FAQI've been meaning to do this for a long time, and boy howdy is it long!!!  It's organized into a few different categories. I'll update as needed.  This may be repetitive to some, illuminating to others, and completely boring and useless to others still.  
Happy New Year!
Animation Job FAQ
Q:  How can I get a job in animation?
The absolute best thing you can do to get into animation as a career is to go to art school.  Not only will you learn how to draw and how to SEE, you will meet people, students and teachers alike, who will give you new perspectives and will likely be the sources of your future jobs.  (My first job came from one of my teachers.)  
There are several schools that have fantastic animation programs that cover all facets of the atr form.  Schools like the one I attended, CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF THE ARTS, will teach you animation (2D and 3D,) character design, storyboarding, bac
Collection: My Little Pony plz - Mane Cast 1/2Hello, my sexy ponies! :wave:
Yes, I totally stole that greeting from the adorable :iconkezzi-rose: whose profile you should definitely visit. I have never seen a cuter one on deviantArt :love:
This is a collection of so-called plz-accounts related to the animated television series "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic". If you have not seen it yet, this is your first step in joining the herd. Just watch the Pilot Episode and see if it can win your sympathy :hug: The original collection comes from ~MLPFiMplz, but it has not been updated in a while, so I thought I make it 20% cooler :w00t:
Since the size of a Journal entry is limited to 60KB, I had to split the collection:

Apologies for a Wall of TextI thought this was an interesting story to tell so I decided to tell it. Mind you that I am completely over these events, and I'm only telling this because I have this story, and I thought someone else out there would want to hear about it. It involves a bunch of laws and economics and I'm profound in neither, but I'll try to write to the best of my knowledge what happened and how things worked out. So here we go.
Okay so while these events really start at around late August and September, they actually go back about a year or two ago when Hannah, a cousin of my mom's, was allowed to rent the house my family and I had lived in when I was just a kid. She would pay however so much per month to my Nana, and we'd use her rent to pay off where we're living now. Eventually though the rent would come in later and later until she would pay maybe $900-something in a year. Now, since my Nana owned the house, my mom (who wanted her to pay or get out) couldn't do anything.
So this went on for some
Sometimes I Just Love EveryoneYou know?
All you guys are wonderful, really!
Don't ask me why.
I just wanted to shout out to all the great people I've met and befriended on dA (or in real life) and wanted to give you some love.
Because you deserve it!
No really, you do!
Sorry if I'm not as active to keep rewarding your love with pictures and things, though. But I still exist!
Stay awesome!
Also, have some bats
RIP Altai & killed zookeeperAltai, the four year old male siberian tiger (panthera tigris altaica) who fathered the three little cubs (the fourth died a few days after birth) from the zoo of cologne, was shot to death. A 43-years old zookeeper forgot to lock the tigers before entering the enclosure and got attacked from Altai who bit her in the neck. The director of the zoo killed the tiger with two bullets to get the zookeeper out of the enclosure. The visitors weren't at any danger during the whole time.
The director speaks of a black day because he lost one zookeeper but he hasn't mentioned the loss of the second life, as if the life of the young adult tiger means nothing to him. This could also be the reason why he murdered the tiger instead of using an anesthetic.
I have a lot things to say about what happened but that won't bring even one back to life.. so I keep my mouth shut.
Rest in peace you two.
Altai and his mate Hanya were the first tigers I've seen apart from the time where I was ve

You definitely should have a look at the following peoples work. They're unknown or not so well known but their work is amazing. I ask you to take a few minutes to share your thoughts about their work with them, so they can get a bit more exposure and maybe you enjoy their work enough to watch them.
I hope more people will take the five minutes this time :)
Please make sure that you use a minimum resolution of 1046x922 pixel to see the feature as it was in my mind (it doesn't work if you look at it from my frontpage except you have 1920x1080px widescreen, so please click here)

Mostly straight but don't mind a cockatooLets set something straight! (See what I did dere? XD) The time has come for me to reveal my 'interests'. Here goes, Natalie Portman, Christina Ricci, Emma Watson, Amy Adams, Rinko Kikuchi, Racel Weisz, Anne Hathaway, Johnny Depp... ~&@$#*O^!# UM wait what? What happened? Sorry let me continue.. Emma Stone, Zoe Saldana, Amanda Seyfried, Rose McGowan, Mila Kunis, Kate Winslet, Leonardo Dicarprio. Oh man what the hell happened to me!....
And these men crushes has led to me to believe that I might be bisexual (Surprise!), actually did you know that even if you are 5% gay you are still considered bisexual? Which also led me to agree on the theory that most people on earth is bisexual. I think if there is like a scale to find out about these things, with 1 being straight and 10 being gay. I could be a 2 or 3. Yeah only 2 to 3, the majority of me is still into the ladies! Yeah baby! Oh but I am also taken by the way. Sorry folks.
Where do you stand on the scale? Or are you even ON the scale?

I posted the first three pages for your enjoyement. There's the original french version here: http://hivernucleaire.cabfolio.com and the English translation here: http://nuclearwinter.cabfolio.com. It's gonna be updated every Monday! I hope you guys like it!

Contest Winners!I apologize for a bit of delay, I got really sick yesterday and was barely able to do anything. :c Still not completely better, but at least I can think a bit better now haha. So let's cut to the chase and see our winners~
:eager:
In 1st place, we have :iconmalusdraco: with their entry:

Their two animals: Hydra and Praying Mantis
Since the contest was judged mostly on creativity, I found this one just stood out to me. You can tell how both creatures are visible in the design, yet it doesn't merely look like a morph of the two.
Congratulations! You have won:
By me:
- A full size traditional artwork done by me of your winning creature design, in it's preferred habitat (this is why you need info on your creature).
*Will be done on 8.5x11 inch cardstock. Media will most likely be watercolor and colored pencils mixed. Will have a full background.
- A traditional 5x7 inch (on cardstock) picture of one of your OC's
By others:
- A sketch by =Faylenn
- A sket

Interview for Equestria Daily

Fri Sep 16, 2011, 11:41 AM


Here's an interview I did for Equestria Daily about Season 1.  If you've ever been interested in the behind-the-scenes structure of an animated show, you'll enjoy this long and thorough interview.

More development sketches coming soon.  Be sure to check out the premiere of Season 2 tomorrow morning on the Hub!  If people seem to like it, I'll post some of my first development sketches of the new villian.  ;)

****EDIT****
A lot of folks asking what colors this pony sketch would be------ I'm rather pale skinned, but peachy flesh colored ponies look weird to me, so white body and slightly purplish, dark red hair.  If you want, color away!

Curious question,

I've seen deviants draw the ponysona before and/or colored this image, and I see what the colors are supposed to be for the body, mane, etc. but I ask, has there been a decision on what color the eyes would be? Cause i've seen so many of them with gold, green, blue, brown, etc. I don't know which one is the right color and if I want to draw her in the future, I need to know please? Thanks ~
