  1. The fruit is great if you manage to get a good one. On the other hand, I've had the misfortune of coming across Kiwis that were so bad that they were as hard as a rock and sour as an unripe grape, I had to use a knife to cut it into piece I could crunch on. The bird is obscure and I've never had the opportunity to see one before, though I'd expect they'd be rather cute.
  2. decided to finish up a piece that i had more or less given up on weeks ago. i'm pretty disappointed at how this turned out, but wanted to post it anyway since it took me so long.. i don't even know how this picture is supposed to make sense.. but i'm just going to pretend that the vehicle was just passing by to patrol some other place along the Equestrian border and not actually parked there pointing it's gun at visitors to Ponyville.... also, i really suck at drawing backdrops, so i've taken the liberty of cropping most of it out..
  3. i'm starting to like twilight as much as i like fluttershy now :3

  4. A Fifth of Beethoven - Walter Murphy

  5. I"m a fan of Fluttershy. I like FS, I feel as though I can relate to her, and that if she were a friend, we'd get along very well together. But I definitely won't go to the point of being her stallion
  6. :o DAT FUR. DAT MANE. DAT TAIL. my tail looks like the perfect pillow I really like your style! It makes them look so.. slender! This is so going to be my profile pic for a while, thanks a bunch ^.^
  7. is it just me or are objects more difficult to draw than ponies?

      /) i fudge the perspectives and tiny details of objects much more easily than i do ponies =/

  8. hee thanks! ^.^ yeah i'm aware of the plainness of the magic effect, sadly it tends to become a victim of being the last thing i draw in, so many times (i've drawn an earlier twilight also with some lameass two-tone magic effect) i've done some ridiculous 2 min scribble job in order to publish it quickly. but that said, yes i too would want to be able to make a nicer magic energy effect as well. unfortunately i have close to no experience drawing SFX so it looks like i'll have to set aside a day to figure out how to do it btw the magic does have 60% transparency but it's on a white background so that's kinda lame i know haha
  9. Figured since I was on the topic of drawing an armed RD that I mightaswell do an armed Twi as well, then I realized: Unicorns don't need no stinkin' guns! They have magicxcxcxcx! In case it ain't apparent, those 'armour plates' she's wearing are part of a linked system thats supposed to deflect and absorb energy from attacks and channel it into that magic amplifier that's around her forehead. The protective goggle is there to shield the eyes of the user from the heat generated by the amplified magical energy. How does it work? I have no idea!
  10. i can't tell, has my art improved at all since i started? =/

  11. like you, i am a total cheese fan and really love cheese. i'm partial to many types of cheese: brie, cheddar, american, parmesan, mozzarella, bleu, you name it, i'll probably down it with a packet of crackers without hesitation but without a doubt, one of my heart's favourites has got to be this Garlic & Herb flavoured variety by Boursin. You can't take too much at one go since it's really rich but damn on the occasions that I do indulge in a box, boy it's a meal in heaven.
  12. Most likely to survive an 'epic pony war in the distant future': 1) Applejack (by far the most pragmatic and rugged pony around) 2) Rainbow Dash (she's the best flier in Equestria!) 3) Pinkie Pie (the laws of physics don't apply to PP, nuff' ced) 4) Twilight (she'll be reading a dummies guide to war when the enemy comes knocking at her door) 5) Rarity (has proven herself to be able stand up in 'sticky situations') 6) Fluttershy (she'll hide under a box until the war is over, or until she starves) Granted FS is my favourite Mane6 pony but then again I gotta be honest right, dear?
  13. Other than MLP, I do enjoy the occasional episode of South Park. Adventure Time and Regular Show have also become recent additions to my watchlist. I used to watch a lot of Anime as well but have toned down since, though I must say I enjoyed the Full Metal Panic series the most amongst those that I have seen.
  14. wow i had totally no idea there was even such a thing as fallout: equestria, much less a *battle saddle*! now that you mention it, the resemblance is striking! i played FO3 for a while but then i got bored cuz i felt overwhelmed by the amount of things to do in game coupled with some crappy weapons that kept getting me killed
  15. Decided to take a break from project related stuff and do something fun So I've been drawing Earth Ponies with weapons so far and it ain't difficult to tell that I'm biased towards EPs, heck even my OC is an EP. I've gotten requests to do a Rainbow Dash but because she's a pegasus I've had to do some thinking to integrate her into my headcanon (yes I always keep my headcanon in mind when I'm drawing stuff) and figure out how armed Pegasi would look like. The pose is based off a vector from the Sonic Rainboom episode.
  16. woohoo finally i'm first in one of these threads! here you go, i've never had anyone else draw my OC before, i'm excited to see how it turns out no rush mate
  17. just watched all the season 3 trailers/teasers.. man this is going to be one HELL of an epic season :o

  18. bought my mom a cute little stuffed toy of a penguin mom with her baby on her feet :3

  19. More WiP stuff! Here's Twi casting magic, she's supposed to be attempting to generate the 'protective forcefield dome thingy' that her brother did in Canterlot, except this one'll be in Ponyville.
  20. i'm finally back from my down under.. ^.^ and am wasting no time starting work on the resources i'll need for a six panel comic i have in mind. so here's a rough draft of a chrysalis that i put together in my sleep deprived jet-lagged state when i got home today her mane is really difficult to get right, and she has so many edges and holes! >_< yawn -_-
  21. am back from down under! ^_^

  22. i wonder, is the pony rock anthem PMV ever going to come out? the first 10 second teaser came out ages ago but nothing has been said since then...

  23. sigh.. flying off tomorrow.. probably the most enthusiastic trip to australia i'll ever make :(
