    important questions that likely won't get answered.

    Why is it so hard to talk to people anymore? Why is it when someone brings up a topic we don't like we block/cut them out of our life? Have we forgotten that in order to solve a problem there needs to be communication between both sides? Why do we take everything like it's life or death when it's said about us but when it's said about our 'opponents' it doesn't matter? Why do we play this

    Random thought/vent thing

    So three events that have happened in my life, First one in the early 2000's . I used to ride bike 2 miles to school nearly every school day. On my way home one day a driver wasn't paying attention and drove into me knocking me off my bike, hurting my leg and bending my bike wheel.

    Questions for people

    What do you do to spark your creativity?

    How do you get away from negativity and bring back the positive?

    What is it you do to help yourself come up with new ideas?

    And what do you do when you feel there's nobody you can trust/talk to?

    Does anyone read these anymore?

    So I've been gone for awhile... depression, work, weather, depression, fear of going out, fear of interacting with people, depression. You know the every day stuff.

    So I wrote something

    It's not pony related but it's something. I have a feeling some people won't like it but whatever, check it out if you want.

Update and a question. · 8:07pm Aug 10th, 2015

So I took a break from making ponies (current one is giving me brain pains) so I made a little something.

As for the question, anyone good at making or converting pictures over to pixels? I've been having issues finding decent pictures to use. :facehoof:

Hmm, what I've always done to make pixel sprites for video games I've made was to take a large picture and scale it down in paint.net using the resize tool. It's worked pretty well for me, and fiddling with the anti-aliasing settings can change the look of things if it doesn't come out right. I'm not sure how that'd work for vector art, but I think there's some way to scale it down easily without losing too much image quality.

3309948 I'll give that a try after I finish my current project of brain trauma. Large scale pictures are such a pain.:facehoof:

3309970 How big are we talking, and down to how small? Also what's the subject matter? I haven't done my little trick in a while, I should probably try it again sometime.

3309976 Anything I guess, so far we've been sticking to ponies and video game stuff, as you can see in the picture above the white mage's eye is 1 pixel which can give you an idea of size. The picture giving me problems is 87x53.
