"Refuge" Community Artpack Anonymous 04/17/2025 (Thu) 02:48:58 No. 22012
Announcing "Refuge": a pony artpack celebrating our home - past, present, and future. If you're seeing this post, you've probably been impacted by /mlp/'s downtime, for better or for worse. This artpack is an opportunity to reflect, as a community, on what it means for your home to disappear, and what it means to come together in a new home, with hope or with fear. I'll put a thread up on both primary altchans, because this is for all of us. >Theme The theme is "Refuge" and "Home - past, present, and future", but you're welcome to take that inspiration however you wish - somber and reflective, lighthearted and joyful, anything between a painting of an idyllic Equestrian hearth to a meme about your favorite pony altchan. SFW is encouraged but not strictly required. >How to contribute Any kind of art is welcome and you're encouraged to think outside of the box - digital/physical art, greentext, essays/eulogies, speeches, music, sculpture, memes, and so on are fair game. Any skill level is okay; go ahead and try your hardest though. If you're shit at drawing, try something you're good at! Embroidery maybe? When you have something ready, feel free to post it and the project files in the thread if you like, and post the finished export here (keep the filesize in check, mega has a 20gb max): https://mega.nz/filerequest/IBpdzNnuIlY Tentative deadline is Friday the 2nd of May, about two weeks from now.
>>28467 I did this as soon as I saw the suggestion, so basically the day of, but the thread wasn't kept alive. Think I should bother with another?
>>28832 Yeah, go ahead and make a new thread and I'll try to bump it up before it dies next time
Motion passes, the release date is pushed out to Friday, May 16, 2 weeks from now. There won't be any more extensions.
>>28893 new thread is up, thanks for your help

>>27167 >BEDROCK ∞ BEYOND: WHERE LAYERS GO DEEP >The reception counter stood hewn from polished serpentine, its edges wrapped in crimson velvet. >A brass bell shaped like an infinity loop waited atop the stone. >Limestone tapped it once. >Ding∞ >"Comin' right up, sweetheart~" >The velvet-draped archway parted. >An earth-stallion glided through, burgundy smoking jacket catching the low light; his mane a sheet of obsidian. >"Welcome to the Loop." His voice poured through the room. "Fresh talent, I hope?" >Limestone blinked twice, standing awkward and solid as her namesake. "Looking for steady shifts. Word is you pay well for strong backs and good technique." >"The steadiest." His gaze crawled over her frame, measuring, appraising. "Sturdy barrel. Prime stance. And your flanks! Perfectly toned for… vigorous shifts." >Professional pride puffed up Limestone's chest. "Years hauling feldspar will do that. Core strength matters in proper extraction." >"Oh, you'll certainly extract plenty of bits." The stallion's lips curled upward at one corner. "We pay top rates for workers with flanks that know just how hard to… grind." >Finally! A farm that understood proper millstone technique. "Ponies always underestimate how critical accurate grinding angles are." >The stallion traced lazy circles on the velvet countertop, weight shifted to one hip. "You're comfortable working long… shafts, I trust?" >She snorted, stone-faced. "I'm a Pie. Been handling shafts since fillyhood. Maud always praised my thoroughness." >"Family business. How charmingly traditional." "Four generations." Solemn nod. "Rock-solid service. Hooves-on approach from dawn to midnight." >"Midnight shifts come with nice bonuses." "Makes sense." She ran mental calculations. "Cooler bedrock, tighter grain." >"Tighter is everypony's favorite." "Damn right. Nothing ruins productivity like sloppy aggregates." >A clipboard slid across the counter toward her. >"Standard intake. Stage name, measurements, preferred positions—" >Positions? >Her eyes scanned the options: Standing, Side-saddle, Reverse Cow—per… Pegging??? >…Odd names for quarry stances, but whatever. >She checked ALL OF THE ABOVE. >Flexibility's an asset on a job site. >"Oh, enthusiastic. They'll love you," he murmured approvingly, flipping to the next set of silhouettes, none wearing hardhats. >"Pick a costume that speaks to you. We've got Sultry Sandstone, Gneiss & Naughty, Purebred Pegmatite—" >These costumes had far more fishnet than safety net, and certainly more lace than harness straps. "What in Tartarus would I need lace for on a dig site?" >"Sweetheart, you are the dig site." >Beat. >Realization stratified in layers across their faces. >"You thought this was a—" he began. "You thought I was a—" Limestone countered. >In unison: "Oh. SCHIST." "I came here to pound actual rocks, not that!" >"Rock's just the house theme, darling, clients dig consistency." He explained. "Shame, you'd have really rocked their world." >She hoof-bumped the infinity bell on her way out. >Ding∞
>>29153 lol, pretty good, anon!
Wew, what a month! In retrospect I'm glad we pushed the date back a little, because it's honestly fun to think about this little blip in our history. Thank you so much to everybody who contributed to the artpack, I'm very impressed at the passion put into some of these and I couldn't help but smile. See you around, anons. https://mega.nz/folder/rWJSxBSI#0PP4qoz0mWuKtELKQytw_g
