My Little Soapbox

Hey-howdy! I'm Average Joe, or AvgJoe, or Maelstrom's mod, or just Joe,or Graphire, or whatever. Just call me "Joe". This is just my little space on the net to post images, trades, concepts, or reblogs, whether or not they have to do with Maelstrom STUFF. Questions and requests are cool, too. Maelstrom Answers Maelstrom is REDACTED. //Warning// Things here could potentially get NSFW, should the whim strike me. Watch at your own risk. The reality is, this has become my soapbox. I'm more than likely going to whine here. So, communicate, don't; doesn't matter! I'm just a shadow these days. Skype: sagsun-the-jedau

HEY

@askeverfreerat

I did things. Thing’d at least three times.

Is that thing enough?

[joedustuff]

Look, a thing. 

Shhhhhh

[nightguardmod]

So, Bronycon 2015 pics!

I’m really bad at remembering to take photos, but I did find 10.

Villians cosplayers. Very neato and r63.

Princess Big Mac. Now canon!

Wonderbolts. I’m so jelly; they pull it off so wonderfully.

Ghostbuster Pinkie Pie. She had this neato backpack and everything.

Nic Cage with the Declaration of Independence of Equestria.

And he’s fighting Tom Cruise. I don’t understand it either, but it’s awesome.

Poor Lyra. I derped and didn’t realize Lyra was headed to the hotel, so they’re probably baking in this.

Lace was taking a photo of damnitdeetherin and joedustuff, a very awesome couple. So I took a selfie of her taking their photo.

And just a straight photo of her taking their photo. Because I am a butt.

damnitdeetherin mentioned being creeped out by costumed characters (fursuits) and honestly, that’s totally understandable. I was, too, before I started costuming. So I had her try on Charm (Lace’s character)’s head to get a feel for it. And Joe took a photo for blackmail purposes.

Got to meet so many awesome people, I can’t list them all.

[joedustuff]

And blackmail I did, though she did flip me off, so I can’t show the pic to many . . . sadface.

Clean sketch commission for joedustuff of R63 pardusnix in a maid outfit~

Thanks!

[joedustuff]

Whee! It’s a thing now!

Pleasure doing business with ya!

[joedustuff]

And thus the magic is revealed!

This is what each panel and pic looks like, as one massive layer, before I break it  down into a post. Just thought I'd show it off, as both a post and a preview for the next one!

Dumb thing

So I was wondering. I've been thinking for a long time now, but I've hit a bit of an impasse. Well, that's not true. It's more like a wall. Made of steel. With concrete insulation. Full of spiteful hateful, shades of middle grey. The artists' bane.

I've sorta been wanting to revive the Maelstrom blog, but how should I do it? More importantly, SHOULD I even do it?

[hobbs-art]

pardusnix didn’t believe we could draw his sona as a female.

we all begged to differ.

[pardusnix]

I. HATE. ALL OF YOU

[joedustuff]

It's a thing. It will be.

[joedustuff]

Was trying to do a grumpy bug horse study . . .

Instead, I got fifty shades of frowns.

[joedustuff]

This thing has been in progress since November.

Like I said, I'm scum.

[joedustuff]

Sometimes, I like to think I came from somewhere, maybe improved.

And then I squint and realize he's not even recognizable anymore.

[joedustuff]

Hahaha, oh god. I've forgotten how to draw. Again.

JFK, I feel like scum.

[joedustuff]

Had a friend redline the last set. So, little better. Uncanny valley and/or looks like ass, though. Need to fix it

And maybe not post up every little doodle I do XD

[joedustuff]

Re-horse-ification. Trying to . . . ah, hell. I have no clue! Basically horse-fail

[joedustuff]

I might even draw on model next time!

[joedustuff]

Cow butt

[joedustuff]

Heyyo. Dee and I are looking for more for Gundam Breaker and a few other games. Anyone out there have a PS3?

[joedustuff]

Oh look! Assets and props~

Just gonna put this here for a bit of "show your work".
