>>18087 Awesome stuff Anon.

What do ypu think about this?

>>18127 pls respond

>>18127 >>18229 It's a pretty cool horse.

>>18127 >>18229 it's actually really good. I feel like the shapes towards the neck and chest are a little too distinct and sharp, giving it a bit of a toyetic character, but her head is excellent. I'm not a traditional painter so I don't know for sure, but I feel like you should do more layering so the white of the canvas doesn't show up as much - that'd make blending and shoft shapes show up better.

>>18073 Uh?

>>18076 >>18133 Ohhh, neat!

PricklyAnon?

>>18162 Fascinating. What exactly did you post?

>>18154 I wonder if that sack of shit getting so butthurt and purging people is the reason the board has so much pedo shit on it these days? Wouldn't be surprised if he just let all his pedo buddies openly start posting on the site after getting rid of the people that would point it out.

“You sure you want to do this,” you ask as you park, “you don’t have to if you don’t feel like it.” >”It’s taking too long for spring to come, I need to do something before I go mad,” Rosie huffs, “besides- it's the least I could do with all they’re doing for us.” You unbuckle yourself, “Alright, alright.” >The weekend had arrived, and with it, your arrangement with Dawn and Sonata. >After she’s freed herself from her seatbelt, Rosie and you step out of the car and take a look at what you’re dealing with. >It was a two-story house of decent size, reminding you of one of the places you had lived in when you were younger. >A single open garage with a few boxes containing the remainder of what needed to be unpacked scattered about was your entrance into the domicile. >From the looks of it, they shouldn’t even need your help to finish the rest of this off. >While you’re observing, from around the corner of the door that leads from the garage to inside stepped the white alicorn. >”Oh hello, you two, you’re here early. Thanks for taking the time to drive out to help us.” Dawn said. You wave a hand dismissively as she gestures with her head for you to follow her, “It’s the least we could do, ‘sides, Rosie’s saying she’s starting to come down with a case of cabin fever.” >”I don’t blame her,” she sighs, “this winter feels like it’s taking years to pass.” >Once inside you find the house is sparsely furnished, which makes sense since they didn’t have much to begin with, and they doubtless don’t have much of an idea where to start- as they’ve only seen your house and more than likely Telmacher’s. >Also of note is the lack of a certain two-tone temptress. >Eh, you’ll probably bump into her eventually. >Dawn walked over a bookshelf with a box of textile bolts next to it, “These are Sonata’s, Rosie, could you start putting these up? If you run out of space and can’t reach higher up, don’t worry about it; stack the remainder to the side, then go ahead and bring in another box from the garage, Sonata will take care of the rest and let you know what to do from there.” >Rosie nodded, and then got to work, humming to herself all the while.

>>18221 >It takes a few seconds as you visibly see the gears turning in her head, but her expression suddenly turns to shock as what you said finally registers with her, “What? No! I would never- I mean, not that I think you’re-” she groans, before shaking her head as if she was trying to physically reorient her own thoughts, “Rosie’s worried about you, and frankly, so are Sonata and I.” >The bemused expression that had creeped onto your face at Dawn’s flustered stammering vanishes instantly, and you start walking forward and reaching for the door. “Nothing for you to worry about, now if you’ll excuse me-” >Warmth suffuses you as you’re turned around and pushed back. >When you turn back towards the door, you see Dawn has a determined expression on her face and her horn is awash in an amber glow. >You stare at her for a second before attempting to step forward, only to be met with the same result. >Before you could even make a third attempt, you’re pushed backwards until the back of your knees hit the cot, and you collapse onto it. >”Sorry if I’m being rough,” Dawn says, approaching you, “I’m used to manipulating smaller or heavier objects.” >You’d probably make a comment at her unintended entendre at the start of that sentence, but all you manage to do is wince slightly at her managing to both injure your knees and your pride in one sweep by unintentionally calling you lanky. “I’ve dealt with worse.” >An ‘oof’ comes out of you as Dawn hops into your lap, but the heat that emanates from her soothes any of the pain that might have come from her landing. >”Want to talk about it?” “Doesn’t seem like I have much of a choice,” you grumble. >”We just want to know what’s been bothering you.” “Fine,” you sigh, “but I’m going to give you the Cliff Notes version because the less I talk about this the better.” >Dawn says nothing, opting to just lean her head against you instead and wrap her forelegs around your torso as best she can.

>>18222 I’m supposed to be smarter than that, more mature, if I was then maybe he wouldn’t have…” >You feel your heart thundering in your chest as you inhale, and when you exhale you slump against the wall as your anger dissipates like wisps of smoke. “The doctors tried to assure me it wasn’t my fault, that it was his time in the Army, all the smokes, booze, and age catching up with his heart, but I knew the stress I caused him didn’t help, especially with all that and mom’s passing so close together. Just like that, both my parents were gone, and it felt like it was all my fault- if I had just been a better doctor, a better son, maybe they’d still be alive. But I wasn’t, and instead I’ve wasted everything they’ve done for me, without the possibility of ever paying them back.” >Dawn stays quiet as she lies against you to adjust to your current posture, her head now resting against your chest, and her eyes saying she’s patiently waiting for you to continue. “Mom made me promise to go back to medical school, but after dad, I couldn’t do it. I was petrified at the thought that my inadequacy would lead to a patient dying, one mistake, and someone would never see their brother, sister, son, daughter, mother, father, whatever, ever again. I couldn’t handle the possibility, coward that I am. My future handed to me on a silver platter and I managed to fuck it up…sometimes I wonder if it would have been better if I had stayed dead that day, given my parents a few years of grief instead of leaving them a lifetime of disappointment with their leech of a son.” >Dawn’s brow furrows at your statement and her tail whips against your leg, “A parent never gets over the loss of a child, they would have carried that pain until the end of their lives.” You open your mouth to ask where that came from, but remember your first meeting with her, and what she said about the “husks”, then sigh, “You’re right, sorry.” >”It’s fine, but you still haven’t addressed the question of what’s been bothering you.” ... https://ponepaste.org/4579#1376 Figured I'd post whatever I had so there's something to show for for this year

>>18096 ETA for artpack? I am hella busy but I can scramble one pic if I give few minutes of work every day into it.

>>18196 Late Nov most likely

Oh shit, you guys are still making art packs. I mentioned this a year or two ago, but never got around to contributing myself because I couldn't work around the themes. I see I'm too late to contribute now. I should start monitoring this place again so I can participate in the next pack.

>>18216 There's definitely still time to contribute if you want to, this is probably going to later in the month.

>>18216 >I see I'm too late to contribute now. You aren't though. The submission window got extended.>>18166

Heil mares!
