Huh, every time I see a new pic in this thread, I think to myself "hm, have to write a good reply sometime!" And then, there are tons of more pics... You're being very productive, May, and I'm really enjoying the quality of your shadings and colourings. It's also great to see how you can a...

I love the term "follow advice off a cliff". I think, unfortunately, many people just follow advice blindly because they've come to expect easy and absolute answers from any problem. Any time an answer to a question begins with "depends," some people just turn off and go look som...

Happy birthday, Steve! Have an excellent day!

Great to hear that, May! Square glasses are nice, and I hope you enjoy them!

It's-a me, Statistics!

My deepest sympathies, May. That's not easy news to take at all.

I had a very atypical day today, so I was unable to show up for creativity or to chat at all. But I'm fine, I'm alive, and everything's alright, so no need for worry. Yes, the Game of Sétanta! I remember that one, Chris, and that's a really good job on the rats! I wouldn't have noticed the anatomy d...

I already gave some comments since I got a "sneak preview" of the story, but just need to go on record about this. I really, really enjoyed this one. The balance between the comedy and the more heartfelt parts is on point, and the set up has an element of "wackiness" but that mak...

I believe character bios are important for works that are written by a team, like TV shows and series, so that everyone can be at the same page. And, in those situations, I guess the "prose bio" style is important for delivering nuances and details more profoundly than a bullet list of poi...

That's totally funny and endearing. The dialogue and their expressions are spot on.

That's super sweet, May. The modelling and expressions are on point, and the dialogue is great. It's especially nice to see that just as I woke up.

"Don't worry your pretty little head, your auntie Sherri has got it all taken care of!"

So, for today, I've made a drawing that I intend to use as illustration for the very end of chapter 5 of The Ponyville Rag . It was intended as a direct reference to a picture from the inner sleeve of Legião Urbana's second album , but I decided to go a little more ambitious with it: This is what it...

Oh, goodness, that's so cute it almost makes me angry. Simple and sweet, and it's always nice to see more Marge!

I don't think tropes are at all useful for writers (except to use as a starting-point for the imagination; at least, that's happened to me. And I'm just one person.) That's one possibility that I hadn't conceived, and it's a totally valid one. And these discussions are great because there's always ...

I believe it's high time for me to come to terms with an ultimate conclusion. Tropes aren't bad. ... they're TERRIBLE . And notice, I'm not saying that a trope itself, or an instance of it, is essentially bad. What I mean is, the concept , the idea of tropes, is fundamentally wretched and pernicious...
