My Little Brony!

I made a Brony (that’s a male My Little Pony). Isn’t he cute?

I want one!

The glasses totally make the whole thing work. Sorry for the inexpert cropping, it’s hard to crop things evenly when you have wonky vision like me.

I overcame my usual tendency to pick eye-gouging color schemes by just sliding the color sliders around randomly and stopping at the first one that looked good to me.

I think he’s completely adorable, and I think I will name him Chris. Or Steven. Or maybe Lyle… oh, I don’t know. He’s just too cute to name!

Anyone have any ideas?

Oh, and I used this here program to make him. (Other stuff on that site is extremely naughty, so I wouldn’t click around too much unless you are a total pervert like me. )

I just love the modern era of image generators. I could never draw Steven (he looks like one, doesn’t he? kinda?) but with that awesome Flash program, I can still create him.

That is just so damn cool!

In my mind, he’s a real smooth charmer with a melodious deep voice and loads of charisma, but an unfortunate tendency to talk himself into trouble that he then has to talk himself out of, often with the reluctant help of his long-suffering friends.

Picture his best friend staring at him slackjawed and aghast, with a thought bubble reading “WHAT DID HE JUST SAY?” above his head while Steven (I guess that’s his name now) smooth talks some pretty pony, as represented by a speech bubble with a musical staff on it, but all the notes have things like candy, kittens, rainbows, and so on for the “dots”.

Steven has a good heart, and sincerely never intends to cause trouble or get in over his head. He just has a tendency to fall in love with the sound of his own voice (usually, at the same time his audience does) and just let the golden words flow without stopping to think about what he is saying until it’s too late.

And his friends complain, but they put up with him because he’s a really good guy and, though they’d never admit it to anyone, they kind of enjoy the adventures he inadvertently drags them into.

He sounds like fun, doesn’t he?
