[SFW] Artist's Group Chat

@Binkyt11  
thank u so much <3

So all I had to draw with was my driver’s log and a ballpoint pen :P  

@Badumsquish  
Good to see some more traditional art.  
It’s a lot less forgiving than digital, because it’s harder to correct mistakes.
 
I need to draw something soon. Just not been in the mood to draw these past few weeks. I feel like I’m letting the people here that are watching my tag down if I don’t draw something though, so a quick doodle to get me back in to things might help.

 
Vinyl is taking a small break

I need help in removing some of the links in my profile here, as they’re not quite used anymore

Drew a flutters while my phone was charging earlier and tried out the lineart extraction tool to try and digitally color it. I think I did an okay job. :)  
 

@40kponyguy  
Here’s them untraditionalized, if you’re curious :D  

 
@Purple Flix  
I think you have to report yourself since a mod has to do it. Just report yourself, pick other as the reason, and explain it in the little box :D

No story here, just, idk, random.
 

 
@Badumsquish  
It’s cool seeing casual sketching! Wish I could do that. :P

A Fun Pixelated GIF Art of my OC and Princess Ember.  

 
Work in progress. I’m determined to put shoes on the horses. Even if they don’t need them!

What is it with the anime girl stuff recently?

@Gameplay The Pony  
Define “Anime girl” stuff.

@Salamenace  

 
The one Bad posted.

@Gameplay The Pony
 
I don’t see anime in that ??!!

@Gameplay The Pony  
I mean, if you’re talking about the Sailor Moon redraw. That’s an art challenge that began on Twitter last year in July, and has been going on a for a while. It’s only this month that it has gotten a big resurgence.

@LightningBolt  
:D

Ooh, ok.

Did another quickie.  

hello again, i need advice
 
do i have to be realistic in a story and do i have to get people’s approval because i don’t want to get any nit picking unless it’s in question form

@Mr100dragon100  
Imo depends on your audience and how you would want their reactions to be like. I think approval is key when building an audience. But dont’ let them tell your story.
 
If you dont want nitpicks then you have to be consistent but it doesnt have to be realistic or believable. Set the rules early, and that will be the precedents from which all subsequent events will be judged on.
 
If your story breaks your own lore ppl will find out. Make sure characters dont break lore just so you can tell a story, because then you’d have to go backwards to justify it.
 
Say for example if ppl think all Alicorns were born, not ascended, then Twilight becoming one broke all kinds of laws, and ppl will nitpick.
 
If for example ppl think Twilight Sparkle to be the only super-gifted spellcaster because her Cutie Mark itself means magic and also because she’s an alicorn, then Starlight Glimmer the Unicorn consistently showing to be equally as powerful breaks all kinds of lore and ppl will nitpick.
 
Fortunately in FiM all those “lore” are headcanon and never explicitly stated, so Twilight becoming Alicorn and Starlight being her equal technically didn’t break anything.
 
But that’s the lesson: you either set things on stone so you are bound to it, or have it be open-ended so you can be flexible about it later.
 
But I’m not a writer, so my advice means jack sheit.  
Isnt there like a fanfic thread where you can post about this? A thread where writers hang out in?

@tehwatever  
well my story is more comic or single art based with a story in the description and what i meant is events or what certain situations affects a character in the long run like a few of my characters have a healing and regeneration ability and one got it with a blood transfusion and if any of them were in a bad situation i can be flexible in how they are able to survive right?
 
when it comes to things like biology of a race and/or a characters superhuman abilities i can always look back and study

 

 
New pieces from me :)

After two-months of drawing anything but ponies, here’s some pony-related content from me.
 
Happy Hamburger Day, everyone!  

@Mr100dragon100
 
The story is yours and tbh you yourself will know if you’ve written yourself into a corner.
 
You can be flexible especially if don’t have a precedent. As long as you know you can get your characters out of a bad situation without pulling something out of thin air, you’re good.

@tehwatever  
Ok because I been planning on how and is mostly consistent to the healing factor thing so I guess I’m good
