So...how about that hiatus? Let's see. lots of stuff coming your way. Been super busy, can't wait to share all the goodies with you. Sorry I've been gone so long everypony, expect to see a lot more of me soon.

P.S. I'll be at both TrotCon and BronyCon again this year, so that's a thing.

Here's something new. A convention in Michigan is looking to break the mold and invited Silly Filly Studios to be amongst their guests.

Definitely worth looking into.

Up next, we have the latest from JanAnimations: ☆ Bar Buddies.

If you haven't subscribed to his new channel, now is certainly the time. http://www.youtube.com/user/Jananimationstudios

So after well over half a year later I'm finally somehow able to post up images once again. Now let's begin.

Last year before BronyCon, I started working with  afterthefox after a sudden burst of inspiration hit me one night and we started our nefarious scheming. Thanks to her amazing artwork, Assassin Steed is now a thing. AS is part of the first wave of MLP: FiM inspired clothing that we will be producing. Along with kigurumi PJs, we have a lot in store for every pony.

Now if I could only get my website up and running...

https://www.facebook.com/assassinssteed

Come on over and join the fun.

So I just came across this site, and honestly I cannot describe what is going through my head right now. Honestly, I have no words...

So let's hear yours instead.

So this happened. Let's get some critique.

Just a friendly heads up. This video is either amazing, or creepier than you can possibly imagine.

Also still no help from the FA admins on being able to submit new art.

If you're not following Alligator Tub Productions, now is as good as any to start.

So I have this really cool project that I've been trying to announce for some time now, and for the life of me FA keeps giving me errors left and right and it will NOT let me upload any images whatsoever. Has anyone else been having this problem, and if so, does anyone know how to get around it?

Well I finally broke down and opened my Etsy shop... http://www.etsy.com/shop/Bronyorg Not much just yet, but we have some neat things in the works right now. Another update shortly on all of the craziness. Also updates on BronyCon, and Brony.org as a whole.

~HH

Just 1 month to go, and a lot of work ahead of us. So right now we have a lot of plans, and we actually have a booth. So here's our shtick.

We're going under the name Made In Ponyville, and we have a LOT of really neat and original things that we think you're going to like, including inspired clothing and costumes. I can guarantee that it's going to be unlike anything you have yet you see, but we're always open for ideas and suggestions of original merch that you've never seen, or always wanted to see.

All that aside, I'm also looking for someone who might be able to style a wig for me. Looking for a good Rainbow Dash wig at the moment, and I can certainly pay for the styling.

So who else will be attending?

This really explains so much.

I tip my hardhat to this.

Sorry I've been incommunicado as of late, life's been hectic for this pony to say the least. Now to the heart of the matter, let's talk about Equestria Girls.

When we first saw the initial production images, many of us were skeptical, or downright hostile to say the least when we saw our favorite 6 ponies made human(despite many of our own fanart). That conception changed quite a bit when Hasbro released the trailer, and many a pony changed their views. Now having seen it personally, I cannot see fault in the film.

So how many of you have seen it, and what did you think?

(PS, there's a nice Easter Egg in the credits)

Thoughts or comments?

So this looks to be quite different than envisioned. Let's get everyone's thoughts on this.

http://www.screenvision.com/cinema-.....#theaters_list

Well now we know WHERE it's taking place.

Now what to do about it.

So this took me a bit off guard to say the least. We knew this was coming, but as a featured movie? So tell me everypony, what are your honest thoughts on this?

https://youtu.be/oHOR9_yMakU

I don't care what anyone thinks, this is hysterical and I can't stop laughing.

To be fair, this is sort of what it's like at most gatherings when folks get to singing.

https://youtu.be/A9T3CIZvPUY

So this sort of happened. Has anyone else come across this tumblr before?

Hello everypony, it's certainly been a while. Life has caught up to me, but I'm back, and hopefully for a while.

Jumping back in after the end of the season...[no comment atm] we have just been treated to one of the most spectacular fan films to date. Without further ado, after 54 weeks of production, here is Double Rainboom.

As we bring 2012 to a close, we want to share with you one of our most recent finds.  lux_operon, aside from offering custom light-up cutie marks, is looking to help those who have not quite found their own cutie mark of their own. It's a different take on adoptables, but I like that it's not so much attached to a whole image so you can design your ponysona all on your own.

As of this moment we believe that we have a stable web designer and we are going to start doing what we can to move things forward(yes, FINALLY). We're still here, the Mayan Apacolypse didn't take place, the Crystal Empire has been saved(not that we've heard anything else about them...), and we haven't been devoured by Timber Wolves, so I have high hopes for 2013.

Everypony, have yourselves a Happy New Year.

~Hardhat Hooves

I wanted to send some sort of holiday greeting to my friends and colleagues, but it is difficult in today's world to know exactly what to say without offending someone. So I met with my lawyer yesterday, and on legal advice I wish to say the following:

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive, gender neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday practised with the most enjoyable traditions of religious persuasion or secular practices of your choice with respect for the religious / secular persuasions and / or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all.

I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2013, but not without due respect for the calendar of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make our country great (not to imply that this country is necessarily greater than any other country) and without regard to the race, creed, colour, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee.

By accepting this greeting, you are accepting these terms:

This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for her/him or others and is void where prohibited by law, and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher. The wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual application of good tidings for a period of one year or until the issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher.

Best Regards (without prejudice),

Name withheld (On privacy grounds)

So this one of course is waaaay old news for us, but for the business world, I never quite expected someone to bring us up as reference.

*[WARNING]* You WILL lose a lot of time browsing and laughing at the contents of this site as a whole.

So hey everypony, how's it been shaking? Sorry I've been away for so long, it's been quite a busy year for me, and now we're finally into Season 3. I'm going to try and be a lot more active, and hopefully do something constructive in the meantime.

Also, we think you'll really enjoy something that we came across. Details soon.

Sorry all that I've been a bit scarce as of late. The 501st refers to this as "Darth Life", and wow has it gotten the better of me lately. Lately I've been trying to work on so many different things it's been pretty crazy, but this next weekend will be one heck of a doozy for me. Next weekend is Youmacon, and for those who are unfamiliar with it, it's one of the largest Anime conventions in the US. But it's not all Anime, nono, it also has a very large focus on other popular cultures as well(with Ponies having a large part in that this year). So there's going to be a lot of pony goodness over the weekend, and more than a few gatherings and photoshoots throughout the weekend. Trying to get things lined up, and hopefully we'll have some cool news in the near future. Lots more pictures and updates coming soon.

 starpony has been working on some really fantastic icons and has been amazing enough to allow them to be used for free. So stop on by, say hi, and thank her for being this awesome.
