GIANT Pony Mural Speedpaint

A group of students at Missouri S&T created this huge pony painting in one of the tunnels on their campus.  It's pretty impressive to see it all come together.  Kind of reminds me of the vector tutorials, but with hands instead of mouse pointers... weiiird.

Check it out after the break!

Or the image here for the lazy people out there.

Jelfes said...

Now if only I had the slightest bit of artistic skill, I would so do one of these.

Asus needs pony art.

This defines true awesome. What an awesome project!

Colt Classic said...

i wish i had a fraction of the artistic talent that some of the more skilled bronies out there posses.

wackyteen said...

i like the concept but that image is so fucking common and it's one of my least favorite images dealing with Ponies.

Brohoof to the artists. Murals are the best kinds of painting.

@WWRDD? It's Eurobeat Brony's version of Cupcakes.

Zurkoslat said...

Awesome, wish RIT had such a large Brony presence we have tons of tunnels waiting to be painted.

Octavia said...

Oh wow. Very very nice work on that. It's cool to see it come together from beginning to end too. :)

@Gollum999
wait wait wait... your in this video? your one of the guys? if so, awesome job! damn, you guys didn't even do a pre-sketch on the wall it looks like. Just went straight to town on that thing. And turned out really freaking good. How long did that actually take?

(also, way to have some serious brass to do that in your college walkway tunnel. Not gunna lie, I would have felt soooo weird every time someone walked by)

Nämahs said...

@WWRDD? ಠ_ಠ
You don't know Eurobeat's Cupcakes? It's one of the oldest, and most viewed songs in the entire fandom.

Woof Hooves said...

impressive..im curious of how long it took from the chalk/pencil outlines on the wall to finish....

DarcySupremest said...

"This wall needs a mural"

and thus Man painted ponies on the walls for all to see.
It was great

Vabla said...

Well, that's... magical. And it's never going to happen in my country.

Pyrobug said...

Coloring inside the lines: you're doin it right.

EthanStroup said...

Amazing. Wow... just, wow! Can I hire you guys to make one in my room?

Jasper Scratch said...

I walk by this everyday, and everyday as it progressed further, it made me prouder and prouder to be a brony. This video makes it all complete. I'd say it took them about two weeks total from start to finish (note that it was several hours in the evening every second or third day.)

Koji said...

This is cool don't get me wrong... But the video would have been at least 20% less sad if there had been at least one girl helping out.

Gollum999 said...

@Risky

Yup! I'm the guy in the green shirt. :D

We actually did do a pre-sketch, but it doesn't show up on video very well. :/

And it took somewhere around 30 hours, over the course of a week.

Gollum999 said...

@Jasper Scratch

Actually, it only took us a week. We started last Monday, and finished on Sunday night. :D

Planetary Genocide said...

Hehe, one of my friends was posting about this on his Facebook (he goes to MS&T, I'm at Mizzou), and I was like "Dude I'm fucking jealous as balls" the entire time. Nice to see you guys got on EqD.

Arclight said...

@Koji

Good luck. It's a school for engineers, and we're still sort of amazed when we can find females on campus.

Chaoyll said...

God that is really good. I remember when my dad used to paint these kind of things on my wall for me when I was a kid. What he'd do was use a projector to project the image I wanted on to the wall, he'd trace it with a pencil and then line/paint it and whatnot. I wonder if these guys did the same thing here to get this picture looking so perfect.

(Should really get my dad back in my house to do one of those on my wall. xD)

Phil Srobeighn said...

Go MO! Show Me some Ponies! Makes me proud to be a Missourian.

XxMlgCptMTxX said...

The thing that got me hooked was when I heard eurobeat start playing... :P

Mars said...

This is amazing.

Topsy Kretts said...

Bronies are present : Check
Pony Mural is present : Check
Engineering School : Check

MY BODY IS READY TO CONSIDER GOING HERE.

GWGV said...

I always get the urge to draw/paint something after watching these speedpaints, and then I remember just how terrible I am at drawing/painting. This is one seriously talented fandom...

EonMaster said...

Wait, Missouri S&T?! I used to go to school there! Too bad I changed majors and schools. :(

karaterachel said...

This is soo great :) They're done like, perfectly. I need to learn to draw ponies, man.

Koji said...

Arclight: The school just needs to lower it's standards so women can get in.


J/k j/k!!
