The Nexus

Hello! I'm still alive and feel bad that I haven't been back here in forever XD; Since I was active here, I've moved to the interior of BC, gotten engaged, and I'm currently two months along in a surprise pregnancy. I'm not working at the moment, so I'll have some time on my hands until the baby arr...

It's more likely than you think :O Anyways, hi XD Long time no see! For the past year or so, most of my adoptables time has been taken up with my gryphon adoptables, Glassgryphs. They used to be just for members of PonyIsland, but given how annoyed I've been with that site recently I'm branching out...

Because I'm sure eeeeveryone has been wondering XD I finally got a new full-time job in September, and that has been keeping me rather busy. There was a convention in October that I had to do a ton of preparation for (I think I'm still burned out from that), and now it's NaNoWriMo month.. life is bu...

Whoo, I'm looking forward to seeing that clutch hatch :D

..*ninjas* >_>

I was really hoping to keep all the forms in one place, since the draw is spread across several forums, but if you really don't want to post there I guess you could post it here.. Enkeyn do not require a bond, and do not bond naturally, though a magical forced bond can be made when they are young. T...

Today is my birthday, and I've decided to celebrate online by holding an Enkeyn draw ^_^ Haven't seen these guys in a while, eh? And I think this may be the first actual draw for an Enkeyn.. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v18/skysong_of_shar/enkeyn/enkeyn42.jpg This guy is a Mountain-Plains hybri...

Well, since it actually is my birthday today.. mind if I sign up? ^_^

Your name: Skysong
Colors: Rainbow?! If rainbow's obnoxious, then how about blue, green, and black ^_^
Markings: Paint-patches?

Thank you!

Hmm, I was actually hesitant about pitching the whole Rasha thing here because I know this place already has tons of adoptables, and that everyone already has a lot on their plate, and that Rashas are fairly plain compared to a lot of the dragons here (and the dragonets). Unfortunately I don't want ...

@Shadow - I'm getting the feeling most people are overloaded at the moment, judging from the lack of response XD Oh well!

@Mystic - Oh really? Cool! XD I still have the old lineart for that somewhere.. maybe I should do a nostalgia clutch someday or something.

Ooh, you remember them? XD I'm always amazed when someone actually remembers them!

Hee hee, I was so happy when I came across the original lineart recently.. X3

Hey Nexus, long time no see :O Lately I've been doing a lot of adoption stuff on PonyIsland, with templated gryphons. I've been having a lot of fun with the templates, recoloring and adding edits and such.. and that has inspired me to bring back another templated adoptable - Rashas! So what are Rash...

Yeep, sorry, completely lost track of time o_x

I'm stuck on her story.. I want her to bond to a ship, but I need to figure out how she's going to get her hands on one first >_>

Applications for this batch are now closed! They'll be sent out soon.. I wasn't sure how many I'd need, so I have a bit of drawing to do >_>

Huh, and isn't this one by Aireona?

Ahh, Gaia.. I sits on my donation items and hope that someday I'll find a sneaky way to sell them for real money XD Trying to RP there is like poking yourself with a rusty needle, over and over. I copied down the 'owner's list' so that if the thread gets taken down (which will likely be the case, an...

i'm 2nd-guessing myself now. . . <<;;; did you receive a form from me, sky? ^^;; i thought we were supposed to PM them?? gomen if i'm causing waves, i just confused myself. . . I got yours.. I said PM, but posting in the thread is fine if people want to do it that way ^_^ Saves space in my PM inbox...

It'd be cool so see those guys ^_^ Go skeletal horses!

True, kind of.. I'm mostly wondering why dark chocolate Pocky is called Men's Pocky.

The person below me enjoys Pocky!

Eee, my baby grew up so pretty X3 I love the transparent furiness of the wings! I'll get his adult image posted soon ^__^ Thank you!

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that ._. *hugs*

Hm, well, I just use the scanner's default settings.. I scan in at 300dpi (400% of the actual size, I believe). For images like this with a background, I just crop around the area that I want to show, shrink the image down to 30%, and that's that. For images that have a white background (eg, Enkeyns...

Aww, thank you! My scenes have been few and far between, but I've been trying to force myself into them lately.. glad to hear it's working, to some extent XD; My pencil crayons aren't anything special.. I use Laurentians, equivalent in quality to Crayolas. The markers used were also Laurentian - a s...

It's the next new Chia Pet craze - petable tree XD Thank you!

Wormy-looking? That's a new one XD The reference trees I was going off of of cherry trees (aka, photos taken in the parking lot downstairs) actually did have very smooth-looking branches and bark (til you got up close, at least), but yeah, looking at it again I could have made them more textured.. g...

Thank you very much ^__^ I love doing little eastern-style dragons!

Try try again!



I'm happy with most of this except for the tree.. boo on trees >_>

You can go ahead and gank mine.. it's just the basics and it seems to work well enough ^_^

Aww, I'm glad you like them ^__^ And they are all done by hand - pencil crayons are my friend! And yep, you'd be sending in a character to take care of one of these guys, but not to bond to it ^_^ Most of the critters in my world don't bond naturally - they become bonded through a magical process, a...

Well, if everyone else is doing it.. XD I'm Skysong, and I've only been at the Nexus for a year or so. My dragon-species are the Enkeyns and the Sa'enkeyns, and I still do way too many Samanayrs to be healthy.. >_> Welcome to the Nexus!

True, true, very true!

The person below me is quitting their job today (I am, WHOO)!
