It's really choppy and suuuuuper scribbly because I took like 30 seconds to draw each frame. Please fill in the gaps and gloss over the art with your wonderful imagination! I made it in Windows Movie Maker which is an absolutely evil program =o=
I'll try to fix up the ugly pictures and maybe add some color when I have time, and reupload another version later :b (don't know when though.) For now feel free to watch this one and laugh at it huhuhu

Eurovision nightGot myself some ice cream and will be making myself compfy on the sofa so I'm ready for the big, glittery, horrible music, camp, pointless politics, drama that is eurovision. It never disappoints me.

Sadly I will be alone for this one. Matt had to do a concert he didn't want to do, so I will be live tweeting (humonlazydiva) my impression of the whole shebang.

The Echo chamber dilemmaThe promise of the Internet was that unlimited information and experiences would draw us together. But instead it seems to have driven us apart.
For years I've observed this behavior but haven't been able to vocalize it correctly. Originally I called the behavior of collective opinions as "the hive mentality" of the Internet. But that wasn't exactly right and I often got called out on it. The most prominent example was when I made a comic about a guy disagreeing with opinions and being shouted at till he remained quiet, eventually fading into the background with everyone else. The consensus of that comic was that if you disagree with someone you aren't bullied into not speaking, but instead are free to go someplace else where people who do agree with you exist. And you know what? That wasn't what i was trying to convey, but is sadly true. The Internet is not a hive mind. It's many tiny pocket echo chambers of mutual agreements.
And this is becoming a growing problem, I think, because n

Improving Through Critique

Wed Apr 18, 2012, 10:41 PM by ~orangel8989

Improvement and quality are two of our biggest goals here at #MLP-VectorClub. We love seeing people go from having no clue as to what they’re doing to an amazing high quality path tool master. Still, there is always room for improvement, even for more weathered ones.

The admins are always willing to provide advice for people who would like it. Whether it’s just quick pointers or an in-depth “fix-all,” we’re here to assist people in becoming a better vector artist. There are several ways to ask for help:

Place a badge in the comments section of your submission. (That’s iconccwelcomedplz1 and iconccwelcomedplz2) By using these, our vector inspectors will know to take a close look at your image and point out any errors they can find, major and minor. While we do check every vector before it’s approved, adding this badge will show us that you would like some more help than normal, and appreciate criticisms. You can also add the badge to the description to show others you're looking for feedback. This lets everybody know you're looking for ways to improve so they can go on a hunt for errors.

If you have a vector you'd really like to polish up, you can get one-on-one feedback privately by contacting one of us admins individually. We'll pick on every little error we see and fuss about things until you fix them. It sounds harsh, but isn’t that what you wanted?

Check out our sister site on reddit: r/MLPVectors! Here countless others can (and will!) critique your vector if you ask. Also, if you need help with something specific to your application, there are countless others who watch the subreddit who are willing to help. It’s a great place to learn and share knowledge.

Also, we'd like to hear from you guys about the new quality standards. Are you seeing lots of errors, or is quality not an issue for you?

We really want to hear from y’all so please leave a comment below!

:iconrainbowdashchickenplz: xDDD didnt work

~Rubez2525 Nov 6, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

I have a question, I put a

badge in the comments section of a submission request, but I didn't get a response, just an approval after a few days. Just to make sure I did it right, do I simply add the request to put the submission in the gallery, then go to the correspondence message and add the badge on the comments of the submission request?

*SilverRainclouds Nov 7, 2012 Digital Artist

Leaving a comment is a fine for making the badge visible to the VIs. We probably just didn't see anything worth noting on your submission. :3

~Rubez2525 Nov 7, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Well, it would be nice to be told there isn't anything worth noting. It is very disappointing not to get a response to a critique request.

*Eagle1Division Apr 24, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

At least you got approved >.>

~MrHugoDrax Nov 3, 2012

Hay - feel free to Critique any of my work - I'm always trying to improve so any pointers would be nice. Also just realized the program I'm using PS is not recommended so I guess I'm doing things the hard way XD.

*RainbowPlasma Apr 19, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

I frequent /r/MLPVectors to give constructive criticism, and I would love the opportunity to get more people submitting there. We've got some REALLY, REALLY talented people over there who are more than willing to help young vectorererers improve.

*kittyhawk-contrail Jun 21, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

How long does one typically have to wait to get feedback? I posted a full scene I created and it was well received (+17) but have received no actual feedback despite putting [C] in it's title. Should I just submit it to this group despite my own nagging feelings that something is off?

*RainbowPlasma Jun 21, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Well, here at the Vector Club it's more likely that you'll get a critique done. It's much more option on the sub.

*GeoNine Apr 19, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

I'm liking this idea! I'll probably use it when I make ponies again.
