Hey all! I don't usually write a lot of journals, but I've been thinking... I need to do something. I need to boost myself a bit, and I need to get out of my comfort zone! So, as such, I've decided that I'm going to potentially add a new commissionable piece; Ref Sheets!
Ref Sheets are important for characters of any fandom. They give other people a stable reference for drawing. Most of the time they're very official, with finalized colors and such. However, sometimes reference sheets can fall flat. Sometimes there's so much leftover space, sometimes there isn't enough back story or written information. Sometimes there's a bunch of unwanted stuff on a ref sheet and it's annoying! So I've decided that my ref sheets are going to be fully customizable. YOU get to pick what you want on there. You want lots of text? Go for it! Like those cool colors on your OC and just want a ton of drawings? Alright! I want everyone who gets a ref from me to be satisfied. However...
I have no practice.
Don't freak out.
I'm here to offer 3-- not 2, not 4-- FREE reference sheets. I can get some practice with placement and all that jazz, and you can get a free ref sheet for an OC!
OC must be finalized (I use the term loosely, I know no OC is ever truly done). I want you to get as much as possible out of the sheet, and if I do this sheet and A: I'm getting notes saying you've decided the eyes not green, but brown/the mane is now pink/your OC is a zebra now then it's going to be difficult to finish the art part. Just be content with the character's current design, please?
No alicorns. None. This is just a personal rule of mine. I may change my mind for one, if their story and design are really good. Speaking of...
STORY. Background info. Have some detail for your OC. Have a cutie mark story. Who were their parents? What was their childhood like? What are they doing with their life? Give me some meat to fill nooks and crannies with! Some fun facts! Half of a great OC is some background on them!
Please comment below with a link to your OC and a bit of backstory. (form for that below)
This is not 'first come, first serve.' This is putting the bid in for your OC. If I respond to your comment below this Journal, please note me what you'd like on your reference sheet (info on that below)
That's really all I have for rules. Now, getting down to the nitty-gritty:
The actual ref! As I said before, these sheets will be completely customizable. So, there will be several additional things you can place on your sheet.
Full body reference of your OC in Front, 3/4 and Rear view
Blown up Cutie Mark
Three facial expressions
Short bio-- likes, dislikes, special talent, and place of residence

.:Updates, Thank Yous, Apologies:.
I'm really just garbage at journals and keeping people posted. I've never had to up until the past couple years. And when I know I've kinda screwed up, I behave a lot like a remorseful pet; I hide until I think the person isn't angry anymore. Sometimes the situation doesn't even call for it, but my anxiety feeds off of it. I know many people that I know and many more who watch me probably have a form/some degree of anxiety, so hopefully I can get a few people who feel this is relatable. This is no excuse for my behavior, this is just... I guess my way of apologizing for lack of updating and communication with the masses.
At any rate, there a
Calling All Aspiring Video Game Artists!
(Crossposted from my ~Bumbler-Bee (https://www.deviantart.com/bumbler-bee) account)
Posting this bulletin here first, because this isn't pony related or SU related. This is for a very good friend, who is trying to start a video game company in our home state of South Carolina.
This... is Swamp Fox Studios, a company that is on its ground floor and already producing it's first video game!
The game in question! Eisenblut will be done in the style of a JRPG, set in a Dieselpunk fantasy world. It's got a great story, and will have great art; and I don't just say that because I'm working on the project myself! However, SFS is looking to strengthen its team of talented artists.
