Week 131 Wrap Up

With Hearth's Warming Eve behind us, I hope everypony had a safe and happy holiday going into the brand new year!  May it be one full of Love, Light, and Artistic Inspiration.

And with the bells ringing in the new year, the ponies who serve the most valiant of causes all raise a hoof, shouting as one "For The Light!"  From noble Paladins of the highest order, coming to bring the judgement of their faith down upon the wicked, or the sheperds of the flock who selflessly work to heal those in need.  Warrior Monks, Disciplined Priests, White Mages, Battle Clerics or Jedi Knights, all answer the call of Light and the divine.

And so have you answered this call too.  Not to do battle, but to raise your pens, pencils, and digital stylus' to arms, and to capture these ponies who selflessly serve not for themselves, but for all.  Hail the Sun goddess.  Glory to the Light.  And May the Force be with you!

Look towards the Light, for its shine will only blind those of impure heart.  Bask in its radiance, and let it fill you with courage of heart, strength of spirit, and expansion of mind.  And fear not the dark, or the creatures that dwell within.

Let the ponies who stand against those of ill intent guide you, and view them below, portrayed in epic art worthy of their stature as heroes of the realms:

Week 130 Wrap Up

Evenin', everypony!  Gather 'round, gather 'round!  It's time once again for Old Man Lunar's Mad Ramblin's and Other Nonsensical Stories and General Stream of Consciousness Writing!

Otherwise known as the wrap up.  BUT WHATEVER.

Soooo... aliens, huh?  You know, as a kid, I was actually quite obsessed with UFOs and aliens and all that jazz.  Knew all about the different grades of Close Encounters, knew of the major sightings, all the supposed kinds of aliens that people claimed they'd seen.

I don't even know that I really believed any of it - but, as the X-Files tagline goes, I want to believe, I think!  It's nicer to believe that we're not alone in this vast universe of ours, that there are other intelligent species out there!

...Even if they are just coming here to mess with drunk rednecks and dismember some cows.

(What's funny is that most people take this as proof that they don't exist.  After all, what intelligent being would come all the way across the cosmos to do that kind of stuff?  But admit it; that is exactly the kind of thing we'd do if we could.  The intellectual community likes to pretend that we wouldn't, that Mankind is nobler than that, and so advanced aliens would be even more so.  But I think we all know better).

So, next time you look up at the starry night, keep an open mind and an eye out - maybe they're out there to see!  And until then... let's look at some ponies and aliens, shall we?

Week 129 Wrap Up

Greetings, everypony, and welcome to the wrap up!

Tonight, our theme was quite the literary one, and one that I'm fond of!  See, book fan-art has always had a special place for me.  Because all there is to go on is the description of the author and your own ability to imagine what they're describing, you can end up with so many incredibly different interpretations of a character or setting or scene!  And here's the great thing - all of them are technically correct.

It's true!  Maybe what you've imagined and drawn is different from what the author had in mind.  Maybe yours is different from what some big-name illustrator or designer came up with for the same book.  No matter!  If you're drawing from what you imagined while reading that book, you can't really be wrong!  After all, there is no visual canon for most books.  If the author wanted you to imagine it exactly as they did, they're in the wrong line of work.  There's so much ambiguity in the written word; so many nuances and shades of meaning that may be interpreted differently or lost.  And an author that spends time describing everything so exactly is going to be boring to read.  So, like it or not, your own imagination is what rules the day when it comes to books!

Which is where seeing those interpretations getting filtered through yet another lens of the imagination - that of what you imagine in the book to what it might look like ponified - is really interesting!  So let's see what you've all managed to come up with this week after your literary pony double-filtration!

Week 128 Wrap Up

The Moon.

Sad excuse for a sunrise. 
It's so cold out here.
Ice and silence and dark skies. 
As we go round another year.
 Let them think what they like, we're fine. 
I will always be right here next to you.

What dwells within the dark of perpetual night?  A terrifying and silent sea of nothingness, the woes of tidal locking ensuring that the moon's perpetual gaze is ever upon us.  Did Princess Celestia do this so that Nightmare Moon would ever be able to look down in envy and rue her crimes?  Or was it an act of sorrow, so that Celestia would always be able to look upon her dear sister and remember what she has lost?

Whatever the reason, the Dark side of the moon was never to look upon this sphere again. Eternally locked to watch out into the stars, and see the universe go by, everything save the small blue planet it was destined to share the sky with.  And whatever lies within that world cursed and yet blessed with the horror and beauty of an eternal night sky yet remains, unexplored, unseen, and unknown... until now!

You intrepid artists have braved the cold and the darkness to reveal to us just what exists out there, dwelling, waiting.  Whether to focus upon the The Princess of the Night, the Sciences of Space, or maybe Fetchbeer just slipped another pun for butts in as the theme... err... Wait a minute... hmm.  Well then.  I guess we know where this one falls.  So I suppose all that's left to do is turn the other cheek, and say:

"That's no Moon... it's the Weekly Wrap up..."

Week 127 Wrap Up

Well, it seems that another week has come and gone, which means it's time once again for a Weekly Wrap Up.  This week, we've got some absolutely brilliant images of medical ponies to show off.

Whether you're injured, sick, or just looking for a dock tour, there's somepony out there ready to help out.  These are ponies that truly care about the needs of others, and show it every time they're on the job.  And of course, we've also got a couple of Doctors here who frequently assist others in a more, shall I say, timely manner?

But I digress.  I think it's time to end this little soliloquy because, well... I'm a doctor, not a monologist. So, let's take a look at this week's creations.  Come on now, allons-y!
