The harshest thing is, if your hero has a group, sometimes you have to kill members of that group in battle...
I don't get how this applies?

Sorry. It's an old writer's problem. The more you like a character, the more you have to put them through. I mean, look at Miles O'Brien from Star Trek Deep Space 9. Popular character. Put on Trial by the Cardassians, infected by a plague, given twenty years of prison memories for something he didn't do, cloned as part of a plot. The Clone driven half mad by paranoia and the original forced to watch the clone die. He starts minimal time travelling in which he sees himself die twice and the entire station blown apart before he swaps places with the slightly future Miles and dies of radiation poisoning, he's fought in the Cardassian Wars and the Dominion War... Basically, they threw everything at him. They made him suffer. And that was because they LIKED him.

What I said about heroes and groups is something from a tutor. If a group keeps going into battle and winning without loss, there's no point to the battle because there is, simply, no threat. I believed that is what Amazee was alluding to. The good guys have to be capable of loss or being wounded, that's all, D.

I see. I think Dayzee was just saying that she tends to obsess over characters and often likes to see them put through humiliation through often similar gags. And it’s not like none of my characters have issues. Just that I need to actually draw them with said issues.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Thu Jul 23, 2020 4:31 pm

I am well aware that I obsess over things that are a bit annoying to other people but I honestly can't help it if I do it. I suffer from OCD so its not like its on purpose. I try as hard as I can to stop. Medication helps somewhat but there is always the urge in the back of my head to do something.

Right now that urge here is me asking if David ever got hit in the face with a pie (I also have the urge to kick myself for wasting that prompt on Sickle)

Weapons for Marble.

: magic orbs.png (207.87 KiB) Viewed 4889 times

Marble – It’s not rare for individuals to be born with strange abilities, and Marble was among them. She can manifest these orbs to use as weapons, both for close-quarters and ranged. However, they’re only as strong as marbles of their size, and can only be flung around with the same strength as Marble can naturally muster. They also fade away once Marble is no longer using the ability.
Liquid Chaos – One of the first new spells that Marble found while searching for David. Caused more damage than her standard abilities, but its liquid nature made it harmful even to the wielder. This didn’t get much use.
Magic Gem – Another spell from her travels, this one is sought out for its beauty. Like most of her other orbs, these fade away once they’re not in use, therefore these can’t be used for monetary gain.
Wheel of the Throne – Allegedly an artifact of the Heavens. Powerful and easily repels dark forces, however it exacts a harsh cost on the wielder. After using it to fend off a horde of monsters from a village she was staying at, Marble passed out. She awoke with the artifact missing and no longer able to manifest its power.
Bound Demon Soul – Said to have been used by sorcerers by draining the eternal life force of the demon inside for power. However, in reality the demon was weaving its influence on the user. Marble almost fell victim to this power, however a wandering coyote bard was able to break its grasp on her. The strange musician stated that he would make sure the artifact was properly taken care of. Like with the Wheel of the Throne, Marble found herself unable to use the ability again.
Grand Particle – Some time after David signed his services to the demi-goddess, Mirage, the bard would once again appear, giving her this spell and sending her on a quest. The orb proved to hit hard, but it’s unexpected weight took a toll on Marble.
Coyote’s Howl – After completing the mission, the bard revealed himself as the turned demon, Macabre. He stated that he wanted her to aid David in a quest to bring down a warlock planning conquest, to which she accepted.

Is it wrong that I thought at first when I saw the "Bound Demon Soul" marble that I thought it looked like a Gengar? XD

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Fri Jul 24, 2020 10:35 am

Gengar?

And I’m just bad at designing spirits. Didn’t realize similarities at the time.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sat Jul 25, 2020 12:48 am

It's not really that bad. You didn't copy it outright.

Though that spirit WOULD make a good pre-evolution for Misdreavous though. XD

Decided to do a little bit of expression practice, and found this chart. So I opened to to suggestions on Discord. Surprise, surprise, only one taker so far. Still, this was interesting to work on.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Mon Jul 27, 2020 12:13 am

That pose reminds me of a pose i saw a while ago but I do like how it came out.

Post by **D-Rock** » Mon Jul 27, 2020 12:14 am

Thanks! It was good practice.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Mon Jul 27, 2020 12:15 am

Never a good idea to **** off someone who originated from hell. He looks absolutely FURIOUS.

Post by **D-Rock** » Mon Jul 27, 2020 12:19 am

Indeed. Not sure I know a situation where he'd be like this. I like to imagine that he bent Sickle's spine every possible direction without so much as a word after the initial warning, which was delivered calmly.

Perhaps Lilith trying to be buddy-buddy with him after their first encounter.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Mon Jul 27, 2020 8:47 am

Well that certainly is a bit disturbing. I would hope that Sickle has a high pain tolerance.

Probably goes with being a creature like Sickle.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Tue Jul 28, 2020 1:01 am

His reaction to being stuffed in a soda can and crushed hard by Mirage in her Celestial form was to just say "Ow" so I would imagine short of tearing him limb from limb (which Mirage did do in a universe where she was a predator and he was pray) he wouldn't feel anything except a minor pinch.

Post by **D-Rock** » Wed Jul 29, 2020 1:46 am

Well, good news is that if she can help it, Mirage makes her prey suffer as little as possible. Even when it was Sickle. She has standards.

Anyway, got more expression practice done. This was suggested by someone on a different Discord server than the Housepets one.
Frankly, I feel that today was an off-day for me.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Wed Jul 29, 2020 10:08 am

That why you are looking like that then?

Post by **D-Rock** » Wed Jul 29, 2020 9:21 pm

Suggested by Obbl. Definitely came out better than the last one.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Thu Jul 30, 2020 1:26 am

Now I wanna know what you are excited about? This picture coming out well?

Post by **D-Rock** » Thu Jul 30, 2020 2:40 am

I guess so.

Oh, how I wish it was so.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Fri Jul 31, 2020 4:55 am

For those that don't know, it was mine and Serence's 5th anniversary last weekend!

Rick's July patreon sketches gave me the perfect opportunity to get her a gift!

It wasn't the gift she was expecting though.

But hey, she knew what she was getting herself into when she started dating a toon!

... Do you think we'll get a 6th anniversary?

I'd say yes. So long as you never send Amazee the video(!)

Post by **Obbl** » Fri Jul 31, 2020 7:19 am

Happy Anniversary!!!! Thanks for sharing this with us!

Post by **D-Rock** » Fri Jul 31, 2020 7:55 am

Well, is it Serence’s favorite flavor? Might net you some points.

Cesco · Post by **Cesco** » Fri Jul 31, 2020 2:59 pm

Really nice draw you got from Rick, Furrhan, and Serence is victim of a classic joke.

Great anniversary you two!

Also, good work there again, D-Rock.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Fri Jul 31, 2020 5:25 pm

Now is the perfect time for me to seek out Serence and give her revenge ideas. XD

My part of an art trade with DA user, Nightshade-TheArtist. This is her character, Yinnie Takahashi. She's a red panda, though has quite a unique design. I decided to try my hand at pose practice while I was at it.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sat Aug 01, 2020 3:17 am

That has come out very cool! Wonderful job there Rocky!

Post by **D-Rock** » Sat Aug 01, 2020 3:19 am

Thanks. I’ll post her side of the trade when she finishes it.

Post by **D-Rock** » Sun Aug 02, 2020 1:17 pm

And here’s Nightshade’s part of the trade. https://twitter.com/nightshadeplace/sta ... 82496?s=21

I really love how that picture of Mirage came out! She is just so adorable!

Post by **D-Rock** » Thu Aug 06, 2020 1:45 pm

Macabre loves to see Mirage smile. Most others find it unnerving.

Used an image of Fido and Sabrina as a reference.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Thu Aug 06, 2020 5:58 pm

I don't know why people would find it unnerving. Just don't **** her off in a realm where you are prey to her predator and you will be all good. Don't get her angry at all. Anyway. nice work on this!

Post by **D-Rock** » Thu Aug 06, 2020 9:53 pm

Thanks.

The reason why it could be unnerving is due to the fact that despite her spikes, she looks like any adorable hare, but once she smiles, it's sharp scary carnivore teeth. Like a yawning cat.

Really nice gift Hlaoroo. And so began the coldest winter in Australia, where everyone got repaid for the icing with ice.

I thought this was a good sketch. For some reason, it kind of reminded be of Larry David (probably the glasses and expression). Cue "Curb Your Enthusiasm" theme.

What, did Mirage make a joke about the mate of someone she flirted with coming for revenge?

In this doodle, Arezzo and Jacque are trying to stop Mulder- the gator/croc guy in the middle- from transforming the sun. If Mulder succeeds, the sun will emit a light that converts the world into a giant rotting bog. In this bog, the dead are reanimated into new grotesque lifeforms. Needless to say, Arezzo finally met someone who completely outclassed him in strength and ability.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Fri Aug 07, 2020 1:57 am

Nice work as always Nicky! It came out awesome! Hope that he doesn't succeed in making the world a bog that would give a gas station bathroom a run for its money.
