Talking The Friendship Contest! Submissions closed! Time to vote!

Submissions are closed! Please vote for your favorites in the Art Forum!

Friendship Drawing Contest!

Welcome to our contest, where one of the prizes is a brand new Wacom Graphics Tablet!. There are also other awesome pony prizes to be announced soon, generously provided by our very own SatinSlipper! You can win by either drawing your fellow MLPTP members and or by just getting drawn! That's right! the winning pictures will have three winners each, the artist and the two members who contribute their pony "persona" designs.

What is a persona?

Well a "persona" or a personal pony, is a pony whose color/designs/even accessories represent you or aspects of your personality. Let's say you really like dancing. They your "persona" would be a pony that represents that. It could have musical notes or disco lights as a symbol, for example. Her/his colors would be your favorite colors. Its all up to what you want her/him to look like.


How can you enter:

You can participate by offering to draw people and/or posting a detailed description and pictures (if you have them) of a persona of your own creation. No Hasbro created ponies I'm afraid. The idea is to get your creative juices running and design a pony that you fancy.

You may enter more than one persona BUT you can only have one drawn at the time. Let's say you have two personal ponies. You can have each pony drawn in a separate entries with other two ponies that belong to other people. Even if the artist agrees to draw four ponies with two ponies being your own, it will still count as one entry.

Theme:

The theme is Friendship!.

Categories:

There are two categories: Digital created/colored pieces. and Traditional created colored pieces.


Rules:

1. To be eligible, each piece must have three ponies in it. Sending in three drawings with one pony in them doesn't count. There has to be friendly interaction between the ponies, by this I mean, playing, cooking, dancing, etc. Anything that friends you think would be doing.

2. The ponies in the picture must belong to three different people. One must be the artist's creation. You may not enter three ponies belonging to you.

3. By posting the description of your pony in this thread, you are giving permission to have her/him drawn. Please be as descriptive as possible, especially if you don't have any visual references for your pony. Describing their personality also helps.

4. You must have permission from the owners of the pony to draw them (in the case you want to draw someone who didn't post in this thread). Ask them to post in this thread stating that they gave you permission.

5. You can enter as many times as you want as long as each piece submitted follows the guidelines provided. It would be better to have different ponies accompanying your own each time so more people have a chance of winning, but its totally ok to use the same three ponies in each of your entries.

7. Entries must be in before midnight eastern time on the date of the deadline. July 2nd.

8. You must pm a link to your entry to me or satinslipper. You may also e-mail it at gabyflr@gmail.com We do ask that you not post it anywhere on this site until after judging has commenced. However, if you have an online gallery outside the MLPTP.net, you may post it there. The only reason for this rule is too keep track of all the entries.

9. You may post a description of your pony(ies) at any time during the contest before the deadline, but remember that the sooner you do so, the more time you'll or others will have to draw something.

10. You may both drawn and put up a pony's description up. It is possible for you to win more than once.


Deadline:

The contest starts today! and ends July 2nd at midnight eastern time. It will not be extended even if we only get one entry. Which would be very, very sad. Don't make us sad. *small tear* :P You'll have a month to work on your entries, so don't rush but don't wait until the last minute either. :P

Judging:

Judging will be done by community vote. After the deadline is passed and all the entries are in, they will be put up for vote for from July 3rd. to July 11th. Its a little more than a week but I wanted the winner announcement to be on a Friday more or less. There will be two polls for each category, one will be best theme representation and the other will be best overall picture regardless of theme. Then the results from each poll will be tallied and the winners determined.

The Grand Prize winner will be the piece with the most votes, second and third places will be the pieces following in vote count for each category.

Prize claiming:

The artist of the first place winning entry will get to choose first, then the owners of the two other ponies in the picture will get to choose. Then the same will be done for second and third place. For a total of 15 potential winners!

Any questions feel free to ask here or pm me.

You may start posting your descriptions now!

I'm drawing and posting my persona to be drawn. Here is a big picture of it and some in my signature as well. Hurry and post some of yours so I can get started.

Xayide is a white winged unicorn, with really long dark purple hair and a dark green stripe in her mane. She has brown eyes and glasses and her symbol is 3 crossed colored pencils in magenta, cyan and yellow, and a couple of black music notes around it.

Nope, that's fine the way it is. About the only thing I would suggest is a description of her personality or what likes or doesn't like, to help inspire someone who might take you up on drawing her.

Her personality is very easy going. She loves fall days and winter walks. Her likes are of course cats, feathers, cars and baby sitting children. She just doesn't like dogs to much. They chase her you know.
Thanks Cardinal Melody if anybody needs more info. you all are welcome to ask me.

I'm in. I've several personas, here we go.

Melody Blitzkreg (Me!)
A somewhat outgoing girl with a lightning personality. Funloving and a true pirate at heart, she loves the ocean and her deepest desire is to be a captain of her own boat, like her father and brother.





Queen Dolphina
Melody's mother. She is a very upfront pony, and nobody in their right mind would dare disobey her. She is an excellent mom, and will do anything for her kids. She wishes her youngest filly, Melody, would choose a different career, an attourney to be specific. They disagree very often about this.



I've 4 more- Butterflia, (Melody's sister), Captain (her father), Big D (brother), and Sunrise (nobody knows who he is BUT melody...she has known him for years..but her true feelings about him are never shown to her family)

Here's mine! Designed especially for this contest, representing my evergrowing love for Disney princesses! :D



Personality-wise.. think of Disney Enchanted! Loves to sing and dance, to dress up and go to balls. Flies with glee, likes to put her hair up in a fancy way, loves cats, adores magic tricks by a fairy godmother..

Bianca is a completely white pegasus with a sea green stripe in her mane and tail and sea green eyes. Her symbol is a crown around two roses, the crown being decorated by sea green diamonds.

If you feel like it, you can tweak her design a bit - add stripes to her hair, simplify the symbol or whatnot. :D

Wheee! Ok so I can't draw worth a darn but I have some neat personas sooooooo I will offer them up here with my express permission for people to use.


Here is my Pirate Pony, Dread Black Jenny. Captain of The Scarlet Lady's Revenge. She's a pirate pony through and through. A bit loud, totally un-afraid of everything. Personality wise she's somewhere between Captain Jack and Captain Hook. She's quite sarcastic and makes alot of eye rolls and funny faces but if she becomes your friend, she is for life and will fight to the death for you. She does have a sword, and her symbol doesn't have to look exactly like that, any type of skull and crossbones works. Think of her just like she is. A surly pirate. She also loves her ship and the sea and can usually be found there, she walks a bit funny on land. She loves boats, treasure and battles.

Next up my proud pack of emo ponies as I like to call them. Vengeance is first.

Vengeance is based off of one of, if not my favorite band, My Chemical Romance. She's a G1esque pegasus, white body, white, red and black hair. Hazel/brown eyes. Her wings are black. She has the word "Revenge" tattooed on her front, left leg.

She is very emo, think lots of eyeliner/eye makeup, legwarmer thingies, hoodies and so on. She's shy, but around people she's comfy with she's very loud, but still self-conscious. She's a lead singer in her own band and doesn't realize how talented she is. She loves comic books, makeup and hoodies. Here's some ref pics of her.

This is her symbol.

Next up we have Heartcore. Also one of my emo ponies. Pink G1 peg with fuschia hair and a blond streak. Her eyes are a bright lime green. She also wears hoodies, legwarmers etc. She's not as quiet quite as Vengeance, she's a bit more hyper and not as sarcastic, but you won't find her without her I-Pod. She is based on the band The Used and is the bassist in Vengeance's band. She loves tea, is a vegetarian, and loves piercings.

Her symbol

Next up is Echelon Mithra. Based off Thirty Seconds to Mars. A white G1 peg, her hair is black with the tips and underneath dyed blood red. Her eyes are a very vivid blue. She to wears lots of eyeliner and such. Echelon is quiet, a bit mysterious and very temperamental. She lives for music and is often found alone singing along to a favorite song and such. She wanders off alone in dreary places like graveyards alot. She is the drummer for Vengeance's band. She tends to keep mostly to herself.

Her symbol

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...nas/image2.jpg








And last but not least just for fun something a bit different.

Fairest. She's based off the Evil Queen from Snow White and is just as evil herself. She likes few people but is drawn to darker things, but when she does find someone she likes she is very, very loyal and won't hesitate to do anything for her friends. No one knows where she came from, and most are afraid to ask.

This is her symbol

and her hoof symbol is the dagger on the box.

Also I have lots of other personas, a Taking Back Sunday Pony, a Aiden pony, my pony with fox ears and a fox tail etc so if you are interested in doing any of my other personas just pm me and I'll gladly give you permission and pictures.
