I am planning buying a new computer.

Preferably one with dedicated graphics, 500 GB of storage space, a CD/DVD drive, and at least 4 GB of RAM. Oh, and Windows because of Paint Tool SAI.

I don’t know.

This question is dumb.

(All gifing aside, the vulva is on the outside and is the one we see most of the time. So…)

Try harder.

Hell yes.

Even online, I still have issues with keeping up conversations and end up making a fool of myself with derailing topics and chat-killing comments.

Much of my first drawings were practice.

I don’t admit this as much because I'm embarrassed by it. But when I started drawing fanart for MLP, I drew them as stick people.

I know, I know. Lame. But at the time, I was under the impression that I could never draw a pony. So this was the best I could do.

Until I actually drew one in December 2011. Took my 2 hours with a reference. Eventually, I could draw a simple pony in 20 minutes. Back then, I drew with paper and pencil and scanned them to the computer. Comics were a pain to draw/compile and often took 8 hours to get right.

In order to add some color, I taught myself to vector in Inkscape. I practiced a bit by trace vectoring screenshots from the show, and then started vectoring original drawings. This was in February and March.

By April, I had a Wacom tablet. I had to practice using it, since it’s completely different from drawing directly on paper. The first PC comics were big practice sessions for me and looked rough and unpolished because of it. Hell, I’m still trying to perfect the lineless style.

So I guess you can say that I practice a lot.

Drawing and moderating PC and Diaries have taken up a huge chunk of my spare time.

But, I do find times to simply relax and read a book, or go out with friends to Six Flags or the mall. I watch a reasonable amount of TV (though not as much as I used to), and enjoy walking outside when the weather isn’t shit.

But it’s shit very often, so I just draw instead. :P

I don’t have a crush on anyone right now.

I did once, in 4th grade. And I was able to tell her about it and we started “dating.” But it turns out, she was a psychopathic bitch, so we “broke up.”

I’m pretty sure she never got over it. She stalked my Facebook page (before I closed it) and constantly sent me friend requests that I kept denying. Now that I look back, I wonder why I ever liked her…

No.

According to Simple English Wikipedia, raster (non-vectors) graphics:

… is one of two kinds of computer graphics. With raster graphics, images are modeled as big collections of pixels. Usually they form an image shaped like a rectangle. Each pixel holds something, like color or transparency.

And vectors:

is a type of computer graphics. Vector graphics uses geometrical objects, like points, lines, curves, and polygons to model the image.

Yep! It’s been my primary vectoring tool for a while.

Yes, I have vectored before.

That’s right. Apple Bloom shouldn’t be shipped (by me) because it’ll end in an expensive disaster. I just need to… wait… Market?…

Er… send her to a strip clup? o.o

Or I’ll scrap the whole idea and make Sweetie a homeless person, just to bug Scootaloo.

I find this really cool. My comic is attracting non-bronies. Is it really that relatable?
