Ponerpics Community Collaboration 2024

Deadline: July 7th August 31st November 30th

Tag: ponerpics community collab 2024

Hello again, I was thinking we could try and do another Community Collab this year. I know now probably isn't the optimal time to do it, with the Antithology and /mlp/con coming up, but I thought it'd be a good idea to have the collab done for July 7th as (I think) that's when the site first went live — 4 years ago. I plan to do a summertime field background for this one, so you might want to keep that in mind when creating your submission. Don't be afraid to have them in more dynamic poses such as flying, and maybe even swimming because I could try and add a lake or something to the foreground. I did consider changing the rules to allow show characters but frankly I prefer OC only. However, ultimately the rules can change if enough people disagree with them, so please discuss rules in the replies of this thread. Perhaps we could do show characters for a Hearth's Warming collab?

Rules:
Picture cannot contain multiple characters, unless the submission is itself a collaborative picture between multiple artists, in that case there can be one character per artist.
Submission must be of an OC, and not a character from the show.
Submission must be a quadrupedal show species, or near-pony original species.
Submission must be original to the collab, no recycling old work.
Submission must be safe or suggestive, not explicit.
No low effort art but beginner art is allowed (and encouraged!).
No anthro/humanized art.

Submission should have a transparent background, if you are unable to do so, then it must have a blank background with a clean outline around the character.
Submission should be colored, if for some reason you are unable to color your picture, PM me or leave a comment in this thread and we'll see if we can fix it.
You should not post your submission anonymously, as this will make it easier to verify it's legit, and make it easier to give you your badge (if you want it), but I'm not going to adamantly enforce this rule.

Disclaimers:
If you do not add the collab tag, or at least link your submission in this thread, then it obviously won't be included.
If you would like, you may post multiple drawings for the collab under your artist tag, but only one will be selected for the final picture.
Submissions uploaded the day before, or the day of, the deadline may not make it into the final picture.
Art may be also be rejected if: the image has been drawn as to take up an excessive amount of space; the image contains "SFW" fetish material; or the image is contentious political activism.
Submissions suspected to be trolling, shitposts, or spam will not be included.

If you have any questions you are hesitant to ask publicly, or you'd like to check your submission is okay via an external link (i.e. catbox/litterbox), then feel free to PM though my profile page.

I might participate if this gains traction. I was going to ask if you had a theme in mind for this year.

a Hearth's Warming collab?


Hearth's Warming? In July?

I also had things going on and couldn't get a commission going until it was too late.

If the deadline was extended by another month or two, I might be able to participate. Otherwise I'll have to sit this one out.

I didn't even notice this thread until today or I would have tried to submit something, didn't the first collab happen in November or something oco?

I sympathize with what you’re going through.

I’m trying to help organize the Ponybooru community collab and people insisted that my proposed two month submission window isn’t long enough. There’s talk among the team of pushing it all the way out to November.

But I think your main problem is that you have no advertising beyond this thread. Over on PB we were able to get one of the mods to put up a site banner and I’ve been promoting it in the Discord server (I don’t know if PonerPics has one, but if it did it would be a great tool for promotion)

The deadline is extended until August 31st, let me know if you plan to submit so I can keep track of who's participating. I can extend the deadline even further if necessary, I'm already aware of about 3 submissions that will be uploaded soon.


@Hazaplan

Last year's collab was supposed to happen earlier in the year but some drama occurred and I ended up picking it up later on.


@Twiface

We did have a banaer last year, I guess I'll try asking Megalith about it.

With an August deadline, I will probably be able to make it if I can find an artist and submit a commission soon. I'll consider it.

I henceforth declare it against the spirit of the rules, the entire point is that it is a site artist contributing to a site event as a "hey we choose to use this place". paying someone to do it for you at the moment isnt technically against the rules.

but it clearly goes against the entire point of the event in the first place
