Viscra Maelstrom 3,718 October 29, 2011 Share October 29, 2011 Hi there! VM here. FS here linked me to this forum via e-mail some time ago, and I decided to join here just now. I'll make this brief, as I've catched a cold and had a severe nosebleed last night, so I'm feeling kinda unwell right now. Well then, were to start? I'm a skunk-striped unicorn who has a beat-equalizing horn. I refer to myself as genderless and don't want to refer to myself under any specific gender, although IRL I know what I am and refer to myself as my gender. My only character reference I have is this one drawn by FS. Which, I should mention, is also my bf, just so that's out of the way. Myself, I'm an aspiring artist... or at least that's what I want to become. I write stuff, mostly only poem/prose stuff because that's the only stuff I've actually managed to complete, and sometimes lyrics for songs I like. What I write is usually stuff involving deep emotions, such as sadness, lust, pain, stuff like that, and grimdark, since I'm utterly fascinated by dark, disturbing stuff like that. Don't worry, though! I'm a perfectly, mentally sane person, trust me! Art-wise, though, my biggest passion ever is music. More specifically, the electronic kind. Ever since I discovered it at the beginning of the year, my life has never been the same. I DO enjoy other kinds of music as well, so my biggest passion is music in general, though the electronic kind is my absolute favorite one. I'd love nothing better than to produce electronic music myself, but I kinda suck at being my own teacher, so I'm kind of stuck in limbo with that. Hopefully, though, that will change at some point. At school, I study to become an electrician/computer engineer. That's still what I want to become, but I also want to become more artistic and create art. Not sure how far that will go, but hopefully it'll work out in the end. Whew, did I say this would be brief? Forget that, even if I'm being sick I'm going to type loads, whether you like it or not! Kinda want to end with a punchline, but I've got nothing, so have some instead. I hope I'll have a real good time here with y'all! 2 Soundcloud---------Twitter---------Tumblr---------DeviantArt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viscra Maelstrom 3,718 October 30, 2011 Author Share October 30, 2011 Hi again! And thanks for the warm welcome, everyone! I was going to reply to this yesterday, but I was too tired to do so, being sick and all that. RKA, I chose Maelstrom because all of you had already taken the good names, which forces me to be original instead, dammit. =P Seriously, though, Maelstrom was something I've used for the longest time before, on my old, now abandoned OC. I liked the Maelstrom part, though, so I reused it in my new pony OC. I'm actually surprised no one asked me about my first name instead, to tell the truth. =P Once again, thanks for the welcome! Now maybe I'll take time to look at the other parts of the forums than idle around here. =P Soundcloud---------Twitter---------Tumblr---------DeviantArt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founder Twilight Sparkle ✨ 8,526 October 31, 2011 Founder Share October 31, 2011 Hey Viscra Maelstrom! Thanks for joining MLP Forums - it's nice to see another familiar face here from that forum I left (do you still remember me?). I sincerely hope you enjoy it here, where we've got an active management and good moderation. Cool to have a big fan of music here. Do you play any instruments? If you're looking to get started with writing your own music, one of the most important things you should do is find a software package you feel comfortable with. I use Finale to write my music because I feel most comfortable with the traditional method of notating music on staves and its VST support makes it easy to add hundreds of different instruments to your music; but there are lots of other options, too. I'm actually surprised no one asked me about my first name instead, to tell the truth. =P *asks* Avatar credit: robinrain8 Signature credit: Kyoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viscra Maelstrom 3,718 October 31, 2011 Author Share October 31, 2011 (edited) Hay Twi'! Sure I remember you from that forum. I'm still contemplating on whether or not to get out of there anytime soon. That place has degenerated into something really awful, but I keep getting dragged back there for some reason, even though there's nothing of value left there anymore... Musically, I used to play drums a helluva long time ago, about 5-6 years ago. I stopped shortly after, mostly because my new school didn't have any music class at all. I do think that it left a impact on me, though, seeing as how heavily I'm into beats nowadays. About software, that's the thing: I really blow at being my own teacher, so I haven't tried to get any in-depth into any software, and when I did, I felt like I'm getting stuck regularly, not progressing anywhere. That's why I want to get into production of electronic music via classes. And they're all expensive college grades, it seems, nothing available for teenagers to take... Edit: Oh, where are my manners, not answering your question? Viscra is just something quick I came up with when changing my username on that forum to replace my now dead old OC. It's simply enough just taking the 2 and 4 letters of the first respectively last name of my favorite pony ever, Vinyl Scratch. Viscra Maelstrom. Badam. It's also pronounced ( the first name) just as if the 2 words were merged together, i.e. emphasis on Vi.

Feather Spiral 1,892 October 31, 2011 Share October 31, 2011 The part of your intro about art and writing has a lot of... stuff. Welcome to the forums, you sexy demon. Hope your cold goes away soon (if it hasn't already), or else. I take writing commissions.

Viscra Maelstrom 3,718 October 31, 2011 Author Share October 31, 2011 Yay Fissy! *pounce* My cold's getting better. At least I haven't had any severe nosebleeds since that night, thankfully.
