It’s the holiday season and we’re spreading the joy as we welcome our first set of community guests for BABSCon 2018!
First, you know him as the animator of many great works including Luna’s Determination, the Project Thundercloud series, The Return of Queen Quake (which is totally the best one, though we could be biased), Good Morning Baltimare, and many, many more: Minty Root will be making his return at BABSCon next year.
What would happen if Batman, Elsa, Sailor Moon, every other series under Celestia’s sun met MLP? ToucanLDM is answering that question, and he’ll be attending as our second community guest!
Next up is our first animator from the analysis community. Animator of several works such as Bronies Stamp the Ground as well as many a review, you may know her as the TF2 Analysis Anarchy's Head Editor and Blue Team Heavy, and we’re pleased to welcome the rainbow-colored analysis alicorn herself: Lightening Bliss!
Finally we have our first SFM animator of 2018, who’s most famous works include Lone Digger (in which Octavia and Vinyl pull off the most bad-flank bank heist in Equestrian history) as well as contributions to fandom projects such as the popular Doors and Doors 2, self-professed lover of beef jerky: Yaasho!
Check out their respective bios below, as they were provided to us:
Minty Root:
Minty Root is a Canadian fan animator, known for his work on Luna's Determination, Good Morning Baltimare and many more animated projects.
He's interested in cinematic storytelling, dramatic lighting and ambiance, but also cute little ponies.
ToucanLDM:
I’m known as the creator of the My Little Pony meets series on Youtube. Some of my most notable works include Batman, Spider-Man, Rapunzel, Elsa and Sailor Moon meets MLP!
Lightning Bliss:
Meet Lightning Bliss, the spunky, tiny, rainbow alicorn of the Brony Analysis Community, proud member of the Secret Rift Cafe as well as the Blue Team's "Heavy" and Lead Editor for Josh Scorcher's and DRWolf's TF2: Analysis Anarchy Series! When she's not reviewing or training on the battlefield, she's learning how to control her magic, work on her artwork and animation, or is up to silly shenanigans with her friends amongst the Brony Community! With her pet and guard dog Twink the rainbow monster watching over her, Lightning Bliss takes on the world, exploring new conventions and making new friends and meeting her fans! So keep an eye out for her, she would love to meet you all, but don’t call her cute! If you do! You risk getting zapped with
Yaasho:
I'm an amateur Source Filmmaker (SFM) animator with roughly 3 years of experience who loves animating ponies! It's one of my favorite hobbies next to playing World of Warcraft (For the Horde!). Coffee and beef jerky are two addictions of mine. Someday, I hope to travel across Europe.
