I made all my pony projects with no AI. In fact, AI would have made everything worse, ChatGPT straight up lied to me about features in a paid software package. I ended up learning GLSL fragment shaders to get the thing to look like what I had in mind.

Guys like this don’t realize that they are the freak

Computers. Sure we have issues with modern computers lacking ports, but I'm currently using a desktop computer that's 11 years old, and it handles modern apps just fine. In high school we were having old desktops and they could barely run a web browser.

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

I'm nearly done with the animation of the last shot for act 2 of Pandemonium. It's a difficult shot to pull together, not because it's technically complex, but because it hits a bit too close to home thematically.

Government mandated fursonas.

Asking again cuz I got no bites. I'm moving out of state (not really by choice)and could use some extra funds for travel. ko-fi.com/PuppyPixelz Any help is appreciated, including reposts. After I move I'll have a better support system so I'll finally not be begging as much. Thank you in advance

Jazz Hooves! I wanted a print for EFNW as her VA will be there and signing! :D (I will have her available in my store after efnw.) #MLP #Gen5 #JazzHooves #Art #Anthro

With another creator falling to AI, I have to reiterate, none of my projects employ AI. The entire 17 page screenplay for Pandemonium was written by myself with no AI, just my unhinged ideas and human friends for feedback. The entire animation is done by myself, mostly powered by lots of Dr. Pepper.

So there's this weird bug that only happens when rendering on EEVEE on Luna, some of the geometry gets wireframe showing up, and the geometry affected changes between Blender versions. I'm still not fully sure what causes it, switching to Vulkan doesn't do anything.

Oh hey it's Lauren Faust at ... PONYVILLE CIDERFEST???

Ponyville Ciderfest@ponyvilleciderfest.com · last wk.

The full announcement is live! 📣 Read all about Lauren Faust, our first Guest of Honor for #PVCF26. ponyvilleciderfest.com/lauren-faust... Registration for regular and sponsor badges opens this Sunday, 7PM Central. Package details coming in the next day or two! 🎨: Sweet Cream

So I have compiled a shot list for tomorrow. I have eight specific shots planned, and a bunch of time for experimentation. Hopefully it should be somewhat stress-free, but the weather worries me a little.

So I'm planning a little film shoot on Monday for a project. Gonna be walking all around Montreal to capture lots of scenery. I guess that'll double up as some tourism. Been a while since I've done that.

Redesigned mlp g6 just for fun! Here's who my cast would be! Character sheets down below :) #mlp #mlpg6 #mylittlepony #mlpart #mlpg1 #mlpg3

Hasbro keeps trying to redo the success of G4 without the things that made G4 a success.

First look at ‘My Little Pony: Forever Friendship.’ The new series will premiere exclusively on YouTube in early 2027. Episodes will run approximately 9 minutes each and release bi-weekly.

So while we wait for G6 news, I'm still working on Pandemonium. As I had a few production delays I took the time to rerender comps for act 1. Still not fully sure when act 1 will release, but I should have some news very soon.

Hi, guy diagnosed in the 90s here. First, no it's not the vaccines. Secondly, they treat autism like a failure of character, they never actually cared about helping, they just want a thing to blame things on.

I’m sorry what

And we know that historically, dipshits with zero filmmaking experience and fueled by spite always make masterpieces.

JUST IN: Elon Musk says Grok will make a "full-length movie" of The Odyssey that is "historically accurate" by the end of this year.

Health update, the sneezing has been replaced by coughing, but I'm slowly getting better.

Sorry I'm a little slow on commissions right now, I'm currently fighting a cold.

Some good news, I finally have animation nodes working in Blender 5.2, meaning I can upgrade the production from Blender 4.5 to 5.2 That means Pandemonium has used Blender versions from 2.65 to 5.2

Welp, time to talk shit about the prequels again.

Preparing a new YCH, I think this one's gonna be fun.

Mad scientists are often depicted doing crazy experiments like putting chainsaws on monsters or cloning fallen angels, but we don't talk much about how they probably do really sloppy measurements. You don't try to take over the world without rounding up numbers in your favor.

Funny production detail about Pandemonium. For one of the flashback sequences, I ended up using a shot I had made for a previous project, and it wouldn't render right on anything but the version of Blender I used to originally make it. That's Blender 2.65, from late 2012.

Working on a new YCH, this one is summer themed. Gonna try out a few new things.

Hey, would anyone be interested if Shiei started taking commissions again? That's the wonderfully talented artist who worked on the official MLP Manga series.
