MLP Fanartist that is now kickstarting their Artist Career (10 years too late XD )
Hey, I just thought I let you know that I found out you can, to some degree rip models and textures from the MLP Gameloft game using a combination of an Android emulator and the Ninja-ripper tool.
...
However there are 2 problems that come with this methode:
1. It screws up the UV unwraping and I hadn't had a chance to see if there is a quick fix or if one has to manually do it, so this might be a bit tedious to fix but not impossible.
2. Because of the way Ninja-ripper works it can only rip things that are on screen essentially...so no hidden secrets most of the time and this means that you would need to either get a savegame with all the ponys you need already active or a cracked version where you can do so yourself quickly.
I thought this might be of interest to you.
Also I just want to say that I very much aprechiate what you've done so far having access to all these models as refferences was imensly useful.
If you're worried about that maybe look into getting a small part-time job somewhere between 5-20 hours or so. I've done this so I have a reliable safety net that asures my most important bills and costs are covered so I don't need to worry to much on a month by month basis. So even if it cuts down on the time I can use for my own stuff and comes with its own stresses I found it better than to worry about not having the money at the end of the month. Other than that, maybe try to advertise yourself a bit to get some new people here and thus potential paying customers. One way I found that tends to attracts quite a lot of new people are things like a free art raffle (you know: like and share this post to get a chance of winning a free drawing or something like that)
In any case I wish you the best of luck
If you want I could send you a larger version of only the stained glass layer...question is, since in its current state it is technically a little bit see-through if you want a solid version which might make the colors a bit stronger and if you want it with or without the stained glass texture on top of it or not? let me know if you want it and I make it the next time I'm at my workstation ^^
