  1. This is the pony skin btw. Credit to @bitshift - I still need to finish the wings. Old screenshot: http://i.minus.com/iT5IlDXNeooX.png

    1. @pegasusjones Thanks! I like the way she looks too. ^^

    2. @coffeecream Eh, it wasn't anything special, I just used the skin layout, and still ended up not doing the wings.

      1. @bitshift Still, you started on the thing. x3

        1. @coffeecream That's what I seem to be good at - starting things and then leaving other people to do the hard work. :(

          1. @bitshift I don't mind it. ^^ I just remembered it today and thought I should finish it off, since I was working on my main skin today. http://minecraft.aggenkeech.com/player/Neurario

            1. @coffeecream Still, you shouldn't *have to* be willing to finish it. It's not polite of me to keep leaving people to finish things I should've finished, especially when I didn't finish because I got to the part I couldn't do and then stopped.

              1. @bitshift I understand that, but honestly, it's not that big of an issue in terms of Minecraft skins. X3 What part "couldn't you do", though? I remember it was something to do with wanting to see the changes in pretty much real-time...

                1. @coffeecream That and general frustration at being unable to get the mane and wings right. I'm no artist, no matter how much I try to play at being one.

                  1. @bitshift Well that's not your fault. You don't have to kick yourself just because your talents lie elsewhere. # I'm not much of an artist either (Let's be honest, I borrowed that shading layer for my MC skin there) but I'll make it work. ^^

                    Thursday, 13-Jun-13 10:30:17 UTC from web
                    1. @coffeecream As far as I've learned so far, my talents don't lie anywhere, but thank you for not being mad at me. *hugs*

                      Thursday, 13-Jun-13 10:32:28 UTC from web
                      1. @bitshift Why would I be mad? I wasn't paying you for anything. :P But I love what you did do to it. ^^

                        Thursday, 13-Jun-13 10:33:41 UTC from web
                        1. @coffeecream Doing something and expecting people to finish it for you is still rude even when not being paid.

                          Thursday, 13-Jun-13 10:34:57 UTC from web
                          1. @bitshift But you didn't expect me to finish it. You got stuck trying to make it months and months ago. Just because you sent me the source file doesn't mean you have to feel bad about me tweaking it. Chillax, man. You're fine. ^^

                            Thursday, 13-Jun-13 10:39:08 UTC from web
                            1. @coffeecream Eh. Doing it over and over again still isn't okay just because it's different people and I never outright explicitly expected them to do it.

                              Thursday, 13-Jun-13 10:43:45 UTC from web
                              1. @bitshift Okay, so it's not. You're only human. I'm not going to get angry at you, dude. You should know me by now.

                                Thursday, 13-Jun-13 10:45:37 UTC from web
                                1. @coffeecream If being only human means I have to be a jerk by nature, I don't want to be.

                                  Thursday, 13-Jun-13 10:47:16 UTC from web
                                2. @coffeecream And again, just because you're not the type to get angry still doesn't make it okay.

                                  Thursday, 13-Jun-13 10:47:43 UTC from web
                                  1. @bitshift I'm not saying it does! It's not that big of a deal. It might be when you've been contracted by some company or person to design something. But the skin was something you did simply because you felt the urge to. I'm completely okay with the state of the skin. What I'm not okay with is you beating yourself up over something you have no control over. You can't be expected to be great at everything or to have the best focus, and I'd be the pot calling the kettle black if I yelled at you about any of your flaws. Obviously I don't know anything about other 'obligations' you've made for yourself to others, so I can't comment on those. But you're a good person, Bit. And lack of focus or skills or what-the-papayas-ever doesn't make you a bad person. I'm sorry to have sparked this reaction from you.

                                    Thursday, 13-Jun-13 11:17:19 UTC from web
                                    1. @coffeecream *sigh* You didn't spark the reaction, I'm the one who's apparently completely unable to handle a grapesing compliment, and brings it back round to his own goddamn failings. I should be mangoesing grateful to have such a kind friend, not treating you like this for trying to be nice to me.

                                      Thursday, 13-Jun-13 11:28:03 UTC from web
                                      1. @bitshift I guess you're probably not working today (If you are... please don't focus on me! ;)) so it might do you good to watch some funny videos, or listen to some uplifting music or whatever you can think of to do to lift your spirits. If you wanna talk it out with me, I'm here. :)

                                        Thursday, 13-Jun-13 11:35:38 UTC from web
                                        1. @coffeecream What's the grapesing point? No matter how many times I bring my mood up, I always bring it crashing right back papayasing down sooner or later, because I can't applesing handle normal life, or knowing I'm not really good at anything I want to be.

                                          Thursday, 13-Jun-13 11:40:13 UTC from web
                                          1. @bitshift Sigh... okay. Here's what I'd do then on days like this. murdock off. Go back to bed, meander around the internet, play whatever. "Normal life" can cherries off. Make today about you, and, y'know, if you really want to be good at stuff like art, practice. mangoesing in a sea of cherries isn't going to do grapes.

                                            1. @coffeecream I grapesing know I need to practice to be good at things, I just can't papayasing manage to actually papayasing practice, and knowing I'm so useless at even doing that papayases me off.

                                              Thursday, 13-Jun-13 11:57:17 UTC from web
                                              1. @bitshift Okay.

                                                Thursday, 13-Jun-13 11:59:16 UTC from web
                                            2. @coffeecream And now I'm getting applesed off and swearing at you for trying to be grapesing helpful, because obviously that's gonna help me a whole doleing lot.

                                              Thursday, 13-Jun-13 11:58:39 UTC from web
                                              1. @bitshift I can't say I didn't try.

                                                Thursday, 13-Jun-13 12:00:55 UTC from web
                                                1. @coffeecream Of course you tried. You stuck with it a whole doleing lot longer than I deserved, even. The problem was me. The problem is always me.

                                                  Thursday, 13-Jun-13 12:02:38 UTC from web
                                                  1. @bitshift Bit, eat a Snickers. You're not you when you're hungry.

                                                    Thursday, 13-Jun-13 12:03:53 UTC from web
                                                    1. @coffeecream dole off, I'm serious. This isn't some "I feel down because I'm hungry" thing, I'm murdocking applesed off at myself for being so ridiculous and stupid about things that a applesing normal person should be murdocking capable of.

                                                      Thursday, 13-Jun-13 12:10:01 UTC from web
                                                      1. @bitshift It was just a joke, but whatever. What do you want me to say to you? "Yes, you're right, surely you must be subhuman for not being able to handle the simplest of tasks! Oh, I made the wrong choice putting up with you as a friend!"? Let's just say you're right and get it over with. You can't handle doing some things. So start making a list of ways to make it easier to deal with it. You don't have to have immediate results no matter how much you might pressure yourself to believe otherwise. Just chip away at it piece by piece.

                                                        Thursday, 13-Jun-13 12:15:18 UTC from web
                                                        1. @coffeecream *sigh* You're right, I'm not going to fix anything by yelling or trying to find an instant solution. And I really don't deserve a friend as patient as you, I'm so sorry for all that.
