Thanks for the vid, Nop
I always find it interesting to find out how others draw. I think Readytodream also uploaded a video once, but I can't recall what it was called. :/
By the way, I does anyone remember what the forum was called that one of the artists created after 7/10? We used it mainly as a chat thread but we still posted a lot of art on it too. Was hoping if I could find it, then I might be able to recover some old art works.
EDIT: Found it.
Won't post the link since that's probably a no-no. Uuurgh, and I named my account Saphi-socks *cringes at 12 year old me*
Another edit: Would it be unethical to post some of the older artists work to celebrate their art? I mean, we're pretty lax nowadays in terms of copying, and these people were my buddies.

Mashpotato drew "talk in ascii" and then got a temp forum ban. Froggyjojo tried to narrate the event through ASCII pictures and also got banned. Obviously none of us were too happy about this and subsequently +- 6 artists were banned due to our responses.
After that a few artists quit and things kinda just died down. So the remaining artists resorted to posting on this external forum for communication, but that too eventually died.
Ah yes, I knew that sounded familiar. I remember some people talking about it a long time ago.

--- I believe a similar thing actually almost happened in 2010. Eventually we reached some sort of compromise with the mods that we would post some ascii as well, not just chat. Although for a time we just used
