A Bit of Art

[Kiernan]

A friend of mine from high school a pony artist, and he owes me some money Since he can't pay with money, I told him that we could balance it out by having him do a few commission artwork pieces at his regular price, and he agreed. So, I thought I would ask you all what scenes you would like to see from Eventide.

So if there is a scene you would like to have depicted, let me know here, and once I have permission for him to draw the characters, I will let him know.

When submitting a scene, please also post the name of the thread where it is located so we can know who is where, the time of day, and a few other things. Also, I would need permission from everypony involved in the scene in order to do it right. For example:

I would like you to do a picture of Kai, Usu, Geoff and Sil sitting at a dinner table eating nachos. The thread that this takes place in is "A Game at Dinner," in the Farin district. I give permission for you to use my characters.

This came from me, of course. Now, armed only with this, if I had my friend draw the scene with the four of them, we would be violating the the copyright of Eloc and Lue, because I don't have their permission to do that (which is why I have yet to submit this to him). If I wanted to do it legally, and I submitted this to him, it would only be Usu and Kai sitting at the table, talking to the air where Geoff and Sil would be. So all permissions need to be posted in order to do a piece of artwork. I look forward to seeing what you all come up with.

P.S. The scene in the quote is the first thing I wanted to do, so I'm going to ask the owners of the other two characters via PM immediately after this post.

You can use Sil anytime if you'd like to, and I do have a suggestion for a piece.

Eclipse standing over Kailani, in the old castle in the Elder, with the white lightning crackling at her horn. This is in the "An Audience With The Queen" thread in the Elder Forest district.

[Kiernan]

For that, I would need permission from at least Nightbow, since she plays the two characters depicted in the scene, as well as one in the background. Possibly also from Becka, if you want Kail in there, too.

Also, you don't need to put the request in a quote, I was simply quoting myself.

[Becka]

Like you need my permission to make Kail art. I love Kail art ^_^

[Nightbow]

You are allowed to use any of my characters. ^^

I'd love to see a group picture of all of our "main" characters, but they haven't had a thread together yet, heh. Unless we put them in a "future" Sun Celebration scene.

[Person]

Sorry for my apparent ignorance, but who exactly are the "Main" characters? The Mane 6? or like Kail, Whisp, and Kai?

[Nightbow]

Yeah, I meant like Whisp for me and Sil for you. ^-^

[Person]

Oh! that makes sense, I was just thinking about it a different way. Yeah, I agree, that would be cool! but you're right in saying that they'd have to be in a future setting, or we should get to the party before he's done with the other ones.

Hmm... Parties... Cake... Lies...

[Kiernan]

Okay, I got the bulldogs playing poker approved, as well as Chancellor Palpetine torturing Luke while Vader watches in horror. But I'm holding off on the Apple Family reunion picture until I have a head count of who is going to be in it. Since It's a scene of the Summer Sun Celebration, I'd like everypony involved to be on Good terms, so Eclipse can't be standing next to Kail, so on, so forth. I would like to see both Kai and Usu in there, considering that's the last time they will ever agree on anything until the end of the story, because of the fight they're going to have right after the party.

If you tell me exactly who will be in the shot, I'll see what I can do.

Smiles, everypony!!

Pinkie, you can play with my keyboard later. I'm working right now... Hallucinations. Gotta love 'em...

[Becka]

Kail will definitely be there, and Roo will be there (although I don't know if they'll have met yet). I'd be willing to bet Hy will be there too, since she likes a good party.

Fennec will be as far away from the bright lights as he can get.

The Mane Six will be there, even if no one's playing them.

Nightbow - what about the princesses?

[Kiernan]

We can enforce a meeting. Kail and Roo can meet anywhere between the library and the party. Plenty of time for Kail to think Roo is Razz, realize it's not, and have Roo explain exactly how much time has passed, if he knows. It will be beautiful.

I've actually been considering picking up Twily, mostly because of the unfinished Library scene. No offence meant to Spitfire, of course...

[Nightbow]

The only ponies on Eclipse's side by the time of the arty should be the Queen herself, Knight Shade and possibly Lily Lightly and Fennec (though I imagine they won't know about her or join her until after the party). So in order to have a friendly scene, I'd say exclude the "evil" side because the characters on it are currently exclusively mine anyway.

I guess Celestia and Luna will attend. Hadn't thought of it before now, but it makes most sense for them to come to troubled Whinnyapolis for the belated Sun Celebration.

[Becka]

Yay! I've been missing playing Luna <3 Glad I get to play her at the party.

Kiernan - I'm sure Spitfire won't mind if you take over Twilight, and I'd love to finish the scene in the library. If someone doesn't take her over before the party then I'll just close that thread completely.

I can't wait for Roo and Kail to meet. It's going to be awesome.

EDIT: I wrote the scene already ^_^ I couldn't help myself. I'm just going to spend the rest of the day pre-writing as many Kail/Roo scenes as I can.

[Person]

Sil will be there, abeit I don't remember how long we planned his stay. Long enough to meet some people and maybe a princess. I think he'd like that, and I'm looking forward to seeing how they're played. One of the first things I did on eventide was get invited to the celebration, after all. Can't let that slide too easily.

[Spitfire]

No, I don't mind at all. It'll be good to see a more active Twilight around ^^"

More on topic, Spitfire will most likely be at the celebration too, though I'd imagine more on patrol to ensure security than to actually enjoy the party.
