    Well, there you have it- A random doodle I was in a call with a friend who was actually drawing something.
     
    My only problem(s?): 1. What the heck shall I do for a body? Like, pose, clothes, etc. 2. ...Name? 3. BIROS.
     
    This really useful and not-a-complete-waste-of-several-seconds/minutes-of-your-life-depending-on-your-internets was brought to you by a bored, sick, 15 year old.

    As you may have been able to tell, I have indeed started on this new fic: The Adventures of two best friends.
     
    Link: http://www.fimfiction.net/story/69853/the-adventures-of-two-best-friends
     
    Yeah, It's my first shot at a proper fic, with decent layout, style, and cuteness. Yup, cuteness, from me! ..I'm trying my best, but I've never written anything so nice and friendly before (No, seriously, usually someone gets killed, but no, not this time..)
     
     
    I've already worked out what I'm doing for the next chapter, but any suggestions are welcome.
    Could do with some useful feedback. Nice as it is; telling me to go to rehab for an 'adventuring addiction' is not that helpful, contrary to popular belief.
     
    The next chapter will probably be out on Saturday or Sunday, after that I'll have a huge load of free time, so we can expect a few chapters over the Christmas holidays, (Mainly because we'll be going up to my Relative's place for a while, and he has no Wi-Fi, so I'll just take my Netbook and write!...)
     
    Any suggestions, criticalness, cover-art ideas, questions, general randomness, Blueprints for the new secret weapons, etc. are welcome,
     
    ....I thought of something to say here, but I've forgotten now....
     
    Thanks in advance for any help, etc.

    Right then, It's been a while since I started writing fics again.
    This time however, I've learnt all about the 'New dude - Skip line, type, finish speech, start post-speech thingy.
     
    Basically, I've improved drastically, an' now I'm ready to show that and buck-start my writing again.
    During my Hiatus-y thing, I've read a few too many fics so now my writing skills are no longer what I was taught (poorly) at school by the (Failing) English Dept., No, My style is now easier to read, less likely to lose you and altogether, better.
     
    Anyway, From now on, I'm gonna start posting my progress here. It'll mostly be in two different forms:
    -Links to Fimfiction, for when I've completed a chapter or done a large amount of work on/written a large amount of a new chapter.
     
    -GoogleDocs/Drive links OR, if it's not a massive amount, a straight C&P into a blog entry if it's just a test/taster or for some criticism on a selected section.
     
    NEW THINGS:
     
    FInally, after the best part of a year, I've gotten some ideas and motivation (And style) to begin work on TFotKoE Chapter 3! The Fall of the Kingdom of Equestria (TFotKoE) Is based in a semi-post-apocalyptic Equestria. This Equestria-verse has been shattered into two parts: Eastern and Western Equestria, governed by one of the royal sisters.
     
    I'll answer any questions on that as long as you have actually read (Or attempted to read due to my odd, clumped-up style when I wrote chapters 1 & 2) The fic.
     
    LINK: http://www.fimfiction.net/story/20176/The-fall-of-the-kingdom-of-Equestria
    (Sorry about the fairly terrible description, I'll update that soon, also, point out any mistakes so I can fix them.)
     
    2 ACTUALLY NEW THINGS:
     
    New fic: The Equestrian Mafia, my first HiE, combining stereotypical Russians, Discord and some form of pretty, green, mystical gems. Humor, fairly light, dark/sad parts expected though...
     
    New fic: <Currently Unnamed> A fic based on a young filly, Myst, and her terrible nightmares and how she and her best friend, Stormy Skies, try to help her cure them....And cause a fair bit of classical Filly mayhem during the course of that. Hopefully a Cute, heartwarming and generally happy tale about two friends helping each other and trying and to help anyone else with their problems too.
     
    Ideas? Post 'em of PM 'em if you have any relating to any of this.
    (Note, 2 are being planned and they have been started.)

    New software, New day.

    By Alleviate,

    Today, I found a nice, shiny piece of freesoft.
    GraphicsGale, an epic Pixel-art and sprite maker....Free too.
     
    Just messing around on a first shot, I made something better than most of my former hard work!
     
    Screw you Paint XP, I have Gale now
     
    As usual, any criticism is welcomed, feel free to take my art, flatten it, roll it up, throw it aside, launch it into orbit, drown it in lava/acid/gravy/Etc.
     
    Thanks in advance for any....Stuff.

     
    I'll get a bigger pic up another time, I'm just working with a small canvas/PC.

    Tulpa project Buck-Start!

    By Alleviate,

    Hi there,
    Whew, it's been a while since I've hosted a post...
     
    Anyway, this is about my Tulpa and her progress.
     
    I'll do a run down of my starting things,
     
     
    1# Her name is Jess, I kinda want a second name, but she can tell me that herself if she wants one Once she's split,
     
    2# I'll refer to 'Splitting' a lot, it means (Not as bad as it sounds, don't worry ^-^) the moment when she becomes truly sentient,
     
    3# This is a project I'm putting a lot into, expect updates once I get going properly.
     
     
    ______________________________________________________________________
    If you don't know what a Tulpa is, Google it and use the 'Tulpa.org' link, It's best.
    ______________________________________________________________________
     
    So far, I've been narrating a lot to her, I can kinda feel something, not sure too much though.
     
    I narrate out-loud and mentally,
     
    I got a weird feeling earlier, maybe caused/sent by her. I suddenly felt the urge to kneel on the pavement....In the dark, at night, while walking the dog...I did so because it felt right.
     
    I do 'forcing' sessions fairly often of about a half hour - 3/4 hour due to my lacking concentration over long times.
     
    That's all I've really got so far,
     
    Any notes, tips, questions, Etc. I'll do my best to answer or do (if it's a tip or something....)
     
    -Joe & Jess -
     
    ^-^

    Well, this is my first-ever proper Pixel-By-Pixel project,
    It's a simple picture of an OC...I'm not sure what or who it is or anything, I was just messing about when the ideas came.
     

     
    Recommendations for eye colour?
    Also, style?
     
    Please, point out any, And I do mean ANY, points for improvement, be it colour, form, shading, future-plans, Etc.
     
    I'm hoping to have a few more pieces uploaded soon, including the development stages of this piece, mainly so I can use it for reference.
     
    __________________________________________________________________________________
    Disregard all the below, It's just notes to myself,
     
     
    Notes: What the hell is up with that body? Something seems a bit off...Work on it: Find ref. pic./ using Twi?
    Any base body, roughly similar.....
     
    Horn?
    Re-colour.....Earthen? - IS EARTHEN.
     
    Fix, Fat PC, Re-install XP, find hidden partition, boot with slave drive/master drive corrected....
    Use Paint.NET on Desktop, fine-up, fix edges, soften hardlining.
    _________________________________________________________________________________
     
    Proportions: Is this closer? I'm trying to find a decent guide for them, some people said that this drawing had mostly correct props.

    FIC UPDATE...Finally..

    By Alleviate,

    As said- The update is complete! Finally!
    It took a fair while, and is a bit on the short side, but now my field is set, and I'm back in the flow after dealing with several problems, both Fic-related, and personal.
     
    the next chapter will be longer and will be out a little faster than this one.
     
    Suggestions ARE taken into consideration, so, y'know, leave 'em if you have 'em.
     
    Let's see what happens next..

    Well, this was a weird one, as I'm sure my C&P doc will say. I honestly don't know what the heck inspired this.
     
     
    2nd dream: Amnesia, witches, and weird flesh-blobs.
     
    Well, this is nice, a second dream so close to my first.
    Anyway, here's what went down, as best as I can remember:
     
    Not sure how I got there, but I was in this golden-orange cave tunnel thing. There was a little meter sort of thing in the bottom left of my sight, that filled up when something drew near or noticed me. I explored the caves, finding a few weird things. Two in particular:
     
    One: These weird 'flesh-blobs' Don't know how else to describe them really. They were dark, somewhat green, messes of legs and a body. There was on in the end of a room at one point. It noticed me, so I ran, and I eventually found something to hide behind: A small rocky block. It was too small to properly hide behind, and I knew I would be found if that thing came looking. It never did though. The little meter rose, somewhat in sync with the feeling of a heartbeat, but nothing came. It only rose when I stood up and looked around.
     
    The second thing: Alright, this one was really weird, and someone could've found this scary ( I actually didn't- it was too weird..).
    I was wandering around, heading away from where I found the creature, and I think I found a door. It opened. (I can't remember what happened here, so I'll skip forward a bit..) There was some sort of generic witch attacking me! Her eyes were bright red, and she carried on being pushed away, then her eyes would dim, then she would come forward and her eyes lit up again. We struggled with a knife. It was going towards my throat. She was so strong. I thought I could hold her off, but she kept getting just a little bit stronger, whenever I put all my strength into it.
     
    I don't know what happened after that.
     
    That's all I remember...

    Okay, not to sure how things started, but I know there was a game involved, a video game disc. Some stuff happened, then. For some reason, it felt like Resident Evil, and there were a few people I saw that were wearing dark clothes and handling a load of weapons. (Guns, melee weapons, etc. Holding them, or looking at them on a table..)
     
    (there were some zombies..Uh...Yeah..)
    I had a crowbar at one point as was killing stuff^, then that changed to a wrench when someone gave me one. Uh, and then, it went a bit crazy.
     
    I was in this wide open place, that was quite dark, there were four or five big...Things. I can't really think of how to describe them. They were alive, and carried on dropping a load of these little spider things that chased me. I somehow had a chaingun at this point, and I blasted the spiders into oblivion, while killing the big things as well, then, the last one was spawning hundreds of spiders at once, making loads and loads of them..I shot it a bit, and it died, the army of spiders all collapsing and being still almost instantly afterwards..
     
    As I walked through the corpses for whatever reason, there was this strange glitter stuff, like small yellow lights. A couple flew to me, but most stayed still, seeming really far away, yet really close at once.
     
     
    That's all I remember...
     
    Well, there you have it, my first dream in years....Speaks of a mad man, aye. Ah well, I'm hoping to have more...They are brilliant fun.

    Well, if you hadn't guessed by the title you must a little dim, I've made some progress with the currently unnamed Fic. I could do with a name, I just can't think of one...
    Anyway, writing through a block with the help of a friend, I probably made a few mistakes.
     
    I just really want to know people's reactions to this really, to know what to do next.
    The basic plotline from here is: Two filly friends: Myst (earthen..It think..) and Stormy Skies (Pegasus) Go exploring, they get lost in the Everfree, (They live in the Everfree limits, so, easy to do, I guess.) They get pretty scared when the sun starts setting and they're lost. I'm not sure who just yet, but someone will find them and bring them back to Ponyville where they'll live with whoever found them while they try and find ....something...I'm not sure (yet again -_-*) It's a very loose plan, but it'll form up soon once I've gotten back into the swing of things (Half-term...Back to school, woo....)
     
    So yeah, any ideas or criticisms (as long as they are constructive) are welcome.
    Aiming for a cute/very slight dark (nightmare sequences & Everfree)/humor/ slight shipping between non-main characters...Because I can, and I've never written anything like this before (See TFotKoE : It's all dark.)
     
    If I missed anything there, tell me.
     
    Now, how shall I upload this fic...Methinks in a spoiler? Yes...
     
     
     
     
    ^It's a fat spoiler ^-^
     
    Thanks in advance for any help or anything even remotely useful, related or not

    Basically, I was bored, I played a bit of SH3 and I though ' We've got Silent Ponyville....But we don't have many creeps...I'll draw some....I can draw...Sometimes....'
    Thus, this was born.
     
    The Silent Guard:

     
    The Guard, corrupted my cowrdice (Not so good...)

     
    The Dressmaker (Wasn't sure which picture was worse, so I stuck 'em both up ^-^)

     
    The Wandering Citizen:

     
     
    The symbolization can be found on forum entry: http://mlpforums.com/topic/29515-drawing-ponies-silent-hill-style/
     
    More will come:
    Soon: Celestia - Corrupted, 'Queen of the silenced day'. & 'The Darkness of Honesty'
     
    Yeah...Tear them apart if you want, I'll only improve throught Crit.
