Woo hoo!

>>16944 Sweet!

Just finished reading Unwrapping the Winter, very comfy. I liked it a lot.

>>16944 It's so nice!

>>16944 I've read Winter Night. Interesting twist with Princesses, I like it.

>>16949 Thanks! Can you say what in particular did you like?

Oh my gosh its wonderful! I love the colors in Icicles 2 and how they are shaded in Icicles 1. Twilight teaching a bunch of animals how to winter is funny.

The RD picture is so moving.

>>16952 It just felt very in character for everypony. The premise felt like something you might actually see in the show. The moment where RD turns around to get Scoots was very nice, as well as afterwards when she's talking about it to her friends. It gave her a taste of what flying was all about and got to help out the weather team in the process. Maybe Scoots is gonna ask for a cloud scooter for Christmas now.

MARE PICNIC AAAAAAA Why are all the mares alt-color hairstyles?

I really liked the stop-motion! Hope the videoanon will do more.

>>16959 They are all real background ponies from the Winter Wrap Up episode. I wanted to give them some recognition :)

>>16960 I didn't end up doing any stop motion so it's all puppet. I had one scene I was going to maybe use stop motion for but ran out of time and sortened it to that wall of text in the middle. >Hope the videoanon will do more Most likely lol, even though my motivation at the current moment is nill after grinding that project all weekend. And yes, I did all of it except cut the puppets out in two days because I procrastinate that bad :/

>>16964 That is so nice.

I love mare picnic. For some reason it feels extremely endearing. Thank you anon who made it!

>>16976 Yeah me too. Brings a tear to my eye.

>>16944 So many cute ponies! I love the Dashie and Tank picture in particular. Thanks artfrens!

>>16981 The Tank picture is very soulful.

>>16944 I love all of it! Mandu's paints are so pretty and sharp. I especially love Icicles 2. The slightly abstract composition of both icicles paintings is just chefs kiss perfect.

WOAH shit I just noticed my contribution didn't export with the text. So here's a bonus for the thread, thank you all for enjoying it. https://files.catbox.moe/om6ttp.png

So far both of our packs have been seasonal, but it could be fun to have a pack with a different kind of theme. Spitting on my keyboard: >Haunted castle >Everfree forest >Mountain expedition >Apple family when Granny Smith was young >Secret agent mares >A day in Princess Celestia's life >Group of friends trip to Manehattan I feel like we should discusss possible themes more than we did before choosing this time.

>>17006 >A day in Princess Celestia's life I'd probably vote for this just because Celestia, but it would be good to have a discussion to see where there's interest.

>>17006 I second Celesta becuase I'm sunfag, but would love to hear other anons too

>>17006 The trip to Manehattan could be really comfy.

boop for interest

guys?

>>17213 Yes?

>>17006 >Apple family when Granny Smith was young I like this idea for a pic or story, don't know if it's enough for a pack. Maybe something broader that would include it like old-times Ponyville?

>>17222 What are some ways that old time Equestria differs from modern?

>>17227 Even more rural? More grazing? Cute family picnics on a medow that don't require neither cloth nor basket?

>>17227 Maybe more superstitions and more "wild" magic?

Oh my gosh, I just read the two stories. They are both absolutely stunning. The Rainbow Dash story is so unimaginably cute, my eyes got misty. I love it. The magic story is amazingly well written. It's so cool how effortlessly it implies a lot about the world. Fantastic read.

>>17285 Glad you enjoyed, anon. Would you like to take part in the next artpack?

Is anyone interested at all?

>>17534 Well what sort of art pack are you thinking? We could do a ponies and weather art pack. (Or really anything you could think of, that was just the first thing that came to mind)

>>17537 An anon here listed a few possible themes>>17006 personally I'm in favor of >A day in Princess Celestia's life

>>17538 I do love Celestia. I wonder what other lurkers think.

Alright, let's do Celestia pack. Theme will be >A day in Princess Celestia's life Timeframe: at least a month Chime in if you want to participate

>>17602 Autumn is Celestia's favorite season so we can release the pack at September

>>17602 Should we make a new thread?

>>17639 Dunno. On one hoof this one only has a couple of replies. On the other, the new thread will make it to stand out

>>17639 Probably eventually. You'd just want to have the details of the OP figured out first.

>>17642 Every active thread on this baord stands out well enough, on the other hand we could leave this one alone for posterity. I vote a new thread once we decide on a deadline.

>>17602 i am interested

>>17657 Welcome, anon!

>>17602 It's Celestia, I'd have to do something.

Vote for date https://poll.horse/XRKwzcsV

What kind of things will the pack have in it? I mean, what can be contributed?

>>17706 As with the previous packs. Stories and art are both welcome. Any irl crafts as well, in the first winter pack an anon made a music box.

>>17685 October won. The artpack can be released at the first weekend of October if everyanon agree

>>17710 Well, more time for everyone, I guess. The theme is Celestia, but what mood should we aim for? Peace? Loneliness?

>>17723 How about nostalgia? Or maybe reminiscence? I always feel that way in autumn.

>>17724 How the hell can one depict nostalgia?

>>17740 Through colors, through facial expression, overall mood

You are working on something, anons? Right?

>>17942 ummmmmmmmmm maybe

>>17942 I'm working on something. A story. I was racking my brains trying to figure out something "nostalgia-ish". But, I think I've finally got something. I just gotta put the words down now.

guys?

>>18018 Still hoping for inspiration to find me.

Anyone working on anything?

>>18039 Working on a green. I don't know if it exactly fits the theme, but it is Autumn flavored.

Doing a pic. When is the release?

>>18055 It was agreed to early October>>17710 Should we create a new thread specifically for this art pack?

>>18060 I think we should have it be the end of October as the anni is going to be going on through the middle of the month and people may be preoccupied with that. Definitely should make a new thread for visibility. Maybe the Anon who put together the previous art pack covers is still around. It'd be nice to keep the theme going.

Ah, that is some awful timing. Not having a separate thread for the new art pack is just messy, and the October launch is obviously impossible for anyone attending Mare Fair, Anniversary stream, and Ponycon Holland.

>>18065 I propose to extebd the release to the early Nov

>>18065 Does it suit? Also, probably should make a new thread for accepting submissions, so it stands out more.

>>18091 I like it.

>>18091 Planning thread: >>18096
