being an adult is just being worse at character creation than you were at 12 years old. in what world is it taking me months to figure out a story for one character

rainbowpanda101 @ Mon Jun 10, 2024 11:21 am

These are so cute! ~<3

Also I totally get what you're saying...creativity seems so much more difficult as an adult! T_T

Bright glowy/glitchy art is therapeutic
Used only the additive primaries and secondaries to color
(So basically, default swatches + cyan & magenta)

This is awesome! I love how you used the noise effect!

help me paint a sculpture :D
by ♥ mizu @ Thu May 23, 2024 1:39 pm [Reply]

ok so i've had my eye on this horsey sculpture at the thrift store ever since it came out and i've been waiting for it to go on sale so i could grab it. it finally did, and, since i've wanted to paint it since i first saw it, i figured maybe it'd be fun if i got my cs friends to help me?

Image

(i don't have a fully frontal image)

i know it might hurt some people that i'm painting it, but a) it doesn't go with my room, b) i waited to see if anyone else wanted it and they didn't, and c) the paintjob actually isn't as clean as it looks, it's a bit uneven looking :c i think it's also one of those things meant to be painted as the inside is hollow and there's no paint there. there isn't even a brand

i originally wanted to paint cupid on it or maybe even eva. stormy would be cute too, or maybe apricot. i also have closed species horses but i'm not as connected with those guys. i want to do something that's simple enough i can do with just a paintbrush and sponge but not simple like spirit, even though i love him. i could also do a fandom character. so, what do you guys think? literally any suggestions welcome, i won't be offended x)

kaju @ Thu May 23, 2024 1:44 pm

    voting for eva or apricot, would be a fun challenge! however any of your characters would look lovely painted, great find bliss!! please update us when you finish <3 cant wait to see what you do!

    I agree, or even sephora!

coffee.berry @ Thu May 23, 2024 4:39 pm

    okay first of all that horse sculpture looks ADORABLE!!
    you're so lucky to have found it hehe :3
    i feel like all of those horsies would be pretty good for
    the design, but cupid would be most fitting because of
    the simple yet cute design!! or else my advice would be
    to find some spin the wheel site and put your chosen
    horses there and whichever the wheel lands on, paint!
    omggg im actually so excited to see how this comes out
    weee <3

      thanks again to molotov for the amazing sea monster design.

rainbowpanda101 @ Mon Jun 10, 2024 11:23 am

Oooooo! This turned out so neat! I thought the sketch was really cool, but the way you colored it definitely upgraded its coolness.

no im serious tess is such a queen. she releases a whole pet adoption site in 2008 and draws all the art for it for FREE then it becomes the biggest pet adoption site in the 2010s?? and it becomes the staple of so many people's childhoods? people have literally turned art into their career because of cs. tess you are a girlboss fr im serious. taylor swift who i only know TESS

i wonder how she takes care of all four hundred forty-two million, three hundred eighty-eight thousand, four hundred sixty-one pets on this site. that must be a lot of food and kibble guys. she has a BIG JOB

i never draw canines but i think this is ok. i would draw nick too but idk his fursona ok. same with simon he is so epic too

Pride Kelso Shetland Pony #003 based on this drawing by kaju
by TheKiwiKat @ Sun Jun 02, 2024 2:14 pm [Reply]

Kelso Shetland Ponies, originating in the historic town of Kelso, Scotland, this breed is known most for their compact build and for being extremely hardy and resilient. Ranging anywhere from 7 hands to 12.2 hands, the KSBA recognises any coat color and pattern found in the world of equine genetics. Though it is not entirely recommended for adults to ride them due to their smaller stature, they excel in driving, farmwork, sports, in-hand showing, jumping and more. Their playful personality and friendly demeanor make for the perfect companion.

i love chicken smoothie :) i think about how much cs has helped me often, and it's something that's really opened my eyes to how much this site has changed me for the better. when i found cs, i was a very sheltered person. my parents didn't let me have any social media (like pinterest, instagram, etc.) so i was confined to browser-based games even though my computer was never checked. i was just too scared to stray from kids platforms, y'know?

anyway. the kindness and warmth from the cs community is genuinely unparalleled. the site is easy to navigate and it introduced me to the world of digital artwork, which is something i've spent thousands of hours doing at this point. i've made so many amazing friends and gotten SO much comfort from this site. i was in a very, very dark place when i first joined (you can see from my old points how insecure i was LOL) but the safety of the site was like the perfect place to foster my personality. i honed the way i talk to people on here before replicating it in real life and have grown to become quite the chatterbox both irl and online lol. cs allowed me to feel like a silly little girl again when i was never really able to when i was younger. i LOVE chicken smoothie. it has so many niches, and i've found mine. i love the equine community on here. the artists, the adopters, the art fanatics, have all been so lovely. i've adopted plenty of gorgeous characters which bring me an indescribable amount of comfort to look at, draw, and write for. i really love chicken smoothie and everything it's exposed me to. :)

      a little cliche considering where i'm posting this but 😭 i love horses. my three boys, specifically, but also just horses and horseback riding in general! i own two chestnut nutcases (finn half arab half appy, lou full aqh) and a big bay mutt boy named chief (who is definitely part draft of some sort) and i love them all so very dearly. i also fell in love with the lesson horse i'd ridden for about 13 years before buying finn,,, the cutest and brattiest little blue-eyed paint. horses are honestly such a big part of my life and have taught me so much throughout it that i don't know where i'd be without them dhfjdhf. i love working with my boys (even if i'm only riding/training one right now) and just loving on them and building that bond <3 chief gives really good hugs and finn gives kisses and lou has the brightest smile around,, they genuinely just make my day so much better the instant i see them :,)
