Description
[link]So yes, I'm considering an expansion to the ranks of my "ponies in Saints' clothing" reskins. I can't guarntee they'll come anytime soon, or if they will happen at all, but I'm willing to play with the idea, and that's where you observers come in.
I've been nailing down a few gang member/small horse mashups, but I want to both see what ideas other people have, and if my ideas are popular with the audience for the final skins. So what I have here my current roster submitted for your reaction, as well as a request for your own ideas.
A few guidelines:
1. Try to make the connections somewhat make sense: be it in a way relating to their character (such as both Big Mac and Oleg being big strong guys), be related to fan associations (like how Spitfire and Rainbow Dash are often seem to go with one another like Johnny Gat and Aisha), or just being a way to lampoon a kind of character (I paired Trixie with Josh Burke almost purely due to Butt Monkey reasons). Though on the flip side...
2. Don't be afraid to pair characters that are opposites: Though I'm not dealing completely with gang member characters, the way I try to excuse these mashups is that these gang ponies have Discord Sautration, which means they are often acting the opposite of how they are in the show. This is the prime motivation for pair-ups like Fluttershy with the Boss/Playa, or Octavia with Matt Miller.
3. Be a bit familar with the Saints Row side of things: I'm guessing there's a few of you that like this idea of mine who aren't really familar with the games or their casts. If that's the case, you can start looking up these characters on this handy dandy wiki ([link] ) before making an informed decision on what your pair-up suggestions are.
4. No OCs: I understand if you like the gangs of the Saints Row universe, but I don't want to use unofficial characters when making counterparts to the real ones in these games. If you want your or somebody elses' OCs, look into making them a random gang member (if you want a skin for that, you can try copying from my finished skins. I'll see about making ones for random gang members that anyone can use)
With those tips, hopefully you're good to go with helping me nail down ideas for the expansion of these Saints Row reskin sets. And don't be afraid to give ideas that aren't listed on this picture. If you know any characters that would look great dressing up as the General, Carlos or one of the STAG commanders, among others, throw those ideas into your comments too.
BTW, if any of you reading this are reskinners yourself, feel free to give any of these ideas a shot at texturing yourself. By all means, I don't mind other people adding to this collection. Doing these skins is fun, but working on them all by myself is sure to get tedious after a while.
Image features photos taken from the Saints Row wiki and the DeviantArt galleries of MarineACU and Illu-Mint, along with ones of my own. I don't lay claims to all of them.
Random Saints pony in the background is known as SaintsStar, created by Rysowniczka2 and skinned by Neros1990 [link]

I'm actually thinking Pipsqueak can be Carlos, Diamond Tiara gets to be Shogo, but thanks for the advice.
Reminds me I need to find someone for Eric in the future.

As much as I have been doing a very different approach of mixing Ponies with the Saints Row franchise, I think I might vouch for Iron Will as Killbane.
both are... very egotistical, charismatic, hot-blooded, doesn't like taking no for an answer, knows how to attract a crowd, sometimes speaks with slight poetic edge, they're identical!

True, though I already went and did Dr. Hooves as Killbane based mostly on the unexpectedness factor. THat, and GModders don't have an Iron Will model yet.

i'm just spit balling here but how about

gilda as shogo
and shining armor as troy or Cyrus

Two of those ideas have been ones I've approved of.
I'm definitively liking the ideas I have for some of the SR2 casting, given how those plots turn out. Having Pipsqueak be the guy who gets dragged across the asphalt by the Brotherhood sounds quite heartstring-tugging, heh heh heh...
And while the thought of Gilda getting buried alive by Gat is tempting, I'm thinking more of one of the bratty fillies the CMC keep encountering (Diamond Tiara and some other character, can't quite recall the name).

That's certainly a clever flipside-thinking idea. I was thinking of him for Loren as well, but the sheer ludricrousness of that kind of match-up is too good to resist (It's why chose Octavia for Matt Miller).

Yankovic270 In reply to Andrewnuva199 [2012-06-09 18:48:08 +0000 UTC]
What about Photo Finish as Loren? She's the only pony I know with a European accent. Trixie also works for Miller. And what about DJ PON3 as Veteran Child?
