Oh my, I know exactly what you mean. Photoshop crashed on me while I was painting snowflakes the other night and I literally screamed "nooo!" Thankfully I saved not too far back.

Saving often is always a good habit to get into. I usually find myself hitting the save hot key every time I make something and think to myself "that looks good."

This is awesome It makes perfect sense for AJ to bowl like that.

Pinkie Pie after a day at the spa with Rarity?

I know that feelin'. Hang in there ponies.

That background is amusing, it makes me realize that fluttershy would have fit in perfectly in the 60s-70s.

Its an interesting thing you did with her nose. Having it be cut in half by her eye certainly has a unique look to it. Was that something you were aiming for?

Is that a third eye that I spy?

Thanks I imagined that Scootaloo grabbed that board off the back of an old sky wagon or something. (also: I was referring to your pinkamenemone pic Kuda)

I don't know what this what is, but I figured he was just about to sneeze.

I don't get the reference, but I'm lovin' the costumes anyway.

Their expressions are priceless.

This is pretty awesome, is it going to be a CD cover for something?

Thanks everypony, it means a lot.

You are very welcome.

Thanks I think I'm finally getting the hang of the different looks stallions can take.

I think the little background swirl turned out great. Not only does it hold everything together, but it gives the whole piece a sense of motion to it. It kind of matches the swirl of her tail, and makes me think that she's just lifted all those objects up in a bit sweeping motion.

This is most excellent. I think its the little things that I like best about the colored version: the fanciful pattern in the floor boards, the little smudges everywhere and the cute little pattern on her bandana-neckerchief thing.

Feels good to get out and stretch doesn't it?

hi hi

Does the soul flame produce heat? I can imagine that might make going to bed a little tricky.

Commando is a type of elite light infantry or special forces, specializing in attacking conventional military targets, as opposed to other special forces which specialize in counter-terrorism, reconnaissance or sabotage. The term commando stems from the Afrikaans word "Kommando," which translates roughly to "Mobile Infantry Regiment." Originally by horseback, since as early as 1652, where it was used to describe bands of militia in the Dutch Cape Colony.

"Going Commando," is likely attributed to the US Vietnam war era, starting on college campuses where it was a reference to the elite military soldiers who were supposedly "always ready." It didn't enter popular culture until the mid 1990s thanks to the Seinfeld episode "The Chinese Woman," in 1994, and the Friends episode "The One Where No One's Ready," in 1996.

At first I thought he was starting fires, but no, he's just being awesome.

Sooo... what is happening? Earth pony magic not working right or something?

Aww... thats so sweet. I admit, I kinda did a double take, thinking those were discord's cotton candy clouds, even though I knew they weren't. (That might be due to lack of sleep though.)

Secrets and lies... Its all secrets and lies with those ponies.
