most responsible for going door to door arresting people
>>44505 Also, isn't it great how Schutzstaffel means "Protection Squads"? Also, I had the idea for a whole name for Fireaxe: how about Frieda Axmann? I got the name from Artur Axmann, the German national leader of Hitler Youth. I thought it would be nice to name her after him because he he helped develop nationalism and good citizenship for young Germans by having them volunteer as firefighters. Frieda is a German name i thought would be good because it's kind-of sounds like "fire": it means "peaceful ruler". >tfw Her cutie mark is a subtle fascist symbol
Would anyone be interested in two new ocs? One representing /vx/: >I was thinking some sort of conspiracy theorist oriented pony mixed in some Lovecraftain esque cultist because I can't enough of that and it's an interesting spin. Somepony that could represent /vx/. Maybe a breed that kind of resembles Reckless, or at least the pattern. Other idea for the design would be a long, light mane that slightly frayed, and cold, stark eyes (maybe a blueish green.) And another being an antifa pony sort of as a joke and lewd.
I have a lot in mind for them, and would like to know there's interest here.
>>44552 I already have a clear idea for how I want the antifa pone to look like, whereas I want to flesh out the /vx/ pony a bit more before working on the design. I'm going to try to avoid taking inspiration from /x/-tan, so that she doesn't come off as derivative.
>>45246 I thought a name that started with F would be better, since "Fire" wouldn't be the best first name. I mostly just wanted something that complemented Axmann.
>>45251 See >>44514 I thought it'd be nice to name her after Artur Axmann: the Hitler Youth leader who taught young men good citizenship by having them volunteer as firefighters.
>>45258 Although every time I hear "Frieda" I think of Frida Khalo, that ugly Mexican Communist artist. >name means something along the lines of "noble" Well, there are quiet a number of Germanic names derived from "noble." The top part of this link has a list if you are interested in exploring http://www.babynames.ch/Info/Language/laOldGerman?listType=LanguageOfOrigin&page=2 >>45260 >creates pic relates and titles it "The Heart of a Nation" I like this artist
>>45263 >Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Kate and I'm a 24 years old right-winger, gamer and former EA Forums moderator Nice DA account description. Her requirements for commissions seem pretty strict - she wants to be paid in Deviant Art account points and wants you to have created at least one OC image of your own and uploaded it to deviant art. Her facebook page and youtube accounts center on racing games... Interesting https://www.youtube.com/user/KateTakanashi
I think it's worth contacting her, and see if she interested in mlpol, or at least creating a vector or two for some of our OCs. Having some help from a vector artist would be pretty great.
>>45262 Well the name Frederika, Fredericka, Federica, Freda, Frida, Frieda, Frederike and all names with that root all have meanings akin to "safety".
>>45269 You do have a point... She does look American; especially since fire Brigades are an American invention. Are there any other Anglo/American names that start with F? Or works that could be used as a name?
>>44511 You got any other old outlines, m8? I found that pic on derpibooru because I recognized your art style. Coloring these has been good practice for me.
Luftkrieg's creator here, I've been meaning to reply to this thread for a while. I do like Luftkrieg's "father" being Aryanne. But I like to see what other come up with on how she was born, and other things, I honestly I like making things ambiguous so I can see what other comes up with.
>>45470 That's enough proofs for me. I love your OC BTW. >What else do you want me to give? Moar art, especially the kind depicting Luftkrieg in a Hitlerjugend in form. If you could even do a pic of her volunteering as a firefighter with Fireaxe (see >>44514 ), that would be spectacular. Sorry if I'm being greedy. I just really like your artstyle.
>>45461 Ambiguity is good: it allows for the community to present the characters in multiple ways. I prefer the idea that Luftkrieg's father was a soldier who died in a war; although I respect the prospect that Aryanne fulfilled that role in raising her, like the rest of the community has accepted.
>tfw Fireaxe is so unique and original that a nufag like me can't just recolor other pony's vectors to produce content I need moar content for /rwss/, but my skills are lacking... Does anybody have any vectors with similar bangs?
>>45666 I thought of Octavia myself, but that stretching it, and I do not want to abuse this OC by crapping out shitty sonic-fanart tier pics. I'm currently in the process learning to draw my own vectors. I think I'll just trace her face on paper 100+ times until I get a hang of it.
>>45420 I don't think I have anything else that really needs coloring (that's political at least), besides maybe this one picture that I kind of stopped working on.
>>40879 I considered putting the Dracula insignia in a shield to make it pop out more. In hindsight, it just looks bad and makes the CM more complicated to draw... It's just an idea though.
>>45790 Really? Did it in ten minutes. I just posted what I made of it to show the artist I didn't ask him for nothing. It's good if you like it, I guess.
>>45786 It is pretty, I was just concerned that it may be too complicated for other Anons to want to draw.. I'm new to the fandom though, so I'm not familiar with CM standards.
>>46001 I was in that thread and said the guy shilling for the hezbollah flag wasted it, it was the 1776 get and not the 1777. I have no idea why you replied to me when I was talking to the other guy.
>>46654 Pretty nice! I think you've most got the legs right. I would say though that the neck is a bit too long, and the lower part of the neck is as wide as the torso, so it's not clear where the neck ends and the torso begins. I'm less certain about the muzzle, maybe make it begin lower. The ponies in the show have fairly indistinct muzzles, where it's kind of hard to see where they begin and end on the face
>>46663 Thanks. It was supposed to be inclided in next chapter about Leslie Fair and her life in ancap society. I am hoping to get some green going again sometime.
>>46668 Thank, I will try it with new drawing next time.
>>46654 >>46654 Looks good, much better than what I would be able to make. Perhaps inkscape is your thing and make her in vector graphics, looks like it would fit that art-style. But use the tools you are comfortable with. https://inkscape.org/en/
>>46707 You don't need a tablet to draw vectors. It is just mathematical lines (or some better explanation). Simple way to say it is you basically set two points, and a line is drawn between them. You can then click on a point on that line and drag out an extra point from it and set the curve that should be to that line (or something).. >I am bad at explaining >pic related is vector art
>>46727 Oh, well. I know this tool. I used it when making that picture I uploaded. Gimp 2 has it. Thanks for the advice anyway, hopefully I'll remember the name of the software next time someone else will need help with getting one.
>>46654 The pose is a human pose, yet she is a pony. That is the biggest mistke which causes the anatomy to fail. A load of good references are in the show if one wanted know how a pony would sit, that or vectors are easily available.
>>46727 >mfw didn't even think of this >mfw I've been trying to learn to draw "vectors" with a fucking mouse all this time >mfw I just thought I was really bad at digital art All. That. Time. WASTED!
>>46765 No learning is wasted. And your art is beyond superb. If you can't draw no software will make it better, and you can draw really well.
If you want to continue with that images in vectors there is a function in inkscape (and other vector drawing software) to convert bitmap into vector. You can then alter the lines you want to.
>>46779 Oh... Thanks. I've mostly just been fucking around with line art though. >tfw you accidentally saved your colorization as a .jpeg with %80 quality, and now it looks like a fucking nazbol meme
>>47998 I'll take a crack at it later but be warned I've never written one before, still seems easy enough I'll just read a few on /mlp/ that seem well written to get the format down.
>>49021 Interesting, I wonder if he wil attempt to make sfw EqG version. Like when she sits by the desk, with maps and compass, doxxing rebels and their training camps.
>>49026 >EqG version I didn't see very much EqGay styled art on his page, but I would encourage you to try to contact him via derpibooru so that either him or one of his friends could draw-up a version of her in that manner: she could make for a great GR15-evasive waifu (alias: "Syria-chan") that could be cross-posted to/from 4cuck.
>>49026 Nope. I dont work on that style. Actually I have no specific style defined yet so you may see many of my recent drawings and sketches different one each other.
Also, I dobut I would draw Syriana like you said. She`s a girly mare who likes to do comfy things in company with Mr Barrel. Maybe lewd things in >nohooves style.
>>44081 That design for the snowflake-badge wasn't meant to be the "official" drawing-style for the CM, was it? It's far too difficlut to reproduce with all of those spines: It's too hard to draw the same way every time like that, and shrinking/shooping it for use makes it look like the mark of the Jude. Three converging lines/spines should be enough to stand for a hexagonal snowflake. I'll try to draw a simplified version when I have the time. pic entirely unrelated
>>49293 *Comes up with a hunch* It can't be that bad. Proactive mods are good conversation contributors. I guess it just means that the name Freida Axmann is here to stay.
>>49382 I still call her Fireaxe, but see Frieda Axmann as her full name. Think Pinkie Pie, whose full name is Pinkamena Diane Pie. Hell, Aryanne has a full name, Aryanne Hoofler.
>>49386 >Hell, Aryanne has a full name, Aryanne Hoofler.
She even has a middle name and nicknames. Its always nice to give your pony more depth to make her more of fleshed out personality behind the cartoon horse facade. Gives the character more grounding towards a less idealistic child cartoon world.
>>49450 >Hermine Ah, nice etymology. In terms of the Germanic version, it stands in for the feminized form of Hermann, which means "soldier". It mashes well with her military theme.
Know any other hidden names from characters created in the Aryanne threads that you could share?
Not much to tell here officialy. Development for the side characters wasnt very heavy in general since the Aryanne threads usually lacked a reliable writer. The related creators either never bothered or never delivered. Personally, I always thought the names Wagner (for the Pegasus) and Manegele (for the Unicorn) meshed well.
>>49450 >White Death That's an awesome name. A google search shows it's the nickname for Simo Häyhä, a Finnish sniper who killed 259, or perhaps as many as 505 Soviet soldiers in the Winter War. "White Death" also sounds like a kick ass name for a a soldier of the White reactionary forces of the Russian civil war
>>49525 I can get that much, I was just thinking that that particular snowflake starts to look like the star of David when you shrink it too small. It's no big deal though. I was just getting finicky about it. The snowflake in the badge is a great design, and I'm sure a popular way of drawing it will emerge eventually. >>49528 Th-thanks.. That was just some coloring practice using pic related. I've found it to be pretty hard to find good line-art depicting unicorns, because so many depict European unicorns (Goat-like, cloven hooves, beard, long tail), while the show style is based off of the Arabian variety (just a hoers with a horn). It's even harder when looking for Western-Styled paintings.
>>49536 Yeah, I hope others hop on for it. My rl got fuckton busy and all my electronics are one by one offing themselves it seems. >I have many shops near done but can't even get them out of the saved for later gallery Any simple snowflake design would work as long as it is easy to redraw.
I tend to make a hybrid of pony and my abstract. Its hard trying to leave out that part of my work
>>49543 >I tend to make a hybrid of pony and my abstract. Its hard trying to leave out that part of my work Don't leave too much out: go for what you're comfortable with. Art is ultimately best when you do it in your own style, even if it is great to study/try-out other styles to expand your scope of skills (which is why I'm so intent on experimenting with this digital stuff). The ball looks like its starting to budge. I hope to draw-in moar content creators some time. pic unrelated
So, the bump limit has been raised? What's the new ceiling? Also, I'm thinking of leaving "art thread" out of the title for the next thread. The original thread wasn't just an art thread, but a discussion-based thread for development and discovery of OCs that fit /mlpol/'s gig. I feel like putting "art thread" at the top has discouraged Anons from participating in the development of the OCs, or implied that we didn't want pre-existing pics of OCs to be posted. Maybe there could be a drawthread somewhere else, if enough Anons were up for it to participate.
>>49593 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TxrTD2PKG0k Here's a video which sort of provides insight about them. There are probably better sources of information about the movement if you search "Identitarian" on YouTube or Google or whatever.
>>49595 >>49591 Interdasting… Jewgle search tells me these guys are related to the "hipster right", brought up in >>46328 → I'm thinking of tough, masculine bronze Pegasus with a Spartan theme, maybe? The cutie mark could be a Spartan Lambda: the shield that long ago defended the West from sandnigger hoards. It'd also be cool, because it's nice to give a classical Greek theme to Pegasus characters.
I think that would look good with Leslie, she has an identical color scheme. Also bundling her up with identitarian ideology would help to move her away from leftist anarchism.
>>49653 Eh… Leslie really is the libertarian/Anarcho-capitalist pone though. Mixing her up with identitarian politics would kind of dilute/spoil her character, wouldn't it? The two characters wouldn't really have very much in common, aside from that they share similar colors, and are both right-wing(ish). Libertarians aren't so concerned with national borders (although they're fierce about property rights), while Identitarians are adamant about them. Why not just make the identitarian pone a different hue, like yellow closer to bronze? I think it's be better for a Spartan pony to be male anyway: that way we could base him off of Leonidas.
Alright, I’m just gonna try and compile a list of all the OCs, that I can remember, that this board has/may adopt (not gonna include descriptions, because I’m tired; If you want to know more about any of them, just ask). Please add any other names of OCs that you know of, that you’d like to see more of on this board, to this list: First , I guess we’d include the OCs created in the Aryanne threads: >Aryanne >Kyrie >Franziska >Luftkrieg >Lina >Leonie >Breta >Mitsuko >*Prominent “Aryan Ponies”* Others that match with /mlpol/ topics: >Milo Highliss >Syriana >Veronika (still a political pony, I guess) >*Any popular “nation ponies” for countries of interest* >*Any prominent “political ponies” that you may know of OCs that were created/completed on/for this board: >Happy Enning >Rem Move >Vlad Move >Mai Gaia >Leslie Fair >ICE (Paula Ice?) >Fireaxe (aka Frieda Axmann) >Smoke stack >Report stat
Yes and No. You cant really have 4 dozen individual characters dedicated to obscure groups or ideologies. One simply cant expect them all to be genuine, good looking and fully supported by community & artists. Many end up in the next ditch because people either dont care about them or dont like them.
Good Pony OCs in particular are hard to come by. For the sake of MLPOL I would suggest to stick more to the OCs we already have. Leslie, Syriana and Fireaxe are all pleasant as far as my judgement goes.
>>49652 >>49653 Definitely think bronze would work and make more sense.
>>49664 OCs dont have to be "good" or "fleshed out" to be made. A pony should be as popular as it's associated movement. If the Identitarian movement is small and temporary, so should be the OC. There's no reason to approach every OC like it's some epic meme that everyone will recognize. If the subject matter of the OC is good enough, it will stick, and if not relevant enough, it will become forgotten and so be it. Mixing and mashing OCs just makes the OC a hodgepodge of different peoples opinions and takes the OC in too many directions, ruining its purity and impact.
Theres a difference between OCs and memes, and while an OC can be included in a meme, it shouldnt be appropriated into being the meme itself.
If you don't think the OC will be good enough for the movement, either meme other preexisting OCs without changing their cutie marks, or just dont make one. Also, the OC in question should at least make sense in the meme such as a nazi pony rather than an ancap.
>>49683 I agree. An obscure OC can still exist, even if it's only for a couple situational reaction images. Such OCs don't really need very much group effort to develop, but just one artfriend making the memes of his/her OC for his own use.
I'm just gonna post my ICE photo edit here because I'm a narcissistic faggot who wants to show off his progress; and I want to spur a bit more discussion about her character, before this thread kicks the bucket. So I get that her character is based on the "Ice-Cold" archetype: Would that be akin to the "hard-boiled cop" archetype? Or would she be like more like the Men In Black styled government agent, who shows up suddenly for special task enforcement, instead of being the regular patrolling officer? I myself, am more partial to the later option, since the show already has a police hoers (Copper Top) and it's best to try to purify solidify character before deviating from her original theme, although I would like to see her portrayed in a lot more R-rated police themes (Copper Top's the good cop, but sometimes you need a bad cop to do the job). On another note, I kind of also like the thought of her like the thought of being a Kuudere who tries to act cold, but is actually really complex beneath the surface (you should never assume the thickness of the Ice, after all). I think the artist who made the first pic in >>40685 had a good idea to make her secretly very shy/self-conscious, or even sympathetic, when she's not wearing her glasses. The thought of it is just cute to me (also a good excuse for her to always wear her glasses up to her face, instead of letting them casually slide down her muzzle and revealing her eyes like Copper Top does).
The Name of the OC is Viktoria Turner. She seems to be relatively new, the related account of the artist is barely 3 months old.
Vicky is technically not an OC from the Aryanne thread, but she seems to have some loose ties to it and even started drawing Aryanne OC's. The artist herself is decently skilled and does commissions as well for little money.
>>49683 >OCs dont have to be "good" or "fleshed out" to be made.
I respectfully disagree. I value a handful of recognizeable characters with accpetable community backing more than a myriad of obnoxious or poorly designed characters that barely anyone can tell apart aside from their creators. That said, not every train of thought fits with every character, but MLPOl already has a decent amount of characters. Further expansion should be done with care, lest we end up with a Zoo of ugly lolcows.
>>49950 You've got some good points.. Although, I have to say at this stage, most of the development for the new OCs at the top of the thread would come from reaction images/memes that would be reposted by Anons here so that they would have a base to produce /pol/ memes with a pony theme. Don't take my opinion too heavily though, I'm a total nufag to this pony stuff, or creating characters in general. I just hope we can pump out some exploitable memes with the OCs that we have, and then maybe they'll get popular enough for some writefaggotry. I agree that it's pointless to churn-out too many obscure/unoriginal OCs though. On top of the production of useless cancer, unused OCs are just sad to look at. Artistic talent and writefag skills should be observed to developing the ones we have now, or at least to
I found a few (only 8) ponifications of Dracula, under the tag "Vlad Tepes", while looking for Romanian pones. I these were the only pics I thought were worth sharing for thought. I'll look into the "Dracula" tag too later, when I want to consider characteristics for potential headcanons for Rem and Vlad. Anyway, do it seems like basing Rem/Vlad's backgrounds on RomaniAnon's rant (see >>41222 ) was fairly popular. What about the characters themselves though? Should Rem's reflect on any Romanian tradtions/myths? It seems like an interesting train of thought to me.
>>49948 Don't be condescending to your self for promoting your content. Its faggots who are dicks to content creators who have caused this fandom to hemorrhage artists.
>>50710 >unironically cropping your tail I like the tail bun the wat the original guy did it. It was nice, being all wrapped up to avoid catching fire I think only the clothes should change for the 451 version.
>>49948 I like your idea of using the bad cop trope as basis for Paula's character. I would like to introduce an element I see would fit. Now, the movie "Dirty Harry" has more or less been a great influence on my views on justice. That justice is a rigid structure beyond the complications of law. Harry Callaghan has a steadfast perfectly brutal sense of this concept. He is the bad cop, but not corrupt. No, no, the exact opposite of it. I think this can be applied to our very own ICE pony, especially with her situation of dealing with homeland security. Just think about it. The issue of immigration until now had been such under such neglect that I would see anyone in Paula's position grow the deepest sense of contempt for all the trivialities in the way. There's a damn bloody problem in the way, and it's needs to be solved despite the implications. Finally, does someone else that understands this principle comes along to run things. The mare would be relieved with someone like Trump coming into play. Finally some sense. Although, that never stops the senseless, raving loons who think what Paula is doing is the stuff of evil. And, just like that, it's another day of work.
>>50747 Eh, no. I like thed way the tail and hat were before. Also, just keep the 451 (could literall be "squad 451) on the front: SS (safety squads) is a force for good; it doesn't mean anything in the context of Fahrenheit 451. Also, the orange visor looked more badass. Just stick with your original design if you want to do more for 451 Fireaxe.
>>50814 Not the guy who made the 451 OC I just liked the color pattern more than the original Fireaxe. I wanted to take what was best from both and merge them. The helmet and body really didn't work well together in the original and I thought that the 451 had a better color theme which is why I blended the two.
I see it has passed even the new, higher bump limit, and s new thread will be made. When it falls off of the board, it will automatically be added to the archive. We can of course add it to the featured archive as well, so it is never deleted. We can also move it to Golden Oaks.
>>50912 I was thinking of making a new thread actually, for the sake of separating the drawthread and the OC thread. I was just putting it off since this one is still on page one.
>>50913 Okay, we'll do that >>50914 New threads should definitely be made. Possibly more than one. It seems a bit weird storing the art of 4 or so different ponies in the same thread, besides having tutorials for how to do art in the thread
Alright, I'm going to make a new thread some time today, although I'm not the best at making pone threads. How should I phrase the OP to make the purpose clear, and what kind of OP image should I use?
