Inspired by my late grandmother’s horse statue, but the end result is more of a spindly hybrid of that and her Maltese, Poppy. Odd asymmetrical front leg design was an attempt at pose-ability, but I’ll maybe pretend it’s a representation of Pops’ uniquely-healed leg injury. Video is an attempt to refrain from an over-spill of photos because I have a problem with that! (Translation: Bumbling artist crams stuff together, knows it looks off, hides it all under flowers.)

Like a genie freed from his lamp, the premier perks activation for the week of BZP's anniversary have allowed me to come forth and blog once again! Perhaps this shall be a more fruitful week than last year's, but you never know! What if I have nothing useful to write about? What if I suddenly fall off the face of the Internet this week? Such are the worries that keep strong, basement-dwelling men and women awake at night. This first entry is just a re-introduction, I suppose. Tonight, I plan to dine on some fine Popeye's chicken whilst assembling my recently-acquired Load N' Haul Railroad (MISB from 1992!). I'll finish redecorating my parents' basement tomorrow. Have to wait for that big-boy paycheck to come through, anyway, before I make the big renovations! Stay tuned!

Looking to make a change back to pony themes on BZP. Which pony? ;_;

I had my Pony OC dressed as Tahu, and angry with the evil Hakkan, what do you think?

Hey, BZPower. Sorry for not being too active this past month. Life's been kind of crazy for me. I suppose before I jump into talking about fun things like MOCs, I should get the important stuff out of the way. School has not been going well for me. I'm in my second semester studying Industrial Design, but my classes have really been a huge source of anxiety, which has at times been crippling for me. I have a couple weeks left here in Boston, but after that I'm going to take a semester off to get some counseling and therapy, perhaps try and get a job, and take time to re-evaluate my life goals, which may not be attainable through the path I'm currently on even if I can get my emotions in check. Now, I've gotten slight relief from various opportunities to visit with family and friends. As I announced in my last entry, I went to Cloudsdale Congress over Spring Break, and it was a phenomenal experience. I definitely plan to attend other My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic fan conventions in the future, because it was really fun and eye-opening (giving me the chance to interact with dozens of other bronies as well as to explore areas of the fandom I hadn't yet indulged in, like the fan music). I roomed with some bronies from my hometown, and I look forward to attending some meetups with them over the summer -- they're very fun people! After the convention I had some time to burn before my mom could pick me up and take me home, so I visited the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. On the way there, I happened to be on the subway with some of the folks from the fan project Double Rainboom, including PKEmi, who voiced Rainbow Dash (A bit of warning, I still haven't seen Double Rainboom, since I'm going to a meetup in Boston to see it tomorrow, so don't spoil it in the comments). We all had a great conversation, and Emi and I have managed to connect via social networks since then, which is great. Always nice to make a lasting connection at an event like this. I spent just a couple days at home before I had to go down to North Carolina to visit my Nana, who has been in the hospital for a few weeks after having a fall. It was good to visit her, even though I'm worried about her. Then I took a plane from New Bern to Hartford, where my uncle from Connecticut picked me up to stay with him for a few days. My aunt and uncle have a fifteen-month-old baby who's a joy to spend time with, and it was great to spend the next couple days there before getting on the bus to get back to school. Since then I spent last weekend with my aunt and uncle again to celebrate my birthday (March 29) and Easter, and I got to see them and my baby cousin once more just last night when my aunt came up to Boston for a conference. It's so wonderful watching my baby cousin grow up and learn to explore the world, and I hope even over the summer when I'm not as close by I can still find time to visit them. Now, as far as LEGO is concerned, I've mostly been working with LEGO Digital Designer lately, since that had a considerable update recently. Most notably, it includes over 600 new decorations, including almost every decoration from Collectible Minifigures series 1-8! However, as is often the case, these were not mapped to the parts that use them in the software's code, meaning that I had to edit them into LXFML files myself. You can download my LXF of Minifigures Series 1-9 here. Note that parts from Series 1-8 which could not be decorated correctly are colored 294 Phosphorescent Green to differentiate them, and that some decoration surfaces like the Small Clown's hat and all decorated minifigure arms distort the decorations placed on them. Additionally, I recently got some major progress reverse-engineering the stunning Hero Factory MOC by Christoffer Raundahl which I mentioned in this entry. You can see my results here: LXF Download Errors include six parts left off of the arms (two shells due to an illegal connection and four hoses due to being too fiddly and frustrating to connect correctly), four substitutions (the custom head, the square shell detail elements on the heels, and the speaker shell detail element on the chest), four parts within the torso build not connected correctly (the shoulder suspension beams, which were giving me a lot of grief, and the hoses that connect the legs to the torso), and finally some parts potentially missing from the back, including whatever parts are meant to connect the wings to the back -- sadly, I do not have any pics of the back of this MOC. The final model would probably contain around 225 pieces and cost $50-60 as a retail model. I have managed to build a considerable portion of this model (the torso, one leg, and one upper arm) in real life to ensure that fiddly parts like the arm and leg suspension work correctly, and it's just as brilliant in its design as I imagined. It has, among other things, revealed to me just how narrow-minded I have been in envisioning uses for the 3M double ball cup (98565) introduced in Stormer XL, since despite its few connection points this piece is an invaluable structural element. Truly I would love to see this model, or a similar model derived from its design, as an official set. Anyway, that's enough rambling for today. Overall, I'm doing my best to maintain a positive outlook and take each week one day at a time. It's been a bit rough but I'm confident that once I'm back home I will have plenty of time to work on putting myself back together and finding a path I'm willing to pursue.

I don't really ship it, to be perfectly honest. The only Mane Six ships I really have much support for are Flutterdash and Twidash, and both because I think they're cute rather than because I have any interest in seeing those relationships develop into romantic ones. Rarijack is cute but at the same time I'm really enjoying seeing how Spike's relationship with Rarity is developing. With that in mind, I'm not a Sparity shipper in that I would be severely peeved if it turns out that he and Rarity don't really work out as a couple, since relationships are dynamic and it can be just as interesting to see how certain relationships fail to work out as to see how others succeed. But back to Twinkie. I don't really see how Twilight and Pinkie Pie have very good chemistry. But feel free to list examples. I'm sure after this weekend Twinkie shippers might have a lot more fuel for speculation, since Twilight and Pinkie are supposed to be key characters in the upcoming episode.

Back from a brief hiatus as I transitioned to life at my new college! I am currently at Wentworth Institute of Technology studying Industrial Design. The first part of my life and art updates is best summed up with this post from the Official My Little Pony topic: Now, my next challenge on Illustrator was to see if I could vectorize and color some existing lineart of mine. The only piece I was able to successfully color with the tools I have now was my picture of Kai and his family from LEGO Ninjago which I posted in a previous entry. The result, in flat colors for now because I don't know the tools necessary to shade it to my satisfaction, can be seen here: Over time, whether inside or outside of class, I anticipate learning more tools with Adobe Illustrator so I can do more of the things I've been looking forward to doing, such as designing custom minifigure decorations. My classes so far are going smoothly, and I look forward to all the things I will learn in them. Each day brings me closer to my goal of becoming a product designer for The LEGO Group!

Bluh, Bluh bad art. For that one thing on that one pony website. Give me some tips on improving k guys?
-
This is about all I can accomplish now. I'm left with a surplus of useless colored pipecleaners that don't correspond to anypony in particular. Lonely Applejack is lonely. -Longcat is Long!
-
Just finished micro-sized CMC, Spike, and Rarity. It gets harder the smaller you make em, because they still have to be recognizable. My poor fingers have been poked to oblivion. -Longcat is Long!
-
Yeah, this probably won't be finished before my blog is, so I'm just putting it up now. A tribute to my second favorite Pony: I can only buy more pipecleaners on the weekends, and I just used up all the ones I bought. -Longcat is Long!
-
Da Magicks. One of the problems with these is size. See the small ones are great because I can make them fast with little effort and cost, but I have to skimp on the details. The larger ones are great for detailing, but cost more to buy the materials. -Longcat is Long!
-
Bad 3DS quality, yadda yadda yadda... well, take a look. I'm currently working on a Fluttershy to this scale also. She's my favorite <3. -Longcat is Long!

Okay, guys, I'm here finishing your ponies again! Sorry that it's been awhile. This is a continuation of my previous topic, here, which died during college. Festus is now helping me with vectors, too. However, I'm not taking anymore requests due to college (I'm starting a summer class on June 4th). The remaining requests are not invalid. I will finish them in my spare time, and I will continue to notify users to new updates. Thanks a ton for your previous requests, patience, and, most of all, your support. I will see if I'll have enough time on my hands to reopen it in late summer. Here we go! Now you can become ponified! Not only the bronies and pegasisters, but the haters can too!Leave a request by filling out this form below, and I will draw you your pony. Remember, I'm ponifying you, your character (OC or such), your MOC, or your sprite, so please don't ask me to ponify a canon Bionicle character, unless your character is one (like me being a female Toa Mata Nui).Here is a link to my majhost gallery for my ponies I draw, where you will see your pony among other ponies! http://www.majhost.c...ry.cgi?f=255019I would prefer the request to be sent via PM, since it would make it easier to catch the request right away. Don't worry if you think your form is "too detailed." For me, the more detail the better.Request Form: Male or Female:Earth Pony, Unicorn, or Pegasus:Body Color:Eye Color:Mane and Tail Color (if different colors, state):Mane and Tail Style (swept back, spiked, long, etc. State a style if you can think of one you want):Cutie Mark:Clothing, Armor or Apparel (cape, spartan armor, etc. State a style):A unique spot or mark somewhere (i. e., my pony's bands over her hooves*):Pony's Pose, if you can think of one:Anything else you can think of: *Those are spots, not bracelets, contrary to popular belief. Although I can only take a certain amount of requests at a time, don't fret, it's fast and easy for me to draw ponies! When you see a spot open, feel free to send in a request. Ponies will be drawn in the order the requests were received. If I haven't gotten to your pony, then feel free to make changes to your request sheet, but please remember to use the same message. I don't care if you edit the existing sheet or add a reply with the new sheet. If you edit it, then add a reply telling me you did so I will notice it. When finished, I will PM you with your pony!Request List:1: Legolover-3612: Katarno Kuuls3: Master Inika4: Driken Toa of Shadows5: The King of No Isles6: My Little Xinlo7: Avohkah Tamer8: Keizah the Kaleidoscope9: Bundalings10: The Great Grant in the SkyIf you couldn't get on the request list, here is a waiting list where I will put your name until I have an open spot. But please don't send me a filled-out form yet. I will tell you when you get on the request list, and then you can send me the filled-out form. Basically, my waiting list is just an extented request list. But I do appreciate if you can wait until you're on the request list to send me your form for your pony. It just helps me keep my requests and PM's organized. There are infinite places in the waiting list. Yay! Waiting List:1: Roablin2: SumikiYou do not need my permission to edit the pictures I give you (a big picture and a small one), nor do you need my permission to use them as avatars or signatures. They're yours, do what you want! -------------------------------------------------Credit to LNU for the banner.Enjoy! :biggrin:EDIT: Whoops, couldn't fit the title ...EDIT: Got it. ~MakEDIT: Thanks, Mak. =)

Eeyup. Sorry for the horrid quality, I only have my 3DS on hand.

My entry, Swarm of the Century, narrowly made it through Preliminary Poll A, and as such it's now a contender in the final poll! Click here to go to the poll! I think it goes without saying that Crunchy's two entries, which dominated the preliminary polls, will also sweep the voting in this poll. It's kind of a shame, because the rules state that each member can only have one winning entry, and I'm worried that with Crunchy's entries so likely to get most of the votes, the margin between the remaining entries will be very small indeed. I won't mind losing this contest (it's not like I have any kind of reputation to uphold), but with such a slim margin I don't want to feel like my entry won or lost by random chance. One way this could be avoided in future contests would be to do it like how another LEGO forum I use often does MOC contest voting. On that site, voting is done through posts rather than polls, which makes it more difficult to track, but you get more than one vote (still a finite number), and can distribute those votes how you prefer (either award all of your votes to one entry, or divide the votes evenly or unevenly across multiple entries). This way, even if you have one overall favorite, you can also show support for other entries you consider deserving. And as such the runners-up will be decided by more members than just those few who didn't like the winning entry. But I'm not going to pressure anybody to vote for my entry. Vote for the entry you think is best! All the entries in this poll got through the preliminary polls by their own merits, and the same ought to be true this time around!

Just about one week to go in the General Art Contest #18 preliminary polls! I encourage voters to show their support for my entry, Swarm of the Century, in Preliminary Poll A! It's Entry 6 in the poll. In other art-related news, recently a friend of mine who is also an artist had a birthday, and I gave her a portrait of her I had drawn. To my delight, she really liked the drawing! Since she's also an artist (and a much better one than me, all things considered), I was thrilled to have her approval, and I hope it will motivate me to keep drawing over the course of the summer. Even though I'm often lacking in inspiration, I have tried to keep drawing so I remain in practice. Most of my recent drawings are merely sketches, like this one which shows some human figures of varying ages to approximate scale with one another. But hopefully inspiration will strike again soon and I'll have something more meaningful and finished to show you all.

You can find my entry, Swarm of the Century, in Preliminary Poll A! Go vote for the entries you think are best!

Click for full This is still just a WIP; I'm not sure how much I like the neck, and he could really use ears and/or a mane. Inspired by my art contest entry. Speaking of which, check it out if you haven't already! Topic

First off, I apologize heartily up front for the poor image quality. Camera died, not getting a new one any time soon, so had to use crummy webcam. Hopefully this will be remedied by being sent to Cascade and being photographed by super-picture-takerer DeeVee. Fingers crossed.now thenponies180°head-onabout to chargeneighMEGA AWESOME CLOSE-UPAnd here's a pony generator version.The weakest part is easily the mane and neck area, as I was running out of useful purple pieces and stuff in general.The head was really frustrating to make and I am glad it turned out as well as it did.(eugh these pictures are horrible, it looks a lot better in real life I promise)

I have a new favorite princess, and her name is Cadance!! Don't worry Celestia, you'll always have a place in my favorites and you Luna. Should I change my name to Princess Cadance after Eye Beam Lasers?
