I'd enter the ATG, but my capabilities of drawing ponies grind to a halt right after "copying them exactly in the same poses as the trading cards".
Yeah, this is annoying. /mlp/ is having a good laugh over it. Honestly? I don't really find it funny. Sure it's a free to play game, but this is still something people have been working on for a long time, Mane6 had every right to halt content updates, but it just annoys me that someone would even do that. If this was an actual game, from an actual company, people would be in big trouble.

Ugh. This is why I stay off /mlp/.
Yea...that's why I took off 4Chan on my bookmarks...then for a short time blocked the site. Actually, my Advanced Systemcare 6 actually thinks it's a threat. I'd take it off but...nah.
I suppose, anyone want me to put a shoutout for them in my TS drawing? I'm pretty sure they're gonna post the submissions, after taking a look at last time.
...And while I'm at it...
Minecraft Update!
Fiddling with Trapwires...as they're SO SO SO SO!...hidden. working on Poison Joke Patch.
Quote:1) The game's not cancelled, we're still working on it
2) We'll still be attending Canterlot Gardens.
3) We're not stopping anyone from playing the leak. Just bear in mind that's it's an unfinished version of the game, which happened to be leaked right before we got to a major content update. You can have fun playing the game if you want to. We won't be linking the download, nor giving technical support or taking gameplay feedback relative to the build, due to the fact that as of tonight, it is an already OUTDATED patch.
4) BSUs won't be gone forever. We'll just have to make adjustments on our scheduling for updates, as whatever we -could- show you or highlight in the next couple of weeks is already present in the leak. The leak basically knocked out our couple-of-weeks buffer on content that we wanted to present, and our current work for the past couple of weeks is of the not-so-interesting kind, which won't make for BSUs.
5) A clarification, with a slight misphrasing above (sorry guys): We're not going to be starting or mantaining an OPEN alpha, beta or QA testing program. We'll be starting a closed, internal QA again (where, obviously, none of the testers of our past QA will be present if we can't find the leaker). Just as the previous interal QA, we'll be handpicking our subjects, this time, however, a bit more carefully than in the past. No applications will be taken for this QA program, as we can't ascertain the credibility and trust of people mailing applications to us.

Just a forewarning, take a look at my "Complaints" tab if your gonna point something out. I might have acknowledged it. Technically, Twilight is standing Idle...but she be pissed.
[Spoiler=Classic's Submission-Twilight Wants Me To Stop Drawing Her! D: Ft.My Hand.]
Process/Etc. Things/Complaints
Time It Took: 14 Hours. (4 Last Night, 10 Today)
Materials?:Screencap of Secret Of My Excess for Double Checking ONLY, Pencils, Eraser, Rulers, Lunch.
Inspiration?:I was watching "Secret Of My Excess" on my friend's laptop, and I told him to freeze the image where Twilight was chasing Spike to clean his cheek.
Line Written By: My good friend Izen. (Aka One Bit, his OC...why did I mention that is beyond me)
Complaints?:HER CUTIE MARK. MY GOD, THAT WAS A B'ASTARD TO DRAW. Also the legs seem off and un-proportionate Yes, I'm left handed. Deal with it. I have a tendency to bit my nails. ALSO deal with it.

I'm not sure if the link is clean, I'll test it as soon as it downloads but it's gonna take a while. I'm downloadig Deadlight at the same time so my bit rate is like 40kbps

I'm glad to hear they aren't canceling BSU's; and it makes sense why they won't have them for a short while.
And again, they aren't stopping anyone from playing the leak...
Errrrrgh conflicting feelings.
Well... yeah? How can you stop people from not leaking/downloading? Going through the trouble of punishing thousands of people from playing a game and tying to take out source links isn't worth it. Even I am urged to try out the game, even though its unfinished programming will crap all over my computer.
Looking at the recent updates, it seems they don't even know who the leaker is. They say none of the previous testers will attend the next QA meeting so I'll assume there's no trust with them at all.
But oh well, it's just a leak. I don't think this will actually harm their work. So what if people play the leaked game? They'll all play the final version anyway.

I think you want to look up a few posts, I advise you to remove that link from this thread right now.
Really great job on Twilight! I might make one suggestion though; try rounding out the hooves just a little bit, the look a little odd having such sharp edges.
And the picture is up a few posts. I gotta say, it turned out better on camera than I thought.
Aircalibur421 Wrote:Really great job on Twilight! I might make one suggestion though; try rounding out the hooves just a little bit, the look a little odd having such sharp edges.
Indeed. I still have that tendency to draw them flat.
Well, thanks for the feedback guys. Now let's see if it's EQD worthy. If so...Well...time to ignore my teachers even more in class!
Also, I meant to add the fact I was gonna add your SP names, but I just shortened it to the "community" for time...
...Also, it would look extremely weird.
Another thing I should mention is that the eyes...I don't like how they're drawn, and the abridged version of which I use looks really....well, off. It doesn't seem right to me unless I color the eyes...just food for thought.
Ok, so I don't really understand the HUGE ASS deal Mane6 devs are making over this. Sure, the game got leaked... so what? It will only hype this even more and more as people get to experience it first hand. While the way they are handling this could be seen as "professionalism" all they are really doing is say they are disappointed at whoever leaked the game. It's pointless to get upset over it, 99% of the games and content get leaked before official release, does it hurt the actual content? No.
tl:dr; The fact that it got leaked is actually very good and will help hype up the game even more.

Alright, time to throw in my two bits into this leak fiasco.
To be honest, yes, I'm mad at the QA for breaking THA rules, but honestly, the devs should cut him some slack, and stop being to uptight about it.
For instance, minecraft. It's biggest update: Beta 1.8, was leaked hours before the official release. The creator of the game, (aka Notch.) let it go because it would give people more time to find bugs, give feedback, and just experience it overall.
This happened continuously between the "Lost Update: Beta 1.9", 1.1, 1.2, Snapshot Week 29B and 30A.
They should just let it go and let the community weigh their two bits on this game, regardless if it's in the Alpha stage.
*Throws my two bits*
Artist Training Grounds Day 2's Mission is to make a Pony in motion...Rainbow Dash, it's your time to be drawn..BY ME. I wonder how I'm gonna get this in. They're closing submissions 30mins early.
SCREW IT. RAINBOW DASH, IT'S TIME TO BE DRAWN!
What the Mane6 devs are doing right now is punishing everyone for the mistake of a single person to see if that person has any shame an will admit his crime. I understand what they are doing and support their decision.
Yeah, I'm not downloading the leaked version.
Found myself! Page 56! I guess it was based on who submitted first. Oh well. Sweet.
Working on Day Two already, and it's looking pretty nice. I instead am doing my OC, Cloud, and if I have enough time, then RD tomorrow as the second submission. You guys should try it out, I've looked at ALL 72 Pages. And it's pretty low-grade stuff...I don't mean it in a snobby way.
Now excuse me while I slap my friend in the head because he's getting the wrong idea with my love for RD. (Thinks I'm gonna make a OTP out of it. PSH. my ass.)
GAH! Me and Cloud got into a fight, and I forgot I was sketching some swords and spears in the page behind him...and let's just say, my left hand now has 10 bandages over it.[Spoiler=Day Two Submission I-"Battle Scarred" Cloud Drifter Ft.

Oh? I was expecting you to BE Cloud Drifter. Or is this like rage against the creator?
IllegallySane Wrote:Oh? I was expecting you to BE Cloud Drifter. Or is this like rage against the creator?
He's mad at me. I just call myself by my OC sometimes as a alias.
Without getting into more details, Cloud is mad at Me, Classic, but I call myself Cloud as a Alias.
(Seriously, I go my 5 Aliases. One being which is OmegaZero[Insert Elite Ranked Megaman Boss Sign])
To also add, I revised him this morning...I also literally got some red paint and made it look like I'm bleeding out.
I'll post it later when I submitted it.
The Changes!
-Rounded his hooves (BECAUSE I STILL DO THAT [Facedesk])
-Slightly cleaner, more detailed.
-added more aesthetic things.
And Rainbow is coming along...very crap-like. Again, I just don't feel right about my sketches unless they're colored...weird.
