"Ask" Buckminster

Queries, questions and reactions to a certain blue stallion with a knack for building things and stuff. Again, apologies in advance to any eardrums ruptured and windows broken - it's all in the name of progress. See more here | Art Blog | Mod Blog | DA

An eternal mood.

Hmm, what’s gotten him all flustered?

Safety first!

And the fire rises again.

First of all, I would like to make a heartfelt apology to people who may have assumed I’ve ran away or left for different pastures. The past year and a half had been hell for me, a true roller coaster of events that put a damper on my ability to draw - and for a while, I was completely unable to at all. Between working building management, air traffic control school, and now (since I didn’t make it) looking to survive the pandemic, it’s been a real struggle.  

As I did with my last announcement, I’m giving my pending commission clients the option to contact me for any adjustments or changes to the art I still owe you all. I am working on them all right now, capitalizing on the vast reserves of time I suddenly have from the COVID quarantine, and I had been hoping you would reach out to me on channels other than DeviantArt (especially my social media channels, since I’m more active there) to discuss them with me.  

And finally, know that I will be posting more content here soon. I haven’t been completely idle in the year and a half I was absent from here, and as the title suggests, I’m now raring to show more of what I’m working on.

I cannot guarantee I’ll be able to look into my notes, equal parts due to my anxiety and generally being busy, and I highly prefer you send me a message privately over said channels.  

In the meantime, you can find a slightly more updated set of my artworks on my Derpibooru listing, artist:buckweiser.  

This post was originally posted on my DeviantArt journals, here.

I’ll be posting stuff soon.

Random Soldier of the Week #71, Buckminster

Once a week, I will draw a random soldier from either side of the War. If you submit your OC, it has a fighting chance of being drawn. This is a free commission. This week it’s Buckminster, Weapons Development Engineer. His creator is a great artist who you should definitely check out at bucky-mod.tumblr and askbuckminster.tumblr.

[askbuckminster]

Looks like they finally hired me after all! ((Seriously, go check asktheguardponies out, they're amazing, and a real inspiration of mine.))

Hey folks, just a quick plea from us at the FOB. Some members of the community have opened up an appeal for a very worthy cause! If you’re interested in giving a little then check out this link: http://www.gofundme.com/DaryllToUSA

[[Hey guys, so apparently the guys over at FOB Equestria are attempting to raise funds to get me to BronyCon 2015. In case you missed it, here’s the link: http://www.gofundme.com/DaryllToUSA If y’all are interested, do take a gander at it. Your support is much appreciated.]]

How many trees would a buckminster buck if a buckminster could buck trees?

You should know by now that I’d probably automate it.[[In other news, I’m back folks! Ask me more stuff!]]

[old30minchallenge]

Some of us have more conventional methods than others, heh.

Here’s hoping you’re nice and warm wherever you are :3 and that we’ll see you for the next challenge!

Sadly Fearingfun got left out in the cold on this challenge it seems :’D better luck next time. Happens to everyone now and then I’m sure.

[askbuckminster]

Anypony remember those industrial-sized hairdryers that one time? They make for an excellent warm air curtain.

Selling Shirts Here

I’m selling some of my previous works and graphics projects as T-shirts here. If there is a market out there, I might move to Redbubble to sell other merch, but for now I would like to see where this goes here.

Momentary Suspension of Activity

I will be intermittent with tumblr activity on my askbuckminster and artbybuckweiser blogs until March 2015 due to my thesis.

Buckminster, y u so sexy

No idea at all.

[askbuckminster]

Hello! Whoa whoa... You know... You seem to be sick, 'cause you're positively blue!

Is there such a thing as being music-sick?

These old tape reel computers are so durable I can sit on them all day.

Behind the scenes while recording "To The Uninitiated".

[askbuckminster]

To the Uninitiated. [[The blue pony set up the camera on its tripod, grumbling and cursing to himself while fiddling with the settings for recording. Blasted technology, making it harder and harder to figure it out, he murmured. Finally, he stood still, waiting for a red light to blink, before smiling and waving at the camera.]] "Hello, and welcome to my little corner of the internet. My name is Buckminster; I am an engineer by profession, and I live and work in Manehattan. However, lately I've been moving around, mostly because the rent in the Big Apple is too much for us to stay there. We eventually moved back to my mom's old house in Ponyville for the time being. Soon, you'll be able to see more of me again, as some have seen about two years back. I'll be documenting my life here occassionally, and you'll probably see me do some weird shit every now and then. Do ask questions about me or anything you can think of - but don't be surprised if I don't answer immediately; I am a very busy pony after all."
