MLP Design Contest Voting Now Open!!

Howdy do, friends o' mine...I've got two entries in WeLoveFine's third My Little Pony T-Shirt Design Contest. If you could please take a few seconds to register a simple account on the site and rate 'em for me, I'll send you a slice of the cake I'm baking tomorrow, plus some chocolate-dipped marshmallow Peeps! Or at least, I'll be extremely, stupendously super-grateful. 8D Rules are: "For every 100 new ratings after the first 100,000 ratings, the dollar value of the grand prize will go up $1. With enough rates, the prize could reach a maximum of $2,500 cash!"

So, if you're bored and give half a darn about ponies, you could rate the other designs as well to really help the prize money climb... =)

Also...new TNG ponifications, v.2.0, using the Hub's PonyMaker! +D

Mind you, my entries are simply concepts; they were the best I could do, especially in the small amount of time I had to create anything at all to enter. If they were to receive any attention from the judges at all, or there were a desire to create Star Trek/My Little Pony crossover designs (which ought to exist already!), I would make further suggestions for such things and allow these basic concepts to be developed into print-worthy art.

The most amazing and perfect design of all would be one that groups the magnificent mane seven (or nine, in Voyager's case) "ponies" of each of the five series--arranging these groups in the manner of the symbols on a "five" playing card (each above their logo), as well as incorporating the other elements of DisQord and the "Borg herd," surrounding them all. There can be more ponified Trek characters, objects, and whatnot as well (including the things that are already obvious connections--Parasprites, Changelings, etc.)

And here ARE me entries! (WeLoveFine.com's My Little Pony design contest)

"Resistance is Futile":

With ugly spray paint "backdrop": 

Without the spray paint (and before I added the Elements of Intergalactic/Universal Harmony...actually, I submitted it before inserting those anyway. :/ Also had to use this plain white one because the additional paint made the file too large):

I'm obviously not that much of an artist with or without a computer, but as I knew that something more simply HAD to be done with the pony/Trek crossover, I just sketched a very, very basic concept to try and get the idea across.

Here it is in the contest gallery!
...and on DeviantArt, with more description.

"My Little Star Trek: The Next Generation is Magic"*:

And here are the magnificent mane seven, engaged in one of the infamous Poker games that take place aboard the starship USS Canterprise. Ponies Playing Poker--the next series of paintings to become classics! :D

Here 'tis in the contest gallery!
...and on DeviantArt, with more description.

Whoops...forgot to add Spot's whiskers 'til after I'd already submitted. Oh, well. :P Should hardly make a difference one way or the other.

*Also known, as AK71 says, as "The Next Ge-neigh-ration!" ;-)

Oh yeah. and: Earlier Pony Creator-generated rendition of them

Idea for next My Little Pony Fan Design Contest at Mighty Fine

BACKGROUND, TOP LEVEL: Discord dressed as Q (costume from the Farpoint Encounter), with claws gripping the rising saucer of the starship "Canterprise"......sittin' up there like he's all that--the chaotic, omnipotent shit

BACKGROUND, MID-LEVEL: Shadowy images of Borg-ponies, with floating text reading: "Join the herd. Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated."

FOREGROUND: Lineup of the mane seven, ponified (Picard, Data, and Worf are earth ponies, Riker and Crusher are Pegasi, and Troi and Geordi are unicorns.) Beneath them is a mash-up of the logos for the two cross-overed shows: "My Little Star Trek: The Next Generation is Magic."

Now, if I could only DRAW...!!!! DX

And just who is the Borg Queen of Equestria? Why, Lauren Faust, of course. ;)
...I kid, I kid.

Alternatively, if this design is too difficult or too complicated and "busy," there could be a scene involving the mane seven playing Poker. :3 Always a good way to showcase a group of friends and their individual personalities.

The most amazing and perfect design of all would be one that groups the mane seven (or nine, in Voyager's case) 'ponies' of each of the five series--arranging these groups in the manner of the symbols on a "five" playing card (each above their logo), as well as incorporating the other elements of DisQord and the "Borg herd," surrounding them all.
Oh, who in all this world is so amazing as to be able to make my life by manifesting such an image?

Fourthly, I'd love to see them as dogs. 
YUP.
 ...Not that it has anything to do with any contest...

P.S. STEVE BUSCEMI<3, Jeff Bridges, & John Goodman ponies HAVE WON ME. It is now absolutely necessary that the Kill Bill cast be ponified. 
Kill Filly. Yes. Yes, indeed.

And blah, blah, blog...oh, yes. Unfortunately, I cannot upload two of my college projects from last spring, because neither I nor the professor has a copy of them. :( At my request, he sent me the discs he had of mine from that course, but they were all things that I already have on YouTube. So, my edit of the airplane scene in The Day After Tomorrow (matching audio to the video) and the 30-second Las Vegas ad spot created by my partner and me (by selecting among dozens of clips, editing, choosing and adding music, and recording voice-overs) cannot be shared. 

Additionally, the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic review remains unwatchable except on specific Apple computers on the university's campus. This I may never understand. The good news is that I saved the video file on a CD; the bad news is that I don't believe we will ever find another machine to play it. It's a shame, because I was rather pleased with the way that came out, editing and all. At least the entire review is readable.

I also wish that I still had my PowerPoint projects about the Swedish film industry and Persona, Celine Dion's biography (and the paper comparing & contrasting her with Barbra Streisand), the trailer my group made in Production Foundations, my Animation I final that was a twist on a nursery rhyme ("Hush Little Baby"), my large paranormal research project for the Union County Honors Seminar course, my mini-magazine for Mass Media, etc., etc. Thankfully I have kept loads of papers, projects, and other forms of writing and work from elementary, middle, and high school, as well as college & University. I've also, of course, got my yearbook articles, evidence of having been involved in high school plays (including acting in one), and so on. While some very desirable things have been lost, I retain VERY much of my schoolwork, whether in digital or hard copy form. =]

Technical Difficulties...

My review video has not translated from the school's computer, which played it just fine, to my own (which will not open it at all) or to YouTube (which uploaded it like this--basically, not at all.) Will see what can be done to fix this....


9/1/11 update: Same problems--still will not upload properly, or play on any computer aside from certain Macs on campus. It’s very baffling, and disappointing. ={ I may as well leave my useless "help request" videos up on YouTube...
