Title: where did creampuf go?
Post by: creampuf on June 06, 2012, 07:48:58 AM: Figured it was easier to announce this here...

1. I will respond to PMs...if you miss me just PM me ^_^
2. Yes I'm still in the custom game... finishing up current commitments and wont' be taking commissions.
3. Yes I miss you all

Now here's the news:

Not only has life been busy but it's been exciting.

If you have friended me on Facebook you'll know this announcement is coming.

I'm writing a book...my book on customs...."Beyond the Pony"

It's probably going to be over 300 pages or so (currently have 100 and not even half way done...of course that may change depending on the type and layout) ...including pictures...lots of pictures. I will include just about EVERYTHING I know.

Basics from cleaning to designing to hairing to photography to selling
Dyeing
Airbruhsing...full body and gradients
Sculpting: pegasi: traditional feather, bat wings and more artistic styles, mermaids, unicorns and clothing
Fantasy Film Wings and merpony fins
I will cover all gen 1, gen 3 and gen 4...sorry no gen 2 or 3.5

I will be putting my project on KickStart for crowd funding(I don't' know if the PMs would allow me to post a link but I will share it on Facebook)...depending on how funding goes this book will be printed or digital only or both. If funding exceeds expectations parts of the book will be redone as video tutorials....those may be free or available on iTunes.

why funding? There are a good number of costs involved and even if it's just a self published digital format self publishing house have fees attached for things like...copy editing, ISBN and eReader conversion. Also... something this big will require time off...which means I need to recoup some costs from lack of paycheck. (Sorry if that sounds crappy...but ti's honest)

So that's where I have gone and I'm really excited and hope you are too.
