Also, the fact that I have not banned you despite you continuing to make these posts should be a sign that, hey, maybe you're not going to be smited at the drop of a hat. Just some food for thought. That doesn't mean everyone will like you, but bannings aren't something taken lightly here.

If you want to talk to me about why things are the way they are, my door's open. Ask me on IRC or in PMs and I'll try to answer to the best of my ability. But this thread isn't the place for it. So, chill out and enjoy the horse cartoon.

Also, the youtube shortcode works by pasting the video ID, not the whole URL.

Hmmm...I was hoping they'd just use the pony characters and start with The Muppet Movie. However, it looks like he's putting a lot of work into it so I hope it goes well.

I totally misinterpreted the intent of that thread thanks to it being very, very late (early?) where I am.

:fluttersmith:

But Imma leave what I posted there anyway. I put thought and effort into it, and it is important for every idea to have a vocal detractor so as to avoid hugboxing.

But this can fairly easily be flipped on a macro scale: the vast majority of pony sites allow shipping, along with things that should probably not be seen by the target audience. We do not want to be part of that hugbox, so we do not allow those things here. :pinkieshrug:

So...let's talk about what colour scheme you think looks nicest on the character.

On Moondancer? I don't think the white from the comics looks so good with red hair, she needs a touch of pink or something.

Actually, it's an extremely light "ice gray." If it was pure white then her eyeball whites would need to be tinted slightly blue to contrast against her coat, I.E. Blueblood and Shining Armor.

If we take the size of an apple and use it to measure the height of a pony we can conclude they're the size of a dog.

I think Pink and Yellow looks absolutely adorable. :allears:

The Funko toys are also nice. I just need Rarity and I have the Mane 6 (plus Spitfire.) :yay:

Yeah, for example, RD is a mane dyeruh I mean nevermind, see for yourself :hiiiii:

I really like the color schemes of pretty much everypony. I think Scootaloo and Rarity are my favorites. The super light grey just looks nicer than a full-on white to me. I didn't like Scoot's eyes when I first saw a Crusaders episode, but they've really grown on me. And her mane is fantastic. I hope she doesn't grow it out :ngh:

I would like Spike's colors more if they were just a bit darker in general. The green is too light and the purple looks kinda washed up imo.

Spike's skin is actually darker than Twilight's coat. Here's a comparison between them.
Image

The thing with Spike is that he just doesn't have very much contrast in his colors. Not much about them really stands out. The frills on the side of his head and the scales on his underside are a faded pea-soup green, and even his spines are somewhere in between forest green and lime green. Compare to Twilight; she has a light coat and dark hair, but lancing through the darkness is a streak of magenta just as bright as Pinkie Pie's hair. That sort of alternation between light and dark really gives Twilight a signature look, but Spike's colors are rather muddled together. He stands out largely thanks to the fact that he's a dragon and everyone else isn't. If he were a pony, I suspect his mane would be brighter, likely closer to the shining emerald green of his fire breath.

Well, of course it is, it belongs to the awesomest little filly in the show! :scootawoo: I also like how distinctive it makes her compared to the rest of the mares/fillies (even Dash, who has a surprisingly long mane). But, counterpoint: I've seen art of grown-up Scootaloo with more of a Spitfire or Vinyl Scratch cut, and it was pretty metal.

Now that I think about it, I wonder why his colors are the way they are. I mean, of the rest of the main characters, Applejack, Fluttershy, and Sweetie Belle all have similarly subdued colors. For Applejack it's a reflection of her simple, down-to-earth manner, and for Fluttershy and Sweetie Belle it fits since they're both generally gentle and kind-hearted people. I suppose Spike is also normally helpful and nice, but I think a bit more contrast in him would be called for, so as to represent the ongoing conflict between his draconic instincts and his pony upbringing.


Interestingly, all four of them have green or green-ish eyes.

I think my favor color scheme is the Apple family. I love how the three siblings share the same colors.

And yeah, I'm the Celestia fan boy , but I love the mix of pastels with her Mane and Tai.
