Description
A short animation I made to test my ability to animate with puppets. I modified the Rainboom puppets to make a Littlepip puppet, complete with her trademark Derpy-modified Stable-tec armored utility barding. I tried to get a happy medium between horse barding, the armored vault 101 suit, and animatable, I think it worked.Enjoy!

I know this isΒ Γber-late but nice work so far and I'd like to see more if you are still working on this.

Well done, surprised this hasn't hit higher anywhere.
Gonna need to keep an eye on ye.

Very nice, though one tiny nitpick I must add, isn't the glow of Littlepip's magic the same dark green as a Pipboy/Pipbuck screen?

Is it? I looked on the wiki at the time and didn't see the info. Maybe.

It is and her eyes are also green.

Very nicely done!!
If I may offer a critique, the last bit where she jumps forward feels a little too rushed. There's a bit more animation needed there to complete all the steps of jumping (like a little more pullback before the jump, etc.)
Otherwise, this is an awesome piece of animation!

IKR? If the radio drama starts posting episodes, then they can get fully animated and we can have our Wasteland ponies!

One detail that no one has mentioned yet would be that the muzzle flare would work better being in front of where the pipe were before the recoil. Now it looks like she's shooting a little upwards.
Otherwise, great work!

I see what you mean, I'll pay attention to that next time I animate a gun.

Gun needs a bit more kick back, lookin' good though

Looking pretty awesome! 
Still, looks great so far!

Good job, the animation is very smooth. I love it

Its awesome! However I question having her get kickback from the pistol for two reasons:
1. Its in telekinesis and not on her body there would be no kickback from a floating weapon.
2. Kickback from a pistol is not as much as you would get from a rifle.
Other than that its a nice short.

But it's a REALLY powerful pistol.

still I doubt she would get any kick out of it transferred to her body. It would move in telekinesis, but she would remain stationary.

Like I said above, the real reason is that it looks cooler. I would argue that it's partly an unconscious effect that allows her to maintain her grip on the pistol.

Meh what evs, you da artist. I know I couldn't make anything like it so..

I agree. No matter how strong little Pip's telekinesis is, the kickback would be too fat to react to and it would be impractical to try to hold a rapid-fire revolver still anyway. A sniper rifle, on the other hand, could really benefit from extra telekinetic grip holding it steady.

*fast, not fat, durp.

I think my tears turned to gold after watching that. All it needed was more time spent on her jumping away.

Pretty good stuff! Some parts are a little jumpy, but as you said, it's a test. Good Job nonetheless!

Well done but Lil' Mac haves a scope! Not saying is wrong or anything. But still looks good.

I had forgotten entirely. I should go change Li'l Mac's prop in my puppet.

Your welcome! I suggest to read the story more carefully so you won't forget those details!
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah, but it's a long story and details are easily missed. At least I put the Pipbuck on the correct leg this time.
π: 0 β©: 1
true, but no harm on reading it carefully though.

That's awesome! I love it!
One question though... why does Little Macintosh cause physical kickback when Littlepip isn't actually HOLDING it?
π: 0 β©: 2
"Because it looks better" is the real answer. Technical mumbo: holding it in mental grasp requires a lot of concentration, and the telekinetic field has to be adapted to move with the gun, or else a unicorn would lose her grip. It's easier to do this if you just react with the kick, making the bubble move instinctually.

It is in a magical grasp. So in theory, it would cause recoil to the operator
