We all made it to Colardo safely. Checked into our lodging yesterday just after noon. We're at an elevation of somewhere over 10,000 ft. And, as a guy who lives most of his life at an elevation of under 150 ft, I feel like a fish out of water to say the least. However, the view is well worth the shortness of breath mixing with the below freezing tempts and the snow capped mountains in the distance under a clear sky - WOW! Im going to practice some sketching of the mountain range while the rest of my family goes skiing. There's a few bars and stores a few blocks from here and, believe it or not, It's College Week here! ^_^ I think that's self explanitory. Well, Im off to start the day.
-
@forestrain I joined this group awhile ago, but I never see anyone on when I do stop by. I thought this group was dead. We need to liven this group up a bit!
-
@mushi I'm starting to lose the signal, taking longer to refresh. I'll be back on...later tonight when I get bored again. I'll have a couple good party stories to share then.
-
@mushi well...at least there was plenty of people power to push it :P how do you fit 9 people in a car? Somebody either had to be sitting on a lap or clinging to the roof or something
-
@mushi those situations suck. I had to pack into a Mazda with 5 others on a trip to new mexico a couple years back. Tempers rose quickly...to say the least
-
Cool! The signal works ^_^ I'm on my way to Colorado with the family. I've gotten ahold of someone's I-pad...I hope the other car doesn't notice it missing. We've taken 2 cars to comfortably transport 7 people. We're heading north to Dallas at the moment. What's every pony else up to?
-
Whoo Hoo! What a delightful Christmas ^_^ - Im going to try at least 2 new things this new year! Caligraphy - with my new quill & ink well & practice air brushing to make better painted customs...One more thing - make stencils for the cutie marks. I haven't made a list is years. I prefer suprises. This year I got some very creative things - an inkwell & quill from my brother Mike, Barnes & Noble gift card from Kevin, Sode Stream - instant soda, what an awesome concept, Laser remote control helicopters - 4 of them, one for my 3 siblings & me. So far my bro Kevin and me have been using them to tease the dogs. Forest doesn't like it at all, Heidi just stares at it, too lazy to move until it gets too close. Thats just a few things I remember off the top of my head at the moment. Im going to have to look for a new little round table to write on, paint on, etc. & a new shelf to store my pony collection. My current shelf ran out of room with my new custom - a skeletal pony

Another Funny Skyrim Moment! I'm just wondering the map and find a small bandit hideout in what I thought would be a drougr dungeon. In stealth mode, I get to the first room just down the stairs from the door. There are 2 bandits sitting at a table, and a third with magical ice ability that I didnt see at first in a room to the right. I shoot one bandit at the table - halfway to death, alerting the 3rd bandit. I sneak retreat back up the stairs as all 3 investigate the spot I shot the first arrow from. When they walk away, I target the same bandit as before., and just as I release the arrow, the other bandit that was sitting at the table, runs out of the room from the right, into the path of the arrow, killing him in 1 shot! Had a good laugh out of that one! #Skyrim

@cypresswolf Alright, Direct X upgrade fixed the flashing pixelated background problem so the screen is in great clarity. Next comes finding all the websites I had in my fav folder and sorting them out, then rebuilding my pony/animation folders. I LOVE FUN THINGS! XD
-
@princessweetiebelle 1 terabyte = 1000 gigabytes ...and I check the external hard drive box, its only 2 terabytes, but still that's ALOT of pony
-
@princessweetiebelle Oh well. ^_^ 20 Terabytes of total space is available now!
-
@princessweetiebelle Do you have any Equestria Daily banners saved in your folder? I had just about every one since july saved....those are mostly gone.
-
*sigh* I have 1800 files to go through & separate from what my external hard drive saved. A few hundred are pony pics & comics ^_^ YAY! But....My new Gilda Background....:(

@princessweetiebelle Oh the crashing isnt so bad, its happened twice to this computer since 2006. not a good track record. All I really have to do is go through the last 80 - 90 drawfriends of Equestria Daily and the comics of the last 2 months...time consuming, but no biggie. Just about all the files in my pony folder came from Equestria Daily. As for the music files, most are still available on youtube in my favorite folder.
-
Dammit Computer! You picked a fine time to crash! -_- I have some things backed up, but not in the past 2 months. Lost all my screenshots, music files, at least half my pony folder...at least those can be replaced. Bigger problem is the color is F*yay*ed up. the background is all pixelated and flashing. Can't seem to fix it at the moment. The good news is with my computer now clean slated...for the most part...I hopefully wont have the same damn problems I've been having the last year or 2.
-
@tenmihara Nice! Thanks ^_^
-
I got a question for anyone online. Has Roseluck appeared at all in the 2nd season? I need some new screenshots.

@macpony55 I started on customs back in september when I saw how much they were selling for. Now that I've tried to make a few, It's not as easy to do. If you know what you're doing and can make them look good, you can make some money on them. I'm still trying to find the right paint technique...and don't get me started on rehairing...I haven't quite found the right way to do it. Tails are easy, the manes on the other hand....I gave up for awhile, now I just want to go back to making customs to fill some holes in my collection for customs I havent seen made yet. Also to try out several ideas of my own.
-
@macpony55 It might be a possibility, but I was thinking along the lines of practicing on the pony bases before ripping the hair out. Having a show accurate Roseluck is what Im going for. After that....maybe try my hand at sculpting. A Sherriff Silverstar is wanted in my collection.
-
Another thing, It would hurt to learn how to style hair a bit, some of these customs have extremely long hair and need to be trimmed a bit. I'd feel out right silly bringing one up to a barber to trim it for me. Can you imagine the looks you'd get? HA!
-
I've been thinking...It's been a couple of months since I posted anything about trying out customs. I've collected about 20 since July and with each new one I recieve, I examine the skill that went into painting them. Some of them are painted so well, it looks like the actual color of the pony base. However, when it comes to painting the cutie mark on those 3-4 inch ponies, the size of the space where it goes is an issue. Come January, I'm going to try another Roseluck and hope it comes out looking better than the first. I bought a new base the other day, Flitterheart, with a dvd of The Ticket Master. I'll watch the dvd and see if there's a background pegasi or some idea to try out.

Epic Skyrim moment #6 I got a mission from the Jarl of Solitude to find a Talos Shrine between Fellgrow Tower & Shimmermist Cave. I fast travel to the tower, my horse, Shadowmere came with me. Just north of the shrine, I run into 2 giants & a mammoth who all start attacking my horse. I'm about to go after the giants when a Blood Dragon swoops down from above and attacks me. I make quick work of the dragon, pick up the chase after the giants, Shadowmere is nowhere to be seen, kill both giants before the mammoth catches up and suddenly the horse comes back to attack the mammoth, finishing the killing spree. THAT! Was an epic couple of minutes. With that victory, I called today's marathon play early. How do you top that!?! #Skyrim
