parappa how do you make your lines curve without the curve carrying into the next anchor. i never figured that out when i was photoshoping and it killed my interest in vector art early on.

the curve i did to the 2nd-3rd anchor line carries over into the third-fourth anchor line?
You've got to make the two handles for the 3rd anchor point in different directions. I can see only one handle in your example. Maybe that particular anchor isn't set to "corner"?

Edit: Ooops, sorry for the double post. :(

Each point has two handles (or... whatever they're called). If you hold down some combination of shift/ctrl/alt/apple/option (just one of them, but it depends on the program/OS) you can move them independently. If you click and drag that control rod allllllllll the way back into the point, it's as if it doesn't exist and won't mess up the other half of the point. This is extremely easier to do in flash, if you're wondering how feasible it is to make a show trying to deal with this madness.

That way, you can make what looks like a circle cut in half, as opposed to a hideous blob that looks nothing like a straight edge next to a curved edge.

ALSO VECTOR PROTIP: most programs have a "smooth" option that will clean up your points and curves a little bit. It helps to memorize the shortcut for it, and/or set up a shortcut, and use it liberally. DOUBLE PROTIP: it will usually yell at you unless you have a bunch of points selected.

Found out about ponies Thursday night. Finished all of season 1 Saturday night. Awesome show.
Glad to hear you liked it! I still remember the first time I sat down and watched it. Best two nights ever.

It always warms my heart, knowing about one more person "getting it". It is excellent that you got the opportunity to watch it all in two days, at must have been quite an experience!

Whoa, did anypony know that Flying_Phoenix was banned today?

I was just scrolling down the "Valve: No existing plan for 'Source Engine 2'" Thread and saw banned next to his name right here.

He appears to be angry at the thread and the OP for taking Valve's statement out of context.

Developing...
There can only be one phoenix...

Seriously though, I always sad to see someone who obviously has great tastes in both mythological creatures and children's television get banned.

If you're using Photoshop:

After you make the 3rd anchor point, Alt+click on the 3rd anchor point to end the curvature.

I'm assuming you're trying to do something like this?

I really hope I'm not the only one who missed this little scene in the first episode.

It's funny how often that happens.
Wasn't checking through his latest posts and he didn't say anything too ridiculous. Oh well, we will live on in his honour! The synctube the other day was awesome though, lol.

p.s finally finished Phoenix Wright

I missed it the first time I saw the episode, but noticed it when I saw it again. I love the little touches this show has.

Everything is moe to me
alright, i had to give pony art a try. >_>

i figure i should probably work on a general body structure before going into details, so this is what i have for a body shape of a filly.
v1:

v2:

blue rear background leg. orange front background leg.

the neck feels thick and the back needs work, i don't have many side on views of the younger ponies saved so i dont have much to compare too.
im almost happy with the head shape, the snout may be a tad large tho.
profile feels more like a deer than a pony tho...

I was similar. I stumbled upon this thread when it was till in OT randomly one day. After reading the OP I was intrigued and created a youtube playlist of every ep. Unfortunately I was knee deep in finals crunch so I couldn't watch them, but as soon as I finished that I had a great graduation present to give myself!

Since then I have introduced many friends to the show via this thread and that playlist. Also, I've been lurking this thread and listening to tons of pony music remixes while gaming (8bit remixes while playing FF4 on PSP = ^___^).

I found what I thought were some cool looking pictures for you all!

First up is Night Mare Moon. I'm really digging the attention to detail on the armor


Some Derpy


A cool picture of Rainbow Dash. I really like the colors on this one for some reason.


And some Portal as I just finished Portal 2 today, which was awesome by the way

OMG! That's awesome! *right click save*

Do you know if there is any more like this? Errr tarot themed pony art that is?

Yeah, I think every single image in that album is pretty incredible.

Some of his art references famous artwork (I think), but I just wish I understood some more of these said references.

Looking at that gallery I would have to agree and it'll be interesting to see what else they come up with.

In other news, Daniel Ingram uploaded some behind the scenes photos of when he recorded the 'At the Gala' song which includes a picture of him with the voice actress for Applebloom. You can find them here on his Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/dannyimusic
 
Careksims is awesome

These will be ivedoneyourmom's and I's avatars for the next two weeks, per our bet before the Seattle-Portland clash earlier this weekend.
 
Phew, I feel so behind (on a series that's on break right now, go figure). Work keeps me busy on the weekends.

Still searching :)

Here's all the audio I've done so far. I haven't done a lot of the newer stuff, but I know there's a couple of songs you need in there:

Anyway, about the whole PSN / Pony debacle. Well, as I said before, quite disheartening, especially when a mod called it "disgusting" over just one little Animated GIF Dr. Forester posted. Unless it turned out to be super disappointing, I was hoping to use the smiling Twinkie Pinkie gif (probably modified with Text and a related picture) for the Cafe or other big E3 announcement.

It seems like the "hatedom" is split into two groups.

-The angry, sexually insecure who probably have no shred of their inner child left and just can't get the thought out of their head that pink ponies and rainbows = bad.

-The misinformed "furry haters" who see the pony craze as some kind of furry uprising and that the only people who watch the show either just do it for lulz and trolling or are turned on by the ponies.

I have the feeling most people are of the latter group and will warm up to it eventually.

In any case, how about some videos. If you guys like AMV Hell type parodies, there's really a bunch of good ones out there now.

My birthday is on the 18th, so my brother threw a surprise birthday party today. He started it with a scavenger hunt using MLP themed clues:


I picked up my friend at my school's book store, and each friend had a different clue to find the next friend(s).

The Starbucks inside of the Safeway

Apple store

Borders

Hot Topic

(local shop)
A place called Book Passage near the DMV.

California Pizza Kitchen
