Description Hey hey, everyperson! Wow, that sounds stupid. Kind of makes me rethink the whole "everypony" thing... This here's my submission for the contest over at the %MLP-VectorClub . Basically -- as explained in this journal entry here -- they're looking for a new mascot, and they've left it up to us, the members of the club, to design him/her.

When I saw the journal entry, my first thought was, "She needs to have anchor points in her mane, sort of like the pony outline in their group icon."

<-- See, right there.

My second thought was, "To sort of represent the sort of clean nature of vector graphics, she should have a smooth, streamlined design to her, without all those choppy, messy bits in her mane or tail that Rainbow Dash or Applejack have."

A few thoughts later, and her design was completed. Obviously, I had to name her Beizer Curve, because that's what vectors are made of.

Looks like I'm about the sixth submission to the contest, but we've got until the 17th of November so who knows who else is going to enter? In any case, I wish all of the rest of the entries luck.
You're going to need it to beat this design. (mostly joking.)

Hey, I'm a good sport, so check out all the entries for this contest!


EDIT: Contest over. I didn't win it sadly, but I had a lot of fun designing ol' Beizer. And plus, now that she hasn't become property of %MLP-VectorClub , she's fair game, and I can now freely claim her as one of my own personal OCs.


Anyway, here's the guys that won. Go give them props!

Hey, thanks man. Way I see it, I had fun just coming up with the design and entering her in the contest.

Sure, it would have been nice to have won, but why let focusing on that get in the way of enjoying myself, right?

Drewdini In reply to sandramom123 [2013-10-18 01:44:44 +0000 UTC]

Hey, thanks a lot.

Those anchor points (which is what they're called. ) are a part of her mane, yes. It's the idea I had in mind for her design since she's for the MLP Vector-club. Of course, real anchor points do not show up in the final render, so I had to go in and individually vector false anchor points for her mane.

Nice one! Hey, I was also gonna do an earth pony with anchor points in the mane and tail. Guess you beat me to it . Was also going to include the handles from each point as well... or would that make it too clustered?Β  meh.

Anyway great design and CM.

Drewdini In reply to DewlShock [2013-10-09 00:56:34 +0000 UTC]

Hey, thanks. I was actually gonna upload closer to the end-of-challenge date, so if I'd done that, you'd be the one beating me to the idea. Nah, I think adding in each and every handle would clutter it up, but maybe you could make it work out, man. Of course, you'd have to figure out where in the actual vector the actual handles pointed so you could put your fake handles in the right spot.

Anyway, thanks again.

Yeah, I dunno. I guess I was always an Earth Pony guy. My ponysona's an EP, most of my OCs are EPs, and even the ones that are unicorn or pegasus, I play them like EPs.

Hey, thanks for the lovely comment thing.

MrBarthalamul [2013-10-08 17:54:27 +0000 UTC]

It's like you vectored the vector of a pony in a program used to make vectors. The meta's tripping me out. Probably just need sleep....


I like the colors though! Perhaps if the nodes and such were actual hair clips or jewelry? Nicely done in any case!

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Drewdini In reply to MrBarthalamul [2013-10-08 18:02:04 +0000 UTC]

Haha this pony is definitely filled with meta. Of course, actual anchor points wouldn't have shown up in the final render, so I had to go in and individually vector false anchor points to make sure they were visible in the final product. Yes, it was a bit of work, but it was totally worth it for this pony to gush meta.

So basically, I used the things that make up a vector to vector the things that make up a vector.

Looking awesome to me man! I noticed there aren't very many entries. But with their hilariouslyΒ ridiculous standards (which they themselves seem to skimp on when looking at submissions), it's no surprise. Although I would like to finish a piece for their Original Style folder, since that seems to be the moreΒ attractive thing they've got going.

I hope you nail it man!

Drewdini In reply to adamlhumphreys [2013-10-08 20:05:33 +0000 UTC]

Well sure, they have high standards, but with an infinitely scalable image, any mistakes you make are also infinitely scalable, and they only get bigger and more obvious the more you zoom in. So I understand why they have high standards, and I don't mind fixing anything they point out when I've submitted the thing.

I'm actually gonnabe submitting a something to the Original Style folder closer to Halloween.

Hey, thanks for the well wishes!

Ah, that's true. It does have to be pretty close to what they have in the show. Otherwise, they shove it into "Original Style." Didn't think'a that one... I think original style is allowed for this contest, though.
