Jimmy's Pony Creation Thread. Because you were too unoriginal to make your own.

Question

So, your doing a pony for your tulpa, huh? So am I. But I want to give you some help before you might mess up.

 

Character

First off, I would advise not basing it off a pony that has much speaking time, like the mane 6, or even a character that gets even a small role or amount of time on air like Mr. Cake. Why? Because you're trying to build it into something it can't be. Tulpas are like snow flakes, none are exactly the same. Due to deviation, or your choice of character traits, a Rainbow Dash tulpa will never be the same as the pony on the show. But everytime it looks at your memory, or sees you watching MLP:FiM, she will be disappointed she didn't be the pegasus you wanted. For my tulpa, I chose Vinyl Scratch. This decision was made not based on what I said above, but through personal choice. For reference for non-bronies/pegasis, she's only appeared a few times, and never spoken on the show. One must note that others have made/are creating tulpas based off characters with fleshed out personalities, even with

knowledge of FAQ's warnings. Bluesleeve, a sometime poster here, is creating a tulpa based off Rainbow Dash. To quote from his blog:

 

It’s not like I’m talking to myself now, but to Rainbow Dash, she’s kind of there now - like a co-pilot.

 

I would listen to him in what he says, despite some of his info going against what FAQ says. Link to his tumblr. Something to note that I haven't yet heard of a tulpa being jealous of it's tulpamancer's (read the Glossary) favourite. If you do a Bon Bon (little talk time that I know of) tulpa, but Twilight is your opinion of the best pone, jealousy could occur. Entirely superstition from my perspective.

 

Visuals

So once you've decided on the form/character, think about the visualization. Do you want a cartoon imposition? Or perhaps you want to have your tulpa similar to this? I took it upon myself to try to do the 2d version. Read the visualization links in the Links section at the top of the page for help. What I did is I printed off a bunch of images of the 2d version from the internet, hole punched them and threw em' in a binder, put paper over them and traced them. This allowed me imagine at least some angles of her body. While forcing, I would imagine Vinyl in my wonderland of sorts, just her amongst blackness. To get the angles, I would spin her around Google Earth style. This is easier to imagine if you're doing a 3d imposition, but some tips if you decided on 2d:

 

  • Few shadows exist in the cartoons, and when they do, they are usually a solid, non blurred shadow (some exceptions: the insides of Rarity's hair and the insides of legs)
  • Depth exists through >implication. Using a picture of Vinyl for reference, you can note the >implied depth in the legs, head and neck. Focus on this while spinning your pony

 

An issue I had with imagining Vinyl: The nose. While you may imagine it way easier, and not have the same problem I did. But consult the 3d render link from above. The bridge of the nose is rather blocky (perhaps it's the render, but I doubt it), but the pointest part of the nose leads directly into the neck, without any sort of chin, with the mouth in the middle of that. The nose isn't just some blob with two holes on it, and writing this guide has actually helped a bit with understanding the nose. Thanks me!

 

Notes

Don't create friends for your tulpa. As much as they are buds in the series, you don't want your happy as can be Applejack to get depressed because of the fact she's missing her friends and family. This ties in with the first paragraphs.

 

Clopping is a bit of an issue as well. To those who didn't migrate from /mlp/ or anywhere pony related, it's fapping to pony Rule 34. Back to the topic, if you've fapped to your precious Lyra taking it up the ass from Braeburn, I'd consider purging that memory. But read on. We aren't fluffy ponies, however, so you can't reset minds. I personally will come clean about everything to Vinyl when the bridge is upon me, and I would suggest the same to you if you don't want to try and forget the memory. Clopping will come up eventually regardless of what you try and do, so I'd come clean. It's your choice though.

 

Also, something to dwell on for people who have already developed tulpas based off (non) fictional characters: Would your tulpa have suffered identity problems if you simply used the image and not the personality?

 

Will edit for mistakes if I see them.

Is that those shitty models used in GMod and whatnot? Are you serious? They look horrendous. Use Hashbrony's designs instead. <_<

 

Of course, if he doesn't have a model of the pony of your choice, well... just don't use the ShadowSquirrel models. Make a goddamn 2D pony in the original style like a boss (silly Lonely Island reference because Glitch just had sex, and it felt so good with his dick inside of Luna).

This is why I think you're the most sensible person on the forums

Well in case anyone needed help.


Oh, and a significant portion of the people came from /mlp/ threads. You wouldn't know however.

Oh my god I hate ponies. I hate them so much. You are not special snowflakes, you don't need separate guides to create your recolor pony tulpas.

 

Despite holding somewhat of a disdain for the fandom and series myself, it is indeed correct that a large chunk of the forum came from /mlp/, as a lot of the Tulpa threads before there were forums were on that board.

Let them have their thread. It's not like they raid other threads or anything.

I think it would be an overstatement for this to even be a Tips & Tricks. It's obviously useful in some way to create a Pony tulpa, but with words like "clopping," and all that, not sure how that would be considered to other GAT members and other community members.

 

I disapprove of it since there doesn't seem to be much detail other than using references and such. And the aspect with not creating more friends (in relation to the series) isn't really something needed to be stated. It's negative front-loading, at least that's how I interpreted it with the probability of jealousy, fear, and other insecurities the tulpa may develop.

Gotta agree with everything I've read in this guide. Funnily enough, my tulpa is also based off of Vinyl Scratch, mainly because the character has no real personality roles in the show, and because something about her design just clicks with me. This guide could very well be used for not just ponies, but any anime/cartoon character, as well. Also forcing in a 2D sense, so you would just have to have that feel of depth. My hardest issue is keeping her height consistent during visualization, haha.

Tulpa: Vinyl

Stage: A bit of everything, primarily right now imposition.

Appearance: Pony (originally styled similar to the MLPFiM art style, but lately has been shifting to a more anime-ish appearance)

Disapproved. This is written poorly and does certainly not qualify as a guide for many of the reasons previously discussed by Dialogues and some of the others.

Also this. The (older) GMOD style ponies look really bad.
