Suggestions and bullshitting thread, venting, etc. [NSFW]

@Sky  
Thatd be nice.

@Sky  
The only things I remember from then are the classic epics made by creative geniuses and those neat little popcorn threads; they weren’t meant to be novels and just had basic concepts the participants carried on
 
Like that tornado chasers thread
 
 
Also summoned an Old One by reading your title :P

@EclecticInspiration  
Oh yeah LR studios existed…whatever happened to them?

@Sky  
Lost interest in MLP, went to anime instead

@EclecticInspiration  
Ah, right. Well if anyone has any ideas for proper 2014 insanity I shall exist once again.

Anyone ever look at all the brilliant images they find (& maybe even privately collect) across the internet, but then stop & realize that, really, virtually none are sanctioned for any schmo to personally use on the open web, despite being so easy to copy/paste, save, &/or implement? %& then after doing a bit of research, find that the brilliant online artists who’ve done the strikingly beautiful works you’ve deeply enjoyed the most, by & large don’t even accept commissions, tho when seen joking about it, proclaim their prices would be in the +2k range… ^.__.%
 
For some odd reason I can’t explain now, I don’t think I can browse these philomena project sites, or look at any image anywhere else on the web ever the same way, tbh. I think, I want to try getting into making art myself, tho the fact that so many making what I like the most online are practically tenured young professionals with other talented hobbies as well (& that I think even know & speak to one another as their own private cliques) is perturbing.
 
No idea why, but this somehow reminds me of how Adam Reed described what inspired him to make the Archer TV series, when he was vacationing in Salamanca, Spain.  
%’‘So I sat on the Plaza Mayor for three days—drinking either coffee or beer or gin, depending on the time of day—surrounded by these Spanish women who seemed both unaware and completely aware of their beauty. Occasionally they would glance over—and catch me gaping at them—and just smile at me like, ‘I know, right?’ And for three days, I couldn’t even splutter ‘Buenos dias’ to any of them—not once. And thus was Sterling Archer born—he would’ve absolutely sauntered over to a table full of those women and sat down and ordered an entire case of cava or whatever.’’%

@Coriolanus  
I have been trying to do the same but it’s very difficult to learn and get better at

(floating around the art pages is the advice, don’t compare yourself to someone you look up to, it invariably disappoints you.)

@EclecticInspiration  
I’ve seen the sketches u did over in discord tho. They’re preddy gud. P:
 
It’s strange rlly, cuz I think someone I talked to from Romania a few days ago said he felt nearly the same way I do now, tho I think it was over that new ‘‘Hellraiser’’ thing he likes a whole lot. He says he casually plays music on harmonica and piano tho, as a hobby. I haven’t done much of anything at all artistically expressive to similar degrees within my lifetime. ^%>__>%

Tell you, I have wanted to find more uses for my bunny OC of late, but never found much to do with him…

@Zaknel  
(tell me a bit about the bun?)

@Coriolanus  
%for others’ reference(and criticism), the one on the right, my first attempt at painting, and this thing Casa definitely wasn’t talking about, yes-yes%
 
I hadn’t rlly thought of them as gud tbh >.> many thanks, comrade
 
 
It’s frowned-upon to act like it’s your art but start by tracing, be proud of the result & try without tracing, and try studying what you do weird and well  
liek, I draw my stuff too tall, because I focus too much on proportions >.> and I’m not very precise when I start a line but I can be precise by the end of it. from obvious to nuance.  
Next time I sketch, I’ll probably try a full-body of a character of mine and try to improve. Let me know what your tactic is b’cuz it seems like a tuff skill to get better at

@EclecticInspiration  
(i agree with corio.)

So, aside from armello, lets look at futuristic ideas. Sorta neocanterlot-like

@Jinx  
Like, cyberpunk and stuff? That’s a good setting for all sorts of RPs, and it wouldn’t be a bad idea to have at least one thread for it.

@GenericArchangel  
Well, as it stands, our group is actually really familiar with these, so lets say…2070, cybernetics, mechs, robots, etc. That should fit the begining criterea of WHAT is availible.

@Cerebrate  
Thank you
 
@Jinx  
Fantasy seems to be where it’s at and I’m not really interested in another neocanterlot myself but whatever comes out could be interesting, maybe a good thread to grow over time. Did you have anything in mind?

@EclecticInspiration  
Neo canterlot was just an example.

@Jinx  
@EclecticInspiration  
I’d be fairly interested in a cyberpunk setting, at least see what y’all do with it.

So, space travel. Yes or no?

Huh surprised people remember that thread of mine.

@Jinx  
I’m down for space travel, but whatever is cool

Space travel is cool.

But yeah cyberpunk or space stuff, both have potential.

Ok, so, war of any kind? Yes or no.
