Pony Resource Project

Wed Feb 6, 2013, 3:42 AM by *Yanoda:iconyanoda:
Hey everypony!

Looking for a screenshot to trace? Looking for a reference of a specific pose or pony? Having trouble finding screenshots of a pony doing something specific? Well, look no further!

I present to you Pony Resource Booru!

As you can see, there's some stuff here already, but we need you to help us! Upload all of your interesting screenshots so all of us artists can have a large comprehensive database of screenshots for references!

Those of you familiar with image Boorus should already know how this works. For those of you who aren't, I'll give you a little explanation.

Anyone can add images to the pool, and they add various tags to help make it easier to find for other users. Anyone can then search by tag (or multiple tags) to find what they are looking for. You can also add and remove tags from any posts, even ones you did not submit, which means the community controls how useful the content is.

You can add things without signing up, as well as edit the tags on posts that were made within the last hour. However, you have to sign up as a member (which is free and easy) if you want to be able to, tag older posts, add images to your favorites, or add notes.

:bulletgreen: See this post for a list of general guidelines.

:bulletgreen: What kind of tags should you add?

Add lots of tags! The more the merrier! Never be afraid to add or correct others' tags, too!

Glad, this been made.

Sadly, the first thing that comes to mind when thinking
about "Booru's" is um- *cough* "grown-up stuff".

So maybe now this will fix that...

By the way, whoever goes by 'ponyresource' on that booru, I'd like to get in contact with you because there are ideas I want to pitch about how the site is organized. Just send me a skype name or something.

That would be me. I'm the creator/admin.

Oh wow... more than half the uploads there are my own and most of them have a lot of background elements which most other screencaps do not have. What's even more interesting is that I'm not even done because I know there are many more screencaps I can get.

Kinda funny as I'm not seeing much activity from many other people. If people are using this at the moment, you guys are using this, right? =p I hope I'm not the only person who needs a ton of background references.

I would also like to note that we should not be entirely focused on characters. Especially if you're an artist who needs to create backgrounds, resources for backgrounds, even if they are mere references for the architectural or interior design style are also important. I think there ought to be a background tag meant for pics that are intended to be references for backgrounds, as all I'm seeing at a glance are pics clearly intended to be a reference for a character.

We would love to have more shots that focus on backgrounds and objects as well as ponies. It's just far less common for people to upload those kinds of things.

I hope I uploaded enough background-focused stuff :D

I am fairly sure it's meant to include backgrounds as well. :) We should remember though that it's hard to get clear shots of backgrounds with no visible characters without any editing.
