But for how long? We must prepare our defenses and develop a strategy before they return! But we need someone who's specializes in MLPforum staff Biology, primarily Admin level experienced. I was thinking of summoning the Feld0 but he'd glass the entire forums before helping us. Sgt. , we must summon a specialist! Do you have any suggestions?

When science is involved it's never a bad idea my dear ! Now then, how are we going to stop two demi~gods mad with power before they conquer this thread and then MLPforums?

Hey baby you so fine, you so fine you blow my mind!

I may have possibly commenced the Apocalypse of the Last Poster Wins thread but we will find a way to rectify this problem before it spreads to the rest of the forums. No matter what either of you may do to me or our macaroni art and delicious oatmeal shall pierce your unholy veil, cleansing the seeds of destruction which have been woven unto the very code of this page! Then we'll do the same thing we do every night, try to take over liberate the forums! Hey , you've got my back right?

Of course it worked! I spent the last decade learning how to summon staff members through nefarious means and have perfected this fine art. Ignore that trash can off to the side, it contains only refuse! Excellent! This is the first step towards a brighter, liberated future for MLPforums a- ! Wait, what did you say? What have we done ?!

No no, no summoning ritual here. I ju- I just don't know WHY you would ever think of such a thing! Oh, the mirror behind me? I was just... Incredibly angry, yes that's it! I'm just so angry at some users that I just HAVE to yell their names at a mirror. I just happened to get so angry that my voice just magically shattered my Vintage Mirror and the reverberations was just merely being distorted to the point where you THOUGHT you heard your name being called to this place. So yes, no summoning ritual here, you're imagining things! So go back to doing that of which must be done by you and not your family members to defeat the enemy! , do something!

Nothing ominous, but the mirror may have suddenly shattered into a thousand shards. I may have also heard something say along the lines of "Doom" and "Destruction" and maybe a few plagues here and there. But it's ok, I can fix this with duct tape and a buckets worth of gorilla glue!

Brilliant ! This plan can't fail in any way shape or form, it's fool proof I say! Alright, lets try this again... Still got my Vintage Mirror with me, lets give this another go. @~Chaotic Discord~ . . . @~Chaotic Discord~! @~Chaotic Discord~!!!

I wasn't expecting SBB64 to reply in such a way, I was so sure that what I had to offer would suffice! I didn't plan this far ahead, what do we do?! Before we summon the next individual, we need a backup plan for the initial plan. Obviously macaroni art and a weekly supplies of oatmeal is not enough to bribe influence one of the staff members into helping us rule liberate MLPforums from the law! So... what will?

I knew my ritual would go off without a hitch! *throws Summoning Staff for Dummies into trash* SBB64, we have summoned you here because we are in need of your expertise to liberate MLPforums from Feld0 the law! We are prepared to pay you richly in macaroni art and a weekly supplies of oatmeal if you're willing to assist us in our grand crusade. SBB64, with the powers that be, will you help us in our time of need?

NOT IF I DO IT FIRST!

Even if they ban our IP's, they'll never take away our proxies!

Nah man, ya need to say their name three times before anything will happen. But uh, I'm just going to hide under this rock while you try Feld0 meister.

I shall give the SBB64 8 hours to appear before coming to the conclusion that they're no longer a part of this plane of existence and thus shall summon the Chaotic Discords. I swear, I've done this before!

And thus we shall, starting with SBB64! *grabs tiny mirror* . . . ... ...! !!!!

A theory: If we say a staff members name three times while looking at a mirror they'll appear before us and help our cause. Judging by the ultimate list of ultimate destiny, there's only three staff members who would be appropriate coerced allies to our cause. SBB64 - Chaotic Discord - Zoop

Agreed! But how do we go about liberating MLPforums from the Feld0 law?

I have no idea, you only showed me the book for five seco- . . . Well cheese, now I'm breaking it! There's only one thing to do, overthrow the law!

Hey that's against the law!

But it's ok 'cause Dr. Doom ALWAYS has a backup plan!

Anyone can draw what they see BUT is what you're drawing accurate and proportionally correct? If so, then experiment with dynamic poses and things you can come up with your head. But while I'm here, I want to point something out to you about drawing from reference. Let me tell you my journey of 2D Design, Beginning Drawing and Life Drawing in a nutshell. All three classes range from Beginning to Intermediate difficulty in the art world. While all three classes did teach me different, but incredibly important, fundamentals for drawing, all three of my teachers told me to do the same thing over and over: Look at something and draw it! You may be pondering why the hell they want us to do this, over and over again instead of having us draw something on the fly? Well, until you acquire the fundamental skills to recognize what makes a drawing, you NEED to continually draw from life until you know the basics inside and out. Think of it like sports: An athlete needs to continually train their body and mind to keep up with the physical demands of whichever sport they've chosen to be a part of. If they don't take the time to do the fundamentals until they know it like the back of their hand (such as stretching, corrective dieting, optimal exercise routines, rules, etc.) then they'll be hindered in what they do. If they didn't properly know the rules, they'd easily be kicked out of the game. If they didn't know how to stretch properly, they'd most likely acquire an injury faster than you can say "Bob Marley Loves Chewing Gum." Now why the hell am I telling you my life story? Well, because no matter what you do you'll never really get away from drawing what you see no matter how skilled you are. You can't remember everything you've seen throughout your daily life and more often than not you'll most likely draw something from a reference shot before creating your own variant. It's difficult to create something simply by the willpower of your imagination BUT it becomes much easier to do so once you've acquired a good sense of how things are built in the world. Alright, I promise we're towards the end of my advice column This is the last tidbits of advice before I go and throw myself into bed. First: Visit Ctrl+Paint and check out Matt Khoer's Traditional Drawing section. He's the best (known to me anyway) source of advice when it comes to fundamentals in video format. The next suggestion I have is to READ A BOOK! No seriously, you're going to read a book sooner or later so why wait? See if some libraries have some fundamentals books lying around. One I would personally suggest is Drawing On The Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards. I know, this is boring stuff, but before you can start drawing firefights and epic scenes, ya need to get the basics down my friend. A strong core foundation will benefit you for your years to come in drawing. Ok, I'm done, paragraph ends here now, I SWEAR, COMMA SPLICE! I LIED! If you begin to approach the point where even dynamic poses pose no threat to you then I highly suggest studying photographs of actual horses and ponies. The show simplifies everything, without a doubt, so you'll need to rely on actual photographs or horses/ponies before you to get an idea as to how one accurately depicts values for these equines.
