Ideas: -Helping animals find food to hybernate -Weatherproofing damaged buildings -Pegasai bring the snow -First snowfall of the year -Patching winter clothes -Preserving the last crops

>>15646 Earth ponies distribute the snow pegasi brought over the fields. I think we could just use the old thread, but it's nice to have a dedicated thread. Also, should we try to make more anons aware? Like in /bale/ on mlp? Or tempo, although tempo gives away a bit too snobby feel.

>>15645 >New thread Nice. >>15650 New thread does bring more attention to the pack. I don't think mentioning it in other places would be too bad as long as it's actually relevant and you aren't like aggressively pushing it.

>>15646 >>15650 Great ideas! How about also: -Weather factory engineers overcoming machinery malfunctions to deliver snow on time. Or, weather pony artisans crafting snow flakes -Earth ponies baking for the festivals. -Earth ponies preparing apple cider, to be sold heated (at the festival) out of little festive huts after first snowfall. Are these ideas basically meant to stimulate art and writing ideas?

>>15656 >Are these ideas basically meant to stimulate art and writing ideas? Yes.

-Pegasi freeze the lake back and ponies go ice skating for fun/organize an ice skating performance

OK, I'll begin to work on a concept for a story or two. Cannot wait for the drawanons' pics, to reference them in the text.

>>15678 Blazin' the way, great! I'll start thinking about what I want to draw.

>>15645 With October, I’m always focussed on my Nightmare Night contributions.

>>15678 I'll try writing a story or two as well. I'll shoot for being done by mid-September.

As promised I practiced drawing. They look goofy because it's my first time trying to draw ponies with geometry as a base.

>>15846 sovl

>>15846 Looks like a lot of fun Anon.

>>15846 Looks good so far, Anon. Better than I could do. Hopefully, you keep at it!

Maybe we should make it november instead of october?

>>15846 Cute. How do pictures get submitted? Just post them here or what?

>>16017 Anons usually post WIPs here. Then someone makes a mega folder or somesuch and people submit there

>Deadline Fawk. Has anyone even worked on anything yet? I haven't even gotten drawing pony heads down, yet alone bodies or making a scene with them. I have been practicing regularly though so expect some more in the draw thread soon.

>>16020 >Has anyone even worked on anything yet? On a concept so far, yes

>>16020 I've worked on some story concepts. Over the weekend I'll draw up some mor detailed outlines. Maybe I'll post the ideas here (just the ideas and concepts). Would it help to stimulate ideas for drawfrens?

When is the deadline again? I mulled it over and I'd like to pitch in, even if adding a short story or two won't do a ton.

So how's everybody doing?

>>16176 Not bad. Stories/greens coming along. You?

>>16176 I haven't found the mirror pool yet; can't be everywhere at once. I hope I will have time to make something.

Made a conceptual sketch of what I want to do. I'll take number 4, assuming some other anons are drawfags as well or if the same drawfags from the previous pack would like to participate.

I am now sketching ideas for the art pack. Is there already any details on the deadline? It would be kind of important to know.

>>16345 Last time I checked the deadline was "late Octobre"

Completed one pic. Maybe do some more, dunno.

>>16346 Who the fuck spells October like that

>>16393 The Craigslist user OP. That shit rots your brain through osmosis; people there can't even spell "dog" and "pig". Jokes aside complaining about spelling is reddit tier. I don't have spell check in my browser because I switched off microsoft edge when they made the windows look stupid and bubbly.

I haven't gotten very far in practicing drawing, but I thought of a last minute thing I have enough motivation to do. It's really stupid but I'm going to do a puppet show that might have some stop motion animation too. The production value will be extremely low and the plot I have thought up would feel right at home in the German comics; don't get your hopes too high.

>>16520 Sounds interesting. Looking forward for your project.

Alright if the OP abandoned this thread, then I will personally decide on a deadline and get to collecting the submissions. Any objections?

>>16525 I am the OP, and I'm making the puppet show. The deadline wasn't decided when I made the thread and we haven't decided yet. What deadline do you have in mind? I have been expecting something like october 28th.

>>16527 Woah I spelled it right that time holy shit!

>>16527 I would have added +1 week since the announcement is so late.

>>16543 lol I would add 2 months if I could. Just pick whataver date you want and We'll stick to it. I'm going to start working on my project this week.

>>16545 lets make a poll perhapa?

>>16546 How many people are even on board at this point? We barely scraped by last time and I'm worried we will just have two things instead of more like 5.

>>16551 We can make a poll and find out. Also, someone can try and advertise the pack in /bale/ or /create/ thread.

>>16551 I'm locked and loaded, so that should make three of us.

OK, so I tried to include the options talked about in the thread. I think that going to December would be not quite good, as it overlaps with Hearths Warming then. Please vote. https://strawpoll.com/bVg8oe6O2nY

>>16551 Writefren #2 checking in.

Working on the story

Found out about this from tempo, I will draw something

>>16605 Glad more people are joining!

Writefren #2 again. I'll be done with my story by end of next week. Will that still be in time?

>>16637 Anon, the poll indicates the release is planned to the end of Nov

>>16642 Oh. Kek, should've read more. I get a little absent minded sometimes. End of Nov., eh? Even more time to improve the story I'm writing then.

>>16562 So, judging by the poll it's safe to assume that the release date is the end of Nov?

>>16680 Yes

How's everyone's projects?

I'm gonna join!

>>16738 yay! more anons!

>>16738 Love to have ya.

>>16738 Welcome! Glad to have another contributor! >>16706 Mine's going fine. Will be ready in time.

I started on something for the pack on a whim today, I don't know if I'll end up polishing it up properly or coloring it, but here's a little peek

>>16761 It's looking great Anon.

>>16761 Damn that's cute!

Didn't know what to draw, but now I've got an idea and started working on it. Should be ready in a few days.

>>16848 Go for it, anon! I'm glad you decided to join.

Where are we dumping our files?

>>16872 seconding. If we don't get an update by the 29th I'm just gonna post my draw here. I'm >>16761 btw, just barely mustered the motivation to add some color but I'm fairly proud of it nonetheless.

>>16879 Probably best just to post it in thread. Then we can always gather it up at the end.

>>16872 The previous time an anon made mega folder for the submissions, this time I'm not sure

>>16884 Meh I'm standing by til the 29th in case this happens. Can hardly call it a pack if it's all unpacked.

>>16884 >>16885 I'll try and get one up soon. Hopefully later tonight.

>>16886 I'd like the deadline to be midnight December 4th so we all have the full weekend to finish our contributions.

>>16887 Dunno, that's for others to decide.

>>16887 That sounds like a good idea to me, but we really do need this to be the final deadline.

>>16886 I've made one: https://mega.nz/folder/FjcgjKrT#xbgVea84jIIJULQrXqrseQ I'll organize things more once there's more stuff.

>>16891 I can't upload there, there's no write access. I think you need to create a file request.

>>16893 https://mega.nz/filerequest/eIB4ij5dHYU

I propose we start collecting entries as decided, on 30th and accept them till 4th and then release. Also, will someone make a cover art for the pack?

I'm also finished with submissions. Are we extending until 4th? In that case I may make an additional piece.

>>16904 >Are we extending until 4th? Yes. >In that case I may make an additional piece. Sounds amazing Anon.

I made a placeholder cover for the artpack, in case nobody did any.

>>16907 I actually really like this.

>>16907 It's so cute!

>>16907 And including a short

>>16914 Are you making a video, anon?

>>16907 >art by drawfags How did you know I am a drawfag?

>>16919 Yes

Almost there. Congrats on creating pony content!

Alright, I think I've got the organization up to date. If you've submitted something, please double check that everything looks good at the link below. https://mega.nz/folder/FjcgjKrT#xbgVea84jIIJULQrXqrseQ Per what we said before, I will close the filerequest and make a new thread tomorrow. Probably in the late afternoon. If there is anyone working to get something in last minute, make post in the thread and I will try to hold off until you've gotten it in. But it must close tomorrow. Also, if you have any suggestions for the OP of the release thread, please post them now. I can also add in the OP to use the thread to come up with ideas for the next one. Thanks everyone for contributing, we came up with a lot more than I was thinking we would. A lot of nice stuff. Well done Anons.

>>16930 These artworks are heartwarming.

>>16907 an update for cover if videoanon will add his clip

>>16930 >>16933 I finished the video and uploaded it, make sure it gets in. I don't see it when I click the link yet.

>>16934 It's there now. I can only assume the duration was intentional?

>>16934 Absolute, unfettered, kino.

I think we should also make a post in /tempo/ on /mlp/, they even included the pack in OP.

So, where is the thread?

>>16935 A happy accident. I was going for around 5 minutes, and it was at 4:16 when I cut the last clip so I undid the cut and left in 4 more secconds of the curtain for that get.

Last calls for submissions. Release in a few hours.

>>16942 Submissions are closed! Stand by for new thread.

NEW THREAD >>16944

I suppose we can reupload the artworks on our own galleries? Where should the link point to?

>>16961 To the release thread I suppose.
