Second of three Princess sticks finally done. This time it’s the benevolent ruler of all of Equestria, she who raises the run every day, and (occasionally) brandishes a banana bag and sends ponies TO THE MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONAAAAAAAAAAAA. (beeyeetch)

Princess Celestia.

Project file is here, as always. Thanks to the ever-amazing egophiliac for her Celestia drawing, blackgryph0n for the Cutie Mark, and kurokaji11 for yet another adorable FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN service picture.

I’m expanding my artistic talents, if ever so slightly. I even used a gradient overlay! Fancy!

Oh, and if you haven’t already, egophiliac’s running a Homestuck-styled askblog, called Moonstuck. It’s adorable. SO. GODDAMN. ADORABLE. Go follow it right now. RIGHT NOW.

ACTA in a Nutshell –

What is ACTA?  ACTA is the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement. A new intellectual property enforcement treaty being negotiated by the United States, the European Community, Switzerland, and Japan, with Australia, the Republic of Korea, New Zealand, Mexico, Jordan, Morocco, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, and Canada recently announcing that they will join in as well.

Why should you care about ACTA? Initial reports indicate that the treaty will have a very broad scope and will involve new tools targeting “Internet distribution and information technology.”

What is the goal of ACTA? Reportedly the goal is to create new legal standards of intellectual property enforcement, as well as increased international cooperation, an example of which would be an increase in information sharing between signatory countries’ law enforcement agencies.

Internet Blackout of the Day: The Great Wikipedia Blackout of 2012 has begun.

Reddit, TwitPic, Mozilla, Mojang, and thousands of others will soon follow suit. The Internet is officially on strike! Why? Because the House and Senate are conspiring with the entertainment industry to break the Internet.

Make no mistake: SOPA has not been shelved. And a vote on PIPA is just around the corner. Luckily, hundreds of companies, charities, and notable individuals with strong moral character have joined forces to stop these dangerous Big Brother bills from moving forward.

The fight is far from over, but hopefully today’s blackout will help bring this important matter to the attention of folks who rely on the Internet for entertainment and education, but have so far remained oblivious to SOPA and PIPA and their harmful consequences.

Do your part. Take action. Stop SOPA and PIPA and put an end to threat of Internet censorship. If you absolutely must scab, here are a few useful links: 

• Five ways to survive the Wikipedia Blackout.

• Wikipedia Blackout: Survive with these 12 alternatives.

Okay, this was pretty awesome. Printest Woona, and by extension the GREAT EGOPHILIAC (whom I missed at BroNYcon January) used my suggestion for WOONASTUCK. PRINTEST WOONA IS BESTEST PRINTEST.

Excellent idea! After all, it’s good manners to remove your hat in the presence of royalty.
(You decide to ignore the recursive implications of yourself being royalty.)

You politely doff your Cartographer’s Cap and re-fold it into the Cartographer’s Cloak instead. You gain +2 points for sheer style.
