Ok funny story time. So I had to go with my mom to the grocery store today. On the way we were talking and I was telling her about my Pompeii pony and mention how one day I want to go to Pompeii and see the site.

My mom looks at me and says dead serious Is Pompeii near the Eiffel tower? I was biting my lip so hard to keep from laughing. I said no mom Pompeii is in Italy do you mean the leaning tower of Pisa by chance. She then says no I meant the Eiffel Tower. Pair is in Italy right she says I am like no Paris is in France. She like isn't France the one that like a boot. Again no mom that is Italy. Rome and all that is in Italy not France.

So I finally just died laughing I could not help it. It was just so funny I seriously though she was kidding with me but no my mom actually though that Pompeii was in France near the Eiffel Tower. She also thought the Vatican was in France where the pope lives as she said.

In fairness she laughs at me if I get something wrong so its kinda even.
 
I am considering giving up on making custom ponies.
I am not saleing anything at our toyshop in town and some have been there a year.

I am not in it for money but what I do get if one is bought is funds for more paint. More bait ponies and item to make more.
Maybe I am just going through a depression at the moment.

Don't stop doing it. Maybe take a break if you have to. Don't get discouraged. Your customs are great. :)

Thanks but I am still mulling it over with no one buying my stuff at the toy store it's just down hearting. It get expensive for supply's to
 
I am sorry you did not sell anything yet. I have been through that before and then all of the sudden something I made sold much higher than I expected. So, your day will come @Ology
 
I'm such an epic disaster on legs. Staying in a very high end hotel due to my cousin's kindness, taking a shower, with non-slip strips, and I managed to fall. Protected my head, but my right arm is numb, my hip and ribs already turning on of my favorite colors. How is it that I always do this? I'm obsessively careful. :sadpony:
 
I post a picture of my mewtwo pony custom on Deviantart and I know it was not the best. But I had a person say it was like some mad scientist put it together just to see what the reaction would be and that it was Horrible. They seem to say I like this and thank for doing it but the rest of the comment just iono bothered me.

I debating about taking the custom down. I need thicker skin I guess but no one ever or hardly ever comment on anything I do. So I want to react a certain way but generally this is not nice not hurtful to the person but I can get dark if I want to.

Iono maybe I should take it down,GRRR why does one little thing have to make a bad day worse.

Sorry it's a bad day. I'm right there with you.

Those people couldn't have been a lot nicer. If you're going to tell someone that something they worked very hard on wasn't as good as it could be, be polite about it and maybe give some constructive criticism. Telling someone that something looks bad and that it's horrible is just plain mean.

Wasn't Mewtwo made by a crazy scientist anyways? (Sorry. I'm trying to cheer you up and it's probably not working)

Yes he was made by doctor Fuji. I can take constructive criticism if its done in a professional way. Just this person saying that it looks like something that was made to get a reaction and something should not go together is what got me upset.
This person art is not the best but I would not saying such thing about their work. Constructive criticism is a great learning tool and can improve what ever you are learning to do. But out right just saying its horrible is what make some people not want to move forward.
 
Yea this is the art world I am afraid. Even in dance quite often you will hear the world "horrible" by an instructor that has high expectations of you. People who are artists tend to be quite picky with art in general. I am not the best at drawing ponies and wouldn't dare expose myself to the criticisms online mainly because, I am doing what I like for me. It isn't about how good the technique is for me. I have no plans to become a Pony drawing artist. Its just a hobby for me. However, in the online art community people are very harsh because, they figure if you are posting an item it means you are wanting feedback on it. I remember once I was playing online checkers which I am usually very good at. I kept losing and I wanted to keep playing this person because, I wanted to learn their technique. Instead I get this very undesirable chat message, "you.....at checkers, give it up and find a Go Fish game to play." I told them they were very rude and that kind of comment is unnecessary. Eventually, this personal will meet someone better than them and they will be shoved in the dirt also. What goes around comes around. I do not like Deviant art because of this very thing.

It is really important for you to be happy with your art Ology. If you want to make any changes to it, or learn some new techniques that is fair and fine to do. Exposing yourself to people like that though may just crush your spirit, the very thing you need to be strong to continue to grow. If there is a way to turn off comments then maybe that would be a good idea.

I can sketch very well. I took art classes and learned technique. I do not have a natural talent for this form of art and tend to need many things to look at to come up with my graphite pencil drawings. When I first went with my art portfolio to the art school, I thought my stuff was really great. I met with the teachers to find out if I would be accepted. Well, they pulled out what I thought was really good and didn't say anything until they found a drawing I had done of my cat Missy. The teacher said to me, "now I am going to be honest this is not good, but I can see in this drawing a talent and ability to understand the nature of art and, I am going to teach you what you are missing." I was kind of sad that my cat wasn't really good enough, but he was right. By the time I got done with his classes I had a better grasp of what my one dimensional art was missing and how to create it. My teacher always said, "I don't care how great of an artist you all are, you still have room to learn and improve and I will not have any negative comments made by any of my students when they pass by another classmate's work." This was a very nice, but honest teacher. This is the way to approach a person about their artwork.

Oh and one other thought to pass on: even in the art world what one person considers amazing art may not be received the same way by another person who loves art.

So, first and foremost you have to love your own art and yourself and what you like to do first. Hugs

My mom would say my horror reborns are not art lol.

Hopefully it won't be dumb. I always worry with these types of movies that they will not be powerful enough to grab me like one of my favorites that for the life of me I can't remember the name of.
 
Goodbye Princess my dear little Chicken. She was killed today by something I don't know what. She was Scarlet my other chick that died last years sister and my last hen I hand raised. I miss my girls so much. I just feel empty today.

We still have my moms chickens but there not the same as my bunch were.

Sigh, so sad this is. Hugs


I have been thinking about things I had when I was young I miss. I know I can't possibly fill my house with everything, but there was a book in particular I wish I could get my hands on in mint condition. Right now I have it in terrible condition. In fact the entire inside of the book is upside down. I did replace my childhood Ernie and Bert. I found my little mini Kermit when I was cleaning the upstairs out.

Shock of my life though, the window unit is full of mold and it is just a royal mess. Time to hire a handyman. Then I spilled perfume all over the floor. Way to go Tula. Smells good but wonder how long that is going to smell up the entire room.
