Description this is an adopt batch for who gets first pick of the ponies, all the rest are up for adoption :3
though im posting it before they have chosen, their pick will count as an AB so feel free to put in your bids.
they're all inspired by different war themes and such. these ones are moreso based on jobs. they're also from #53 of the 100 theme pony challenge :3


#1 Lancaster (Aeroplane ) // Air force // British
he was originally based off the paratroopers from WW2, thus the cutie mark and the physical design. him and his fellow troops would be sent in ahead of the rest, dropping right into the middle of enemy territory. there's a high death rate to his squad but they're invaluable to the war effort. the clear out the enemy's big guns so the land troops can get off the beach.
his cutie mark was meant to represent a pony flying out through the night clouds, towards the battlefield. 

#2 Outrider (the soldier that rides in front of the army to scout) // Scout // American
thanks to his dark, dappled markings he's very good at hiding in the shadows and gathering information on the locations of enemy troops, guns, tanks and trenches. his bag contains things like, maps, pens, compass, all those little knickknacks he needs for gathering info. he may even speak the same language as the enemy and listen to them while in the cover of the shadows to get even more information.
both the symbol on his bag and his cutie mark are based off the american air force star

#3 Anzac Dawn // WW1 Medic // Australian
Anzac (stand for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) and Dawn because the Australian military symbol (the cutie mark) is based on the rising sun.
hes a medic, as simply as that. you can decide what equipment he has on the other side. the bag has a white circle with the medic red cross. the things on his hip are bandages and he has another small medical bag with the cross on it beneath his wing. his helmet is WW1 standard issue. the medic is always on the front lines of the war, along with the troops, he's always there when someone gets injured, to try as had as he can to shave their life.

#4 Market Garden // WW2 Battle // German
Operation Market Garden was an unsuccessful allied attack on the Germans in WW2. it was fought in the Netherlands, the Americans sent in their paratroopers in hopes of forcing their way into Germany but got pushed back. i know its a bit of an oxymoron putting that name on a German troop but shush haha. 
he has stick grenades on his belt there, they're a German style grenade, also known as a potato masher. he's wearing a military medal based on the Iron Cross. i was considering giving him a Nazi arm band for another nice pop of red but i decided it may be in bad taste? if the buyer is fine with it im more than happy to add it in haha. its the same reason he didnt have the swastika as a cutie mark, but i actually like the eagle better XD

#5 Static Vox // Radio Operator
Vox is the Latin word for voice and is a certain type of telecommunications tech. there's not really much to say about this to be honest, i had and idea and went with it, there didn't have any particular country or uniform base, other than the hat which i flogged from the paratroopers again. and whats with that red star? is it air force? or communist Russia? that's all up to you.

#6 Cable Runner // inspired by Enemy At the Gates
in some war time environments its essential to run cables from place to place in order to attach power and communications to a base, even to lay out a fuse for a demolition. often these cables have to be run through sniper infested territories. this takes a fast brave volunteer to lay down the cables and fix/replace them when they're broken.
though he's based on enemy at the gates the uniform and colours don't have a country theme. the helmet design is based off my Australian WW2 helmet but a few armies used similar designs. the country theme is all up to you.
now i couldn't think of a cutie mark for it so you get to request one when you buy the pony :3


AUCTION
BID ON MY COMMENTS (that i forgot to write 'bid here' on)

end on the 31 August. and whatever time of the day i can be bothered ending it


#1 - Lancaster // Air force // British


#2 Outrider // Scout // American


#3 Anzac Dawn // WW1 Medic // Australian 


#4 Market Garden // WW2 Battle // German


#5 Static Vox // Radio Operator 


#6 Cable Runner // inspired by Enemy At the Gates 


RULES:
my main rule is only bid if you have the money/points.
im willing to hold a pony thats been won for up to a week if you KNOW you'll have the money/points by them

i MAY accept art/crafts, depending on your quality of art and such. im somewhat picky though, especially with crafts.

then of course, no stealing, no arguing, no trying to guilt trip someone into dropping out of the bidding.

you may add/remove accessories if you like (though with this batch id rather you didn't)

you may also chance the sex

some markings and main/tail can be changed a little. but not much. adding freckles and stuff like that is fine. also letting them grow out/cut/put up/let down the main/tail is okay as long as its the same style/colours as it was before

dont complain, im giving you a lot of freedom with them so shush

i dont mind that you traced the mane and tail, it can be irritating to try to get it right sometimes, just try to develop your own way of drawing it eventually

It honestly was only to prove a point with the design for that other person. Its not a habit i get into with drawing. I do have my own way of drawing his mane And i prefer it much better than tracing.

Why are only some wearing tunics and none wearing pants?

Vicker-Makes-Stuff In reply to cowboyjt [2017-07-23 03:03:12 +0000 UTC]

because ponies look silly with pants in my opinion. this is how i cloth most ponies, the most they have are leg warmers, spats or skirts that are open underneath

Uniforms are made to, as the name suggests, show uniformity and selflessness.
Individuality is not conducive to the military environment.

As we have seen in the show, the cutie mark is the pinnacle ones individuality.
Thus by the logistics above, should be covered.

Also, are you saying Louis looks silly?➡

I have my poinion and you have yours. We arnt going to agree so theres no point in arguing, one of us will just end up shitty with the other

cowboyjt In reply to Vicker-Makes-Stuff [2017-07-25 00:45:42 +0000 UTC]

I agree.


One more thing:
Is it alright with you if I re-adopt these from their current owners?
None of them seem to be using them, but I most certainly could.

I won't give them more points than they gave you, just for fairness sake.

Vicker-Makes-Stuff In reply to cowboyjt [2017-07-25 04:57:40 +0000 UTC]

but i do customs designs too, if you're interested we can talk about a price. but i'll tell you now, it wont have pants

cowboyjt In reply to Vicker-Makes-Stuff [2017-07-25 20:17:10 +0000 UTC]

Thank you for the offer, by I politely decline.

I've looked through their galleries a few times again and I still can't fine these characters.
Cinnamon-Scroll is the only one I can find who posted about it, but she only used the colour scheme.
Backstory, Cutie Mark, Nationality, Accessories, Name, and Race have all been changed.

If she let's me have Market Garden, she can keep Sheilded-Vision, as the two have almost nothing in common.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Vicker-Makes-Stuff In reply to cowboyjt [2017-07-26 05:08:56 +0000 UTC]

she can do whatever she likes with the character she bought from me. i gave her permission to do anything she likes with it and that means making any changes she pleases. 

i dont like people re-buying my adopts, especially if the original buyer has showed no interest in selling it before this. please dont message them about it. 

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

cowboyjt In reply to Vicker-Makes-Stuff [2017-07-26 20:22:30 +0000 UTC]

I fail to see what the problem is.
She bought an adopt from you for $6.00 (480p).
She made a new design with it, a pony named Shielded Vision.
I like and want the old design she did not, nor will ever, use.
I pay her 480p ($6.00) and she gives me the rights to the old design, yet she keeps Shielded Vision.
If you feel it needed, I will also pay you as you wish.

Seems like a win-win to you, you two essentially get free money and I get an adopt I want.
Do you see a flaw in that, please?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Vicker-Makes-Stuff In reply to cowboyjt [2017-07-27 07:17:16 +0000 UTC]

$6 is 600 points for a start. and i said no. if you want one of my aadopts you either buy one from me or go put the effort into making your own. i told you before i dont like people reselling my adopts, especially not people going around asking my customers to sell them their ponies.

so again, the answer is no

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

cowboyjt In reply to Vicker-Makes-Stuff [2017-07-27 21:11:22 +0000 UTC]

I was using the Australian dollar. My mistake.
As you can see by the 54 characters I have drawn and posted (There are more I'm still working on), I do put effort into making my own.
I am sorry I went to her first without asking. The rules listed nothing about reselling, thus I thought it would be alright with you.
My apologies

Again, I fail to see what is wrong with this transaction.
I pay her the 6 dollars she spent on a design she won't use, I am given said old design and she keeps the one she made, I pay you any amount you wish.

What is wrong this that? Is it me? Do I have to do something to prove myself? I'm open for anything you may ask of me, if that is the case.

Vicker-Makes-Stuff In reply to cowboyjt [2017-08-02 02:01:53 +0000 UTC]

The problem is, it would end up being the same pony with different hair and cutie mark. It would just be a copy. I have nothing against you, i wouldnt have offered to make you a custom of i did, but i wont have someone reselling my adopts and still use a different version of it. It doesny sit well woth me. As i said, i can do you a custom or you can make one yourself, bit i dont want you to buy that one off of her.

Granted im not happy you went to her without asking

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

cowboyjt In reply to Vicker-Makes-Stuff [2017-08-02 19:21:50 +0000 UTC]

All that would be the same is the colour scheme, she has changed everything else. I will be using the design seen here.
Again, I will give you any amount you ask for. I could draw my version of him, but that would be cheating the both of you.

Again, my apologies. It was my fault for assuming.

Vicker-Makes-Stuff In reply to cowboyjt [2017-08-03 23:36:23 +0000 UTC]

cowboyjt In reply to Vicker-Makes-Stuff [2017-08-03 23:45:44 +0000 UTC]

I fail to see what you are to lose by this transaction.
The both of you get compensation, in any amount you see fit, and I get a new character that will be used.
The only thing you will gain by not taking it is my unhappiness and a character that shall never be used.
If that is what you wish, then so be it.

Good day, Sir.
