Description
For the group week 9 - athletic ponies, with a bit of the bonus theme for tiny ponies added in.So here we have Lyra bringing her obsession to become human even in the games she plays. Really, the things Bon-Bon has to put up with...
This pic was great for practice. I was able to use pixel art, vector art and raster editing all in one deviation!

Lyra! What are you doing and why are you still sitting the wrong way?
Are thou suggesting we gamers are incorrect in our seated posture?

She should be using the old power pad to play.

For a pony, that'd work really well.
But knowing Lyra, she'd flip if she ever saw the Power Glove!

Lyra should use a coin or a ruler. [link]

Nice, I like how even the text/font for the 8-bit style game looks almost like an authentic NES game. Nice facial expressions to.

That's because it's based off an NES game. "Track and Field" I think it's called.

Thanks! I actually planned this 2-panel pic from the start. It was really a coincidence that it also kinda fit the 'tiny ponies' bonus theme!

The video game nerd in me squealed...wait, I AM a video game nerd... O_o
But great job! You nailed three things in one go! Usually people aim for only two things at once! XD

LOL I'm kinda geeky myself when it comes to video games. When I'm not reading up on reviews of the latest games, I sometimes look up facts about the history and cultural impact of past games and systems!
I think this is the first time I've tried three techniques in one go. Glad to hear it turned out well! Thanks!

NES Track and Field is only the beginning. Just wait until Lyra loads up Excitebike! I love the concept on this one, and the combination of the three art styles works really well. Bon-bon's expression is great, that mix between 'oh, this again' and 'wait, what?!" Also, now I need to go reload some NES Rom's...

LOL Excitebike's theme just played back in my head while reading this!
Bon-Bon was the trickiest part here, really. It took me a while to make her look confused rather than sad or angry about what she's looking at.
Also, speaking of NES roms, have you tried the SMB2 pony mod? It was great!

I HAVE! The SMB2 mod is way too fun! I haven't gotten the chance to finish it yet though!

Jdan-S In reply to Invidlord [2011-09-01 02:02:04 +0000 UTC]
Yep, it's a pretty good mod! The best way to enjoy it really is to play through the all the levels without warping.
Seriously, I needed to pause the game on the first boss fight cause I just burst out laughing when I saw who it was!

I miss our old Famicom now. Good times!

Heheh, nah, this is pretty cool. Ironically enough, though I've seen every episode, I still don't know where I've seen these two.
Still, tis nice to view and very cute with the pixel share; keep up the goodness!

Lyra and Bon-bon? They're part of the background ponies who show up randomly in crowds. They eventually became fan-favorites.

Ah, okey-dokey. I wondered where exactly they were seen while sitting as such.
