The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

First Pokemon, then Ponies, now Dinosaurs

@RockingScorpion: Agh! Well, to each their own! XD
I'm pretty much like Misty, too. I try to avoid them at all costs, though, and if I HAVE to pass one, I never stop looking at it, to see what it'll do. We had a dog that confronted a snake once...

Chomper:  "Hold still, Ali!  I will eat it but I don't want to bite you!"

Ali:  :blink:

Ha! :lol   I love this picture.  :) I can very well imagine seeing a scene like this in the television show.


Go ahead and check out my fanfictions, The Seven Hunters, Songs of the Hunters, and Menders Tale.

Whoa! This looks bloody amazing with colour. One of your best works so far (and that certainly is praise that has some value ;)) I really hope I can continue to inspire you (and I'm not only referring to your art here but also to some joke that nobody except me has caught so far :lol)

Bloody amazing? Thank you.. :oops xD that's pretty nice of you.

Also, your comment made my day somehow, rhombus. Like something you'd find in "Caption This" or the like. :D

And yeah, inspiration can come from just anywhere, if that's what you call it. xD

I'll leave this version here for 2 more days, until then maybe someone else sees it, if not, it'll be gone for good. There is a limit to jokes. :D

I don't really have something new, but my signature decided to be fancy in all of a sudden. xD
Probably will use this as some sort of header image in a better start post sooner or later too.

If one of you has some ideas what might be better for the signature, let me hear them. ;)

So, before I go and post the new update: The thing that was odd in my lastet drawing is still there. It's the watermark.

And I'm too lazy to change that - maybe tomorrow. xD

What I got now is what I consider to be my most difficult drawing up to this point:

[align=center]The Last Fight


Source
(for bigger size etc.)[/align]

Despite all these things that are nowadays possible with digital animation, this still is one of the most intense fights when it comes to animated movies.

And this is my tribute to it.
I woke up one day and had this scene playing in my head and suddenly felt an urge to draw something related to it.

And I gave this a title that doesn't give everything away, even if this movie is something probably everyone has seen once in their lives. It's even more unnecessary in this community (and if there is a fan here who hasn't seen the movie yet, I think you're doing something wrong. :D )

Hope you like it. :)

Superb! You keep surprising me (and making me kinda jealous, I guess :p).

Thanks for the two comments. :D
Also...I feel like you already said that once, Ducky123. :lol
And I might repeat myself here, but if you keep improving, slowly but steady, you'll draw stuff someday and think: Did I just do that?

I've been there a few times since I started drawing and it seems I'm there once again. xD

[align=center]The Last Fight - Digicolored


Source
(for bigger size etc.)[/align]

Yeah, colored version of my last drawing, not much I can add here. :D

Like I said, this is now one of a small number of drawings I consider as some sort of milestones. I wonder when I'll be able to say that again.

Hope you like it. :)

Update incoming. :D
I kind of needed that since I've done nothing but editing photos since Sunday. :D

[align=center]Hello World


Source
(for bigger size etc.)[/align]

It's basically a request, I wanted to do some pixel art and asked randomly what people would like to see.

I have no idea when I'll be able to add the shading, but we'll see about that.

Hope you like it. :)

Oh and..there is another forum where I post my art but I'm practically running that thread there on my own. xD
Here I was surprised when my last update didn't get any replies, but that's a good thing if you ask me. Better than being surprised because someone replied. :D
(That's why I'm kind of lazy when it comes to that other forum...xD)

Until next time then. :)

Shading came sooner than I expected. :D

[align=center]Hello World - Shaded

(for bigger size etc.)[/align]

I also changed the ground shadow for this one (which you can barely see on this dark background). ;)

Hope you like it and well...
Until next time. :)

^At least it's working part-time :p

Well, what should I say? Hmm... that emoticon should do :wub :wub :wub

This is too cute to stand! :lol You should do a traditional artwork of this scene too! :yes

Thanks, you two. :D
Also, like I said, if you want you can draw that traditional version, Ducky123. :D

Also...a new drawing might come tomorrow or on monday, but something happened that made me quite happy.

My girlfriend gave me 12 months of Premium Membership on Deviantart. I don't actually know what I can do now that I have it, but it is pretty cool. I'll take some time next week or tomorrow to check out all the possibilities.

So, until my next update then. I'm not 100% sure yet, but I might finish it tomorrow, we'll see, I guess.

Well, I didn't finish the drawing I still have as a work in progress, but I did something totally out of the blue. Well not totally.

In the MLP Fandom, I've seen lots of characters as small "Approved" buttons, or patches, or stickers or whatever. So I thought, why not make this for the LBT Fandom as well? :D


[align=center]Ali Approved Sticker



Source
(for bigger size etc.)[/align]

I know it's pretty small but it's still somewhat enough to print it out in a decent size.
However, if anyone wants this a tad bigger and promises me to not misuse it (like selling it or claiming it's something he/she made) I don't see a reason to not give it out. Just keep it for yourself and everything is cool. ;)

If there is anyone who doesn't like this button stuff, here's Ali without it, and also a bit bigger

[align=center]Ali Approved - Extra



Source
(for bigger size etc.)[/align]

Oh and one more thing: I probably will add shading to Ali at some point, but I don't think I'll be doing this buttons for a lot of LBT Charakters. I could do one for Ducky since I already have something that would fit and only would have to adjust the colors, but I'm pretty sure that this was a one time thing. I want some LBT Stickers for myself, too :D

IF anyone of you will use this for whatever, I'd like to see a picture of that. ;)

That's it then, I hope you like it, and..until next time I'm able to get something done. :)

(I wonder if I'll go back to this thread in a few minutes to edit something to this post I just forgot)

Thanks for the comments, you two ;)

And here is Ducky:

[align=center]Ducky Approved Sticker



Source
(for bigger size etc.)[/align]

The vector I used for this is somewhere in this thread or on my deviantart. ;)

And by now I'm not that opposed to do more of those things, but only time will tell.^^

Hope you like it.

RS

Edit: I'm not 100% sure yet, but I might get the chance to have someone make them into stitched patches. It would probably cost me a bit and I don't know yet how much, but I do hope that it will be done. :D

I liked the artwork this picture of Ducky is from so you can tell I like this sticker equally much ;)

I like both of the "approved" stickers very much. Who knows? Next there'll be a "Petrie Approved" one...um...oops.  :oops
