Sorry, studyith, is what I meant. I look through some guides, and found ways that really helped me draw colts better, also with clothing.
Day I going up tomorrow morning, along with a revamped OC. (Yes, again. 8th Incarnation.)
Oh hey, I snaged 3.1k. Here. Looks like I was right after all. Consider this in the name of Applejack. Or JappleAck...whatever.
In somewhat Pony related news, tried to make a Kaiser named SpikeyWikey and KaiserSpike. Failed miserably. Went with KaiserDSpike.
In more actual Pony related matters, I'm a bit sad that apparently the song "Fighting Dreamers" is automatically canned on Youtube, for I can no longer view the PMV "Scootaruto" with the 4th Naruto Opening playing. Instead I get Moonlight Sonata playing. :|
Tier 3 - Training Grounds Veteran
Your non-pegasus pony is the top of their class! He or she has been nominated for this year's Wonderbolts selection. Draw the celebration, how they fly, and their honorary Wonderbolts suit! Can you handle all of this in just a day? I'd recommend starting with tier 2 if you think you will run out of time!
Day I:Tier III Entry-To New Heights! (Uninked/Unfinished) Ft.Aircalibur421 being his magical ol self.
12/19/12 Hello everypony! Cloud Drifter here, back for another Artist Training Grounds! Now Classic into trouble these past two days and he couldn't do it on SAI, also he found out about the tier system, so he started from scratch and said "Cloud, forgive me. Your retinue is nuts." so basically he drew [MENTION=8633]Aircalibur421[/MENTION]in a Wonderbolt outfit.
Sweet Celestia, he hates your hair with a passion and made a new design out of total rage. Live with it, he hates your hair WITH A PASSION.
~Cloud Drifter
Then again I was listening to Deadmau5 for the first time, so that could have factored in my rage....
I still hate my camera. Scanner for x-mas PLEASE!

Yea, I will do one likely during the grace periods I get. I will do it again once I get a nice clean sketchbook likely tomorrow. I forgot to credit Symphony for actually encouraging me to do this despite recent events. I swear I made the body too thin, either way. But today was mostly trial and error..so well, basically, challenge accepted.
I will destroy your hair. Though like the total random style I came up with in a fit of rage? Whatever!
So um...yea. Next week's topic is likely Apple Family Reunion or Sleepless In Ponyville. Speaking of new episode, a preview is out!
I'll spoil this much: Babs is mentioned and there's continuity for her!
Due to some early shopping in the morning, I doubt I can make the livestream for tomorrow's episode. I can still try though, maybe my sisters will wake up later than 9:30 am.
I feel this was a proper "Applejack is best pony" episode. I liked how in the beginning all the shenanigans were caused because Applejack was trying to do what she thought would be fun. As it came to an end though, she realized they don't HAVE to be doing something 24/7 to make it memorable. Amusingly though, the destroyed barn allowed them to build an even better one than before. Babs wasn't so bad this time around. Also DAT SONG. So southern that it fits AJ.
Also, FILLY APPLEJACK. ALL THE DIABETES THAT IT GIVES FLUTTERSHY AND PINKIE PIE COMPETITION.
Well, the song..yea, I kinda expected something like that coming from her, who's the hard worker.
Good job on ya.
Well Character development was very very VERY obvious in this episode and remember, I do love those.
The whole aspect surrounding Applejack's parents really dumbfounds me. WHY. WON'T. THEY. JUST. SHOW. THEM?! Idk. Boggles the mind.
But enough of what the fans want...
The story was very nice, and it's nice to see Babs isn't a throwaway character after all.
As for Applejack running the show, of course everyone knew she would take it completely overboard and cater to getting things done over actually BONDING with your family. And who said they couldn't do both, really? I'm happy for this episode, as it came perfectly during a time all about that, instead of just wondering what the hell I'm gonna get or something, idk. Boggles my mind.
Writing:18/20
Moral:20/20
Character Development:19/20
Total:19.5/20
Not my favorite episode, but it ranks up there with Wonderbolt Academy. I'd place it at #3 under "The Crystal Empire Parts 1 and 2"
Contrary to the fact we haven't seen AJ's Parents...
CONFIRMED: AJ's Parents Are DEAD.
A long time rumor now finally put to rest.
Causes Of Death of circulating around the fact the mother could have died while giving birth to Applebloom, and the father could not bare the death. (WOAH WAIT. CLANNAD STYLE ENDING THERE.)
All we could believe, is something happened in the early stages of Applebloom's Life, that we'll never, EVER know, because your going beyond the TV-Y7 raiting it would have to be some type of... subtle death...
Probably the most 'meh' episode of the season so far. It dragged pretty bad around the middle and the song was so repetitive it hurt, they were really having trouble filling the 22min with content in this one. Not that it was particularly bad, just not a high tier episode.
Season 3 Episode 11 Episode Title: Keep Calm and Flutter On Air Date: January 19th, 2013 Synopsis: Princess Celestia tasks the ponies with reforming Discord, a mischievous spirit of disharmony, but Fluttershy is the only one who is willing to give him a chance.
Me:Oh HELL, DISCORD'S BACK.
CLD:OH HELL, WHO BROUGHT HIM BACK?!
Also, I'd like to point out that the Season 3 Finale is Jan.26.
