Have a case of the midsummer doldrums? Sometimes, it's good to start out your week with something a little, err, different. Cue this week's World of WarCrafts project, combining the runes of Frostmourne and the power of the Lich King with ... My Little Pony.
If you're suddenly humming "one of these things is not like the other," we'd suspect you've perked up and are catching on fast. That's the reaction we suspect most people have when confronted by the frosty terror of My Lich King Pony from Rosenrot of Nazgrel-US. "I love crafting and WoW," Rosenrot writes, "and when I was a little girl, I loved My Little Pony. I wanted to combine my past and current loves into one really cool project!"
Here's how Rosenrot pulled it off: "It started out as a white pony with purple hair. I ripped out the hair and scrubbed off the paint. Then I dyed the pony with fabric dye. The eyes and the Frostmourne runes are painted on with acrylic paint. I also re-haired the pony with two shades of blue.
"The spike on the pony's face is steel labret jewelry. For the saddle, I made chain mail out of small jump rings and added skull charms. The saddle is permanently attached with wire."

So, THIS is the pony GC promised us?
Pfft... I wanted a bigger pony. With more horns. And guns. Yeah guns. And he breathes fire.

More to the point, who won the previous contest in World of Warcrafts?

I find myself wanting this as an in-game mount... exactly as it is shown here, no differences. Well done Rosenrot, well done.

I just found out it's possible to combine girlish delight with gamer pride. Really.
DO WANT.

FOR PONY!

While I wouldn't want this any where near my gaming area, personally, I applaud it for quality and humor value.

I remeber seeing... somewhere, someone did sketches of both an Illidan MLP and a My Little Talbuck.
Soryne Jul 27th 2009 3:23PM
... I usually hate things like My Little Pony, which are for "Pink Girls". I am not a "Pink Girl" but... want.
My Little Talbuck would be interesting... Or My Little Blood Knight Warhorse, the ones with the glowing red eyes and chainmail.

I suspect this may be the pony GC promised us all.

This is pretty bland / sloppy as far as custom MLP go. I'm a little surprised to see this here at all, to be honest. I appreciate the effort, but It looks as though she started out making a draenei, decided the sculpted bits (usually done in apoxy or super sculpey) would be a bit too challenging and didn't take it far enough.
The original symbols haven't even been completely taken off! Bathe that little bugger in nailpolish remover for a day or two to get rid of that unwanted paint! Use a better quality brush in the future, and be prepared to refine your strokes to they don't look all streaky and rough. :/

years ago I jokingly asked my friends for gold towards my epic land mount for my rogue as a birthday present.
they gave me a purple my little pony....

...There is a pretty big guild on my server (Sen'jin) called My Little Pwnies.
Probably my most favorite guild name ever.

OMG I LOVE IT. I was such a My Little Pony fan as a kid.

My sister does My Little Pony stuff as well, but she doesn't play WoW (her most noticable piece to me is Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz)
