Alternately, I suppose you could just show us what images you've used as your desxtop's wallpaper image.

Or we could go the funny-gif route but those can be pretty easily converted to .webm with FFmpeg, and shared in the video thread.

I seem to have a few angry equine pictures.
Here's Chryssy, as you might see her in the wilderness.
Or Flufflepuff's coat. You might find her there, too.

Here's a few for those who turn their monitor sideways.
I'd also post "never forget, and never understand" but ... the feels in that one are heavy. Luna dates, falls in love with Pipsqueak, who grows old and dies.
Yeah, that's a sideways monitor sized comic.

>What images haunt you
Well, for that question, I have to say finding random images I downloaded and have little memory of what I was doing. These five I found in a old USB with a mix of random webpages and other junk. I think back and the only one I can recall was the Twilight one which I used for a edit test of somesort, but the others, don't know. As small as it is, it is kind of haunting to me.

This is something that deserves the "unshorn fetlocks" tag.

Also since it was lost elsewhere, I recall being informed that Floorboard is bestpone.

Luna doing things and being a bit of a pest.

>>8064
I assume you are saying that the Big Mac picture is retarded also or because of being tagged with "unshorn fetlocks"?

>>8112
>I assume
I took the comment in context, to mean that in no wise could Big Mac, in that image, be described as having "unshorn fetlocks" as they look neatly under control

Here I'd like to diverge into a new favorite tag, 'ungulade anthro' and would have more than two images of it but Twi has undone her booru, although as you see here she's currently trying to get it back online.

Felt like posting some bridges today. No other shared context or quality exists between these pictures.

Felt like posting some gifs I found when going through old stuff of mine. just a bunch of walk cycles of varying degrees (but overall) decent quality.

bumping this thread with another look at unguligrade anthro.
I came across this first image today, and was stopped by the beauty that SFM (or blender), with enough effort at lighting control and a few extras, can provide.

I'd been testing my install / .ckpt's of stable-diffusion, to see if it understood some of the artist names you'd find on derpi, or e621, or what have you. I remembered liking Yakovlev-vad, but couldn't be assured I was remembering his style aright.

And found Fluttershy, quietly strumming her guitar for her woodland friends. Not SFM, but have the, I believe, Dark City nightclub-scene inspired SFM piece. Followed by Twiley again with the music, this time with Glim-Glam keeping the beat in the background. Bacon Hair on Bass. Flutts back to strumming quietly for friends.

And then there's the edited piece. Well, actually they've all been edited, mostly for size, but I had to add a thong bikini for Busty Belle ... and her old-timey phone. Lastly, another piece seemingly carved from wood, this time Background Horse doing the strumming.

Good. Has a natural looking body that works well enough. Nice style, as you say.

> DarkCity-ins.jpg)
Is this what you were talking about with lighting? This one is a good one and seems to demonstrate that. SFM anthros usually suck but she is actually looks good. Above not hideous tier. I actually like it.

>BaconHair_GlimGlam_YellowQuietBeingLoud_TwigglesOnMic.png
A little uncanny valley. Lighting isn't terrible but they do have a bit more of a stick figure plastic look.

These selection of images I'll admit feels like a whiplash of tone and a bit random despite it all being anthro.

Well, with that note, to further add to the discordance of this thread have Misty!

Are any of these yours? Regardless, remember what L23 said here:

>PENCIL DRAWINGS ARE UNDERRATED
There's this whole "vibe" to all traditional art. You can feel a person made this; this is the work of human hands. Head-canon, hopes & dreams, so much shows through in these kinds of images.

>>8751
I completely agree. Even mid lower quality pencil drawings beat similar tired quality levels digital and 3D models.*

*I think 3D models are overly mainlined though. There is a larger base of lower quality but it can still be good, even great, with skill.

I couldn't agree more. Unfortunately have non on hoof at the moment so in the spirit of IMAGE DUMP and: >>8738
>Well, with that note, to further add to the discordance of this thread
have some random deviart images.

newly encountered favorite tag:
Adoracreepy.

Gameloft, sucky mobile game that it is, certainly has brought some interesting stuff in this post FiM era.

>>8766
>Adoracreepy
Critter-Filly-AJ is the essence of why that tag was invented.

I want to keep this thread going, so, first five images I saw uploaded to Twibooru today.

>>9536
> so, first five
I'd like to think we could be a little more directed.

Let's have a discussion about the important services pony-artists provide. Although we're not so sure what services Pinky can provide.
Artificial Intelligence is ... another story entirely.
So, have three computer generated attempts to compare to one person. I guess.

>>9551
Plus a few more. From the cute to something that will cut you, plus AI getting bedroom eyes wrong.

>>9551
Misread this as,
>Let's have a discussion about the important services ponies provide.
So have a bunch of carts.Because ponies pull things and can still be a decent pack animal. Well, one is Equestira Girls Rainbow Dash pushing Twi for some odd reason.

>>9551
Now for your actual question:
>Let's have a discussion about the important services pony-artists provide.
Realize things that are otherwise impossible and put our collective imaginations to reality? Or at least, used too...

>Artificial Intelligence is ... another story entirely.
It may replace them in that roll. Many cheer on AI to wipe them out. I understand the sentiment, from idiot tweens and teens and adults with a very childish view of copyrights and OC Donut Steal to the more mature left leaning suffocation of the twitter crowd, I get it. Though that isn't all artist and...

>So, have three computer generated attempts to compare to one person. I guess.
With AI art, still something about it sometimes just feels off, it's getting better now, but I do wonder: if AI becomes inseparable from artist, I am not just talking about replacing entirely is there something lost in the art?

Shit man, that Celestia is going to give me nightmare fuel.

>>9551
>UnshortFetlocks-KnittedFace
I like this one.

>Lyra
Looks a little too masculine but not bad

>Celestia
you already know

>>9553
>Lyra... again
Always cute. Regardless of context... well mostly.

>Failed bedroom eyes
Looks sort of mad.

>Horror pone
Scarrier than big lipped Celestia.

Didn't the old BO here like Lyra a lot?

>>9560
AI and artist. I share some of those concerns. It is a bit of a rock and a hard place though as any attempt to control AI will only disempower us regular joes but not stop its advancement. I don't 100% fear AI and do think some good could come I should note.

>>9571
Don't take me wrong, I agree with those concerns as well. The artist class are stupid to suddenly want harsh copyright enforcement when their entire careers were build on the internet causing copyright to be relaxed de-facto. Just, even if I love some of AI's results, I don't want us to become dependent or lose a certain human element.

Wind Waker, never played it. Have memories of others doing so. Art style and emulations of it have a mix of charm and slight ugliness but I think I overall like it. This is all from an artist called dajapony (I think).

>>9673
It reminds me a bit of where flimflamfilosphy/Greg was going in the direction of his ponies before he gave up. At least the look in his Nepotism Adventures series. I have a weird relationship with Greg in that I disliked most of his artistic output didn't hate, but not my taste and I felt that MAS fans were a bit elitest and the humor and tone was FAR from my tastes. Yet ran into people around him often and is probably the only major artist/creator in this fandom I have ever interacted with. It was interesting watching him struggle with pony as Petirep moved on to other things and copyright prevented him from just using screencaps and redubing so he tried going for it on his own with no artistic experience and just forced himself forward.

More random and vaguely related images.

>>9674
*note, StarInYellow is Petirep.

Ponies playing poker.

>>9673
Ponies look a bit ugly, I like Ember and the parasprites.

>>9674
He actually has expressed the sentiment recently of some desire to return to pony. This wasn't out of nowhere, >>8842

Here is some larger gifs that I thought were cool.
