Baby ponies! A Falling Stars contest!
(already updated)Falling Stars (later in the text referred to as "FS"), characters and story, gets so much love, attention and kindness!
Is it now on a level where "there is so much love in the room, it creates another person"?
What to do? Design a baby pony between any possible FS combination!
You can use either:
FS + FS character
or FS characer + your own design/character
To be able to win all the prizes I need your permission to use your character in the next adventure. (see more below).
or just a clever 'from-a-single-parent" baby, like the first line of MLP toys. (I don't remember how the baby ponies reflected the parent in the following generations).
Preferred if both mom, dad and baby are visible in the picture so we can see what a delightful mix the baby is. (It's ok if you feel like doing mom + mom + baby or dad + dad + baby - if that for some reason fits your mind better).
Symbol on the baby is required to win!
A description with your thoughts on how you choose your design is not required but can raise your odds to win (just saying, since Solkatt often fall for good descriptions).
Add: It is expected the art is done by you and that you do not use pony-creators and bases or other art that is not yours.
Prizes? Of course there will be prizes!
The baby/babies with the winning designs will be included in their next adventure! (Which is planned to be more like a picture book, not a comic). Credits will be given. If you want to participate in the contest but do not want your characters included in the story (especially if mom or dad is your own creation and not a FS character), just tell, it's ok. You can still win the other prizes.
A (quality) picture of the winning family will be drawn by Solkatt and if wanted a file with a copy will be sent to the winner! Credits for the design will be given. Picture will be in a style similar to the picture of Sail Away and surfing Days:
One extra feature on one of the comic uploads (in description, I feature all fanarts there so it will happen to all entries) and in journal.
offers "an icon and full picture with all the perks (Shading/BG) for the winner(s)."
Prize donations are welcome
Please consider being able to donate the same kind of prize to all winners, if many. Since there won't be any first, second or third. "Just" three equal winners.
Do ask if you wonder about something

Krockard -to be honest I'm not sure how it would work story wise, but hey, he is like 25% pony so no discrimination XD
Not listed: Count the Stars - too young. Sonja - too young and not a pony. Dome - not a pony. Burning Beauty - not really a pony.
Add: You may use any of the "not listed" if you really want to! Just be aware that the story-prize part most likely will not happen. (As an example: I won't make Count the Stars an adult in the next story).
