Meh, the only tunnel I’ve ever been well-versed in the knowledge of, had ghosts in it.
 
… Naturally, that tunnel connects to Threed.

@Bionomaly  
Highway tunnels. Some of ‘em are huge and there’s pretty much every legend you can imagine about them: underground cities, monsters, you name it. I’ve never actually seen any of that stuff, but tunnels creep me out all the same.

@Bionomaly  
It sounds like part of an SCP article. Just enough detail and inference to let your mind spook you right the fuck out.

@Badumsquish  
Holy shit, sounds like your full of interesting stories and Bub seems like a rather nice ghost. Also why does the “the tunnels” bit at the end sound rather menacing.

@Badumsquish  
LOL, this was incredibly amusing would love to hear more!

@Badumsquish  

 
Damn son why you gotta be so fascinating.

@ShimmeringStallion  
Oh yeah; the Canadians have crazy local legends, but I’m 100% purebred Texan. I was thinking of making some kind of wheelpone with a cockpit (not that kind) that’s big enough for someone to hop in and drive…
 
@Bionomaly  
@Napsack  
Well, for starters I’ve seen the Black Dog twice. Both times I was tired, and both times he was sitting on the side of the road like a statue, constantly facing me as I drove by, and gone by the time I glanced in the mirror. And I’m not one to tempt fate; both times I pulled over at the next rest stop and slept it off.
 
Then there was the time I’d been driving for two hours in dire need of taking a piss, with no rest stops in sight, and no bottles. It was late, there was no traffic whatsoever, and there was no civilization within like a 50 mile radius; nothing but trees and trees and trees. So I finally gave in, put my hazards on, pulled over, and trudged off the road to take a leak. Now I happen to glance down and there’s this little hand-carved witch figurine, like what you’d stick in a plant pot, right at my feet and angled to stare right up at me. I contemplated for a good 10 minutes whether it would be good or bad luck to take or leave it, but ultimately I left it and drove off.
 
Now both of those you can call hallucinations or chance or whatever, but here’s the kicker. Here’s the one nobody believes save for fellow truckers. Once I saw this real shabby-looking drifter on the side of the road with his thumb out so I pulled over. He climbs up and, before he gets in, he says to me “one of your squiggly cables ain’t hooked up” in this undefinable accent. So I say “hop on in, I’ll check”, go around back, and the connector for the reefer was off. Real easy fix, I just pop it back in and I head back to the cab: the hitchhiker’s gone. I looked all around for him, thinking he climbed back out to piss or something, waited about 10 minutes, gave up and went on my way. So about a half hour later I’m chatting up someone over the C.B. and I tell them what happened. Guy on the other end says “That’s the ghost of Bub. He helps out drivers who pull over for him.”
 
Now I’ve been called every name in the book from liar to much worse for telling those stories, and I’ve had every “factual” explanation possible told to me for all three, so believe ‘em or not. Maybe there is a totally mundane explanation, but I saw what I saw and they happened. And that’s only the tip of the iceberg; I could tell stories all night of weird shit that’s happened. Ghost cars, “alien” chatter over the radios, the tunnels, you name it.

@Bionomaly  
I would think hitchhikers count.

@Badumsquish  
“You see weird fucking shit on the road too”  
Like what?

@Badumsquish  
Aww man; we actually have something like that as a local myth, so I’d just think you were Canadian or something.
 
Why not just make the Totoro Catbus, only make it a Ponytruck?

@Background Pony #4A8D  
I do all my drawing either waiting for my load to be hitched / unloaded (I don’t touch it; union rules lol), or bedding down for the night. It’s a pretty cool job, although boring and repetitive. You see weird fucking shit on the road too, so if you’re into that kind of stuff (like me) that’s a bonus.
 
I’ve even been thinking of incorporating The Black Dog myth into the monster encyclopedia I’m working on (like, have it be a Black Pegasus that makes ponies who have been flying too long crash or something), just to see how many people would get the reference.

@Badumsquish  
You’re a truck driver? Cool!

More than anything it’s just preference. Admittedly there is a huge learning curve to using a tablet for this (since a mouse is easier and more or less just as effective), but I prefer the tablet because I draw from the cab of a truck, and using a mouse on the seat of a truck is awkward as fuck. This way I can do the base sketch and go straight to vectoring, all in one go, with nothing more than a laptop and tablet on my lap.
 
One thing too, is that using a tablet to vector (once you get good with it) is much faster than a mouse. This picture took me about 15 minutes if I recall correctly.

@age3rcm  
I can’t imagine why anyone would want to use a tablet to vector, a mouse is perfect, and vectoring is more about precision than drawing.

is there any difference in making vectors with a pen and with a mouse?

@Keith Mowz  
AH! SO MUCH JUICE-SENPAI!
 
Alright I’m done.

@ShimmeringStallion  
GRAPE YOU IN THE MOUTH and whatnot.

@Blissey1  
grape = grappling without consent. Also, quite delicious when fresh.

@Background Pony #33E6  
No, no I did not.

@Background Pony #33E6  
hape = hugging without consent

@Napsack  
I read the other half of your sentance wrong. Unless you misspelled rape.

Now that’s a bit of a scheming look, wonder what she’s planning

I wanna marry her now! Can I?

Uh oh, she’s being coy. I have a feeling this is going to end in hape.

@Blissey1  
Without at least some maintenance any creature will lose their strength and flexibility.
