BABSCon - Community Guests

Duo Cartoonist

Duo Cartoonist first gained fandom-wide notice with the release of the Discord/Celestia focused animatic Heaven’s Light. They rocketed to the fandom stardom with the release of the critical and fandom acclaim with animated short Children of the Night, which currently has over 40 Million views! They cemented their status as one of the fandoms absolute best fan animators with the release of The Moon Rises.

In addition to the animated shorts starring Princess Luna which have already released, Duo Cartoonist is working on a new animation starring Discord and Princess Celestia entitled Choices!

Minty Root

Minty Root is a Canadian fan animator who you might recognize for his work on Dinky's Destiny, Good Morning Baltimare, the upcoming Luna's Determination, and many other fan animated projects including our 2017 animation! Minty isn't your typical snappy comedy animator, his work is slow, heartbreaking, silent and driven by very careful framing, lighting and detailed scenery.

Silver Quill

Comic artist, reviewer, universal punching bag. Silver Quill goes by many titles and some of them are even complimentary! Beginning with fan comics in 2012, Silver Quill gained an audience that would eventually support his Youtube Channel to over 113,000 subscribers. He now writes reviews and editorials on Equestria Daily while producing his “After the Fact” review series. Babscon was his first Brony convention and he’s made an effort to attend every year since. And for the record, he was a hippogriff before it was cool!

Josh Scorcher

KABOOM! The Fiery Prince of Brony Analysis is here to make jokes, fanboy over Celestia, and generally take ponies way too seriously! Starting his YouTube channel in 2010, he's grown to have one of the most popular Brony Review shows. He's also one of the main writers and managers of TF2 Analysis Anarchy. Also one of the founders of FOB Equestria, where all things military are ponified.

Dr. Wolf

Greetings and Welcome Everyone. Though many know DRWolf through Reviews and Analysis of MLP, many others enjoy the ongoing "TF2 Analysis Anarchy" series as well as the long list of Dramatic Readings he's put together of MLP Fan Fictions from the community. He actually started a Youtube channel to work on his voice acting, but it's still a lot of fun to find what inspires him about MLP. The show and the fandom surrounding it has become rather intriguing. Quite unlike anything that he has come across before. Perhaps if you stay awhile, he can help you to find some inspiration too.

Dusty Katt

What more can be said about the man? Poet, artist, voice actor, athlete, curmudgeon, and all around teddy kitty. And if you believe all that, he has a bridge in Trotingham to sell you. Dustykatt is many things, he’s been in documentaries about the Brony phenomenon. Done acting in a student film, been in a Metallica music video for their latest album. Built custom motorcycles, made guitars with his bare hands, trained as a professional wrestler and competed in college athletics. All of this might make him very manly, but none of it makes him as proud as when he raises hundreds of thousands of dollars for charities around the world when he auctioneers at conventions. Or when he helps those affected by bullying as he once was as a child. You can see him in the ever popular Bronies React series on Youtube, voicing characters in various fandom animation projects as well as cooking on his own popular channel. Just search “Manliest Brony in the World.”

ACRacebest

From comedic skits to demolition derbies, and song parodies to PMVs, ACRacebest is known for many things. He’s best known for his Bronies React series. With over 100,000 subscribers and appearances on national television, there's always a story to tell and a laugh to be had. Keep an eye out, you never know when he’ll have his camera out filming for his convention vlogs. Just don’t ask him about Zootopia. Please. We’re begging you.

Saberspark

Saberspark ($@B=R$P@RK if you are referring to his DJ handle) reviews cartoons on YouTube and acts like a crazy man-child at conventions.

You can also find him on Dr Wolf's TF2 Analysis Anarchy series as the BLU Soldier. He has an ear to the brony reviewing community and provides his own brand of witty "educainment" to all those who watch. And of course, wherever he goes, his alter ego CarToonZ is not far behind. He is there for YOUR entertainment!
