Sunset Spark

Genre : Action, PvE. (Some 1v1 in-clan dueling on it's way, but, purely recreational) Coverage : Global. Game is p2p-based and seperated into different regions to avoid too much lag. Activity rate : 1.5m+ accounts, roughly 10k active accounts. (estimated number, I have no idea) Warframe is now in Open Beta. (has been for a month or so) p.s. If this thread is not allowed, please be deleted. (yes, I am trying to share a game I find enjoyable to many)

There's a game I'm playing right now that's called Warframe. It's basically a tps pve-based on space ninjas. Anyways, I need help picking a clan name. The clan isn't made for bronies, anyone can join, but, I want the name to be MLP-based. Anyone care to suggest a few? Some I've considered - Cutie Mark Crusaders (of course) - Elements of Harmony (still expected) - Friendship Brigade (don't know what I was thinking) - My Little Pony (yeah... too bland for a clan name) the character '%' is not allowed. Any others? My imagination is sorta limited right now.

No particular order for these. Okami Shinobido Digimon Rumble Arena series Bloody Roar 4 Musou Orochi series Touhou 12.3 (others, too, but this one is a must) Recettear Princess Maker (r18 game, related to ^^^, cannot be mentioned, if you get it, then you know) Persona 3, 3 FES, 4. Only. Yes. Only these in the SMT series. Others, too, just not 'favourites'.

Sadly, I agree, Strike Witches never struck me as 'deep' in any sense. However, considering the character cast, I never saw it as something to be judged for it's plot. Where do you find 'hate' for Strike Witches? I get that people say it has no real story or plot. That's perfectly understandable. How is THAT supposed to be hate? The series was CLEARLY targeted at men and had no implication for relatable detail. Soul Eater gained perfectly valid reasons. While retaining excellent characters, they managed to screw up an ending which could have gone SO MANY WAYS by picking the one that had minimal impact. Here, allow me to rub it in. (I have to) : SOUL EATER DID NOT GET UNFAIR HATE. THEY ASKED FOR IT. THEY BLOODY ASKED FOR IT. -rage- Even Bleach deserves credit for their 'SUDDEN OVERPOWER MODE VICTORY' stuff compared to what Soul Eater did. p.s. If it makes you feel any better, the Soul Eater manga is coming along quite nicely, if you're into it. (no, I don't think it ended yet, not that I'm 100% sure) edit : I do not know how it went in the manga or if the ending was a setup for a 'hopeful' second season. I will judge it as I saw it. It was probably the most anticlimatic ending there was.

Sorry for not replying to this sooner, I missed yours when I last read it. (or it wasn't there). ------------------------ Sword Art Online - The novel was a bit long and swindly, most of the content from it didn't make it into the anime cut, though, that's not why it's hated. The Anime itself, if you recall, was split into the SOA and ALO arcs respectively. While the SOA arc was full of interesting character progression and fascinating concepts with an enigmatic villian and soul-wrenching social-moral dilemmas, the second arc, which also ended this 'first' season of SOA, was the most generic thing in anime yet. "Dedicated hero saves beloved fiancee who is the most generic dere princess yet" "Jealous, petty sub-villian antagonist who couldn't even compare to the main villian who had so much depth, or none at all, before" "Ending was super lame. Sugo can afford a lab to test brains but CAN'T AFFORD A BLOODY GUN TO SHOOT KIRITO with?". Bleach is just kinda dragging on with very dull plot lines and to-be-expected action with no interesting buildup. It has the most generic main character. (subpar idiot with natural talent and brash manners. remind you of EVERYONE?) Suspense? I admit it's flashy, but what suspense? It's like watching a contest of "see who gets stronger in the next 5 minutes and the one who does wins". ------------------------ Honestly, while I admit SOA does not deserve to be completely thrown apart, the reason for it's hate isn't 'unfair'. Even if the first half is excellent, the next 12 episodes being what it is, they actually sorta deserve SOME grief for that. ------------------------ There are only a few anime listed here that I have to acknowledge, have 'unfair' hate for what they are. Dragonball. Newer anime enthusiasts will hate on it for the generation it is from. They jump straight into complications and forget the basis. Naruto. It may have way too many fillers, however, the show itself is moderately deep. Soul Eater. Aside from Maka's terrible voice and the stupid ending, soul eater was a moderately unique series. Elfen Lied. As mentioned, it's petty and a bit dark in the wrong places, but still a classic. ------------------------ ADDITIONAL One more series, I have to mention. Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Yes, it gets hate. I've been trying to share it with my newer anime friends who aren't accustomed to the 'sort of old' stuff. Those of you who understand, though, why I find it unfair when TTGL gets labelled as a sub-par Gundam. Calling it a MECH ANIME. Okay, it is a mech anime of sorts, though, if you understand, MECH HAS VERY LITTLE TO DO WITH THE AWESOMENESS DESPITE BEING EVERYWHERE. I've even had people who compared it to Power Rangers because of the 'MECH COMBINE' concept.

The three mainstreamers. Naru, OP, Bleach. Though, a lot of the hate is from fans of each of the series for the others. I'm part of the OP side. Gurren Lagann - Looked down upon by 'newbie' enthusiasts for being a 'mech' anime. (who watches this for MECH?) Who is "most" people? It's a ranked anime even among enthusiastsWhere do you find Angel Beats HATERS? I've never met any. p.s. try out Ano Hana. It would suit you, hopefully. No, this anime is a legend as a genderbender series.People are called perverts for liking kid's shows, too. The series itself is not hated, it's awesome. Fairy Tail The series itself has a decent plot and fair characters with heavy emphasis on "NOBODY GOOD SHOULD EVER HAVE TO DIE." I say it gets unfair hate because "I" hate it. Erza was the only decent character with a plausible background. Natsu is the generic 'Luffy'. (seriously, too many similarities) Laxus... awesome, but they only gave him one arc. What a killjoy. They suck at telling the story in a fascinating way. (I stopped watching round the S rank tests) Jellal should either have mortally wounded, killed or died at the hands of Erza. Forreal, he's the most baseless character in the series. (not the most in anime history, but clearly in the ranks) Well, I think I can relate. Most of the characters are awesome, but I think, I know why it's hated, for I know why I hate it. First : Maka's voice. The most backward choice of voice for her, period. Second : Tsubaki x Blackstar. Didn't get enough screentime. Eff. Third : The ending. Go read the manga, you'll understand. Fourth : Still the ending. Wtf is with that sudden plot twist and takeover. Fifth : Without any ACTUAL context, Kishin, the only villian as good as Medusa, dies from a PUNCH. Sixth : Eruka. MORE SCREENTIME NEEDED. Seventh : Mabaa. Hmm, could've used more details.

I would deem anyone capable of estimating their own intelligence as 'smart'. We can all read, write and learn. Our intelligence, based on our estimation, is almost always above average. A better question would be 'how knowledgeable are you', a question with a more 'measurable' scope.

Ponies make everything better. EVERYTHING. -today I learned there is an emote for brohoofing... finally, an emote I actually like- Too bad it doesn't really work with all fonts. Testing : (\ Cool. Is this what Harlem Shake is, though? For awhile I thought it was just people having seizures.

Digimon Rumble Arena, two games for it, one on Ps1 and one on Ps2. Needs a sequel with EVERY DIGIMON BEFORE EXCEPT FOR THE FUSION SERIES. Shinobido. 2. A real sequel, not the nonsense that came out for psp or psv. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9cHslfZQ8A

I don't really feel like showing off my works or proving myself, but, if help is what you want, I wouldn't mind offering. I'm still a beginner myself, so try not to take what I say too deeply, it's just advice from a fellow beginner. I hope this helps. First off, you don't need to bother with the skeletal structure if you don't want to, and it probably won't help much since most skeletal forms aren't shown in MLP as all bodily functions are actually rather liquid-like. (if you do want, google for 'equine skeleton' and 'mlp skeleton' accordingly) Still, if you want to learn to draw with some accuracy, you need to work on your natural observation and understanding abilities. I'll provide a method I was taught to use. Once you're really good, you don't need to work with it anymore. (I'm not even close to it, yet) (original image) First, the Equestrian pony's head is generally an egg(yes, all ponies are eggheads), just a bit more rounded. (see the black lines) All other additional stuff like wings, ears, eyes, etc(shown in red here) are sort of like add-ons. They're just glued to the head(very literal) TAKE THIS INTO ACCOUNT, when I say GLUED I mean it literally. If the head is rounded, you should also take into account that the glued parts will curve to fit it! Colts/stallions have the exact same base head, I believe, with different add-ons. The eyes are slightly different. Because of the nature of this cartoon... pony eyes are actually flat. (or almost flat) They're very much STICKERS. Of course, you still need to understand where to place them. Edit : Forgot to mention. Take note of the expressions as the addons may change. (ears flop down, mouth shape changes, etc) Be careful to note that if you turn the base of the head, the rest will turn with it! (this might take some time to grasp properly, so just keep trying) Note, that the height, position, distance and size of the add-ons will drastically affect the appearance of your pony. The MANE is very much like our hair. If you've never drawn hair before, take note, it ALWAYS comes from SOMEWHERE. Hair cannot just be plastered on, it has to have a source+direction. (look in the mirror...) For ponies, their manes are sourced STRAIGHT down the back of their neck, starting somewhere near the top of the egghead base. Their necks are basically just ovals with a the top being a circular curve that wraps around their head. Try and use this method to decipher the rest of their body structure. (note that the age, gender and "species" have differences) ------------------------ ------------------------ ------------------------ Here are three basic points of drawing that any artist should possess and work on if they don't have it yet.
