BONC Song Project Post 1

So I've been known to get random ideas for pictures and just start drawing them.  Recently I've been doing a few for the Bronies of Northern California (BONC).  It started after seeing the ending to Season 3 of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, and I thought "Hey...why not take a few original characters these guys have made, and rewrite the song lyrics to match them."  With that, I came up with this.

What My Cutie Mark is Telling Me (BONC Version)

(Violet Dream)

TK?  Why are you in Kitsune's place?  And why are you trying to set up dates?

(Thunderkeg)

I see two ponies lonely

And want to help them out.

But after just ten minutes

They start a bucking bout.

I set up all these blind dates

And hope that their happy

That has to be my destiny

Cause it's what my cutie mark is telling me.

(Kitsune)

I'm always at the computer

and nothing comes to mind

And everything I try to draw

Just ends up unrefined

I don't get photoshop tools

Or color theory

This destiny is not easy

But it's what my cutie mark is telling me.

(Pixel)

I smile and laugh and tell my jokes

But get no laughter from these folks

And acting like I'm British

Can't get a smile from any bloke.

If they knew how hard I'm trying

I'd get laughs of sympathy

'Cause can't you see my destiny

It's what my cutie mark is telling me.

(Bo)

The sounds they rattle in my head

and cause my head to ache

And when others listen to it

their ears they want to rake

I love to make this music

but the truth I must decree

My destiny, it ain't easy.

But it's what my cutie mark is telling me.

(Nymo)

I try to design new games

But never get them done

And just to keep up with my work

I have no time for fun

It's hard to be efficient

When facts weigh down on me

But it has to be…

(Kitsune)

It has to be…

(Pixel)

My destiny…

(Thunderkeg)

My destiny…

(Nymo and Bo)

Cause it's what my cutie mark

(All)

It's what my cutie mark

Yes it's what my cutie mark is telling me!

I liked it.  And apparently they did too because as soon as I posted it, the entire Facebook group started planning to record it themselves.  Hopefully, it should be nearly done.  But I wasn't even done.  I had to take it one step further and do the resolution song for it as well, complete with relevant picture.

A True Brony (A True, True Friend (BONC Version))

[Violet Dream]

A true brony helps a friend in need

Whether right next door or across the sea

[Violet and Bo Diddly]

A true brony helps a friend in need

To see the light that shines from a true brony

*Pixel Coder: Um, hello! I'm still on stage?*

[Violet Dream]

Kitsune needs your help

She's trying hard doing what she can

[Bo Diddly]

Would you try, just give it a chance

You might find that you'll start to understand

[Violet and Bo Diddly]

A true brony helps a friend in need

Whether right next door or across the sea

A true brony helps a friend in need

To see the light that shines from a true brony

Pixel Coder: Uh, what just happened?

Violet Dream: There's no time to explain, but we need your help. Thunderkeg's trying to play matchmaker!

Pixel Coder: Say no more!

[Pixel Coder]

Thunderkeg needs your help

He's trying hard doing what he can

Would you try, just give it a chance

You might find that you'll start to understand

[Violet, Bo Diddly, and Pixel Coder]

A true brony helps a friend in need

Whether right next door or across the sea

A true brony helps a friend in need

To see the light that shines from a true brony

Kitsune Heart: Oh my…that was interesting?  Actually…it still is. (snicker)

Violet Dream: Kitsune Heart, Nymo is about to lose the studio. We need Thunderkeg's help!

Kitsune Heart: Lose the studio? Well we can't let that happen, now can we?

[Kitsune Heart]

Nymo is in trouble

We need to get there by his side

We can try to do what we can now

For together we can be his guide

[Violet, Bo Diddly, Pixel Coder, and Kitsune Heart]

A true brony helps a friend in need

Whether right next door or across the sea

A true brony helps a friend in need

To see the light that shines from a true brony

Thunderkeg: ALRIGHT! Now that's what I'm talking about, what's next?

Violet Dream: The townspeople are furious, we need the old Nymo back.

Thunderkeg: I'm on it, I know just the pony.

[Thunderkeg]

The townsponies need you, they're all bored can't you see

They walk along without a song and have no energy

And if you feel the bass well then just drop it like it's hot

So get it done and spread some fun from here to Canterlot!

Nymo: Come on ponies, I wanna see you dance!

Crowd: Nymo!

[All and chorus]

A true brony helps a friend in need

Whether right next door or across the sea

A true brony helps a friend in need

To see the light (to see the light)

That shines (that shines)

From a true brony!

After that, the guys were blown away and are already starting to get ready for recording this as well.  That much excitement makes me excited to do stuff, and so I organized another one, this time going for something more original rather than just another rewrite.  I also wanted to include as many of them as I could.  So, I asked them to send me their OCs, and I was going to create a brand new song and picture including everyone that sent me stuff.  So far, I've received 17 characters, and I have a full month left to go. O.O

I had to start planning the picture at least (I have no idea how I'm going to do the song, but I'll figure it out eventually) and I got to this point after several versions and a few hours.

It's starting to come together...I'll post more updates later, but I figured this was a good way to start off this blog page.  Also, in case you don't know...the brown one with goggles is my OC.
