  1. Pure awesome... Well at least i can say i like it. Really clean and i like clean things... Can i post this on my da? Crediting you ofc!!!

     

    I don't mind, so long as you link my dA page.  It's in my signature.

  2. Can you actually stop taking anything personal in here, he was just using it as an example and discussing it at a personal level adds nothing to this thread.

     

    I'm not taking anything here personal. I'm debating as you are.  If you think otherwise, I'd suggest we move into a private discussion.

  3. I didn't say moderation itself was easier. Clearly, there is more work to be done under the circumstances. I said proactive moderation was easier. Which is the same as saying "Because the entire room is so filled with dirt, it's extremely easy to grab one little bit and throw it out the window."

     

     

    I know what you said and it still doesn't make it easier.  Because even once you've done away with that bit of dirt, you still have the entire rest of the room, and that can be easily overwhelming.  Does that mean the site is understaffed?  Maybe, maybe not.  That's up to them to determine.

     

     

    Moderation is still a job, and yes they do have personal lives. But that doesn't alter the fact that they chose to volunteer. Might I remind you that I was a very active mod while taking on full-time college and work simultaneously. All I mean here is if people care enough, they will find the time to help.

     

     

    Just because you were able to take on that kind of workload and still moderate the forum, doesn't mean everyone else can and should.  People handle stress and workload differently and it's unfair to expect everyone to be on your level, nor should it imply that they are incompetent as moderators.

     

     

    I don't have a problem with NewCalamity, he just happened to be the one who replied to me. I'd have found an example from one of the others if they had popped up in this thread before him.

     

     

    So what you're saying is that you were actively looking for dirt to throw in the face of the first staff member to respond?  How is that any better?

     

     

    That's the last I will have to say on the matter. It's not my intent to attack or hurt anyone, just provide you with a little constructive criticism. That's what the feedback section is all about.

     

     

    Constructive criticism offers advice on how to improve.  All I've seen from you thusfar is passive-aggressive jabs aimed at painting the staff as a whole as a bunch of lazy, narcissistic god-complexes and that's neither a fair nor accurate depiction.

     

    Is the mod team perfect?  Of course not.  Could improvements be made?  Definitely.  But they're people, not some corrupt corporate machine.  Why treat them like one?

  4. Proactive moderation is not any more difficult than it was before. If anything, it's easier with the sheer amount of posts that require moderation nowadays. You don't even need to try to find bad posts as they are literally everywhere. I don't even try finding things, and I come across them all the time. I don't report them myself for two reasons.

     

     

    If bad posts are "literally everywhere", how does that make moderation easier?  That's like saying cleaning the house is easier because dirt is "literally everywhere".

     

     

    It's not my job. If I were to report every bad post I came across, I wouldn't be able to make my own. There's just too many of them. I don't care anymore. The forums have already degraded so much in quality that it's not worth the effort to try and patch things up.

     

     

    Than that's your personal choice.  Moderation isn't exactly a "job" either and apparently people need constant reminders that mods have lives too and aren't just machines dedicated to spending all of their free time digging through thousands of threads to find any thing out of line just to get screamed at and told that they're power-tripping egotistical tyrants.

     

     

    Even the admins themselves think that. (Image taken from NewCalamity's profile) That attitude simply needs to stop.

     

     

    It's not exactly a good idea to use straw-man arguments to demonize someone you have a problem with if you'd like to be taken seriously.  NewCalamity's profile is quite obviously meant to be read tongue-in-cheek.

  5. @, sorry it took so long, but I've finally finished your request.  You didn't really specify a pose or anything, so I drew a headshot.  Hope you don't mind.

     

    I also feel it's another step back in my progress, so it's not that good, sorry.  ;n;

      Take it from here. Though you could make the big edges of the star a bit smaller.

    3. Terra is a knight to the core. Even to other mares he acts like a noble knight because he wants to be like the legend of Artorigus and the Noble Stallions of the round table. In his free time he takes care of his armor, he knows metalworking/smithing so he helps others through that. If he has free time he reads novels about knights or goes to charity organisations and helps. He wants to be a Royal Guard.

      Like that other guy that requested.

       

      You could take this request if you're not swamped or anything. Oh and i can wait however much you want. Is there any way you want me to simplify this more? Sorry for the last time....

     

     

    I think that's doable.  Added to the queue.  :)

    1. Terra Lionmane

      Made by yours truly Dilarus. The characteristics in general of this pic should be implemented. I mean besides him standing like a human... The Lion Style mane/ tail, the bat eyes, the scar on the eye. As far as colors go you could use the pony creator image ((if you're gonna color it that is...))

      If not that's just okay!

    2. I want the star-symbol on the shoulder of this war-lion picture with the center ruby be like flames. A much much smaller version of that.

      img-1999439-3-warwarlionepic_concept.jpgHere is another pic to help you.

    4. A smilling face with the stance of the Lion i gave you before. I would prefer the full body pic so i can have someone color it and then be able to use this for future references.

       

      You could take this request if you're not swamped or anything. Oh and i can wait however much you want.

     

    I'm afraid that's a bit beyond what I'm capable of doing at the moment.  Sorry.  :(

  8. attachicon.gifvulpin.jpg I was wondering if you could draw this character here

     

    hugging this character here attachicon.giftaryn.png

     

    Or possibly the first character wearing a sweatshirt.

     

    Whenever you have an open slot that is. *hugs* biggrin.png

    Hey there, Gauge!  Unfortunately, I'm not yet confident enough in my abilities to draw a sweatshirt, so is there some other pose you'd like me to try?

  9. Also, BTW I changed Sugar Song's name to Violet Rose. She still has the same look its just her Cutie Mark is a rose instead of that star, is that okay : 3 ? 

     

    Yeah, that's perfectly fine.  Just make sure you put a reference here somewhere, whether by editing your previous post or making a new post.

  10. @@Arcanel, I finished your request.  Did some experimenting with shading, dunno if it really turned out all that great.

     

     



    May I make a request? Or are you all filled up right now?! If so.. um... here's a random OC I made in the Pony OC maker (I don't normally use the OC maker but i thought it was better to use that so I could have some kind of reference art piece ya know?) 

     

    I don't really know what to do with this OC, I might build on her a bit and maybe put her up for adoption someday or something, or I might, if I can, intertwine her into my other OC's stories. 

     

    Her name is Sugar Song - http://sta.sh/02g10rnm0ujw

     

    I'd appreciate a sketch happy.png Take all the time you need!

     

    Added you to the queue.  smile.png

  11. I'd like to request a drawing from you again. If that's okay with you, I mean img-1901044-1-sad.png

     

    If not, just ignore this :3

     

    My character Lyona needs a little bit more love. Her mane is supposed to be kinda lion-ish, like in the picture. 

     

    I'm really glad that you like my sketches enough to make a second request, but I can only allow one request per person.  Sorry.  :(

     

    Hi, I was wondering if you could do a sketch of my OC Inclement Blitz :3 She's really shy but she loves playing video games with her friends (especially pokemon!). She also loves eating so she's kind of chubby, in an adorable way. She also loves playing with lightning because she's a weather pegasus.

     

    All of her reference pictures are under my signature. Make sure you scroll all the way down to the "other" section and look at the spoiler. I'm pretty sure there's a link to her custom eyes and her cutie mark. I kind of wanted her sitting down, smiling.

     

     

     

    img-1901296-1-fluttershy_lip_bite_by_whi

     

    Just like this but with a different, adorable facial expression. 

     

    I was also wondering if you could put a pokemon hat on her, because I'm really excited for pokemon X and Y coming out next week :3 Here's a picture

     

    img-1901296-2-1376696336752.jpg

     

    It's totally cool if you don't want to put the hat on her, you can just draw her sitting down if you want.

     

     

     

     

    Thanks in advance! Btw, I really love your style, you're really good :3

     

    Added to the queue!  :)

  12. It is always pleasing to see how an artist has grown over time, and I can see that from when you began this thread to the present that you have improved quite a bit.  And you will only get better from here.

     

    As for your most current pieces, I really have no critique with the exception of the eyelashes and eyebrows clipping through the hair on the Lyra drawing (moreso with the eyelashes as the creates a tangent and cause some visual confusion with the hair).

     

    I cannot wait to see your future efforts and I wish you the best of luck!

    Thank you!  ^^

     

    The eyelashes/brows clipping through the hair is more of a stylistic choice.  I know there are those that don't like and I might experiment with not doing that.  I'm not really good enough yet to be able to add the face wrinkles and lines that help define the expression otherwise.

  13. So I did a sketch of Lyra in a stream.  Did a lot of experimenting (mainly the eye style and shading) and I'm actually pretty happy with the results.

     


    Did this one as a gift for a friend of mine from Tumblr.  I think this pretty much affirms that Photoshop will be be drawing program now instead of SAI.  Might still use SAI for lines, though.

  14. @@Starshine,

     

    I'm glad you got back to me because I was rather proud of this.

     

    Looking sweet and shy and ready for the Running of the Leaves, it's Autumn Glow!

    And she called it "Sweetie Bot"

    attachicon.gifFirewire.jpg

    C'mon folks, I HAD to.

     

     

    I completely forgot to comment on this, I'm sorry.  :(

     

    I love it, man!  It's funny and a creative take.  I never really thought of having her working on Sweetie Bot.  Thank you so much!  :D

  15. @Vexx3

     

    Here is your 'finished' request and though I am happy enough on how this turned out, I still feel it is missing something.  And that something is shading and proper lighting but because I do not wish to run the possibility of ruining this (as I have done countless times), I have left it out for now.  If and when I do revisit this one to give it its proper finish, I will be sure to update this,  Until then...sorry it could not be more.

     

     

     

     

    And I think I may have overdone it with the cutie mark and pony references.

     

    DUDE OH MY GOD!  I can't thank you enough, this is just... aaaAAaaA it's just freaking beautiful!  No need to be sorry about anything -- I am way more than happy!  :D

  16. Wow, your artwork is really impressive! 

     

    I hope that it would not be too much of a bother if I made a request for my OC, Firewire.  She's shy, but kind of quirky and loves to fiddle and tinker with technology.  Feel free to skip right over this if you get too busy.  ^^

  17. I've added the following change to the original post.  Seeing as this is the way I've been handling the requests, I felt it was a necessary change.

     

    There will be three open slots in addition to limitless queue slots.  Requests will be done in waves.  Once three requests are finished, the next three in the queue will be accepted.

     

     

    Okay, but I did say or the first pony wearing a sweatshirt, so could you possibly do that when you have some spare time or a spot opens up?

     

    Oh, that you did.  Sorry.  Added you to the queue.

  18. @@Vexx3, Hey there Vexx! :) I was wondering that, since you finished Concord's drawing, if you'd have an open slot right now. If it's not and I should just wait until you update yourself, then ok!

     

    Heya Arcanel!  

     

    The way I've been handling the slots is in waves.  I take in three requests then once I finish those, I take three more.  I pretty much go in order of those who posted requests so there's a few people in line after this wave.  

     

    If you post your request now, it basically secures you a spot in a future wave.  :)

    I apologize, but this is in the original post:

     

     "I will not accept requests with multiple characters (one pony per request).  If you have multiple OCs, pick ONE."
