Quote from: Pa_Hsia, Concept ArtistThe design of the Wonderbolts' HQ was influenced by the airport in Sweet and Elite, HMS Belfast, and the Cutty Sark.
Quote from: Pa_Hsia, Concept ArtistThe design of the top view went through several iterations, but I still struggled to get it to look right: after I drew the front and side views, I realized that the tower small jutting out of the main building was floating six feet from the building!
Quote from: Pa_Hsia, Concept ArtistThe final model is *much* bigger than I planned. Since then, I've been far more careful to think about the scale of the buildings I'm drawing and how they'll fit in the scene.
Quote from: Pa_Hsia, Concept ArtistThis was my first full drawing using ArtRage, which is now my staple art program; the Wonderbolts' HQ was instrumental in helping me figure out the ink pen settings I've used for every piece of CA since.
Quote from: SteveLynx, 3D ModelerSo far all memories I have of modeling that is that I traced some lines of the CA and suddenly the model was done.
Quote from: SteveLynx, 3D ModelerSome evil modeling demon always takes over shortly after starting to model, I can´t control myself nor do I have any memories of whatever happens during that time, I´m pretty sure I´m either cursed or just always really tired during modeling hours.
Quote from: Vector, co-leader of 2D DepartmentFor the most part, every one of these houses has appeared in the show at some point, so I had the blessing of most of my work already being done for me. The hard part of the design was coming up with the half, or in some cases three fourths, of the house that was not shown. That seems easy when a lot of the work has already been done, but in actuality it requires a lot of research as opposed to a house you can create from scratch.
In order to stay consistent with the style of the show I had to study the rules the artists followed while creating ponyville's architecture. The beams especially have a very specific pattern to how they were put together. At key points in the architecture there would usually be an engraving of a stylisticly curved wheat stalk or a flower, and if a window was in a key spot, like the center of the house, it would usually have a flower box or a balcony underneath. Certain rules like these governed how most of that extra two thirds got its look and feel. Whenever there is a building shown in the show, we try to stay as close as possible to the original artists depiction of it. Thus, the reasearch stage.
Quote from: Musetrigger, 2D ArtistI would like to say that while they were easy to make, they were amazing practice, and they happened to be the first true textures I have ever made.

I'm not wild about The Offspring, but I quite like the Rainbow Dash PMV of You're Gonna Go Far Kid.
Sadly, I can't post it because of "naughty words".
These are all cool:Spoiler: show

perfect
I would also like to ask: 1) how often can we expect to be assigned a personal/group task?
2) how much time must we expect to dedicate to the writing team every week/day?
3) is it possible for us to take short breaks where we drop what we do for the writing team temporarily and focus on other proritised tasks
(exams, interviews etc.)?

I noticed that the minimum age for all applicants was not stated, so may I ask what it is?
Quote from: FimFan14 on 2012 Jul 22, 09:17:10
What kind of dedication would be needed if we got in(how many stories, how often, etc.)?

So, just to clarify, can we only submit one example of our work, or could I send in both of the best examples I can think of if I want?
Quote from: ThatCanadianDude on 2012 Jul 21, 20:28:31
I suppose I should have asked this BEFORE I sent the e-mail, but what's the policy on works in progress? Not, say, something that's still in the editing phase, but something that's the first couple chapters of a story that is still underway?
Quote from: Scoots on 2012 Jul 21, 05:10:58
Question; Do you want every chapter posted, or is one chapter acceptable?

I'm only 14. Can i still apply? Writing is my hobbie!!!
Quote from: Giggle Tail on 2012 Jul 20, 16:44:02
YES!!!! I've literally been eagerly waiting for this moment all week
Now lemme just read over the rules and I'll get right to work!
EDIT: This sounds easy enough. I definitely have the determination, and I at least know plenty of people who think I have the skill, so I'm up to the challenge! Would the MLP screenplay I wrote a while back count as something I could submit? Also, are we limited to one sample of our work, or could I send in more than one?
