A Tumblr with SFM Resources and Art
And so begins the last day before it all ends.
The End of Tumblr
So as I’m sure everyone knows by now, Tumblr will ban all NSFW content on December 17th.
Been debating on where to go from here, I still don’t believe Twitter is going to be the final hub for artists but as a short term stopgap, it works. I’ve joined the Twitter craze until we find a better alternative.

I’ll be posting updates for my SFM resources, art, and where I’ll end up on Twitter. If you’d like to contact me, Tumblr till the 17th or Derpibooru would be your best bets.
A smol reblog of info.

Can you make an anthro skin for Autumn Blaze?
If/when she gets a public SFM model I’ll be able to make a texture set for her. Should that come out anytime soon, she’ll be included in the next update I’m working on for the texture pack 👍
Where to Find Me
Seems Tumblr’s having a panic attack about nsfw blogs and mass removing them. Should this blog get axed I’ll try to return but until then you can find me at:
Derpibooru and DA would be the places to watch for new/updates for SFM resources. Derpibooru and E621 to watch for new art. If you’re trying to get in contact with me, Tumblr or Derpi would be your best bets.

Laptop is dead. Modeling and Patreon on jeopardy
It has been that today, unfortunately my laptop has died. The laptop that i've been working for past 5 years has died. The device doesn't work anymore, I suspect is the harddrive that went poof. Th...

Apparently, one of my lad’s leptop decided to die after 5 years of work. He’s a modeler, creating free high quality content for SFM/Blender artists. You can check out his stuff above as well as his own post about this matter. I’m writting it so I can support him by letting more people know. He’s already saving money for a new PC but you can also donate to him. I’m sure he would be really thankful for any amount of money donated.
Link to page where you can donate to him is within his post but I will leave it here as well so people may access it more easily.
Let’s help out a fellow SFM modeler 👍
This whole SFM thing
TL;DR Do what you do because its fun. Everything is a challenge in its own way. Don’t quit what you enjoy because of some people on the internet. Also,
BE RESPECTFUL, It’s not that hard!
———————-
People in my Discord server were talking about this whole situation with SFM artists being put on blast because of the samey feel with the models and what not. However as I said in there, many unique things can be done with SFM. Even if you are not particularly a huge fan of it, that is no reason to shit on the work they do. If you are tired of seeing the samey models, offer something to create a change to it.
3D Work is challenging work no matter what part of it you are looking into. Modeling, detailing the model, texturing the model, rigging, lighting, animating, rendering, etc all are things that take a lot of time to learn and some may be better at a specific thing.
People have their preferences. People have their tastes. Do not shove your tastes and preferences down other people’s throats solely because you don’t like something. To the SFM artists, do not quit. Instead evolve and enchance your ability to something stronger especially if you have followers who enjoy your stuff. Do not let a some people deter you from something you enjoy.
All forms of art is difficult. All forms of art has a challenge. No matter what area you take; music, drawing, 3D, writing whatever; challenges exist.
One last note: I don’t think the artists you are claiming are superior need the attention you just threw at them because all it is is negative. You just made that artist a target for why SFM artists are leaving solely because you don’t like something. You could have easily promoted said artist and a much less attacking light but failed to do so.
Just be respectful. I do not understand how that has become such a foreign concept to people.
Thank you Suirano for being the voice of reason here. Happy to reblog this 👍
Updates
Some of you may be wondering why no new posts or art (besides reblogs) recently. I’m still around but have been working hard on an overhauled version of the anthro texture pack which will be more streamlined and have a lot more ponies. The regular pony source templates will also be getting an update too. Keep an eye out for a release “soon”.
Red’s Pony Source Templates
Here are a bunch of Photoshop Templates I've setup to help in the creation of new ponies. They should be easy to use and include tutorials for how to use the different templates.
Download: Mega or PonySFM
See Preview of colorable textures: Pony Mouth/Lips - Pony Horn
The Eye Refract Template currently supports: Ponies Bat Ponies Derpy Hooves style eyes Dragon/Ember's eyes Chrysalis' eyes
The Eye Refract template can be used to create regular eyes as well.
The Photoshop Actions allow for quick/bulk tintfixing of textures and the setup needed for the Eye Refract iris scaling.

Based on work by: GLEBOSS, Shutdp, sidsayonara, Poninnahka, Juicedane, FillerArtist, DazzioN, Sindroom, STANN-co, Chiramii-chan, Shir0qq, BeardedDoomGuy, AeridicCore, and others.
These templates are included with the anthro source templates, this separate download is more for artists who make regular pony content.
Trying out Tumblr
Let’s see how this goes.
