Pony General:"Season 12 will never air" edition.

It's funny because she's a tree.

 I dunno, is shoddy possibly canon merch a spoiler?

It's like a five-year old girl's OC.

Also, this story here.

Quite Interesting News To Report today instead of drawings done by me and my crappy camera. All in the spoilers below because I care about the thread not being filled up with words.

 News!

And That's today's first news. My camera, a faithful servant of my family for 9 years, is officially dead. Don't fret. I have a laptop camera. But the quality is gonna look extremely butchered.

Second off, apparently Dish is now carrying Hub...so...welcome Dish users. LF>Cheaper Direct TV rates so my mom won't be a stinge about it and get a better friggen package. (Because this is just a preview package for Dish.)

Third, the TF2 night was extremely fun. The stream was caught under fire and they closed it early. The servers are no longer up as of this post. But I could be wrong.

Fourth, if you didn't see my panic attack, Hot Topic is now selling the Pony Cards, and a Dr. [W]hooves belt. There's also rumors of another Pony Lanyard w/ just the Mane Six's Cuite Marks. However, this is unconfirmed.

Fifth, Apparently they're in talks about Winter Bronycon 2013's Location already...HAWAII PLOX. COME TO US. (Haha, funny stuff.)

Sixth, Just a reminder, Everfree 2012 IS SOLD OUT, and is next week! They have a very awesome lineup, and however, I'm sorry to say I won't be providing on the minute coverage. If anyone wants to take my spot, BE MY GUEST. I myself was heading up to Wash. State originally, but once again, family is coming over in about a week, so I can't go off-island.
Also more ironic, I wouldn't have had enough fees to travel BACK. (And roundtrip would be a nightmare.)

Seventh, Day VIII of ATG has me using Air's Commission's Draft. Your fighting someone with a special weapon. I'll have it up early tomorrow, but Air already has seen a copy! HAHA.

Eighth, Canterlot Gardens is also around the Corner, with a very awesome lineup as well. I'm not doing coverage, nor is EFR doing coverage. EFR, I still hate you with a burning passion. Your a Rarity to me. If anyone is heading out to any conventions, I envy you so badly.

Ninth, So I finally was gotten back to from Kawaii-Con people, and yes, there's actually more than 1 pony vendor....
...
...
Live coverage of me there w/cosplayers? Challenge Accepted! (TBA 2013! Likely during the Season 4 Wait.)

Tenth, In response to I think Sane said, apparently the west and central coast wallmarts DO have the blindbags, but it's in select stores...they plan to expand to all by Winter...I just found out my Super Walmart has blind bags, but my minor-branch walmart is not shelving...or something to that matter...I don't know. Stupid marketing be jacking up my brain.
...Trying to find the source of that article...be right back.

Page 107/Thread Recap Yes, I'm gonna rip off EQD just because I want to, haha.

-We talked about our experiences with meeting other bronies. Apparently the herd can be found in strange places.

-I posted "Leisure Time", which was my Day VI submission.

-A new "newborn" Princess Doll is apparently out soon...and you'd be surprised on what she looks like.

-Since I can't post Air's image unless I dare myself to with TERRIBLE lighting, then I pretty much granted about how my camera died. (Edited my post afterwards.)

-In response to the last line, I decided to do this because...I'm bored beyond heck.

Also, this story here

lol Spend like half an hour after I finished reading it laughing.

Hoo boy, it may sound obnoxious at first, but she does an impressive number of voices in this.

[spoiler=Just found out her doing voices is "her thing" she did all original 151 pokemon and it's priceless, if off-topic][video=youtube;OENj7Z-afhY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OENj7Z-afhY[/video][/spoiler]

That is really pretty impressive. It's hard to do all the voices that well.

Let's see... other news... Bree Faith, who you may know as Pinkie Pie from the "Epic Cupcake/Pie Time" Videos, will not be doing many new Pony related projects in the future, but will still be working with the projects she was on previously. She's just not accepting new roles.

Hoity Toity, and Semi-Transparent Wonderbolt Blind Bags have been popping up according to Equestria Daily...

The Card Binder I mentioned a few posts back will be on sale at the end of the month. Here's a link to it with pricing and shipping info.

Finally, Blind Bags should be rolled out to most, if not all US Walmart mega stores by October, December at the latest. Small branches are up in the air.

As for the posters, from what I understand, checking Walmart's online store for special details is the best bet, and I'd advise calling them first. HQ poster scans can also be found here.

Um, I think that's about it for now.

I don't even care that this is a triple post. LOOKATIT

Well, my ATG sketches are gonna be really late as of now, and I personally hate it.
Day VII I'm still trying to recapture on my new camera, and I have to configure it to my laptop, color correct it because the lighting SUCKS, and etc.
Day VIII I already finished (Named: "Dinner")
Day IX...Well, better not be anything screwy.
And as of this week, I'm now running with some mates for National Pony Writing Month on top of all that..
God. Damn. You. Ponies.
It's pretty much my life now!

It's pretty much my life now!

A huh. Yep.

So in supah cool news, someone got some super cool secrets from Lauren Faust at Horsecon, through... semi-acceptable means.

[spoiler=Note: These don't have anything to do with Season 3, but they do contain spoilers as to "what could have been". Watch/Read at your own peril!][video=youtube;UztWnWOdAyc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UztWnWOdAyc&feature=player_embedded[/video]

Here's the written version if the audio is too quiet.

Canterlot was intended to be a Gondor for little girls.
Celestia and Luna’s parents were going to exist, but just wasn’t included.
Twilight Sparkle was inspired by Lauren’s mother.
Fluttershy was inspired by Lauren’s childhood.
Pinkie Pie is NOT intended to be the ‘Random Character’, but a free spirit.
Rarity was originally supposed to have a more British-sounding voice, but it evolved into what it is now.
There were supposed to be 3 Scootaloo episodes spread across the 2 seasons.
Scootaloo’s episodes revolved around the idea that she was technically a handicap; she would never be able to fly. They would be about the conflict between her wanting to be like Rainbow Dash and not being able to ever achieve that dream. In the end, she would discover herself and that there is a difference between what you want and what you’re actually good at; your destiny (her cutie mark would have been scooter-related).
Before Derpy was acknowledged, Faust already had an idea for a background character who would be a clumsy troublemaker. She would have been named ‘Ditzy Doo’. However, they are NOT one and the same. If Derpy had not come into being, Ditzy would have been made anyways. However, when Derpy happened, she took Ditzy’s place in Equestria. Both characters were simply supposed to be gag characters without a voice.
Lauren came up with the concept of the Changelings, borrowing from mythology, but she did not draw or design them.
A cut episode involved Rainbow Dash and Applejack encountering a deer family in Whitetail Wood, and a pony living among them. This pony would have had branches tied to his head because he was abandoned as a filly and raised by a deer. It is unknown whether the deer would have been sentient or not. The conflict would have been between Dash (who would have wanted to reveal the truth) and Applejack (who would have wanted to leave well enough alone).
Lauren Faust (MLP:FiM, Foster), Gennedy Tartakovsky (Dexter’s Lab, Samurai Jack), Craig McCracken (Powerpuff Girls, Foster), and Rob Renzetti (My Life as a Teenage Robot, MLP:FiM, Gravity Falls) were all roommates in college.
Lauren and Craig are working on a new animated show titled “Wander over Yonder” which will be on Disney.
Lauren was surprised that MLP:FiM has ended up where it has compared to Powerpuff Girls. The difference in popularity is likely because of the Internet (it wasn’t nearly as big or accessible back in the time of PPG).[/spoiler]

Interesting...

This was quite interesting, I had been hungering for new pony info for a while now and at the same time avoiding S3 spoilers, if that makes sense.

>Torrential storm caused internet to go derp until now
>50 new posts

I love you guys.

>Torrential storm caused internet to go derp until now

I love you guys.

And we love you too...ya, know, just not in that kind of way.
So today I finally got my head back into it, and then...I started to doodle in my planner...for once, and this was the result, which became day VIII!
[Spoiler=Day VIII, Draw A Pony Doing Something New. I present you, Cloud's Break 2-Electric Scootaloo. (Aka: Never Again)]

So anyways. Went to 2 Wal-Marts. Both took forever to get there, and both had no Pony swag, not even the posters. Blarg. Going to just call the other Wal-Marts from here on instead of driving there, and hope they have the goods.

And we love you too...ya, know, just not in that kind of way.

Speak for yourself. -eyebrow waggle-

Just kidding. Glad to have you back Sane!

AAAAAAA

Okay. I love it. Your drawing is actually getting better! Like, seriously. It is.

Like seriously.

Also, I just died in Mario 3D Land a bunch of times trying to beat my times. I needed a break from a certain... "Critical" thing. This is funny to me.

Also, I'm going camping tomorrow morning, I'll be back Saturday afternoon/evening. Don't eat all the cupcakes this time.

Aaaah. Good day.

Never mentioned this but, you and Cloud were playing Mario Kart 7. Originally I had him play Dream Drop Distance while you played 3D Land (Which was the original concept pitched by someone...I forgot who, but I mentioned your special talent anyways...can't keep my mouth shut at all.)
Just a FYI, Cloud hates loosing as much as RD does.
As for your commission, I restarted it with some nicer tweaks, I'll have it up tomorrow afternoon. I took into account that "head-body ratio" thing, and well, I guess it SORTA looks better, but I kinda don't like the head overall to be so-so big...eh, just this weird peeve of mine.
And as for me, I'm gonna be running through an entire game series over the weekend, so I doubt I'd be hardly posting anything here either but my ATG submissions...speaking of which, is this for the WHOLE month?

...speaking of which, is this for the WHOLE month?[/COLOR]

I'm still surprised I didn't commit suicide after last year's... even though I only entered, like two days.

I'll try posting some unoriginal sketches after I get back.

yas

Well Cloud...back to Walmart?
"Back to Walmart, Classic."
I think I can handle that...but don't they think that's a little crazy?
I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't have some type of honorable mention bs in the end...
Ugh. I need to buy a new and bigger sketch-book then.

Day IX: Draw a pony that relates to something in the media...
Haha, I got an idea for Air. I suppose you can say I'm gonna turn Air into Link.
Also, Page 17 Beeyatches.
The Link Is This Text Right Here. <~
(Aircalibur421: Apparently now I notice how I draw his pony form, he resembles a ponfied Link.)
Now excuse me while I cry because me and my cousins are watching the Royal Wedding DVD and Love Is In Bloom is playing.
*Goes back to sobbing with cousins*
Edit 12Am:Funny to be still up at midnight and not working on ATG for once! Anyways, after me and my cousins finished the DVD, we were still crying our eyes out for no reason. They were crying because it's the season finale. I was crying because...BECAUSE CAN. Manly tears. But it was around 9, and anyone who walked into my room gave us a weird stare and walked out 10 seconds later. I need a plushie to hold right now...*Fluttershy Wimper*
...
So time for some midnight crack-rumors...and I only got one.
-Apparently, to what Sane AGAIN, mentioned a few days ago, Walmart might be selling the Posters STANDALONE for whatever a poster typically is (Which if I remember is 7 dollars USD.)

So after looking up Everfree NW...holy crap. That place is packed to the brim with FiM celebs. You pracally got the whole VA cast, the two great minds behind the music, Celestia, the higher ups at DHX, Celestia, the writers, Celestia, and more. (Did I mention Celestia?)
To be honest, I'm still not hyped. Just because they got the entire shabang, unless they can pull something out of their ass that would make me watch them, be my guest.

...Also, have I mentioned my one-sided hate for EFR? Well, that kinda contributes to why I'm not interested in Everfree.
Someone wake me up then Canterlot Gardens arrives. Once again, if anyone wants to take my place in staying up all day sitting your flank down on a chair watching a stream with a billion other bronies, to barely get any dirt on season 3? Unless...THAT'S THE POINT OF EVERFREE NW.
I don't know. Either way, I can watch Day 1~2~and 3, since I have a day off that Friday, but I rather gauge my eyes.

Time to go through the posts I missed.

And now, a gift from me.

You're welcome. What is your opinion on this video? Let's spice up the thread a bit.

If there was sound...

 -Break-MOAR ROYALTY, WDP?!

Augh these QUALITY toys. Kill it with fire!



As for reading the Walmart comments, why is it some stores released them blind bags and posters so early? I was paranoid that all the Bronies in my area bought out everything, when it turns out they're not supposed to be selling until at least October. Could have saved myself the hassle if I just checked this Pony thread before I went on a Pony search. And your Steam is ClassicAce? I'll add you now.

...Also, have I mentioned my one-sided hate for EFR? Well, that kinda contributes to why I'm not interested in Everfree.

Why do you hate Everfree Radio?

Why do you hate Everfree Radio?

They're just becoming in my opinion the brony media tyrants. I don't like it. But enough about what I hate.

 Artist Training Grounds Journal-Day IX:Casual Fridays

[Spoiler=Cloud's Log, August 8th]
So today was another casual friday. Again, I don't do this sorta stuff, however...everyone else apparently does...Even Shining...ugh. Thank god tomorrow's the weekend. I finally get my day off. However, I don't understand how dressing up like Link IS casual.
-Cloud
[Spoiler=Classic's Log, August 8th]
GOD. I cut this SO DAMN CLOSE. It was a good 20mins before they closed submissions! ARRGH. Never agian will I watch a movie and disregard this!
