    Does anyone play Darktide?

    Just curious, does anyone here play Darktide? My group kinda dissolved and it's not as fun when playing solo anymore.

    What started the drone-centric stories

    Nothing interesting this time, just two pictures that sparked my idea about hive drones in general. We haven't reached the chill Chrysalis stage yet, but who knows how things will be by book 12 or something. Anyway, the cover I made for They're Everywhere is based on pic 2, but no matter how I tried making pixelart with the right kind of feel for books 2 and 3, it kinda sucked so I stuck to

    Good luck, everyone, going into 2024

    So, I've been sitting in front of the screen for the good part of fifteen minutes, figuring out what to say for the now usual end of the year recap, and I've got nothing. Much like any time I try to push On Holiday forward, the empty page just laughs at me.

    THEY'RE HO- I mean I'm home!

    So, after two weeks in the hospital and almost a week of pain before that, I'm finally home. There's only one oozing hole left in my neck (over the normal amount), I'll be taking antibiotics for a while still, but unless everything suddenly explodes I'm back in business.

Double-size new hive picture · 3:20pm Dec 20th, 2018

Well, writing isn't going well. Everything that comes out feels dry, not funny or interesting. Bleh. So I messed around with pixels again, and double-sized the new hive pic.

Eight turned out reeeeeeally weird, and One and Boss are too small, but hey… something...

well, aside from the size comparisons being off, it looks very nice.



:pinkiecrazy: now multiply the pixels by 100!!!!:pinkiecrazy:

Well, that would be drawing, and I can't draw.

I think I'll try a 3px side squares next (these are 2px size, and the old ones were 1px side), which could allow for more detail

Oi! Drawing in one thing. All it takes is practice. There is a saying that we all love to colectivly chant. "Practice makes perfect." But lo! It is a farce! Perfection is unattainable. Perfection is to be chased, always, but never caught. For to attain perfection is to cease to create, to live, nay, to even exist. The irony of creation is that we chase that which is the end of creation, perfection. Do not dishearten at your lack of talent for something. For there is no sutch thing as talent. Only practice. Practice and corresponding skill sets acquired through doing.

I realized that i am rambling... typing this on my phone after more the three days of little to no sleep... insomnia.... yay...

Hey, I write stories that can put people to sleep! :trollestia:

*Just riiiiight behind the corner in the dark alley*

Really cool, and let me know if I can help in any way.

Unless you can replace my brain and hands with those of someone who can draw, probably nothing. Pointing out what's wrong helps too, though. :twilightsheepish:

But at that point, I might as well just swap out the legs and internals as well:pinkiecrazy:

But on a seriopus point, I think you are a fantastic artist as you are!

4983739
That's very kind of you :raritystarry:, but even I can see Eight turned out completely wrong, and now that I tried to look at the pic without night mode, my stomach revolved a little. At least or next time I know to add a flat background.

4983746
It's not flat if it's an a-cup:twilightblush:

Your writing feels great to me. Don't be so hard on yourself. (I say as i look at my art.)

I mean the 2 next chapters I haven't published yet. They just feel too dry, and if I try to make them funny, it feels like I'm trying way too hard to make them funny, if you know what I mean. They keep coming out too serious no matter what, and I don't want these changeling stories to become the next "Imbalanced". Which is also partly the reason why I haven't updated Legacy of Light in over a month. :raritydespair:

Seems like one of those "dive right in" problems. The ones that if you think too hard about doing it "right" you are guaranteed to mess it up. If you want a lighthearted story、 write one and don't worry about it being cheesey. At this point i am sure you could make a story about watching grass grow interesting.

Note to self - a one-shot story about Three watching grass grow.
