[image i.d.: messy digital art of tf2 blu soldier and red demo. the top of the image reads: "would you kill your best friend for 1 mil?" soldier excitedly smiles and points at demo, holding the direct hit in his other hand. he says: "well brother if i killed you for 1 million US AMERICAN dollars". demo spreads his hands in an equally excited motion, holding the scottish resistance. he returns the smile, saying: "and i killed ye for 1 million usd". then they both say in unison: "then we should have 20 mil !!!!1!" the bottom of the image is captioned: "the war update sequel: the insurance scam update". /end i.d.]
Technophobes need to apologise for "just put it in plain English you stupid machine!" because, well for one the decline in accurate error messages in favour of simplicity has contributed to the rise of tech illiteracy, but also because now whenever an "app" has a net connection error it will pop up a box saying something like "oo ooopsie! Your super duper feed went poo poo. We'll try again soon!" which having said to me by a corporation is about 8 million times worse than having to hear the word "network".
we talk a lot about ohhhh what if my calling is to be the greatest mammoth hunter ever and I'm wasting my talents in the modern era but we never think about what if Thog from 30,000 BCE was the only person ever born who could get a sub-7min Donkey Kong Country any%, and he never got the chance. what about thog
I didn't actually make my pony armature to just try to imitate the og pony toys. I wanted to see if I could make models of *different* poses.
But, noteably, an armature like this doesn't make new stuff perfectly! with all poses I can make with it, I would need to edit the sculpt significantly- and I would want to, anyways, because adding asymmetry and some difference is what makes the poses fun.
Anyways, I went through some of the g4 ponies which have dynamic poses to test new poses
These poses aren't dissimilar to some of the g1 poses: Paradise pose, Truly pose, and Mimic Pose
The difficulty, I iimagine, is creating proper balance for poses. The rearing poses aren't really balanced at all, they come with stands. The only properly "flying" pose is Paradises' pose. Although the above Twilight pose is similar to Mimic, there actually isn't a unicorn pose with a turned head.
Another one that would be fully unbalanced as a doll, however, I really like the idea of a bucking pony toy.
I think a shy Fluttershy pose would be cute, kind of a pegasus variation on the Gusty unicorn pose. Or the petite pony "shy pose" which would be cute in a big pony variation.
I'd like to try a lying down pose, this is one attempt
although I think id prefer a lying down one more like the glory and glory baby pose:
