2019 Derpibooru Community Collab

I wonder which will take longer for Joey to do….
 
Creating the collab image….
 
Or TAGGING the thing!!

@40kponyguy  
I’m gonna guess the former since I believe he used a script to tag the last two images.

@Salamenace  
It’s to be hoped so.
 
Imagine trying to tag that image manually….

So, I just went through, sorted all the submissions, counted them twice to ensure an accurate number…. Can’t fucking beat this:
 

@Joey  
That’s a lot of pony… O_O

@Joey  
Also, if anyone thinks this will be done by the 2nd as promised…. I got news for you…

@Joey  
Good news?

@The Smiling Pony  
Late news

@Joey  
:<

@Joey  
It’s fine.
 
A lot of work there.
 
A lot more than the ‘Villains of Equestria’ collab which we’re still waiting for. (I did more than my fair share of characters for that project).
 
I feel that has fallen by the way side. It was supposed to be done around the end of October 2018.
 
So a few days extra waiting for a collab image which is so ambitious it would crush most PCs is not an issue for most here.
 
Here’s hoping to see it around the 10th Jan? Or would that still be a bit optimistic?

What do you think this year’s badge will be?
 
I’m betting Applejack.

@Tazool  
I dunno, possibly a Kirin since those are popular. Usually I decide three weeks after I’m supposed to. So you’ll find out…. eventually…

@Joey  

 
Blasphemy.

a nice even number eh?
 

 
and I totally vote for a kirin badge

a 1000 ponies. Full house

@LightningBolt  
You’re right. A changedling would definitely be a better choice. Preferably King Thorax. :-)

@Tazool  
No I want a siren. :(
 
Now I wish I got a siren patreon badge.

@Joey  
It’s okay. I understand that this is a big project. I don’t mind waiting for the end result.
 
@Joey  
@Tazool  
@LightningBolt  
I wouldn’t mind any of those three species. I’m not all too picky.

@LightningBolt  
Police or tornado?

@Joey  
Yes.

@Joey  
that face when no shining armor badge…  

 
how about shining armor as a kirin? best of both worlds and all that.

Now I wish I could have the FRICKIN’ MONEY TO DONATE AND GET MYSELF A CUSTOM GIRATINA BADGE!!! ლಠ益ಠ)ლ
 

 
_{i know, off topic, stfu}

When is going to be posted the final image?

@Red Cedar  
Again, really sorry for flagging your entry so late. I’m very thankful everyone here was able to pull together so quickly on this request, and especially thankful for the extended entry window (#special thanks to hue lightbulbs)
 
@Joey  
Hey no rush, never imagined we’d get 1000 characters in on this, take all the time you need (maybe build the centre line divided and work off of 2 files instead?)
 
 
@Joey @LightningBolt @T72B @Tazool -@LightningBolt @DanielTepesKraus
 
Kirin badge sounds about right, i also imagine the helper badge would be something akin to the friendship school emblem, considering the amount of support that arose this year, it seems like the most suitable choice.
 
 
@40kponyguy  
also sorry for not being online, wasn’t feeling well all day today and literally after i posted that lurker image i conked out, super thankful to @Ciaran and @Binkyt11 for their quick response.

@tatemil  
Sometime in the first half of January., Joey’s PC willing.
