My Halloween Costume:

http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewPicture&friendID=68806647&albumId=2977772

Pictures taken before and during the parade.  I like to show up really early, like 3 or 4 hours before it starts.

Did someone say "ponies"?  No?

OK, I finally got into the show, and it is just as good as they say it is...

Now, below, in that there spoiler, you will find pics of a Rarity toy that I customized into a horrible and disturbing abomination.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I'm still working on the other 5 main characters.  They will all be creepy, weird, and surreal, but this was the first one I finished, and most extreme example.

Oh my god! :il_hahaha:
So.... Do you like MLP or detest it? :e_tongue:

I like your style, though!
You pretty much make in 3D what I used to make in 2D back in my high school art classes. Ah, the strange and wonderful things I used to come up with. Kept my art teachers fascinated and fellow students disturbed. :e_wink:

Hope to see much more of this!

Can't say I like that show (or that I've ever watched it), but that's some damn fine work. Just sublime. :im_nabeshin:

Yes, I admit it: it's true. :shiouji:

Thanks!  I do like the show.  Really, I do!  X^D

I'm glad you like it, Foggle.   :e_pleased:
I honestly thought the whole popularity of it was a joke.  Then I watched a few episodes, and really enjoyed it.  Well written, very funny (even with the loads and loads of puns), very well animated, subtle jokes and references that kids won't get yet also actually make sense within the story.  It's not high art, but a hell of a lot better than any cartoon I've seen since Spongebob got dumbed down.

__________________________________________


I'm calling the series 'Un Poney Andalou' (even though there are six of them), in homage to my hero: Salvadore Dali  I forgot to mention that the title of that Rarity is 'The Uncommon'.  I haven't been this eager to be creative in years, and I went out and bought, like, $200 worth of art supplies and toys to use for parts, including the top-of-the-line Dremel 4000 (plus the carving/engraving set of bits).


So you have an idea of what to look forward to:

Works in progress:
-Pinkie Pie is turning into a scrap-metal cyborg (inspired by Tetsuo The Iron Man).
-Twilight Sparkle will be
Spoiler (click to show/hide)


Not started yet / barely worked on:
-Applejack will eventually become a patchwork rag-doll/scarecrow.  Not sure exactly which way I'm going to go.  Definitely green buttons for eyes, though.
-Fluttershy will be an angel, as described by Ezekiel (six wings, the hands of a man, four faces, and covered with eyes).  The only problem is: I have to buy, and then remove the hair of, three more Fluttershys!   :hdead:  That one's going to take the longest to actually make.animals.
-Rainbow Dash is going to be the most difficult to realize...  She'll be, like, an electrified hotrod/comet...thing.

Because there are just too damn many pictures, here's my Deviant Art page of this series.  I've been there 2 years, and these are among the only thing's I've posted.  I'll put up the ACROSS girls masks soon!  I totally forgot about those.   :il_hahaha:

Next up:  digitus minimus 3.14
or, Pink'mina, the Iron Pony

P.S.  Also added the perpetually popular pony: Fluttershy.

This is the pic that I submitted to be included in Volume 23.
It is also in the Fanart section of our Gallery!

More of Un Poney Andalou.  I don't really feel like hosting a bunch of pictures that are already hosted elsewhere, and there are a lot of them.
You can see some nice close-up pics of Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and Applejack.  All surreal, some disturbing.
Twilight Sparkle will be added later, because I promised someone that she would be the first to see it.

Yeah, Dalí has been a big influence on my overall outlook of what art is or can be.  Mostly his paintings; I more recently discovered this short film.
It's a true classic.  Just don't try to make sense of it, because it's not supposed to...  Kind of like what I've been doing.  ;^J
I also re-created the original poster:

Thanks for posting the link!  It's public domain now...  Why didn't I think of that?   :e_embarassed:

P.S.  *Very convincing eyeball injury in the beginning (it was a dead donkey).*

Actually, that film is a Luis Buñuel and Dalí film...

Well, yeah, I knew that...  ;^_^  It's just that Dalí has been more of an influence on me than Buñuel...


ANY-way!  Here, look at these pretty flowers:  http://emeralddarkcrow.deviantart.com/gallery/32906512

...more to come.
