Streaming Snails and Twist via DA friends suggestion

http://www.livestream.com/pharmparty

I'm always down for a good art stream! If I'm available at the time it goes up, I'll drop in!

Where'd you go?! xD

Breif art hiatus for the past three days... felt like forever D:

Also I made the tumblr. Shame on me

http://ask-glittershell.tumblr.com/

I'm back baby!!!!

Some concept art for my new tumblr idea as a warmup. I swear I'll probably actually do this one!

Snails is best trap

Just recently downloaded TF2 onto my laptop, so I should be able to play again!

If anyone wants to kick my butt, just pester me on Steam!

OH OH OH! I request a story about Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle's friendship (with plenty of romantic overtones!) before they met Applebloom and formed the cutie mark crusaders.

Okay, did anyone else freak out with delight when the monster in the halloween episode WAS THE SAME EXACT GLUTTONY MONSTER FROM SPIRITED AWAY?!

Tell me I'm not the only person who saw it. Tell me I'm not the only person who fangasmed.

would you call being afraid to talk to girls a phobia?

I'd call it mild Gynophobia.

Some late night introspection (and grappling with a project) has lead to an alarming self discovery, so I'm bumping this thread to sort of lay it out on (electronic)paper for myself and see if anyone has any thoughts on it.

[Panic attack]

I've come to the realization that I have a Professional Phobia.

I'm not scared of or even put off by work, mind you! I give my house a cleaning overhaul once a month, I've helped tons of people move businesses and homes, I've done plenty of volunteer stuff, and I've volunteered to help with organization/data entry at my school a few times!

But the idea of holding an occupation or even worse, OWNING a business (which is the project I'm working on that is giving me more stress than I've ever had before) utterly terrifies me!

I think this is why I've not yet and don't plan to any time soon open commissions. It's not that I have no sense of worth, but I've no sense of fiscal worth. The idea that someone would be paying me to do something I'd already do for free not only feels gross to me, but I'm utterly petrified that I'd either forget about them in my scattered brain, or worse yet I'd fall short of the standards the commission would require! I mean, they WORKED for that money! Probably really hard! I'd need to at the very LEAST match that hard work!

And this isn't limited to just art either! I'm about to graduate my trade school course and the professional world literally terrifies me! I know literally 3 things about economics.

1) Taxes are freaking everywhere, if you do them wrong or not at all you go to jail, and I have no idea how to do them.

2) Over half the planet is somehow operating while under astronomical amounts debt with ITSELF, our own government seems to run on trillions of imaginary dollars that came out of nowhere, and the only country that is seeming to operate in the GREEN is about to collapse under the combined weight of it's own corruption and pollution.

Basically a game of monopoly where only one player is playing dirty and winning, but he doesn't want the game to end so he's letting everyone else steal from the bank each turn.

3) In America you can be fired at any time for any reason with no warning by anyone above you. So if you want to have a job you have to either sleeze your way above the other jerks asap, pray you have a nice boss, or lick boot till all you can taste are leather and shame.

[/panic attack]

TL;DR Krypt is a jobless coward who's too afraid to face the real world and should probably be a stepford wife

Meh. Stuff like this happens all the time, pony or no pony. I'm just glad I don't have to put up with jerk-graffiti down here in suburbia.

Private homes aren't ever targeted by graffiti artists. Vandals maybe, if it's personal. But you won't see an artist tag up a strangers house.

Well considering Gearbox is like, the best gaming company there is... I'm not the least bit surprised.

Holy WOW you do amazing hair! O_O

Um, if I had to give any criticism, I'd say pinkies arm appears a little mishapen to me. It might be the fault of the scanner, but it just looks kinda warped and pretty skinny. Rainbow's body looks great, but her hair looks very monocolor based on how you shaded it. You DEFINITELY have the chops to make it appear more multi-colored though.

Both outfits are amazing and creative.

Rainbow Dash's expression and face just... I dunno, they seem almost generic anime-ish to me. Pinkies face has more depth/personality to it and seems to have a more personalized anime style. That might just be because Pinkie has a more dynamic expression than Rainbow though. That and it's a little rounder (I like round faces).

The only fault I can find with Pinkies face are that her eye are a little high up. But I only noticed that after really looking at it for a bit so it's not that big of a thing.

Gummy also looks kinda funky. I can kinda tell you didn't spend as much time on him as you did the rest of Pinkie based on his claw shape, line smoothness, and perspective. That's totally fine, reptiles are a pain to draw after all! But it does kinda take away from the rest of the image.

Pinkies hair simply blows me away. Like wow... I'm seriously jealous. You'll have to go into detail with me some time on how you approach shading/stroking curly hair like that. It's something I've been struggling with.

It's "anon" because no one wants to be associated with such stupidity.

I respect some graffiti artists. They tag things with their own personal name that they created for tagging. Its not anonymous, its just hard to trace. However if they do something stupid, they know they'll lose cred. And thus they don't.

I'd say love and tolerate, but this doesn't even deserve notoriety. It should just be ignored. Loving and tolerating involves acknowledgement, this shouldn't even be acknowledged.

Totally shifting the topic but-

My friend 'Awal' is a pretty avid graffiti artist. He spends his free time doodling new tags in a notebook and cutting stencils out of plastic folders and notebook covers. He's got five rules for what he does that I've come to admire him for.

Rule 1: Respect other taggers (don't overlap work unless it's profane or distasteful).

Rule 2: Avoid gang turf (duh)

Rule 3: No profanity

Rule 4: No tagging locally owned businesses. Franchise/corporations/civ buildings are fair game.

Rule 5: More harder more better (try to tag hard to reach places. Climb or parkour to your tag spot)

I haven't tagged with him in a long while, but I might try it again some time. My old tags were Sloth, Strap, and the last one I used was actually "Kryptchild" which was the first time I used my name. Of course I wont use Krypt if I do take it up again, that'd be silly.

Any plans on doing custom figures in the future?

As a casual graffiti artist, MLP fan, and elder sibling of an individual with Asbergars syndrome (a form of autism) I find this insensitive and vulgar on multiple levels....

Your saying that now, but just wait until you get to drawing it. :l

Dragons are a lot like ponies, only bigger, covered in scales, reptilian, breath fire, have sharp teeth, long heads, scaley tails, claws, horns, spines, giant leathery wings, and have completely different body types!

So yeah pretty much ponies, only dragons.

This thread is making me hungry...

Sounds like a cover story. Pony shirts are fairly expensive, I don't imagine any non-fans would have the where with all to not only find a place that sells pony shirts, let alone buy one unless they were a fan. I smell deeper angst.

I'm blatantly open with my pony stuff to all my friends/family. My philosophy is that if they're the kind of people who would harass me for something I like, then why the heck would I want to be friends with them?

Heck, I've converted two of my friends, and got another to at least watch the show while she nurses her baby (she really likes it, but she's a super busy power mum).

[colour=#000000]Your type is: [/colour]ENTP

YAY! I'm an inventor!

Sweetie Belle doesn't look nearly as much into it. xD

I blame Canterlots lack of happy Sweetie Belle emoticons. This must be corrected!

Another thing I gotta say is that as good as the artist here was, I'm not sure about the general idea of featuring artists outside of the website. I dunno kinda mildly defeats the purpose of the featured artist section for me.

Yeah that kinda threw me off! I saw the art on there and thought to myself... "waaaaait a second... These don't look familiar!"

Actually took me a while to realize they weren't a member of the forums

You've done lots podcasts before haven't you Noxtrix? I love how much you ham it up ♥

Way to make me wish I wasn't such a fussy secret dumby :<

Do I even need to say it? ...Really?

*ahem*

On years when I don't have a party to attend, I get together with a group of friends and we conspire to dress as horrors and monsters and chase the kids and parents around our neighborhood.

Last year my friend Mike converted and old gas powered weed eater to a VERY LOUD and VERY realistic sounding chainsaw. That thing roared like a beast!

So I watched an episode of the new TMNT cartoon today! It was pretty good actually

It was the episode where the fat guy got a video of the turtles fighting the narcacistic alien cyborg clone guys with a sub plot of Raphiel learning not have such paper skin.

I felt like the anime-esque added visuals done in comic book style were an awkward blend with the CG, though the character design was good and the world was just dark enough to hold to the TMNT roots well.

The fact that they had a clear moral lesson worked into the sub plot without making it overtly preachy is a leap in the right direction, and I loved how they used ACTUAL Japanese and proper etiquette while they were practicing. It wasn't a half attempted racial offshoot like I've seen other cartoons do.

All in all, I'd say there's still hope for modern cartoons. I'm chalking it up with Gravity Falls and MLP as a definate rewatch
