A fave, eh? You have my thanks, even if you happen to unequivocally frighten me

Frighten? A unique reaction, to be sure, though not undesirable. What frightens you?
You are quite welcome for the fave. Your comic was witty and brought a sort of "Inigo Montoya" bent to the Rarity Vs. Crab legend.

Not a problem! Also, I'm sure Ann approves of your approval of her spooksiness, not that she'd ever tell me straight to my face.

Not a problem sir! A wonderful interpretation of Lovecraft's iconic beasty. I love your take in particular because it reminds me a bit of the Gustave Dore engravings in Dante's Divine Comedy. This sort of classical take on them really makes them seem ancient. Well played!

Hey Ann (Annelies?)!
And thank you again madam.
The reference to Doré is a huge compliment!

Quite welcome! Looking at it now the drawing also has a bit of an ancient Chinese feel to it, particularly how the Chinese dragons are often pictured holding spheres. The more I look at this the more I see inside. Oh, and feel free to call me The Other One or Other, I'm not particular. My username is a bit deceptive, I'll admit. Well, hindsight is 20/20 as they say.

Layers upon layers, upon layers...
Art is deep!
Deeper than one self sometimes realises.
Okay!
Other one, I wondered why you chose 'Ann Lies' as name.
For 'Annelies' is a regular Dutch name.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Art is indeed deep. I've had many paintings or drawings that I've created on a spark of inspiration, with hardly any plan in mind, and only afterwards am I able to find the message that they represent. We take inspiration from everywhere, and when it is combined in unique ways the benefits of each inspiration add up to create something greater than the sum of its parts. This doesn't always mean that we the creators are aware of this at the time, as you well know.
That's interesting! I had no idea Annelies was a Dutch name, I meant it literally, to say that Ann (a person) lies (tells untruths).
Also: That budgie is bloody adorable.
Ann lies.

Insane!? My fellow human being (latin name: Homo Sapiens) I assure you I am not insane. I believe the term "Hyper-sane" may be more appropriate. You see I was insane, and then I got better. And then I was insane again…a few times. I swear on my life as we type now that I am better! Oh of all things under Luna's Radiant Orb I am better. I feel…better. Don't you? Don't we all, at one point or another? Feel better, I mean?
Regardless, your comment strikes my interest. Because you seem like such a jolly fellow I'll let you in on something interesting. If you see a girl with a broken face, or perhaps a mare who can't make up her mind on what color she'll be, keep an eye on her. She may tell you things, so many things, but most of what she says cannot be trusted. Read the words again. Do. Not. Trust. Her. For you see its a bit of a character flaw of hers. Despite (or perhaps because of) her unique talents,
Ann lies.
I, however, do not! Well, not more than most do. Probably. Allow me to make introductions. I, the exceptionally long-winded one to whom you are typing, am TheOtherOne. And Ann is my muse. Or perhaps I am hers…curious…
REGARDLESS! Who might you, by which I mean rik4100 (not capitalized) be?

I? I am a man, that feels the ponies' friendship spirit inside his body, but only takes about 10% of the energy...
My mind feeds on what is 'scary', 'horror', 'morbid', 'grotesque' etc... and mostly when it's lifelike.
I let it take control of my body... something tells me it is scary, and gives me a little chill, but after that, I feel like being submerged into nightmares, embraced by it. I tell myself to embrace the nightmare, and thus, become the nightmare.
So that I can get the maximum thrill factor put into a drawing that is intended to be scary. bring horrors that dwell in my brain, to a clear visual element. That is me. I don't neccesarely want to call me 'Insane' either, but I refuse to call myself normal.

A wise man once said that "the oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown."
A student of this man once stated that there are three types of fear. "The Gross-out: the sight of a severed head tumbling down a flight of stairs, it's when the lights go out and something green and slimy splatters against your arm. The Horror: the unnatural, spiders the size of bears, the dead waking up and walking around, it's when the lights go out and something with claws grabs you by the arm. And the last and worse one: Terror, when you come home and notice everything you own had been taken away and replaced by an exact substitute. It's when the lights go out and you feel something behind you, you hear it, you feel its breath against your ear, but when you turn around, there's nothing there...”
I aspire to be a student of human emotion. With the capacity of endless complexity, emotion is a fascinating subject and a most astute teacher. You speak of nightmares and chills, thrills and horrors. These are the core of humanity, the pars of us that are too deep to cut out. Most throw a rug over it to hide it out, to muffle the beating of the tell-tale heart as it were. It is indeed pleasant to hear that there are still those who do not.
So, what do you find yourself terrified of, against all rationale or logic?
Personally I find mannequins abjectly terrifying. Slenderman is one of my worst fears and as such one of my favorite ideas.
What's yours?

I don't find myself easily terrified, so to speak... Rather, ehm... ...Feel the emotion of fear on a different way.
If there's a thing that I can confirm affecting me as something scary, it is usually high-pitched violin screeching sound tracks, combined with bent electronic sound parts, or otherwise very hollow, dark and deep ambient soundtracks... combined with pictures or animations that are able to haunt me... Something I recently saw and actually scared, or rather haunted me, is that recording of a weird alien-humanoid-like creature that walks over a building with stretching limbs, combined with a somewhat scary soundtracks. at the same time, I used to play Dead Space 3 shortly before I watched that video recording, while Dead Space 3 wasn't scary for me in general, But gave me a pretty accurate Deja vu of a nightmare I used to have, and when such things combine, it may scare me a little... I'm not affected by that video anymore.

How interesting, could you send a link to that video? I'd love to see it.
I agree that video and audio distortion is somehow innately frightening. Such an odd, unnatural sound.

Dunno, but you'll find it if you google on youtube "alien insect creeps over building in russia"

Interesting, I found a version of the video but there wasn't any sound. Still creepy in spite of that.

They might removed that one video with the scary music.

Yeah, probably did. Gave too many people nightmares.

Oh, CrookedTrees got my account temporarily suspended. Pffft. Senpai noticed me TOO much.
You can go yell at him here or something I dunno, I don't really care anymore. cassetterecorder.deviantart.co… It was an argument over something stupid in the first place anyway.

Well it's good to have you back. I trust all is well?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Things are slowly improving in small bursts, yes. Any time there's a good amount of activity on my DeviantArt means I'm at least back to TRYING to draw.
It can be very hard, especially after a long period of burn out like I was suffering from.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know the same feeling. I'm constantly juggling attempts to improve skills I don't have down pat (drawing humans in varied poses, landscapes, pretty much the basics of art :S), and time spent drawing things I actually WANT to draw (ponies, D&D characters, more ponies, monsters, ect.)
And my near future doesn't look to be getting any LESS busy. *le' sigh*

Thank you indeed for the llama. I've only ever done amateur chain link, but I find it fascinating. Your work is very impressive, and beautiful. I wish you the best of luck in your pursuits! Just keep in mind that success will often teach you that

Ah, excellent. I'm glad that is working. I was worried for a while that I was merely writing nonsense that no one would pay attention to. Believe it or not but most of that WHAT actually has a bit of meaning to it. At least a smidgen, rather. What do you think of it?

Hello there, Ann Lies.
Just swinging by to say thanks for the fave. Tis much appreciated.
Also, I really like your style and the level of imagination attached to your work. Makes me wish I could draw/paint!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you so much for commenting! I'll be honest, I wish I could write like you! Your style is very easy to read, and held a great amount of emotional feeling! How long have you been writing?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks for the kind words in turn! I've been writing for maybe around ten years now.
But I haven't taken it seriously until recently. Now I try to spend around thirty hours
a week working on my novel. Which isn't easy by any means, but if I want to be a better
author, I suppose I have to knuckle down.
Nice feedback like yours makes it worth it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No problem! I've been drawing my entire life, but only now am I starting to take it seriously as well. I've really been working on advancing my skills, learning actual techniques and trying to get better. I'm glad I can at least provide good feedback. I love to comment on things other people have done to help them out so it's good to know I'm appreciated! :- D
Do you release your writing on any other websites or just Deviantart?
