  1. I am like *this close* to doing Wreck it Ralph fan art right now. Oh my sweet god. I haven't been obliterated like this since Toy Story 3.

    1. @clayinthecarpet Pixel or not pixel?

      Tuesday, 19-Nov-13 00:22:12 UTC from web
      1. @potatow I only draw stuff by hand. Not good at creating pixel/vector art, unfortunately.

          1. @potatow Hey...Don't knock what I do. Being limited by money has its disadvantages. A Wacom tablet or touch-screen wouldn't pay itself off in commissions, so I don't have the time for it, overall. And besides...I would rather make things only when I feel a deep emotion about the subject ...whenever the muse demands that stuff get made.

            1. @clayinthecarpet Can't tell if that was to me or not...

              Tuesday, 19-Nov-13 00:27:38 UTC from web
              1. @potatow I addressed the art response to you, yes.

          1. @ryanjjjj Yay! Learning stuff is good!

            Tuesday, 19-Nov-13 00:25:40 UTC from web
            1. @clayinthecarpet im not overly good at it :I but yeah learning is pretty sick

              Tuesday, 19-Nov-13 00:27:19 UTC from web
              1. @ryanjjjj Guarantee you're better than I am. ;) Just keep at it!

                1. @clayinthecarpet thx man :D

                  Tuesday, 19-Nov-13 00:28:52 UTC from web
        3. @clayinthecarpet pixel and vector art are easier than hand drawn imo, but they can be very tedious especially when animating them. If you keep the vector art simple it's actually pretty fun and not too tedious though. http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/525509

          1. @clayinthecarpet I meant if you keep the pixel art simple.. vector art is tedious almost always until you learn it well and increase your speed

          2. @pony Cute!! Yeah, I'm just not into that type of thing. *sigh*.....See....*MY* deal is that I can't really produce anything for a production-related reason. I've tried SO many times and I just can't. If it's personal, though....I'll forgo living a normal life at times just to make sure it gets finished and finished correctly. It's hard to explain, kinda...I only make what I want to make, when I want to make it, and because of that, I can't really afford to have any interest in vectoring. I've already spent like $140 in Prismacolor pencils that I am not likely to make back because I'm not receiving any commissions yet. So blehhh to more spending.

            1. @clayinthecarpet your pencil work is really awesome though. It reflects the quality of the instruments and the time you put into the work.

              Tuesday, 19-Nov-13 00:35:52 UTC from web
              1. @pony Thank you. :) That means a lot, actually.

                Tuesday, 19-Nov-13 00:37:12 UTC from web
            2. @clayinthecarpet I felt the same way about things I wrote for a long time, but then I started writing a fan fic that meant a lot to me. Even though I get stuck every chapter and think to myself that I'm taking too long, I keep telling myself I'll get better and faster with time and I keep chugging on

              Tuesday, 19-Nov-13 00:37:59 UTC from web
              1. @pony That's just the way to be, I guess. You have to do what the muse desires, when the muse desires it. I'm just not a businessman, in the sense that I can summon that talent and force it whenever it's needed. (That is not to say that I wouldn't do things for others...I am just very picky about the work I accept.)

                1. @clayinthecarpet When I can afford it I want to commission a piece.

                  Tuesday, 19-Nov-13 00:43:28 UTC from web
                  1. @colfax :) That would be...cool. Decidedly cool with me.

                    Tuesday, 19-Nov-13 00:45:50 UTC from web
                    1. @clayinthecarpet I was thinking of a batpony Derpy in night guard armor.

                      Tuesday, 19-Nov-13 00:49:02 UTC from web
                      1. @colfax holy mother. Id really like to see that as well.

                        Tuesday, 19-Nov-13 00:51:14 UTC from web
                      2. @colfax That's ...adorable. I'd do it. For just the pony alone with no background or ground or such, I'd charge like....eh....$25 for the show-accurate coloring, probably.

                        Tuesday, 19-Nov-13 00:54:12 UTC from web
                        1. @clayinthecarpet It'll probably be a while before I can manage it though.

                          Tuesday, 19-Nov-13 00:59:28 UTC from web
                          1. @colfax No prob. Just come to me later when you wanna and we'll figure it out then.

                            Tuesday, 19-Nov-13 01:02:10 UTC from web
                    2. @clayinthecarpet add me on this list. Maybe incoming week, id like to commission something

                      Tuesday, 19-Nov-13 00:49:06 UTC from web
                      1. @awlderpy If you like, I can certainly try to make it happen. I may be about to get a day job, so it may take a while to finish new things (because I'll have odd, inconsistent hours), but I would certainly at least be up for hearing what you have in mind and give you a price quote.

                        Tuesday, 19-Nov-13 00:52:15 UTC from web
                        1. @clayinthecarpet i was thinking my oc flying through a lightning storm and electric currents arcing around her gritting teeth.

                          Tuesday, 19-Nov-13 00:55:58 UTC from web
                2. @clayinthecarpet yeah I would have diffidulty taking commissions unless they were something I really would want to do anyway :P

                  Tuesday, 19-Nov-13 00:48:58 UTC from web
                  1. @pony Yeah, you're more of a self-expression type like me then. However, since I'm SOOOOOOOOO heavily pony-involved right now, I think I could pull off a number of drawing commissions. Pony is literally like...all I think about these last few months.

                    Tuesday, 19-Nov-13 00:54:58 UTC from web
                    1. @clayinthecarpet like me but for the last year and a half xD

                      Tuesday, 19-Nov-13 01:00:28 UTC from web
                    2. @clayinthecarpet oh hey who's your favorite mane 6 pony and princess and CMC (including Spike)?

                      Tuesday, 19-Nov-13 01:02:08 UTC from web
                      1. @pony Applejack and Pinkie Pie, two-way split. Can't choose a fave there. Luna: favorite princess. CMC? I feel kind of like saying Applebloom for her sincerity...Yeah, okay. I'll go with Applebloom. Spike is not a cutie mark crusader. :P

                        Tuesday, 19-Nov-13 01:04:21 UTC from web
                        1. @clayinthecarpet yeah I include him in that group sort of because he's their age and always gets left out of the mane group yet he's a big character

                          Tuesday, 19-Nov-13 01:07:05 UTC from web
                        2. @clayinthecarpet we don't have any favorites in common then, but I like to know in case I ever feel like making a request or offering a job for commission. I think the best work comes from favorites and favorite themes. Like, one of my favorite pairings (not shipping) is Pinkie and AB even though neither is a personal favorite.

                          Tuesday, 19-Nov-13 01:11:03 UTC from web
                          1. @pony "AB"?

                            Tuesday, 19-Nov-13 01:12:08 UTC from web
                            1. @clayinthecarpet Apple Bloom

                              Tuesday, 19-Nov-13 01:14:46 UTC from web
                              1. @pony Grammar Nazi party up in this place.
