Coming right up
Why are you not celebrating with your girlfriend, cyoag?
>>25947801
Hooves would scuff up my floors. I'll visit her later tonight.
>>25947801
Be cause my last GF broke up with me almost two years ago and never told me exactly why.
I'm over her, but not over the misery that put me through.Jk lol, :^)
>>25947801
But Anon, she's r-right here.
I'm sick and stuck inside tonight.
Any of my players ready to go right now?
>>25947801
>>25947801
oh, so you think you're fucking funny, huh? look out everybody, we got a fucking jokester over here. you fucking piece of shit, ill fucking tear your guts out and drape them around you like christmas decorations, hows that for a celebration, you miserable little fuck?
First off: I'm NOT a good artist
This is what i'm working on just because I've never drawn a pony or human from this perspective.
What should coppers hair look like?
And yes i realize moon man looks stubby, because i fucked up his height to width ratio.
>>25947903
Happy New Year, anon. Don't worry, I'm sure you'll find a girlfriend in the brand new year,

>implying im not killing myself this year
>>25948392
But what about CYOAs?
>>25948162
It's been pretty sweet to see how much her character has been broken down and unmade by Carcasonne.
At the beginning, she wanted to help everyone as much as she could, even a pretty friendly pony, especially towards Pitch. Hell, she even leaped into Pitch's hooves and cried her eyes out at one point.
Now she's only out for herself. Like you said, Chalk's a cold, heartless, manipulative bitch.
>>25948419
CYOAs are done, this is just the farewell party.

I think you're overstating her change really. Chalk hasn't changed so much as she's realized that the only way to get by in Carcasonne is to be a hardass. You don't keep the people you're protecting in line and they'll get themselves killed. That plus nearly everyone there has an ulterior motive, which sometimes not even they know about. Add in literal mind control and her actions make sense really.
What's your New Year's resolution /CYOA/?
>>25948424
Get in with a group by being sweet and friendly, keep control of a group by being a hardass with a candy coating. She's still perfectly sweet when it aids in keeping ponies in line. Look at Lovesick and the foal. The tools she had available changed, not her personality.

>>25949041
so yes? got it
>>25948424
>>25948550
>>25948617
A bit of both methinks. Like it seems odd for her to ever act vulnerable and bawl her eyes out again, for example. Ultimately, she wants to do the right thing and protect ponies and that's never changed. She also was always harsh and brutal against most enemies she's came across (Pretty much every enemy she spared, sans Lovesick, surrendered to us when we had a knife to their neck. Other times she killed several mutants/cults with no remorse or even a chance to know who they were). However, since she did this to a familiar character, it makes her cruel nature seem more apparent (it also was a bit more rough than the previous times she's threatened ponies to get them to talk, but in context it justified it a bit more). Though ultimately, I don't think she has grown crueler yet, but she has had to act cruel to more and more ponies to get what she wants.
Although if things get worse for her, say someone else in her group stabs her in the back or a disaster occurs, she'll likely start on that downward spiral into becoming a bitch. And then probably something much worse than that.Speaking of characters becoming horrible monsters of the course of the CYOA. I can't wait to do the Lovesick flashback
>>25948608
To return after having learned some things, to learn much more.And have fun even though I'm still shit.
>>25949110
Having to beat and threaten the pony she's shown the most trust and affection with his life was brutal. I don't regret it but now that she understands why he did it we can try to help Pitch with his situation.
>>25949333
gud duble
>>25949333
Best little mare.
Treads is for cuddling and booping
>>25949284
Yeah, that was rough. Him saying he didn't kill Moony right alongside a bunch of obvious lies didn't make things easy. He got off really lightly all things considered.
>>25949333
What kind of tank is that?
>>25949521
An M60 Patton if I had to wager.
>>25949545
>Escape hatch on the side
>Rear turret thing
>No fume extractor
>Flat-ish engine deck
>Flat turret faces
>Grey
It's some panzer if anything.
>>25949521
who cares?
tanks are not real anyways
>>25949587
Yeah but the roadwheels, return rollers match up. The gun mantlet doesn't fit any panzer I can think of, nor does turret shape. If anything it's an M60 dressed up to look liek a panzer.
>>25949333
Is that hair in her ear?
>>25949640
You could be right. I think the tank in >>25949333 is trying to be the Panzer III, but not quite getting there. The wheels do match the M60, but they also match the Panzer III, and the side hatches, turret bustle, and lack of a raised engine deck definitely match the Panzer III. Also, the barrel isn't long enough to be the Patton's gun, but IS long enough to be the 50mm KwK 39 L/60 (although Sturmwind actually uses the 50mm KwK 38 L/42).
Anyway, new Galloping Steel thread tomorrow.
>>25949714
Seems like it. Dunno, I just color the lines. Looks like 35 doesn't normally color it differently from the coat like I've been doing.
>>25949521
No idea.
It's over, anon.
>>25949714
I like it
>>25949729
Glad you're still around.
>>25949729
I think the things that caused the most confusion are that he forgot the upper hull entirely and the turret looks too rounded.
Also everything looks too well-sloped to be a panzer.
>>25949729
>new thread
HYPE
>>25949640
this: >>25949729
The panzer 3 also has 3 return rollers, and 6 road wheels. The featureless gun also matches up with a 50mm as there

lel wanting art of a dead quest
Well, my last thread is kill, so Imma start up either tomorrow or Saturday night again with a new one. Hope everyone's new year's stuff is going well.
Question during the downtime: is there anything y'all see that I could improve on, story-wise?
>>25950159
Yeah, it looks mecha-nical.
>>25950182
Starting now, because I fell asleep and took too long.
>>25950135
Lel who cares xd
>>25950138
>>25950159
Does this look like mecha to you?
>>25950159
That mech is just sitting down.
>>25950161
I think the story has been going well. It's been following the logic of a filly starting from nothing. Though we're also starting from nothing so things are a bit slow and not doing enough exploring.

You better do. Occasional or even semi-frequent (small) mistakes are no deal-breaker, but if they accumulate too much, it just kills the immersion. If you're not a native speaker, you'll have to work twice as hard. I'm not a native speaker either and my english is far from perfect, but I'm not running a questanymoreeither.
