Last thread hit post limit: >>11553

However, Maxxie seems to be having some terrible trouble IRL at the moment. Also, and to be honest, I think we've been pushing a lot of requests on her, but we seldom give anything back to her, (except for the great colourists like Pacce and 166). I know I'm guilty of this.

So, the theme of this Maxxie thread is not just to appreciate her art, but also Max as a person. Thus, I'm asking the people who usually visit these threads to try their hands at drawing something for Max, instead of asking her to draw.

While we can't help her IRL, I think its the most the rest of us can do.

Anything. If you all want to work together on a collab, sure. If you want to post individual pieces, why not.

But just as long as you'd think it'd cheer Max up as a person. And yes, I'm gonna try, even though my own art stinks like a bunch of mouldy socks in the attic.

Coming to think about it, I have yet to start that amateur thread.... you know what ? Let this be the "amateur" thread untilI start the one. All you anons who ask max for requests, draw soemthing, even if you think you can't draw. MLP got me to start drawing after quite a while, and writing poetry after a year long hiatus, and I'm sure that it can awaken something creative in you.

Woah there, fellas. Settle down here. This isn't Ponychan. We don't need to break out the hugbox on something that is none of our business.

I suggest we go on about our business, as if nothing had happened. Less drama that way.

I'd contribute something if I could. Obviously, it's in writing. But she really likes Paradise, I've always thought the best payback I can give is writing more chapters for consumption. But, I can at least drop this offer.

This may not be Ponychan, but Madmax is one of the biggest contributors in the fandom as a whole, and her comics are quite a big thing.

Also, Max is not starting a thread about her problems like the way some kids do on Ponychan. And there's also the possibility that something worse might happen if we don't do anything.

We don't even know what's wrong, man. It could be nothing.

Max once said she was what, 15? Kids that young tend to blow crap way out of proportion. Her boyfriend could have dumped her. She could have gotten a failing grade. Hell, I've seen worse from people just because the new car their daddy bought them was USED! My brother once had a mental breakdown due to the way people at school were treating him. He turned out fine.

All I'm saying is for everyone to calm the hell down. We have no goddamn clue what's going on. There is no reason to raise hell over something like this, especially with such little information.

You say that, but don't forget that there are people of the same age who suffer from clinical depression. I've seen these cases, and they can be severe.

All I'm saying is having a little compassion. Besides, I know Madmax has been harassed and being pushed with too many requests. I honestly hope you;re right, and it's not something serious.

Anyway, EqDaily now has a training ground request dedicated to Max. Somewhat:

It can actually be just about a pony drawing, but it'll be appreciated if you guys can include Max somehow.

Shit. I always thought Madmax was a nice girl (even though I never really talked to her) and to see this happen to her is just way too sad. So if any of you something of her's colored just post and I'll get it done. Here's one of her old comics I did a loooooong time ago and I have improved since.

And just in case your reading this Madmax I have a message for you. Don't you ever think about committing suicide. I've lost one of my close friends this past and I saw first hand what it can do to people. It's horrifying. No matter what dark and terrifying place your in it will get better, I promise this, I've seen it happen. Just remember whatever your dealing with is just temporary, and death is permanent. Please just remember there are those who love you both in life and online.

Suicide? Now that's a rather extreme thing to suggest considering that we know next to nothing about whats happening to Max right now.
While I support the whole drawing some art for Max thing (Because god knows how much she deserves it). I honestly don't think that we should be saying this kind of stuff unless you got the details of whats going on.
>> No. 14025

>suicide

Woah woah WOAH What the hell? Where are all these details suddenly springing from? I think this is the point where we all draw a line called ‘TAKE IT EASY’

Good god, I like Max, she’s probably my favourite artist in this entire fandom. And one of the things I respect her for (apart from her capacity to slave away drawing art for everyone) is the fact that, from what little I’ve seen, she’s a nice and fairly level-headed sort of person. Give the girl some credit. I for one am confident that she’s fully capable of rising above whatever is challenging her as of late.

My condolences for whatever has got you down Max. Hope it doesn’t keep you down for long. Stay awesome

>Where are all these details suddenly springing from?
Lack of information causes people to try and fill in the blanks for themselves, and in this case it's starting to go into runaway mode. Human nature I suppose.
Truth be told, I'm hoping it was just that she was just having a run of the mill shitty day and nothing too serious. But the details of that are none of my damn business. I thought some would have learned their lesson about overreacting to things, i.e. Lauren Faust's announcement at the end of Season 1.
In any case, if she needs something and we can help, I'm sure she'll let us know. Otherwise, just leave it be and give her space and time. If feel the need to do something, just partake in the Training Grounds theme for today.
Tomorrow is another day. Stay calm, and pony on.

OKay, I normally just.. lurk around here and there so I won't even pretend that I have any idea what exactly is happening out there nor how she feels right now, but I have to say that I greatly enjoy Max's works. Tl;dr I tried to draw a poni for her, my scanner's dead s I had to take a photo.

"I feel right now is the worst thing that someone can imagine. this is not the life I wanted, I'm scared and tired."
Thats why I posted that, it just sounded a lot worse to me than a bad day, but who knows right. Also staying up way too late and listening to sad music aided in my brains decision to write that Anywho get me something of her's to color, I'm need something to do.

>> No. 14041
Oh please this is rediculous, she'll be fine, besides there are many others out there that probably needed help like this but they got through it fine.

There are many artists out there who have tried giving to the community, but you all ignore them. But you know what? I'm going to help, even though I heavily disagree, I will help, since this fandom is about friendship and I will carry through on this even though you guys dont.

I'm hoping its not that extreme, but it could be anything, even something non-serious. That being said, I think the best thing to do right now is to give something back to Max since she's done so much.

All Im saying is, I seen many a poor artist go unloved and posted similar "Things are all going wrong" type of things. but no one payed them any attention, I did what I could.

There are there these drawfriends that post something and no one responds. whenever I see an empty thread, I take the effort to post something to say to them. that one comment could fuel that artist to make more.

When Madmax is now sad, everyones panicking and trying to thank her which is mighty fine. but why make a big deal out of Maxxies misfortune and not give 2 bits about all the others?

I'm just saying, that 1 comment to a fellow bronies art can mean alot, think about the little guys as well I suppose
>> No. 14055

Oh yeah. I read her journal early in the morning, I honestly thought she was just attention whoring since... Ya know. The spontaneous apology and the lack of details.
But seeing those posts got me worried now. Hopefully, its not the worst thing in the world, but in the chance it is...

Lets draw some god damn art.

Very few artists have posted the volume that Madmax has. The only artists that can compare are Megasweet and Kloudmutt. You could count johnjoseco and yamino, but they don't psot here.

tl;dr, many fanartists have come and gone throughout the period of the fandom, but madmax had been very constant, very jovial, very professional, and very productive. So when she starts acting irritable and feeling worthless, I'd think a lot of people would be worried.

I've seen a few that come close and that have been posting art from as soon as they joined the fandom...but really I wonder why there arent as many, because they dont get enough support.

Like I said earlier though, I have 100% faith that she'll be fine
>> No. 14061
>>14060
I have a few in mind who I do support, and would like to see them do more art. I even bump their threads once in a while, and plan to do so more often.

I admire your conviction. I really do. But the ambiguity of it, as well as association with cases that turned out bad lead me to think otherwise. I hope you understand.

And besides, its art: its not as if we're going to fly down to Brazil to try and help sort her problems out.

Some compassion is better than no compassion. I think most of us genuinely wish we could help everyone, but we all know that's just not possible. For now, let us just do what we can for Max. There are few artists as dedicated and hard-working as she is in this community.

Wow, I missed something didn't I?

Maxie, I hope you're okay, as Pacce and Slywit have said, I consider you one of my friends. So do what you have to do. If you're still looking at this thread every now and again, I have to say, you're brilliant. A terrific brony, really unmatched by anypony else. So, if you need time away, take time away, and I hope things get better. And if you can, just let me know you're alright.

Now, I like this idea. I'm going to go draw something for Madmax now.

Listen, Max. I'm not going to pretend to understand what's going on. I'm not going to pretend like I'm some kind of saint who can solve all the worlds problems. All I'm saying is, we can work this out if we just talk it through. But before we can do that, Max, you have to let the hostages go. At least the children and the elderly. As a show of faith. I know it wasn't you that rigged that bus to explode. I know it was Mendoza who set you up with that thing about the nuns and the pirates. Listen, why don't you put the rocket launcher down so that we can talk about where you hid the kilos of nose candy and the gold bullion. If you come back to the station, McLoed and The Chief have got a warm pot of coffee with your name on it. And your badge, Max, they'll give you back your badge.

I just remembered that RuBrony had hard times as well, he got fever and bad things in his life but no one supported him. Check his gallery, he did contribute no less than madmax.

Feels so bad pony. No one ever drew anything for him or posted words of support in his thread.

I understand your frustration, but you're being unreasonable. For the most part, it's nothing more than the unawareness of these situations. As someone mentioned before, we simply can't support every single person in the community in distress; we're not a rescue squad.

Is it fair that less popular artists in the same state as Madmax get barely any condolence? Of course not. Unfortunately, it's just the way the numbers fall.

I saw this going on and knew I had to add something, since this means a lot to me and I've been drawing every day for the training grounds event on EqD anyway. Then I got THIS idea, which I thought was genius at the time, I just hope not one takes it as smart-alecky because that's not how it's supposed to be at all -- it's supposed to represent a kid's innocent desire for someone they look up to to feel better and know they're cared about. (Also kinda represents my silly way of thinking I guess)

Seriously, though, Madmax has been such an awesome, integral part of this community since even before I very first found out about FiM back in January. Her style is adorable, her humor is awesome, and her ability to crank out content for us free of charge at such a rate is to be respected most highly.

No matter what she's going through, I hope that as soon as possible she can smile and be feeling great again -- she deserves it.

Look, I care about anyone having trouble in their lives, but some of us don't get around the community that much and don't see everything. I think remember the rubrony thing and I think remember giving him best wishes. However for me, I've kept up a correspondence with max and have a closer relationship her. And, unlike rubrony, max hasn't told us what's happening. That, combinded with the way she has worded her posts, makes it a more anxious situation.
>> No. 14127
>>14108
I didn't know about his plight.
If I did, I'd have offered him some good cheer or anything else I could to help out.

With Max, her situation was pointed out to me.

AND TO PUT AN END TO THE RUMOR MILL

I talked to Max. Things ARE bad, but she's not going to hurt herself or anything stupid like that. Support like this is appreciated and she's sorry about the drama her outburst caused.
>> No. 14130

Don't you dare thinking that you owe anything to us! The only thing you have to do is rest, try to stay calm, and awesome. Give the Internet a break and sit down with a cup of tea or something. I don't know who are you, what do you look like, where do you live, what problems do you have, but the only thing I know is that you can overcome every shit. Whatever life has done to you just say fuck you and be happy. I really hope things will get better soon and you'll get yourself together. You can do it! Maxie, you are fucking awesome. Stay classy.

Max, just talking to you and knowing you're ok is more than enough.

Man, that sounds so much like stuff I'd say. "I'm sorry. Everything's my fault. I'm sorry. I'm sorry."

I know I don't know the whole deal, but I can still guarantee you don't need to think you have to be so sorry. I can also guarantee that just being happy, or trying your best to even though I know it can be ridiculously hard sometimes, would make everyone concerned feel better than any amount of apologies.

And I don't think you should worry about drawing so much given all you've already done, I can totally see why you'd be burnt out on this at least for now or why you'd feel like you need a break. Just as long as you're still *around*, I think people'll be very happy with that.

Hey girl, I don't what problems you might have, but from a guy who has had the worse shit happen to him (trust me, I know bad) things only get better, you just got to find the way to do so.

You are made me happy, but I will be even happier if you take time to yourself to solve out whatever might be the issue. You have friends, friends that care enough for your to go into giant fright scares when they see you sad. Feel happy for that, use that to give you strength to go on.

I might not be able to do anything, I can barely do more than type with one hand on this dinky computer my family got me so I wouldn't get bored, but trust me when I say it gets better.

It's true that we can't support every artist in the fandom. Some of them have other obligations. Some of them just lose inspiration. That Madmax was a big contributor who did hundreds of pics does deserve a big tribute for her, but yes, we shouldn't forget those smaller artists.

We can't save or bump them all. But we can and must do our best for some, particularly the ones we like most. And we will keep doing it.

Because we are a rescue squad on the Internet. We sometimes go by the name of Anonymous. We sometimes go by an identity. And we can be anywhere. In any fandom.

But as long as you take it upon yourselves to consider there's another person on the other side of the screen who needs help on a particular occasion, and do your best to help, you are one of us.

And remember, if you ever feel alone, there's always someone out there, thinking, praying, and fighting, for you.

Max, your comics are outrageously funny, your art is great and in bountiful quantities, and from what little I've seen everyone cares about you. You're awesome, special and everything that comes with it.

Hugs and hang in there, better days are on their way.

You're being really ambiguous. I wish you would just state what was Madmax's predicament. From the way you stating it, its like as if she got into some financial trouble of some sort.

I know I shouldn't get involved, and I know it seems unreasonable for me to ask. but to be honest, I can think of a number of people, both anon and named, who really want to know what happened to Madmax, and you seem to be one of the few to know. So, unless Madmax gave you explicit reason not to share the problem, I really wish you would tell us.
>> No. 17614

I'm pretty proficient with computers/laptops and willing to lend my knowledge.

Just a couple of questions:

Does she already have an external drawing tablet or does she want a laptop that can become a tablet?

Since she has been drawing before, does she have a desktop to save her pictures on, or will this be a laptop where she keeps all her photos, etc.?

How much is she willing to spend (big question)?

Does she dislike or want to avoid any brands/models?

Will this be a desktop replacement laptop (not going anywhere, so portability and battery life aren't to big) or will she be going places with it, like an internet cafe, etc. (the previous attributes will be of more importance)?

That's all I can think of for now, and once I get responses I'll lend my searching hand.

Get well Maxie! Glad to her you are getting back on your feet.
>> No. 17615

Well, the first thing to gauge what will make a good laptop is to figure out what will be done with it. My assumption is that she will be using it for art mostly, more specifically, using art programs. It might help if you could find out what programs she is/will be using and look at their minimum/recommended system requirements. I'm guessing OpenCanvas, SAI, and Photoshop are some things she might be using?
I'd say a good minimum to start would be a Core i3 possessor, 4GBs of memory, and a 320GB hard drive should do fine. If she can get more than that with her budget, go for it. Doesn't hurt to future proof it and/or just plain get a longer life out of it.
One other thing I might ask is if she prefers Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux. I'm going to assume one of the first two. If it's OS X, I'd say go for a MacBook Pro 13" entry model. If she prefers Windows, there are a lot of choices and it comes down to what her brand preference is. My personal experiences with Dell, Toshiba, Lenovo, Sony, and HP have all been positive, so I'd say go with what works and/or fits the bill.
Best of luck and good hunting.

>> No. 17622

On the note of laptops, here's my two cents.

If you/she/anyone wants pen support in the laptop itself, the ThinkPads would be a good choice. If just a regular laptop you can hook up a tablet to, you can't really go wrong. ASUS and Sony both makes relatively good laptops for the price. If you don't mind the overpricing you could even go with a MacBook, too.
>> No. 17624
>>17617
The only problem I see with that is it's actually a netbook. It has a low power processor and no optical drive (CD/DVD). It will technically run some art programs, but they're going to crawl at times. Best to go for a full laptop.

Dell is a good choice for options and they tend to eb the cheapest. The 15R is a decent model. I checked and it is on their Spanish website, but it seems the price is a bit higher, maybe because of the VAT over there.

If Amazon will ship to Spain, I'd say give them a shot. Just looking real quick I found this:

Oh, and just to throw in my two cents with the laptop situation. ASUS laptops are great. Got mine for just under $700, but with the one-year insurance (replace the laptop, or pay the difference and get a better one with the junked laptop counting as a partial payment) for around another $100. Runs like a champ, and barring any catastrophe the Insurance will prove unnecessary. Even though the model I had only has about 3 USB ports, a single USB bus can dramatically increase the number of things you could plug into it.
...Long story short, ASUS is a good brand and a good buy. Fairly lightweight as well, all things considered.

All I can say is that the person I get to help me with tech stuff usually goes for special deals at Fry's, and seems to stick to HP's ones.

You're a fucking troll, you know that ? You're the same as the person whose been bumping old threads, and posting and deleting messages in some threads.

Cut that shit out. No one likes you, especially when you did this anonymously. This fandom is better off without fucktards like you.
>> No. 19728

I know people who dislike madmax but don't do the shit you do. And, to be hoenst, the amount of work she did, as well as her effort, puts her leagues ahead of most of her detractors.

And in the "shitter" ? Excuse me ? Who the fuck do you think you are to judge the fandom ? And Madmax didn't have episodes because of stuff on the web, she left because of stuff that mattered in IRL.

And no, it DOES matter when someone leaves the fandom. Particularly if it was someone who ahd been as prominent as Madmax. A whole day of art on Equestria Daily wouldn't have been dedicated without her in mind.

I see you and know you are. You hate this show. You hate its fandom. We don't need your kind around here/

What is it with some people where they just can't let little shit go? Some artist has a bad day, and acts in a way or says something they really don't mean, or overreacts to something, and they're marked for life. Like somehow we expect them to be perfect and never react in any kind of emotionally negative way towards anything ever. It's called being human. We ALL have bad days where we react poorly towards something.

Call me whiteknighting if you have to, but as I see it from a rational standpoint, it seems ridiculous to hold these trivial overreactions against the artist after the whole ordeal you're referring to has been over for a long time now, and there is nothing Madmax can do about it. That doesn't excuse what she did at the time, but you have to remember that after her overreaction, she apologized; she acknowledged that she acted in a way that was irrational. This whole thing shouldn't even be relevant anymore.
>> No. 19770
>>19767
She did a lot of work, she's quite congenial and a little bit ditzy. That, and her comics were something to look forward to after every episode, a tradition dating back to the earliest episodes of the show. The only person who had her popularity/effort would be MS, but even he didn't do as many comics as she did.

tl;dr: Madmax is someone special. Thats not ignoring the smaller artists, some of who I like a lot, but Madmax did a lot, and in the process, won the hearts of a lot of people in the fandom. Very few artists have attained that level in this fandom alone.
>> No. 19772
>>19769
I'm sorry then. Just to say though I never posted shit and then deleted it and never went back to bump dead threads or whatever.

>>19770
Both are paragraphs or so bro. It ain't too long to read either. Ditzy people, in my opinion, really just rub me the wrong way.
>Someone special.
If you see her that way, okay then. Fine. Fuck it. You know what? Sorry.
