I scaled the picture up to a larger size, then used GIMP with a 10 pixel pen with the smoothness option turned up to max. Then I scaled the picture back down. Now that you mention it, she does look egg-headed, doesn't she? It looks like her head becomes huge as it goes from the face to its top. For the mane, yeah, it'd probably look better if it appeared like you said. The way I drew it makes it look like the hair was glued onto her head. Or do you mean that it looks like she doesn't have any hair to the left of her ear? I did intentionally leave the tail out. I guess I was thinking that, if I did draw it, not enough of it would be showing, which would just result in some confusing extra lines. I don't know why I thought that though, kind of silly of me.

I was inspired to sketch up some Torchlight 2/Pony fanart when I accidentally combined some low level, newbie equipment. It's not anything fancy, but I thought it looked cool! Not an artist by any means, I felt an outline of the original sketch was good enough, and that trying to color it would only make it an eyesore. Anyways, in the spoiler is the picture I referenced. Enjoy!

The animation and style/character designs were very appealing in my opinion, but the over-the-top use of gross-out humor and such detracted from my overall enjoyment of it. Still an awesome series; I could probably watch it with no sound and still be entertained. I kind of wish Brief looked as cool as he did earlier in the series (he looks awesome with his hair pulled back!). I guess hanging out with the likes of Panty and Stocking toughened him up? And Twilight compared to Stocking? Maybe in the way that their both more intelligent. I don't think Twilight's into bondage though. Kneesocks is my favorite though, she looks so cool.

I've actually been neglecting giving Lethal (my tulpa) hugs... if I'm not imagining us in our wonderland, then I'm pretty much just talking to her. I need to get on that immediately! I made sure to hug her from the moment I imagined her form, and I feel happier for a moment when I imaging us doing so. We changed her appearance again, too. A few days ago while visualizing, a picture of an anthro/furry character popped into my mind, so I matched her hair, coat color and eyes to match, and felt like she looked amazing. I felt the same way the last time this happened, so I hope I'm doing something right. Speaking of appearance, I should probably sketch another picture of her current form. (How many times will I have to do this?) I'm also trying to create a mind-voice for her through reading books. I try to read the text in either her voice or mine with as much "sound" as possible, alternating between us ever few paragraphs. I try and imagine her sitting in front of me, moving her mouth as I think the words in her voice. I don't know if this is the most efficient method, but it's the easiest way I could think of. I've only heard a few words from her since I've began this tulpa business, so I want to make sure that when she does talk, I don't mistake it for my own thoughts. Besides that, I'm trying to work on keeping her presence imposed throughout my day. It's actually hard for me to focus on her presence and talk to her at the same time, guess I'm just bad at multitasking, but I know I'll improve.

There are a few things I wouldn't mind getting this year: - A large wrench or wooden hammer; I could outfit the wrench with a custom grip of my own, and go to town smashing fruit to my little heart's content! - Some MLP stuff. Either the Season 1 DVD or the Famous Friends pocket pony set (it has the FABULOUS~ Rarity, Photo Finish and Hoity Toity). I'll probably buy this stuff myself, though. I don't really include my family in any of my broniness. - Some music albums. If only I knew of more artists that actually have physical album releases. I don't like asking for specific items for my gifts, because it takes the fun out of receiving them. If they really don't know what to get me, they can just not get me anything, I don't mind. My little sister is hand-knitting me a scarf, using yarn of grey, dark grey and a light pastel green. I can't wait to see it finished!

1. check e-mail (always empty...) 2. check mlp forums (remains open throughout) 3. youtube click-fest for music 4. feel inspired, yet procrastinate doing anything At least I find some good music now and then... ;A;

I can relate to that second picture, except it's more like *entire family argues* *doesn't want to hear any of it; goes upstairs* and then they accuse me of hiding and being unsocial. Back in my day, there were only 150 pokemon... and Charizard couldn't fly, but that there Pidgey could!

Is she vocal enough to decide on her own? If not, is it something that you honestly want her to have? Whatever your choice is, I feel that all it comes down to is whether you want to spend the time working on that part of her form.

At the moment I only have a few cheap balisongs and a small wooden mallet that my sister picked out for Christmas. My first balisong was of incredibly poor quality (the paint chipped off and the pins holding the blade began to separate), but it was by far my favorite one for flipping. I have a new one, but it's quite heavy and likes to stick when I try to flip it. The wooden mallet is just that, nothing special. I wish I could have a longer two-handed one though, and a giant wrench would be nice as well. I'd really like to get my hands on a rapier, even though they don't seem as practical as a regular blade.

Just after I posted my previous sorry-sap-post, I was inspired to try visualizing some more, just trying my best. I tried the prism smash thing you suggested, Weapon. My tulpa was sitting on the bed in our wonderland, and I imagined a glass triangle floating next to her and watched her smash it. "Another!" I said, and made a second one appear to her left which she smashed. I had us stop then; I felt like we could quickly become destructive if we continued. We ended up having a very rushed (less than 30 minute) session, but it was very fast paced and fun. I think she jumped and clung onto my shoulders/face at some point and made me fall over. XD I think I have more trouble visualizing in the first person. Its like my mind wants to see events play out from a third point of view.

For the last week or so, I haven't felt like I've been able to force. Usually I'll force at night before I sleep, lying down, but I tend to fall into a half-sleep state where my mind wonders randomly until I manage to regain focus (this is great when I want to take a nap; I can think about my tulpa AND not feel sick afterwords! ). Sometimes, though, I'll have completely successful sessions, being able to remain in focus the entire session without any feelings of tiredness. I feel most comfortable lying down, which makes me feel like I can interact with my tulpa more easily, so long as I don't doze off. Since around last week, however, I've hardly been able to concentrate while forcing sitting up, whether it's day or night. By no means am I bored with my tulpa (the thought of treating one like some throw-away scares and disgusts me...), instead I think it could be that I'm bored with my daily life, and that the lack of personal satisfaction is causing me to feel restless. I'm mostly concerned that we're not making much progress when I force while lying down, but my shaky visualization skills discourage me from sitting down and working on my tulpa's form or our wonderland. I've had short spurts of clarity, but the moments that this happens seem to be unpredictable. Basically, I think I've grown extremely lazy with forcing. I have been including my tulpa in whatever activity I'm doing, and have been trying to develop her voice. If I'm reading a book, I make sure to read all of the text to her, and think the male characters' dialogue in my mind-voice, and the female characters' dialogue in her voice. Still, I'm worried that, by me not visualizing her and myself in our wonderland, I could be missing important changes that she is having, appearance or otherwise. I feel like I haven't even been trying lately, that my recent lack of visualizing is causing me to fail her in some way. Of course, I'm not going to suddenly stop forcing or talking to her, but I think I need to try something new during one of our sessions, make things interesting. I think I'm feeling signs of her sentience more often, but it isn't anything recognizable yet, more like strange momentary "influences" in my thoughts, if that makes any sense. [Edit] Geeze. Only now, hours later, do I realize how stupid my post was. Maybe I should call the waaambulance for myself? I don't know why I was feeling so sorry for myself, when the only way to improve my visualization skills is to visualize, and the only way to focus more is to focus... I think I was just psyching myself out for a while when I actually needed to relax and try my best. Seriously, it wasn't more than two hours after I posted this that I was able to imagine my tulpa and I hanging out in our wonderland. I feel really stupid now. :/
