Awesome job on your rainboom awesomness of your banner artwork of Scootaloo keep up the good work !

It's great to be here. And it's been a long time since I read a book, heh. ^^; I over the Eragon series and the hell Hunger Games though! I love most everything! Orchestral, movie/game soundtracks, heavy metal, contemporary, electronic, Punk, D&B, Rap and Hip Hop... As far as groups go I really like the Delgados, The Black Angels, Descendents, Pain (the fun one, not metal), and Tribe Called Quest to name a few.

Oh yeah. Music is a huge influence! I'llamas kind of play out scenes in my head to the music, you know? I'll then freeze a frame I like and draw it. I listen to all sorts of stuff, but depending on the subject I'llamas structure a playlist with matching songs.
-
Sure thing! Thank you for coming by. I'll be seeing you!
-
Totally cool! I got a few youtube vids up that hopefully help. Really tough, haha. ^^; I like most everything that I've made haha. I think that Separation and Serenity are the ones that I particulalry like. Sorry guys I'm on mobile. Typos abound!
-
Easily Pain It black by the Rolling Stones but I listen to all kinds of stuff from a lot of genres. ^^ I always try to listen to stuff that matcjes what I'm drawing in some capacity.
-
I'm Ok! How about you? My record is about 20 hours on that Celestia one where's looking into the sun, Serenity.

Thanks again for stopping by man, it was lots of fun (and I hope it was for you too!). One more thing, here's a link to MLP Forums DeviantArt group, in case you want to join; we'll be happy (of course) to take your art there if you want one more group to submit to: http://mlpforums.deviantart.com/

Oh no problem, stuff happens, it worked out totally fine. Glad you enjoyed yourself and hope to see ya more around here, just if you need a place to hang sometimes. We don't have quite as many high end artists here as DA does, obviously, but we do have a pretty fun bunch of bronies and pegasisters around here. :3

You bet! Thanks again for having me, you guys - it was a lot of fun and you guys made great hosts! I thought we were really winding down for a second but we got a second wind, haha. Take it easy and have a good one! I'll stick around for a bit, sure thing.

Oh dang - I don't really know bud. :[ I mean, no offense, but I think your friend is full of crap in that regard. In writing Night Mares I've come to find that writing is way harder than it looks. To be a great writer takes skill, which takes time and practice to develop just like drawing does, you know? Maybe he doesn't realize it or something, but if I was you I'd let him know that it's been eating at you for a bit. Pals are supposed to build each other up - not tear down. There's a difference between constructive criticism and just bashing, and a comment like that isn't very cool. Sorry to hear that, man. :[ Any pony that I haven't tackled before is going to be rife with challenges, for sure, but as far as difficulty goes I think that Luna or Celestia are toughest to work with. Their legs are all long and stuff and are shaped weird and I need to spend some serious time making them look proportional and stuff. ^^;
-
Oh man - don't make me choose! Haha, if we're talking the messy-mane Royals series then it's far and away Cadance. ^^ In-character and regal, though, definitely Celestia! Easy! Just remember to have shoulders back, chest high, feet apart, head up, and STRUT!
-
Oh, thank you very much! I'm really glad you like my stuff and am honored to be among your favorites. ^^ I really like Jolly Ranchers or Jawbreakers, but those'll mess your teeth up real bad if you eat them a lot, haha. I really enjoy pretzels, though. Ever since I was a kid, I've loved pretzels. They're the best! I would absolutely love to see a princess-focused episode. That is, focused on Celestia and/or Luna. It just has to happen. :'] I'd also want to see Sunset Shimmer go back home to Equestria. That'd be so cool! And then the last thing that I'd want to see is a Big Applejack episode. Totally not biased or nothing, but giant Applejack is adorable and would just be the best. :3 And then a favorite piece? Man, that is really tough to narrow down. ^^; I really do like how worked out, though.

Oh man, where to begin? Haha, I think the most important thing is that you cannot stop. Where most every young artist fails is in getting impatient and calling it quits after only the first year or two. It's got to be a daily thing, and it gets really really hard to stay motivated and it is very easy to get frustrated. You must power through it, though, and experiment/ try new things constantly. A firm handle on perspective early on will pay off greatly in the long run, so I recommend starting with that and just trying to draw the world around you. Every single day, bud. Be it a masterpiece or just a doodle, as long as you are drawing and learning from each thing you make then you are on the right track. There may be droughts where you just feel like you are spinning your wheels for weeks or even MONTHS on end, but that's only natural. Most any professional will tell you the same thing - they worked relentlessly for many years to get to where they are, and they still aren't done. None of us will ever be done, you know?

I'll never forget it, haha. It was this Pinkie Pie that I drew just for the fun of it, trying to make a face like Andy Price would. I added some color to it just cuz, and it somehow found its way into the Drawfriend! This was a number of months after I got into the fandom and dragged my little brother in with me, and I had drawn a few other little things before but all of a sudden he walks in and is all like, 'you're in the drawfriend!" I couldn't believe it and was all like 'nuh uh, stop lying,' but he shows me it and I just kind of went nuts. I was freakin' stoked because to me the Drawfriend represented the best of the best, you know? All of a sudden I was getting watchers and stuff and then things just took off. The Artist Training Grounds happened right after, too, and that's what got me drawing ponies on a daily basis. I thought about comics in the past, but they are really really hardcore. :[ Like, mad props to the guys that pull it off, seriously! There's a lot more that I want to draw and would have a hard time focusing on a comic, haha. ^^; And then we can do anything if we put our MINDS to it!
-
I wouldn't depend on it. ^^; Sorry, bud - I really like to focus on the pony and make it look like concept art with the minimal backgrounds and stuff, you know? A part of me still hangs onto that dream. :'] I'll certainly draw backgrounds again, though, but I always like to reserve them for the special works like that which take upwards of 15 hours.
