Prolly shouldn't have done this Christmas Eve, but 3 hours was enough. I seem to be getting faster...
Except that I'm going to visit family later today and I won't be back for a while and I still have to do another vector when I don't even have the freaking sketch yet because my other friend has been "too lazy" to scan it for the past week.
(Based off of this drawing)
This was also a lot harder to do than TMP's ponies... maybe it's the messier lines, or maybe I'm just not used to her art style, but w/e.
New Super Ponybeat just (like literally just) came out, a remix of the carol at the end of Hearth's Warming Eve. Sounded a bit too mellow, but I liked it. Now when is he going to finish Find a Pet...
Also I'm going to miss this blog... I expected the Premier perks to end a while ago, but I guess I kinda forgot about it. I'm considering buying Premier for a year (oh look I rhymed), though... $11 isn't that much considering how much money I've saved up from working.
I wish I could kick my brother off the comp so I could finish vectoring... I need to do finishing touches on Muharax's vector, and then vector another pony for a friend...
But apparently he got one of his Steam friends to get him L4D2 (just like he did with Terraria and Premium TF2), so he won't let me use the computer even though I specifically told him I'd need it....
Anyone know how cheap a laptop powerful enough to run Crysis Illustrator is?
I don't really like how it kicks you out of the multiplayer menu if you get disconnected from XBL.
All that work on my emblem lost because it was 11 PM...
I'm not sure whether to blame my dad for having these parental controls even though I'm 17, or my brother for staying up until 1 playing TF2 and causing this to happen.
On a side note, he still doesn't get disconnected from Steam when I get disconnected from XBL, so he's still playing until 1.
His last album came out... I'm going to miss this. Art of Celestia's Dress - Remix of Art of the Dress Sonic Rainboom (Just An Old Mare's Tale) - Remix of the BGM during the sonic rainboom Hydra Pulse - Original/Remix of the BGM during the hydra scene in Feeling Pinkie Keen My Little Pony Theme (Farewell Party Remix) - Remix of the main theme Giggle (With) the Ghostie - Remix of PinkiePieSwear's Giggle at the Ghostie (Simple Joy Mix) Winter Wrap Up (At The Everfree Forest) - Remix of WWU as far as I can tell, although I could be wrong. All Powerful (Trixie) - Original Eurobeat Telegram - Remix of Eurobeat Brony's Singing Telegram (Postal Mix) Synthline's Theme - Original Sunshine and the Celery Stalker - Remix of PinkiePieSwear's Sunshine and Celery Stalks... and he never got to finish it...
So at the end of Hearth's Warming Eve the three tribes join together and call the country Equestria and everypony lives happily ever after, but the flag had Celestia and Luna on them, even though they had never appeared. Spike never says who's ruling at the time, either, so the whole time period of this is weird.
Some theories: All three tribes had a common religion, worshipping Celestia and Luna, and hence why they put them on the flag; not only do alicorns have traits of all 3 ponies, they tie the three tribes together in belief as well. Discord took over after Equestria was founded, but the ponies, united now, stayed strong and believed Celestia and Luna would save them. Their belief, coupled with the MAGIC OF FRIENDSHIP caused the royal sisters to magically appear or something (I don't know where this is goesing. amynore.) defeat Discord, and take over. Then Luna went NMM, the events of FiM happened, a war with the zebras started and the entire country if not more got megaspelled into a wasteland, Pinkie Pie gets balefire bombed, Rarity dies from the pink cloud, Fluttershy gets turned into a tree, AJ... I don't remember, Dash goes off somewhere, becoming a traitor in the eyes of all the pegasi, Twi gets assimilated, 200 years pass, Littlepip leaves the Stable and saves everyone by putting herself in the SPP, and civil war ensues between the Enclave and everyone else (because war never changes), but now there's hope. The entire thing was a folk tale. Discord ruled until Celestia and Luna came along from wherever (space?), overthrew him, renamed the place Equestria, because of the story. Of course, this still raises the question of when this happens, but maybe as time went on ponies forgot how Equestria was really named. Or maybe the story came about after the royal sisters rose to power. As an alternative to "wherever" maybe there used to be larger populations of alicorns and draconequuses but the alicorns revolted and most of both were wiped out. This kinda messes with the alicorns-living-for-a-really-long-time thing, though Celestia and Luna were there in that time period, but they chose to be worshipped as gods instead of being closer to their subjects so they stayed out of things, letting the ponies interpret this as some sort of test. Celestia and Luna were there in that time period and caused the whole thing to troll. The ponies thought this was some sort of test. Problem? (later Luna got butthurt and got sent to the moon.) Celestia and Luna came along after the ponies settled their differences but before the country was named. Then they could have gotten themselves the respect of everypony else (although whether they did this by earning it or by saying "we're alicorns bow before us" I dunno), and got themselves seats in power.
For the finale, most people wear Santa hats and put ribbons on their instruments.
I had a Santa hat... and a string of LEDs on my flute.
B)
In unrelated news, my av randomly changed back to Calamity earlier today but it's switched back. Looks like my account has made peace with being called Clammity but having an av of Velvet Remedy.
Also have a terrible gif I made because it's 2 in the morning and I'm hungry but I won't be able to use the computer tomorrow because I have a really long concert that I have to play in.
Also the outlines on his wings look terrible bleh I'm sorry
Also also I'm sorry for doubting you Illustrator can you ever forgive me
But I really need to do homework now because I've been putting it off all night so imma go.
...
Who am I kidding, I'm going to be here all night.
Also, while I'm here, I seem to never be able to finish writing any music. I started off by writing So Many Wonders (EuroSky Mix) as a flute solo; finished that one. Went on to WWU (EuroSpring Mix) as a duet; didn't even get to the chorus. Started Night of Pony for 4 parts, didn't finish the second measure on the first part. Wrote Find A Pet for 2 flutes representing Fluttershy and Rainbow, but didn't make it to the flying squirrel And now I'm on Becoming Popular (Canterlo-Disco Mix) for 5 flutes/4 flutes and a violin/3 flutes, 1 violin, and 1 Kazumi Evans, and I'm right at when Rarity starts singing Becoming as popular/as popular can be/Making my mark/making my mark on high society. Trying to figure out that bass line, but it's really hard when you have SIXTEENTH NOTES COVERING IT UP MOST OF THE TIME D:<<<<<<
also also i keep forgetting to write time signatures and it's really annoying
also also also i'm wasting even more time aren't i
Reshelf day? XD ART OF THE TO DO LIST A birthday present to himself? I like how the gem is heart shaped. You know, Spike's advice kinda makes sense... 20 carats? 20 CARATS??? Oh Rarity, using Spike's love for you for your own fiendish purposes. Well, I guess trading the gem was worth it. Lol at Dash's present. Ooooh, Twi. Spike just called you out. Spike at the counter XD Sapphire Shores cupcakes? A hat... in a bag of groceries. Well, it looks good on him. No, Spike. Don't look at that ball. Lickety Split? Woah. Junebug's voice is kinda weird. Well, looks like Spike's learned his less-owait never mind. Yep, Spike definitely learned his lesson. O_o O_o O_o O_o O_o Easily distracted Spike is easily distracted. O_o O_o O_o O_o O_o The doctor's mane looks like an orange muffin. WAIT THE DOCTOR DIDN'T GET SENT TO PRINCESS CELESTIA Why are they all trying the same st- woah the vet actually worked. ZECORA YAY Spike want! He's broken out the other side, hasn't he? Eeyup. Stealing leaves... LEAF MUSTACHE Dash's reaction XD I like how they referenced Dragonshy here with Fluttershy's fear of huge dragons. HE STOLE THE CHICKEN COOP? WHERE WILL SCOOTALOO LIVE NOW? King Kong? Hey, the water tower from Boast Busters! Oh nope, Godzilla. So full-size Spike won't have wings? How is Pinkie holding those binoculars I'VE ALWAYS SORTA HAD A CRUSH-- SPIKE X RARITY IS CANON Twi's cloak looks a lot like her Gala dress. O_o at that frame.
