    Well, think of it this way Chip. I'm significantly terrible at art. I can't draw worth a damn because my hands aren't good for it.

    Yours is already 100x better than what I can muster. If you can't draw the same thing, try drawing a different variation of a similar thing, to allow you to work on proportions, depth, among other things.

    You just have to keep trying. Don't get discouraged. Eventually you WILL get to a place where you feel satisfied with where you are.

    Honestly, that's how it worked for me with Fighting games. I used to be garbage for years, but constant practice made me even half decent.

    Innuendo intensifies

    This will require context. Jubia and Gray were ambushed and thrown into darkness. In the confusion, Jubia made a body double of Gray out of water, froze it, and hid the real Gray within her body to protect him (she can turn into water, obviously).

    There's something to be said for generic characters.
    Cowboy Bebop had the Badass Crew, consisting of the Team Dad, the Badass, the Femme Fatale, the Playful Hacker, and the Team Pet.
    It was also one of the best animes ever made.

    Well, if it makes you feel any better, you're one of the still-active users I think of when I think of this place.

    Yeah, but the thing about genre norms is that, the farther back towards the origins of a genre you go, the more they can be seen as creative decisions and not clinging to existing ideas due to a lack of new ones. The original Neon Genesis: Evangelion anime is the perfect example of this. By modern standards, the characters are so cookie-cutter they're laughable, but they were a part of the movement that set the precedent for the norms we observe today. That's how art tends to operate, and is also the basic premise for the evolution of modern art.

    We talking about old members?
    It was certainly sad to see some of 'em go. I keep meaning to get back in contact with Pixel Hope Echoax in particular, actually. He was a cool guy, one of the first mates I made on this site.

    Anyway, 'sup EP?

    Afternoon everypony! You know what I think? I think the current members we have are swell, and there's no denying the 'older days' were fun! We just need to realise that everyone here are regular, supportive members and that you guys are funny, talented and worth ten of the older folk. Well, that's how I feel anyways! I wouldn't change anyone or anything here.

    Wut. Really?
    I'm starting a game development course this year. All they needed me to do was write four paragraphs about a subject of my choosing.
    You're doing it at college, aye? Eh, that is strange.

    Captain, sensors are picking up unusually high levels of sappiness. If things continue like this, I have to recommend returning fire with e-hug torpedoes.

    ...This doesn't really have anything to do with anything, but I just want to say that your recent non-pony artwork is really good. :blink:

    Shields are down to 20% captain, any more sappiness will surely send the ship hurdling into feels. Should we take evasive action and watch Rambo? Only manliness will save us now!

    Oh, thank you! I'm glad people like my non-pony stuff. I've been drawing it for years, so yay~

    I'm just a lass that regulars here. Also I'm Queen Saucybuns. That's basically it. Though I haven't been logging on as much because I've been away and sick.

    Edit: Oh yeah, and I draw. That's it.
