    Derpy: WindWaker is also my favorite. And I love both Majora's Mask and Ocarina of Time, probably because I played them back when I was younger - one of the first games I played by myself, I usually play with my sister.
    The very title I don't like is, sorry me, but it's Twilight Princess. It'd be awesome if it wasn't a longing memory for nostalgic Ocarina of Time lovers.

    I just guess that Final Fantasy tries too hard to be epic and stuff. I enjoy playing Zelda because it's funnier and not (so) stern...

    Srsly, Y??


    Man, even the biggest fans of Final Fantasy said this! Not to mention they tried Zelda and liked them tons.

    They told me this, too. One guy told me to play IX before others because it was awesome. Zidane's a great character according to many c: That guy hated Squall, though.

    ALRIGHT, gentlecolts, I've got something for you once more.

    This is Candle Holder, my OC based off in my friend Rina. She wanted to be a grey witch unicorn, so here we are.

    One thing...
    Stop being so good at drawing! Your making me want to draw but I don't have time to draw and even if I did I'm not all that. Well not as good as you or Jaret and others and some but I have other talents, so yeah! Think about it,°.°

    EDIT: And that's why you don't post at 4AM in the morning kids. -.-'

    Put together a rough draft of his story, I'd love some help ironing it out if you're(or anybody else) is willing.

    Azure Crash was once a member of the Wonderbolts, but injured his right wing during a rehearsal and was forced to retire from the group. Rumors also suggest that there was some sort of conflict between Azul and the other two members, but nothing has been confirmed.

    Azul now lives out his days down in Equestria, in a small barn on the outskirts of town.

    Grey: Oh, sorry, I was just trying to stay on topic... o___o'
    And now that you mentions that, I'm actually surprised to see so many pages in my topic. I was expecting it to be dead at page 4.

    Blu-Cup: That's awesome. And I'd like to help you with his story. Had something in mind like: he was losing his grip in flying, but once he was starting to recover from his down-and-out moment his left wing breaks, finally putting his carrier as a flyer to and end. It made him depressed (you know, the athlete who gets injured and loses their way in life) and this brought an end to the friendship he once had with the other two Wonderbolts. Spitfire still thinks of him as a friend, and is the one who understand him the most.

    It'd make an awesome episode or saga starring Rainbow Dash to help them make up. C:

    Derpy: I believe it is. It brings me memories from back when I played Gold&Silver in Japanese - barely understanding, but that is.

    @Blu-Cup - Write a script and send it into Hasbro :D

    @Bamboo - Uh, just completely ignore that post - Done at 4am my time I was barely concious x)
    This thread was pretty genius, believe it or not. It's encouraging people to be not only creative but give feedback on other people's creations, much better than one persons art thread - Here everyone can just post their own work and feedback as they please, seeing as there is usually at least one person drawing, the rest can comment until they draw etc etc

    Self sustaining cycle :)

    Indeed, it's just one of the many that I have made for myself and friends.

    I like that, a lot. Credit will of course be given for helping flesh out his background story once I compile everything together. :)

    Behind the Goggles: The Azure Crash story. :p

    Blu-Cup: Something like

    Episode XX - Behind the Azure goggles

    Rainbow Dash discovers something very uneasy about her idols' past.


    Given that the description of the episodes usually give the episode right away and it's rather succint, I guess this could leave an aura of mystery.

    Grey: Thank you! I wasn't expecting this thread to be so useful C:
    And yes, I hate the "Person art thread" thing, too...

    Well, fast doodle, about 10 minutes or so. I used shapes, yes, I got that "Texturing" blood, bla bla.

    The cutie mark is just C'n'P, I'll work on it tomorrow a lil' more. I am not satisfied with this. I was satisfied while I worked though - When i finished the outline.

    EDIT: Next time I'll try to imitate the style you use, Bamboo - I quite love the shading you do, both nicely looking and cartoony.

    Haha, nice.

    I was thinking of him living under some sort of guise, like something painfully obvious to the viewer but the characters themselves are oblivious to. He'd be known simply as Azul to the ponies of Equestria, never letting any of them know that he was once a Wonderbolt. That is until one day Rainbow Dash witnessed Spitfire flying away from his barn/house/whatever in which case his secret finally comes out and it leads into Dash helping him/them out.

    Oh wow, and only ten minutes? o O

    Blu-Cup: I guess it'd be better if the viewer discovers his identity with Dash. If the whole thing is shown to the public, the story would get boring until the end. Like in A bird in the hoof, I was actually expecting Philomena to be a rare species of bird who is goofy by nature. But those who saw Harry Potter and other fantasy movies already knew she was a phoenix and thus the episode ended up being lame, almost a waste of time. You can never give the story from the start, you have to make the viewer curious if you want your plot to be interesting ;)

    Jary: Nice drawing. I like the first artwork more, though.
    As for coloring, I try to imitate the show's style, but I feel empty without shading a little. Gave up doing those nasty and artificial-looking 3D effects and went in a more anime-like shading - like this. It worked a lot well. FiM would look great in a child anime style.
    And I'm expecting an update of Jaret ;)

    Ok, new version (Much more liek the ponies from the show)

    [​IMG]

    I added Fluttershy for Comparison's sake. I think he could fit in the show easily. The eyes are inspired by Celestia's eyes, just made a lil' smaller and changed the shape. I quite love how it turned out. I think he could fit in the show somehow. The cutie mark is custom made, just the colors are "copied" by another palette i found on the internet. :3

    EDIT: Comparison of old and new:

    The horn looks really weird

    [​IMG]

    This is about the best pic of a male one I have, if you notice it's pretty much the same as the female ones just longer and pointier

    Guess what? I did it intentionally. After all, he's a Pegacorn. He should have an unique horn anyway. The wings are "wrong" if you look at them as well :3

    Jary: I like how you made a size comparison. He could be a little shorter, though, he looks bigger than Big McIntosh (LOL, bigger than big!).
    I saw your new sig, and for a moment I thought you changed his color to grey. And I like Jaret better with white hair. He looks less Sephirothish.

    And I find funny that you put Fluttershy there xD

    Derp: I guess the horn is supposed to be weird.

    AND CUTIEMARK BSNS IS SRS BSNS!!

    He ain't that big, there are bigger ponies. Like Celestia, for example - why not make someone as high as her? (Even though he still isn't as high as she is :3)
