Cactus Codex

A deer.

Go to sleep.

Pet peeve: Artists giving the CMCs the beveled version of their cutie marks.

See the thicker outline at the top of the mark, making it look sorta 3D? That’s what I mean. In practice, they actually don’t look like that.

See, no bevel!

I know, it’s a tiny thing to worry about, but if people can be bothered by backwards cutie marks, then I can be bothered by this. :Y

I’m an old and withering plant.

Great times when your group project is flagged for plagiarism.

Great times.

Okay but seriously.

Of allllll the classes I’m taking, what are the chances that Probability is the one fucking me over >:c

One day I should make a photo collage of all the posts and quotes I see on my dashboard on a daily basis, just to show how absolutely weird it looks when juxtaposed together.

Sometimes the limitations of my drawing methods can be rather silly.

Example 7: This shit right here.

It doesn’t happen often, but occasionally I’ll have two layers overlapping each other like the blue and pink circles here (and in this exact order, no way around it), and have to draw something that is behind the pink, but over the blue.

Which is no problem with regular lineart.

But since I draw everything in shapes on separate layers, it’s actually impossible to have this arrangement through layer ordering.

The workaround is to place the grey rectangle over the blue, select the pink layer, and delete the selection from the grey layer (as I’ve crudely done in the example).

Or to place the grey under the pink, duplicate it and place that over the blue, and then clip it to the blue.

Either way, it’s a weird and silly case to deal with.

As much as I rag on anons a lot, and as much as they can give me grief sometimes, I really gotta make a shout-out to them.

I don’t think PC would’ve gone the way it did without the lovable and weird anons I’ve encountered over the years. So it’s a no-brainer that I should acknowledge them and let them know that I love them so.

Thank you, anons of PC.

The temperatures here in PA are skyrocketing and in response, Housing suddenly turned off the heating in my building and turned on the A/C.

Holy shit, my room is an icebox now .-.

1 AM Fears: OH SHIT I DIDN’T TURN IN THE ASSIGNM-

oh wait, yes I did

nvm

1 week until Post Crusade’s fifth year anniversary.

Who wants a feature? >_>

Anons keep sending this kind of stuff to poor PC Scootaloo and honestly y'all need Jesus.

(Actually I love it; keep doing it O2O)

Oh you thought I’d forgotten about this artist collab series thing? Naah I’ve been busy drawing other horses for con prep. But it looks like @silfoearts, aka @royalsketchbook, is helping me get back to the swootie this time and god bless

I actually learned a lot from just working with silfoe’s sketch, holy cow she knows how to draw legs that *aren’t* marshmallow. Unbelievable. I mean look at that sweetie’s legs! I always edit collab sketches to try to mix a bit of our styles, but I couldn’t touch those things, they’re perfect! And get this, she can draw ponies with *eyebrows*. I can’t do that I don’t have that kind of technology. Anyways safe to say I really loved working with her sketch not only because I can now… steal… a few style things, but also because it was cute as hell. Wanted to tie in with her blog stuff so the idea was that Sweetie is being babysat by Twi/Luna while Rarity runs around doing canterlot things. I think they’d make for pretty good parents, it’s almost as if a wedding is coming up on royalsketchbook or something.

Anyways, thanks again Silfoe! As for all y’all, enjoy some pretend princess sweetie with not pretend princess princesses
