@Accopia
Yeah, that’s fine

@The Luna Fan
Cute OCs are not questions though - there’s a difference :P

Reminder: If you have questions please post them in this thread, not my PMs. Definitely not my Discord DMs.

@Dust Rock
Yes

@Dragon-Phoenix
eh, sure, whatever

@Guardian Talon
You mean the one pulling fish out of the water? That one was pre-approved already, so you’re all good to go there

@Dust Rock
You said “make her standing instead” a few days ago, so I interpreted that as a withdrawn request

PMs about flying characters should be sent out by now. If you didn’t get a PM (and we’re already per-approved) let me know

@Small Brooke
Noted

@GearCircuit_446
Got it

@MovieSkywalker
That would be fine

@LinuxPony
You need permission from the artist, but I imagine that’s fine as long as multiple people aren’t using the same YCH result

@MK Pony Mod
I got the responses from Luna today, so I should be sending out the DMs tonight

For people who submitted flying character requests:

I reviewed all the requests and then sent my responses to Luna for review. Once she looks at them, we’ll send out the approve/deny PMs. Hopefully in a day or two at most.

@DuskenDraws
Yeah, that’s pretty much all you have to do

Sorry for the slow responses. I’ve been at a con this weekend and have been very busy.

@Dust Rock
Probably. Though you still need to submit a flying OC request. I’m going to go through those probably Monday night or Tuesday.

@Ondrea
Pixel art is fine

@Panko Pai
That’s fine

@Ponyvideomaker
As long as your friend is alright with their OC being submitted, that is fine

@SpringDawn
That is okay

@Melisareb
Sure

@Panko Pai
That’s fine

@XVSSLVSH
A pool would take up too much space. These images get very crowded (last year had like 1500 characters)

@小林JK
You cannot reuse submissions from previous years, so if you submitted an image for 2021, you cannot use the same image for 2022.

#4. 800PX is the minimum height in most cases

#6. If she looks different that’s fine. Just remember that visuals don’t convey backstory, and we can’t really put much in terms of context in the collab either.

I’m extending the deadline for applying for flying spots from December 3rd to December 6th because I forgot I’m gonna be out of town that entire weekend.

Please ask in the art help thread (linked in the OP)

@NexusTheBrony
As long as you have the artist’s permission to submit it, this is fine

@ichiban iceychan 1517
The OCs don’t have to be in the same image. That rule was removed this year.

@xLeadMarex

@Autumn_Shy
The purpose of the collab is for people to submit their own OCs, not popular/fandom OCs that they like. Fluffle Puff was included one year, but if you check the tag history on that submission you’d see that it was the guy who created Fluffle Puff who submitted her. I generally would prefer not to include fandom/famous/mascot/etc OCs unless they’re submitted by either the person who created them or someone representing them.

So yeah, sorry, but no Fausticorn.

@rautamiekka
You need to ask in the art help thread please, not this one

@Jbond
Is that a 2D image or a 3D image? If it’s a 2D image, it’s fine

@Meanlucario
It’s striking me more of a cosplay thing in that context instead of something outright fetishy. If they didn’t have the outfits then I probably would be much more hesitant. I can ask the site staff for input though.

@Memengla
They’re cute!

@Guardian Talon
The background will probably be similar to the 2019 Collab (>>1945331). There will very likely be water visible, but it will be in the distant background.

If you want to draw a pony snatching a fish out of the water that’s fine. I think it’s a funny idea. However, because of perspective and distance they are gonna be extremely small and barely visible, to the point where it’d almost be more of an easter egg than an actual submission. So if you wanna do that, I’d recommend submitting another character too to be part of the main group.

@Film Reel
@The Smiling Pony
Yeah, last year’s was never announced to be the final one. I said it may be the last one I manage and someone else would be managing this one, but that didn’t play out. As it currently stands, I’m not planning on retiring from managing these any longer. I could say I am, but I’ll end up doing the next one anyway.

As long as there’s interest in these events happening, they’ll keep happening. And I’ll probably be the one managing them.

@ichiban iceychan 1517
That image is fine as it is. I can work with the gap between them. And if collars were a concern, that’d be an issue since both of my OCs wear collars all the time:

@Jbond
New generation style characters are fine, so long as they’re not 3D renders

@FliegerFaustToP47
It depends on how “original” it is. The closer it looks to canon style, the better.

@kuren247
It’s allowed in limited quantities (no huge group pics of it please)

@Meanlucario
That probably would be fine, though expect the character to probably appear shorter than expected in the image
