@mrdragon Well I do have an account on MLP Arena, deviantart, tumblr, and several other brony sites, though my deviantart and tumblr aren't under this name. I also run an ask pony blog on tumblr. Some of my stuff has been uploaded to derpibooru and I've had a couple pieces featured on Equestria Daily's Drawfriend. Maybe from one of those? ^^
-
@mrdragon Really? From where?
-
@prettypurpleprincesspublicprincesstimeline OH ok. I've definitely heard of Journey. XD
-
@clayinthecarpet That's so cool. @_@ I'll have to look into this the next time that I think up doing a sculpting project. So you do molds of your stuff too?
-
@prettypurpleprincesspublicprincesstimeline I'm not familiar with Steve Perry but I am with Michael Bolton. That's pretty awesome. :D I just draw things. I don't have musical talents at all. XD
-
@clayinthecarpet See that's REALLY cool. One of the appeals behind digital art is that you don't really have to spend a lot of money on a failed project. You can delete and start over if you want and not waste anything but time, which isn't really wasted if you're actually learning things as you work. If oil clay can be re-used, then that's REALLY appealing to me.
-
@clayinthecarpet We mostly made pots, bowls, and small knick-knicks, like a thing to hang on the wall to hold keys and such. But I can see why it wouldn't really be something used for figure sculpting.
-
@clayinthecarpet Yeah that's the one I've had the most difficulty with, actually. I've even bought blocks that crumbled and would not shape at all, straight out of the box. :(
-
@clayinthecarpet That actually sounds really incredibly cool. o_o I'll have to look into that kind. Mostly the only kinds that I've been able to use are hobby clay (Sculpey) and then another kind (not sure of the specifics) that a lady let me work with to make some knick-knacks. It was brown, would dry out, so it had to be kept covered, and she used water to soften it. But this oil clay sounds awesome. :D
-
@prettypurpleprincesspublicprincesstimeline We're all arting up the place around here. XD
-
@flamingpandaomg Holy gosh that's a compliment *///u///* You're welcome! XD It's my pleasure to know you as well. :3
-
@clayinthecarpet I don't think I've ever worked with oil clay before. How does it differ from other clays?
-
@clayinthecarpet Unfortunately I haven't learned the secret of not making indentations with my fingernails and leaving my fingerprints behind. My hands are not so steady for crafts and otherwise, but digital work allows me to have a lot of freedom. I would need it digitally printed, yeah, but I think I'm much more satisfied with what I've sculpted out in 3D than I have ever been with physical clay. My hands are pretty fumbly when it comes to that stuff. XD
-
@flamingpandaomg Haha you're adorable and seriously making me blush XD Thank you <3
-
@clayinthecarpet I've worked quite a bit with Sculptris, actually, and I like to work with it. A LOT. I love the program. I use it mostly for facial references for human females right now. Like you said, it's REALLY satisfying to see work in 3D. I hope maybe one day I can work with it enough that other programs (like Blender or otherwise) are easier and I can rig a model to use for body posing as well. I tried using Blender once and was really discouraged because of how difficult it was to shape things. Sculptris is pretty nice, though.
-
@flamingpandaomg LOL Thank you! XD <3
-
@clayinthecarpet I understand that. I also see that you work with sculptures and those are pretty awesome! I've never been able to get the hang of sculptures at all.
-
@clayinthecarpet Yeah dA watermarks are very gross looking, IMO. All I did was create a file with my signature and then text with my deviantart address. Every time I finish something, I just paste it on and make sure it isn't too obtrusive but also so people can't crop it out without cropping out something else too.
-
@clayinthecarpet They're actually quite good at tagging that artist's name and linking back to the source. It's the only reason why I don't mind at all. Plus, most of my works have my watermark on them which give my deviantart, so it's not likely that my work would go uncredited. Forums, on the other hand, hardly ever source anything, which is why I started watermarking things with my deviantart address.
-
@neuraria Yeah I don't get very many comments anyway but they are nice to see when I do get them. :3
-
Apparently someone regularly uploads my art to derpibooru... even the incredibly crappy ones and the awful sketches. Not sure if I should be elated or embarrassed. LOL It is nice to see some of the comments, though. ^^
-
Stroke by stroke, sketching it together...

I finished my bat pony commission! :D WOO!! http://rainbowdash.net/url/591037
-
@clayinthecarpet OH I've heard this song! I just didn't know the artist's name XD I really like this one
-
@clayinthecarpet Very cool! I love Roy Orbinson too. I've heard of The Mommas and the Papas but I'm not sure if I've actually heard any of their music. I've never heard of Del Shannon, though. I love classic stuff. :3
-
@clayinthecarpet I understand. :3 So who are some of your favorite artists/bands from that era?
-
@clayinthecarpet I'm actually not really that familiar with Sinatra's work. So you're not a fan of the Crosbys, Andrew Sisters, the Ink Spots, or Louie Armstrong or anything like that?
-
@clayinthecarpet I love that stuff too! :D I haven't met a lot of people who love it. I LOVE jazz and swing from the 40's. It's awesome.
-
@clayinthecarpet I'd have to say that my fave 90's band is definitely Smashing Pumpkins.
