Ponification pontification

[plonq]

One of the things I was tentatively planning to do at MFF was commission a new badge. I scoped out the dealers' den and artist alley trying pick an artist who drew in a style that I liked, but didn't look so overburdened with commissions that I might have a chance of getting a finished badge before the weekend was over.

Then suddenly it was Sunday and far too late to seek out a commission.

Part of the problem was that I could not decide if I wanted to just get another plonq done, or if I wanted to get a ponified plonq done, even though I am totally not a brony.

I was leaning toward the latter, which landed me in the lap of another conundrum; for the life of me I couldn't think of an appropriate cutie mark for my ponified plonq.

Well, that's also not true. I had a cutie mark in mind, but I wasn't sure if I wanted to try and saddle some poor artist into doing a visual representation of existential nihilism in a form that would fit comfortably on a flank.

Oh well, maybe next year.

For that, the cutie mark would be the symbol for the null set.

I take 'You as a pony' commissions pretty much all the time, so.... if you want one, hit me up :D

Hm. This proposition intrigues me. The idea of a ponified Plonq, or a Plonqified pony... wait, would it be Plonqified or Plonquified? I get thrown by this whole U following Q thing at times.

Anyway, unless you've got some ideas on how to draw "existential nihilism" then I'll try and come up with something a bit more, er, drawable.

Well, I know where to find you for now. If inspiration strikes me on the heels of a major boss pull, I can always start bouncing the ideas off you via /w. Ponies are more important than a wipe or two caused by a distracted tank IMO.

Either a ponified plonq or a plonqified pony works well. To be honest, I can't think of what existential nihilism would look like XD

Also, yes, I would be happy to cause a few wipes while talking about ponies during Ragnaros this sunday.
