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.:065:
 
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.


1_deeppurplepirate.jpg



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.
Dolphina.jpg



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

persona.jpg


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.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v712/LiberalNinja/Ponies and Personas/mcr2.gif


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

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...sonas/the-used-patches_1160557938_the-use.gif




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

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.

:D

WARNING: Lots of persona ponies ahead! lol

Yay!! :D This is a great sounding contest. I'll be drawing and putting up my own persona ponies for others to draw as well!

Hopefully there's no limit to the amount of persona ponies we put up - I have quite a few, lol.

First up is of course my main persona pony, Oceana: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v65/Aerosmith_Gal/OceanaRefSheet.png
She's the leader of my elemental ponies. Very stubborn and always concerned about the best interest of her friends and family. She's very opinionated and will tell anypony exactly what she thinks about them. When she is with her close friends and family she cracks a lot of jokes and is very sarcastic about them. She also can be shy at times... especially when she is around her pony crush - Hunter!

Second is my fire elemental pony, Inferna: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v65/Aerosmith_Gal/Characters/Infernarefsheet.png
Inferna is a very vain pony. She's always concerned about her hair and the way she looks. She thinks she's the most beautiful pony there is and comes from a very high standing family. Very concerned about popularity - she's always trying to do her best to fit in. Oh... and she's very obsessed with stallions and having a boyfriend. Naturally - she is afraid of water and can't swim.

Third is my wind elemental pony, Tornada: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v65/Aerosmith_Gal/Characters/Tornadarefsheet.png
Tornada is a very quiet, shy pony. She'll only open up and talk and laugh when she is with her closest friends. She's also very clumsy - which only adds to her shyness.

I'd add my earth elemental pony - but she is still in need of a symbol. ;)

Fourth is Purity: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v65/Aerosmith_Gal/Characters/Purity.png (also a picture by SilverHealer) http://fc08.deviantart.com/fs17/f/2007/165/e/8/75___Purity_by_SilverHealer.jpg
Purity is a very solitary pony. She lives on her own in a forest because she wants to avoid all the attention she draws out in the open world (she is one of the last of the winged unicorns in my story). She loves it when gypsy ponies come to her forest to visit tho - especially the younger members of the clan! Because she is almost always by herself - she tends to trust ponies that come to her forest a little too easily.

Fifth is Purity's dark side, Sullied: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v65/Aerosmith_Gal/Characters/Sullied.png (also a picture by SilverHealer) http://fc04.deviantart.com/fs16/i/2007/167/7/b/5___Sullied_by_SilverHealer.jpg

Sixth is a stallion, Hunter: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v65/Aerosmith_Gal/Characters/Huntercharactersheet.png
He's very hard headed and has a lot of anger issues... but any pony who calls him his/her friend will tell you that he is the most loyal friend you could ask for. He fights for his friends and loved ones and won't allow anyone to hurt them. He will also always stand up for what he believes in. Most of the time his personality is very serious... although he will laugh and have a good time with friends.

Other various characters:

Zalmestad: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v65/Aerosmith_Gal/Characters/Zalmestad.png

Anvil: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v65/Aerosmith_Gal/Characters/Anvilcharactersheet.png

Leviathan: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v65/Aerosmith_Gal/Characters/Leviathancharactersheet.png

King Game: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v65/Aerosmith_Gal/Characters/KingGameCharacterSheet.png (also with his crown - by MustBeJewel) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v65/Aerosmith_Gal/aero1.jpg

Whew! *wipes sweat from brow* That was a lot of ponies. Now to pick out some other personas to draw! :mrgreen:

I'll give permission to use my persona. I have plenty of ponies I've created , but only one persona.

Baby Nightmare

Breed: pegasus
Hair: dark green
body: grey-green
eyes: yellow
symbol:
nightmare.jpg
evil cloud, the sort children draw to show nightmare creatures sometimes. It's grey with yellow slit eyes. A bit less cartoony though, this is a quick drawing I did of it for reference.
personality: Outgoing and often up to something, she's sometimes a bit of a loner because she represents the dark aspects of dreaming, but she's not unfriendly or doom&gloomy.
Likes: storms, tricks, flying in high winds, games
Dislikes: being thought of as evil just because of her name. Spiders.
 
Oh yeah! I'll be drawing for this one! I post my persona's later as well, I gotta get to work so I don't have time for detailed decriptions!

So many good persona's, I can't wait to have mine persona interact with them!
 
So many wonderful choices. Makes me sad that I can't technically participate.

I may do some non competition drawings anyway though. :p
 
I've never been very talented at drawing ponies, but the rest of you talented folks can feel free to use my persona for this contest, if you like:

I've never really picked an official name for her; I always just called her "Pika-Chan". She is a sweet, warm, and loving pony, who loves to laugh and have fun. Her favorite season is Autumn, with all it's beautiful colors, but her favorite place to be is the ocean. She loves puppies and Pikachu (of course). She's a video game junkie, and loves to read and cook, and is a fan of Bam Margera/cKy.

Here are a couple of pics to help you out, but please let me know if you need anything else!

White unicorn, Purple and Blue mane/tail (think: Glory's colors)
pikamlp.jpg


Close up of symbol:
Pikaimage.jpg
 
Whoa, there are heaps of really gorgeous personas here! :D I'm itching to draw a few of them. :p

I'll have my characters thrown into this thread eventually - maybe later on today? or tomorrow... I need to redraw their profiles since the images I have of them are either out of date or incomplete. -_- No time to finish them now though... XD
 
Silver Shadow wants to draw my persona and I'm a bit interested in entering myself, so, here's mine. =3

Delta is the Goddess of Snow, she's a pegasus and her symbol is a light blue snowflake of any design. She always wears a necklace with a golden star pendant on it.

Here is a profile ref drawn by me: Delta -Profile- by ~GuardianDelta on deviantART
 
miss_tuneful is going to be using my persona, but if anyone else is interested in using it, let me know. I'd be happy to share! She's pink with a teapot and cup as her cutie mark.
Here's a ref picture. Anyone else is welcome to use it, just let me know!!
