If we're talking emotes, I made this ages ago.

Sorry about your sleep. Sorry for a lot of things.

Hey I actually did this one a while ago! It doesn't look like it's on the booru:

I know it's been a long time since I've been here, but I seem to remember the site rules including an instaban for any discussion of Yellowstar? I found this confusing then because I had (and still have) very little idea as to what Yellowstar is (a lovecraftian rules pony perhaps?). I guess I'm just wondering how it went from instaban to having an official contest.

*edit: I somehow missed the post on the first page linking to the comics, so I at least know what she's based on now. But I'm still confused about the whole rules thing.

Back around the time when I joined, Yellowstar was all the rage to the point that the admins had to put a lid on it lest it reach catchphrasey heights. At least that's how I understand it.
I don't think we've ever really had a definite ban rule. :pinkieshrug:

Well, first time I've ever drawn a pony. Here you go.

Now to figure out how to upload it to booru

I fixed the link for you!

Hmm, she has no ears, that's a little embarrassing. Well, time for a larger redo on canvas (printer paper sucks with acrylic paint).

(?) · by **logicow** (?) » Tue Jun 12, 2012 7:13 am

I drew a yellowstar!

It's not a pony though. Hope it's still good!

edit: there it's a pony now

An HM slave is the most helpful ponymon. :gotcha:

(?) · by **Boseiju** (?) » Tue Jun 12, 2012 9:50 pm

Here we go. Unfortunately I cannot upload to the booru for another week due to anti spam policy. :pinkieshrug:

Ah well. Gives me more time to doodle and play with the background.

In the epic season finale, Yellowstar remembers she learned Karate as a filly. Skills are utilized to save the day.

(?) · by **ComradeCosmobot** (?) » Thu Jun 14, 2012 12:54 am

Congratulations! Yellowstar has passed Nyx on the booru! This means that everyone who has helped up to now has the right to take the Yellowstar gang tag! Now for the gang tag you guys win!!!

...

!!!

There is still no gang tag! Whoever is helpful enough to contribute to that gang tag is also eligible for the badge! (But sorry, anyone posting Yellowstar art after this point does not get the chance for a badge! Your only hope now is to get Yellowstar into the Brony documentary! :pinkieshrug:

)

Whoa, this is great!

Also, someone should help me finish my gangtag contribution. :fluttersmith:

Well it's something.

Maybe "Yellowstar's Helpers"?

Welp.

If you guys make something good, I'll implement it.

(The little helpers is a bit too distracting)

Only a few more days :ohgawd:

Holy F, Gimp is such a piece of crap.

Gif removed and reposted below.

Anyway, here's another gangtag. It probably would have been a better idea to check if people liked the text first. I'm not willing to change it since it would take a lot of rework. It would also be difficult to change the number of text flashes, since it takes up a lot of the kb space.

It's really pretty decent software and I'm guessing most of your issues with it stem from your own unfamiliarity with it more than anything else. There are several legitimate issues with Gimp, but you're unlikely to have run into most of them while making a simple gangtag. Unless you're talking about layer handling,* in which case... :sheepish:

Anyway, got rid of the flashing text and left just the background animation:

The tag name can easily be changed to anything, if anyone's got any good suggestions. There really should be a poll for this.

* also, get Gimp 2.8 just for single-windowed mode

Yeah, very possible. I had Gimp 2.6. I tried downloading the latest version, but apparently failed miserably. I couldn't figure out how to make a selection and move part of a layer except by cutting the selection, pasting into a new layer, then merging the layers back together. Having the select tool and the move tool as two completely different things just angers me. Also, I'm left handed, so I usually run my tablet and mouse at the same time. I use the mouse to select colors and tools and zoom while drawing left handed. This is not possible in Gimp. I select a color, select a tool, then my pen hits the tablet and it resets to the "pen selected items." Finally, the eyedropper only works on the selected layer... why.

I'm way too used to Sai. The UI actually makes sense and rotating the canvas is amazing.

Ok, I'm done ranting.

Edit: I just noticed that my gangtag isn't animating now? Weird. You might have to open into a new tab.

This is a repost. Just testing to try and get it to animate.

Ctrl + alt + click and move, then click again to re-anchor it to the layer.

I don't use a tablet so it's very possible it's not good with them, or you might be missing some configuration.

"Sample merged".

The UI makes sense to me since I'm used to it for other purposes, and Gimp isn't designed specifically to paint, but it's still a valid complaint. A lot of professional painting programs don't have rotating or mirroring either, even though they would seem to me, as a non-artist, to be compulsory features.

Are you using Chrome? It has a bug where it doesn't animate some GIFs some of the time; don't know how it works exactly.

(?) · by **Aracat** (?) » Tue Jun 26, 2012 8:48 am

Yet another tag submission. Look at how helpful Yellowstar is, trying to help me get the text rotated right:

The pauses on either end should probably be longer but that's easy to change.

It's really funny that every submission so far absolutely needs to put her face on it. Are we that creatively starved?

(Answer: yes.)

(?) · by **Crow** (?) » Tue Jun 26, 2012 6:47 pm

Yeah, I was noticing that as well. The best tag looking tag (Trixsters) has a great shot of Trixie with her eyes closed. Rainbow Racers looks really good as well.

Y'all should try some stuff without Yellowstar in it. Maybe something with just her cutie mark or a different facial expression?

(?) · by **nuclearsuplex** (?) » Tue Jun 26, 2012 8:45 pm

I cannot say no to this face. 398 Views (1 today), 17 downloads (1 today). That's right, I downloaded that beautiful high-def jpg.

Okay, whoever made something, you now get to be an HONORARY WONDERBOLT.

Because sorting through all these posts is a pain, please post if you want it and I will cross-reference to make sure you deserve it.

Hell yes, tags for helping the most helpful pony. I'm there! crossreference

I guess I can use a Yellowbolt tag untill the day a Photofinish tag become available.

Damnit Kefka, I said Helpful Helpers won like a week ago in IRC. :unenthused:

(Help Others TaskForce is a pretty good Yellowstarism though, so it gets kudos. Nums, steal that blinking animation and add it to the emote and it's as good as there.)
