      Eminem hurts your brain? Get out of here!

  4. Well here goes... any artists interested in a challenge? :Dhttp://mlpforums.com/topic/77904-seeking-a-song-cover-artist/

  5. Hello my friends of many artistic talents! Today I come before you humbled by my lack of a cover image for an upcoming song! Before I begin I would like to state this: I have rather high standards, and thus I'm not completely against paying an artist for their time-and-effort. (Within reason. There is only so much I can afford as a jobless highschool student.) I am an orchestral composer, one who strives to provide a story in their pieces. This particular piece that I have been working on for several months now, better translates into an album. This album is called "The Travesty of Nightmare Moon." It revolves around the concept behind Luna's Transformation, and Celestia's struggles with Nightmare Moon. It is a direct sequel to my previous piece, called "Harmonize." Harmonize So, basically the situation is I would rather not use premade art for my piece once more. I have searched and searched and nothing satisfied me. (One reason being I found only images everyone else had already used.) I want something "original" and created specifically for this piece. I know it is highly unlikely that I'll get any quality art for free, which is why I say I may be willing to pay, however I am making this thread just to see if anyone would bite. (You don't know until you try right?) I'm looking for someone who can either draw A cover based on what they imagine while listening to the piece (so far completed) A cover displaying Nightmare Moon and Luna back to back, with Celestia in the middle. (Probably very emotional. Just think movie cover.) Of course, I am simply the musician. I know little about art, so if you're a very creative and imaginative artist then you'll likely prefer option one. Here is a Preview of the piece: https://pony.fm/tracks/1660-preview-the-travesty-of-nightmare-moon And now I will wait nervously.
  6. Might have to open up a "Searching for Artists" thread soon. This song is nearing completion...

  7. NaNoWriMo is stupid. :/

      It's not, for people with no work or school, or simply have a lot of free time. Sadly, I'm not one of them. :P

      I'm more referring to the concept behind it; Quantity over Quality.

    3. Sky Warden

      Sky Warden

      Ah, yes. That thing. Quantity over quality. Something inappropriate but well, it's a pretty good concept for making your first draft. You're meant to polish it later after the NaNoWriMo.

      Prior to that, I tended to write description, vocabulary, and voice quite decently. NaNoWriMo hardwired me into writing more in quantity more than quality, like explaining far too much and not paying attention to a character's voice. I had to re-learn to write better and into a style that made me more comfy.

       

      Ironically, writing in script format allowed me to focus on how to get the characters' voices right.

      Hmm... that's the mentality my Writing 12 teacher is forcing on us. She's getting us to do NaNoWriMo because we're a writing class and she said quite clearly "Go for quantity over quality for this!" A mentality I don't agree with.

      With school and whatnot I won't have time, but I'm making advance plans for next year! In the meantime I'll just continue working on my several fanfics and script editing :P

  13. Heeeeere's Marcato with some Symphonic Metal from Within Temptation! My brother just recently introduced me to this band, and I'm absolutely loving it. :3
  14. The problem here is you're using the wrong flash! There pretty much are no puppets for flash 8 as far as i'm concerned. The version you have is ancient. Most of the flash puppets are made for Adobe Flash CS4 - CS6. (I have CS6 myself.) In short you'll have to use one of those newer versions of flash. Flash doesn't work well with using new files in old version.
  15. I think the lawful/chaotic revolution is over.

  16. My friends and fellow forumites. Erfrap. That is all.

  17. I am unpredictable when it comes to volunteering for projects.

      Ditto, because stuff always happens. I volunteer with great enthusiasm and gran plans, only for something to come along an steal all of my time and energy.

  18. Hm, I'll be watching this project. I've been looking at getting involved as a music composer in a project for a while now. If you're still interested in sound/audio specialists and musical composition I have experience in orchestral composition and film scoring. Examples: https://pony.fm/tracks/1100-harmonize https://pony.fm/tracks/1238-1st-movement-nightshadow For more examples, click here for my Pony.fm page.
