Gonna do some pony art for CTcon. If you were hypothetically looking to buy silly prints of Pony fanart, what kind of SFW stuff would you be looking for? I'm low on inspiration and totally happy for ideas. :B
For big sales, go for crossovers. Try and think of things no one has mashed up yet. Also, buttons of anything are popular. Pony mash up + fanart + button of said fanart = win.

Well, do you want to target us specifically or do you want something that will be popular and sell a whole bunch? If you did ponies plus Tezuka or something then we would all like it, but most people wouldn't care. If you did ponies + Miyazaki maybe some more people would dig it. If you do ponies + whatever the trend of the week is, you would be in business.

I won't be at the con, and I don't know if this has been done a million times yet, but I'd bet a Zelda/MLP crossover would probably sell well. Derpy Hooves = Navi, perhaps?

I know some of us are a more niche audience, but I trust your opinions enough. Crossovers it is. And yeah, I'll probaby go for something popular.
Stylizing is also good. Do something interesting, don't just do a picture of Twilight Sparkle directly from the show glued onto a bag (though the more I think about that, it's kind of awesomely creepy.)
One thing I find fun is coming up with alternative life lessons for Twilight Sparkle. Some of the things she reports to Celestia are totally off base. Examples:
In the 'slumber party' episode, Twilight Sparkle learns that friends can embrace one another's differences rather than let them tear them apart. My lesson: "Don't get so wrapped up in your plans for the group that you don't notice your friends aren't having fun. And who runs a slumber party out of a fucking book, anyway?"
In the 'only two tickets' episode, Twilight Sparkle learns that things are not fun if some of your friends miss out, so best if no-one has fun at all. My lesson: "First come, first served."
In the 'bugs multiplying everywhere' episode, Twilight Sparkle learns that she should listen to her friends' solutions, even if they make no fucking sense. My lesson, for Pinkie Pie: "If you have a plan, clearly communicate it. Don't expect your friends to follow you blindly. If you hadn't sounded like such a lunatic this problem would've been solved much faster."
It's obvious Doctor Whoves is really the Doctor Using a Chameleon Circuit to keep an eye on this alternative dimension to prevent the incoming smooze invasion (because, contrary to popular belief, he can stop it).

Ponies + Reborn = $$$
The make THIS but not proper figurines of the mane six?

I dunno 'bout you lot, but I'd love to see a My Little Humans anime.
