A little fiction about the 14th part of the Land Before Time.  All this time Shorty was with Bron. 

The Land Before Time is quite popular in our country series of cartoons, so all its parts (except the last) were officially translated. From the first to the fifth part, translating was done for the Central TV-Channel in the nineties, from the sixth to the thirteenth voice acting done by quite different people. In addition to the usual translating, the voice actors also worked on the songs. Some of them turned out fine, others so-so. But among all this variety there was one part in which the songs were not translated at all - when it was time to sing, the characters simply spoke their cues to the music. If you are russian fan of LBT, you probably already guessed that it's about the ninth part.
A couple of months ago I decided that we should correct this omission - at least by the forces of us, the LBT-fans. I turned to Melody Note so that she and her staff could help me sing one of the songs in Russian. My choice fell on No One Has To Be Alone. This is a very unusual song and I dwell on it not accidentally. When I first heard it many years ago, I was surprised that such an "adult" song with a deep meaning does in the children's cartoon - usually all the songs in LBT were simpler, so that they easily understood the child. Therefore, I singled it out among all the other songs of the ninth part. I hope you will understand its meaning too (each in his own way, but still). I think the russian version of song turned out to be very cool and I think that you will like it too.

-Wow! - I breathed out, when the coolest LBT-commission that ever painted, was finished.
Ten characters in one picture and a detailed elaborate background - such works is created not every year and not by every artist. When I just planned my idea, I wanted something really grand: with a bunch of characters and a lot of different objects on the background. I did not choose digimons or pokemons, although I really love them, but I chose the favorite cartoon of my childhood - Land Before Time. Now I can say for sure: this art has become the best LBT-picture in the world, because there are no other such detailed drawings of this cartoon on the Internet.
Here is the original picture. You can download it on a direct link, because the size of the original picture is too large (14 mb, 6500x3700 pixels).



What is depicted in the picture? To answer this question, we will have to take a good look at it. First of all, unlike the originals, dinosaurs became more anthropomorphic, standing on their feet and dressing up in clothes. In front of the pool, we see the house, which gives reason to assume that the plot of the picture is unfolding in our time. However, not all so simple. The facade of the house, as well as its furnishings, correspond to the European realities of the second half of the last century. At the same time, in the kitchen you can see an electric stove and a clock made in a modern style. Here, and conclude "Yeah, it's just a well-preserved to our time English house", but here is some else. Near the house freely grow palm trees, and palm trees mean a tropical climate and a strong proximity to the sea. Therefore, the picture shows exactly not our time and not our place, and in general, it is unclear. All this can be only one reasonable explanation - the action of the picture occurs in the intertemporal place betwen worlds. This also explains why dinosaurs stood on their hind legs and began to use all the things of modern civilization.

Now about our favorite characters. Who does what on this art.
Littlefoot - just dives into the pool and enjoys life.
Shorty - tells something to Ali, hoping to make a good impression and to cause her sympathy.
Ali - does not listen to the Shorty, for she is too immersed in her thoughts. It seems that her head is occupied only by dreams about Littlefoot.
Chopmper - is the most cheerful and carefree character. He pulled a rolling pin and a saucepan from the kitchen, and just fooled around running around the pool.
Ruby - trying to explain to the Chomper that if he do not return the kitchen utensils, breakfast will be cooked later and turn into lunch.
Spike - with his head plunged into his favorite occupation of eating juicy foliage from the bush.
Ducky - is swimming. Just swimming in the pool, because swimming is what she likes more.
Cera - unhappy, as always. Feels sorry that she was at this time and in this place. She wants everything to be over soon.
Petrie - trying for a while to forget that he can fly, and jump from the palm into the water.
Rhett - shakes the palm tree to prevent Petrie from doing what he has planned.
If you are interested in characters one by one, here I posted a pictures with each of them separately.









If you look closely at the drawing, you can see a lot of interesting conclusions. In this picture, a lot of different references are hidden. But I will not deprive you of the pleasure of analyzing everything yourself. You can review the drawing and draw conclusions by yourself.
Art is commissioned by Deborah Budyanskaya.

P.S. I dont know why, but picture of a Chomper does not load. Use direct link to download it.

What a cute scene.

Once upon a time artist with nickname Miles-DF came to serious investors and suggested to them "let me draw my comic book with my team, and you'll put it on sale on the iPad." Serious investors scratched their smart heads and decided "well, well, a couple people will buy - just enough for us to buy a beer after work." As a result, Miles received the go-ahead for the creation of the best furry comics in the world (note - I'm not sneering now).
At first, the creators, among whom was not only Miles, but also such professional artists as Vagabond and Orphen Sirius, drew a couple of free chapters to captivate the reader. All subsequent issues were paid.
The plot of the comic strip revolves around an anthropomorphic teenage cat named Rick, who, as it later turns out, is the main character only conditionally. Here it would be necessary to write about the organization of the EXA, that abducted furries and experimented with them in underground bunkers, but this is all boring, and the first chapters try to entice the reader completely different - the fan service in the form of the overnaked parts of the characters bodies. However, the comic does not go beyond what can be called pin-up. But without it, there are enough good moments, related to the relationships of characters.



Of the female characters, I was most attracted by Jess (the kitty on the left) and Vicky (the dog on the right). Tina the lynx (in the center) did not like me externally.



In general, these villains from the EXA locked up furries and tortured them in torture chambers. Oh, I mean they put experiments. After all furries, at first glance seemed harmless, had superpowers (for example, Rick had telekinesis). Over time, from the monotonous feeding and the inability to have "relationships" with fellow inmates of the opposite gender, the residents of the furry jail go postal, and they prepared a plan for escape (they stole the keys and began to open all the cells in a row). And, although the guards had the strong furry weapons with sung darts that were supposed to pierce the butts of unruly foxes, prisoners with superpowers were stronger and found freedom. Hooray? No, it was only the beginning, but the real adventure is yet to come.



So, in our team, pretty cat Rick (cute), autistic mouse Sebastian (noncute), depraved kitty Jess (cute), pumped jaguar Shado (noncute), courageous lynx Tina (noncute), squirrel twins Hottie and Coldie (cute), Bert th fox (noncute), and also joined them later reporter Vicky (cute). Where to go this company with superpowers, and even a wanted powerful military organization? Of course, the best option would be to sneak deeper and lie to the bottom, but on the trail of our heroes rush specially grown in test-tubes furry villains - also with superpowers.



However, our heroes are not weak, and are ready to fight for their lives in every way. Even Vicky, who does not have any superpowers, can squeeze an armored special officer with a bag of papers. And tough Tina at the most unexpected moment will show femininity, taking care of confused and frightened little squirrels.



And now a moment of seriousness without jokes. Comics painted very professionally and I dare to assume that it style will please of many readers. The plot is also performed at a very decent level. I still remember how I wondered what would happen in the next chapter and ... was wrong. The plot unpredictability has become one of the advantages that influenced my becoming the fan number one of this wonderful comic.



As far as I know, this comic story can now be bought through iPad. Just type NARR8 in the search bar and run it. Comic was issued in several languages, among which EXACTLY there is English. For those who want to download it in Russian language for reference, there are these links.

I'm not good at drawing, but like to coloring arts sometimes. Here is the my coloring of Pearl and Peridot from Steven Universe.

One of my first AMV's. The history of digimons from their appearance until the moment when the AMV was created (2011 year).

Here are some notes about my daily life with photos. Firstly, I live in a region named North Ossetia. Yes, the red point at the south-west border of the map is my home.  



The city where I live is very small, only 40 thousand inhabitants.
Our region is very warm compared to other regions of Russia. If to compare with the USA, the climate of North Ossetia will be similar to the climate of Kentucky, maybe? In mid-April, we have the first flowers on the trees. Click on pics to full-size it.



Here is the street where I live (and my dog at the middle). In Russia, there is no division into districts and multi-storey apartment houses neighbor with cottages. By the way, I live in cottage, which I think is good.



Between the houses are small shops. This is very convenient, because you can go to the store every morning and buy exactly as much as you need. You do not need to get into the car, wind it up and go to the store for a few miles.
And here is the dogs, that are drowsy in the sun. There are many homeless dogs in our city. They do not starve, the indifferent people feed them.



This is the place named "The Palace of Nature". In my childhood I went there to read a "Red Data List" and take part in quizzes about nature.



Now the first floor of this building is re-equipped in a cafe of restaurant, not sure.
You will be surprised, but in the photo below is the student hostel. In Russia, many things can look creepy. And I like it!

Hi there. I read your forum for a long time (since 2012), but now I decided to register and post a message. I'm a longtime fan of LBT. At the age of seven I looked at the first movie and since then I have not missed a single new series. My favorite character is Littlefoot. His boundless kindness always was for me an example for imitation.
Now I am one of the active members of a very-very small Russian-speaking LBT-community. I am engaged in the artistic translation of songs, and also unofficial translated 14 part of the movie. Our community lives thanks to your forum too.
I hope that I can communicate here. I'm using translator to leave messages, so do not be surprised if some of my phrases look strange.
