The Nexus

Wow, congrats, Yakima! I have my own little bundles of sleeplessness (my oldest is 3 and my youngest is 10 months). I'd tell you you'll get to sleep again someday but I'm still waiting... XD

I just refound the Nexus...again... Not doing much art these days but I'm alive even if I have no life, right? XD

Much as I love live role play it might be difficult for me to manage...I could find times when I'd be home and (hopefully) idle but there's no guarantee I'd stay that way! Babies are very demanding creatures...

So probably forum based would be best...

What is EVE?

I'm so out of touch with RPing that I don't even know what characters I'd want to use...would havs to pick some based on where we settled on. But I'm up for whatever everyone else wants to do...

K...then anyone have any ideas? I've got plenty of worlds we could play on but I don't know if I'm up for running a RP myself just yet...

I'm doing pretty good! Not getting much sleep but that's motherhood for you...

RP sounds good...did you two have something planned that others could join? I'm currently thinking of joining an online RP run by Caco but I'm so rusty I'm scared to try...but something casual could be fun!

I just rediscovered the Nexus and thought I'd say hi if there's anyone still out there... Would so love a reason to do some writing (and drawing) if reasons exist (and I had time). How's everyone doing?

My memory of the Pern books suggested that while the golds and greens must rise and mate it wasn't so much that you /couldn't/ control the results, but more that most people didn't take the effort to. When Mnementh catches Ramoth, F'lar recalls a flash of surprise when he realizes Lessa is a virgin ...

The artist in me is intrigued by this...but Kitsuneko volunteered first so I guess I'll have to wait and watch...I /love/ traditional chinese dragons...did a clutch of them once myself...or at least a clutch where a chinese style dragon mated with a normal dragon if I recall correctly...was a lot of...

I loved the entire series. I even recommended them to my husband who isn't as much of a dragon person as I am and he thoroughly enjoyed them as well. A very interesting take on dragons and I /loved/ that they're written from the dragons' perspectives.

Dray: She's a Pembroke Welsh Corgi...so cute! :D http://www.dragonbackdesign.com/images/0615122036a.jpg This is her when we first got her a little over a week ago but she's already getting bigger... :) And yep, I still see Gail about once a month most of the time, pretty sure she just does a ton of ...

Thanks, Yakima! Hi Dray! Yeah, so far so good...haven't had as much time to ride my horses as I'd like, but got a new puppy so I'm having fun with her... I keep looking for things to draw and just haven't latched onto anything yet...I've gotten too out of practice I guess... :P And no problem on the...

Hi Shard! Yay for reliable internet! XD I was just so busy with work it made my head spin... But is very nice to be out for the summer! I'm even pondering what I want to draw...but don't have any good ideas yet...

*is pounced* Hi Yakima! How goes it?

Hi everyone! I'm out for summer vacation and wandered onto Deviant Art after /years/ of being absent and saw several people from the Nexus that Deviant Art was watching for me and realized it had been ages since I checked in here! I'm sure I've missed loads since I've been gone...I think my last pos...

Sounds like fun! Now to decide who to send...random characters or leader-types...

Decisions are the worst! XD

I go back to work on the 9th so anytime before then would be good!

Either would be fun, Dray! Personally I'd like the Wyld Hunt style more, but I agree, socialization gather would be more newbie friendly. :) Just, if you're going to organize something, do it soon, please? When I go back to work next week I will probably start forgetting to log in here again... >.> :P

Your Name: Xalia Your Contact: xaliademarin@yahoo.com or I think you have my gmail...I'm almost always available on there... :) Anything you specifically don't like?: No PINK, please!!!? :) Not terribly fond or having hordes of pets but a few is fine. :) Anything you do like specifically?: Anything ...

She's lovely, Dray! Thankie! Good to be around more...work just swallows me whole recently... I will try to put this girl up soon!

Same here...totally wanted to send something in but I got swallowed by work, then by holiday stuff and a sick fiance, and now /I'm/ sick... Well, maybe I'll be able to come up with something in the next two days...maybe....

Your Name: Xalia Contact: xaliademarin@yahoo.com Favourite Holiday Memory: When I was a kid all I wanted for Christmas was a scooter (and this was back before scooters were small and streamlined and cool). We were spending Christmas with family out of town and Christmas day came and there was no sco...

Wow! I'd completely forgotten about these guys, but thanks so much, Dray!

More than a month later I actually come back to find comments, oops! Well, none of my images got selected to be on the game so I'll be editing them and trying again so thanks for the tips, Dray! :) I'll try to clean them up a bit and make them look better...the pony definitely looks like he has stra...

A tutorial might be nice, though I suspect my mane problem (harhar) is a lack of patience rather than need of guidance... XD Here are a couple more that I've finished... :D Spent a little more time on the mane and tail of these two and they've come out much better, though I think the pony's hair may...

Part of the problem is I've had to start over with my computer a couple too many times and so while I keep remembering to reload my "hair" paint brush each time, I've forgotten how to format it so that it gives me smooth lines and not dotted lines... :P Anyone care to enlighten me? I know ...

*SQUEE* So I finally colored the Lusitano horse that I posted the lineart for above. And... OMG...best coloring job I've EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER done! :D Okay, I'll stop yelling about my awesomeness now and share...he's so pretty.... *is excessively proud today* http://www.dragonbackdesign.com/imag...

I've been pretty absent as well, but I've been trying to art as much as I can. Here's hoping this summer I'll be able to get something actually finished and start holding clutches or something...

Welcome back, Analyn!

Thanks for the input! Dray, I'll try the skeleton idea see if that helps me fix him!

Jess, it's hard to tell from the ref if he's turning but I kinda think he is. Here's the ref: http://www.purelusitanos.com/stallions/ ... 4P0275.jpg Kinda looks like he's doing a pirouette to me.

So, I've been working on a few drawings, one for a very long time, one for a moderately long time and one I just jotted down today... XD Thought I'd post them for critique or comments or just to show off that I actually have been arting! XD This guy I've been working on for ages...and the chest just...

O.O Those might just pull me out of lurkerdom... Gah, but I have no creativity to write with! XD When's the deadline, Dray? I might be able to find some creativity next week once grades are done and I'm off on Break for three weeks... >.>
