Description
So…. Apathia! Here she is. Sleeping. Which, I assume, is something she's rather good at.
"It might look uncomfortable, but the inside of the orb is completely silent and provides a sensation of soft support and greatly reduced body weight, making it a great place to curl up after a busy day of doing nothing whatsoever."
Apathia has yet to make an appearance in My Little Websurfers, but she will!
I really like how this came out. Makes me want a forcefield orb thing. Apathia's character lacks any sort of vibrancy in colour, grey was a little boring to work with so I opted for a muted green which complements the other two backgrounds nicely:
As before, available in 2880x1800 and 2560x2048 (dropbox links).

Indeed, the colours complement each other nicely 
If anything I would only suggest the colours for Karma being a little more orange.
That's just my personal preference.

Oh my gawd, all three of these remind me of Mass Effect 3! XD
We've got the Control ending, the Synthesis ending, and the Destroy ending! XD

Hah!!! Yeah good point! I did love Mass Effect (although those endings... sigh...)

Personally I think this could have looked quite nice in grayscale.

Is Apathia reddit-only, or is she a generic apathetic pony?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Judging by her snoo-antenna horn and her cutie mark, I'd say reddit-specific.

You should make a tutorial for stuff like this (especially light and shadow effects): it's too much AWESOME.

Thanks for the feedback!

You welcome. XP
Hmm... yah. Can be also annoying to write lessons.
But... there's still a thing I'd like to know: did you use a texture to make... ehh... that... "quadrant effect" you used for the barrier? Or did you draw every single notch by yourself?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Definitely not every individual notch! That would be a nightmare to draw manually (and get it precise, anyway)
The orb itself comprises about 18 individual layers. As for the quadrant effect, that was made by combining several different circular vector paths with stroke effects to "split them up" and some filters run on top, like radial zoom blur, to draw them out into nice elongated lines

It is mine as well

I want to kiss you just for you making this but I won't because that's really really creepy
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha! Thanks. It's kind of hard to do that over the Internet anyway. I suppose you could awkwardly make out with your monitor or something?

Is there an Internet jail, Because I'm pretty sure I just molested my computer.

...but who is she? '^^ sorry I have no knowledge of Reddit whatsoever...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
She is one of Reddit's content arbiters. Or she would be if she ever did a damned thing.

O-O OOOOOOOOOHH... That sounds really nice for someplace to sleep...

Well, how I missed her? Well... I guess she didn't even notice that and she doesn't care but still...
Awesome design and awesome wallpaper ^^

I knew of Discentia and Karma (or at least the red and blue pony OC) of Reddit, but who is Apathia?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Apathia is the lesser-known of the three, by far. If Karma symbolises the charitable, approving and positive emotions, and Discentia symbolises the negative and scornful, then Apathia represents the indifference that fills the void between the two.

When there are two avatars that are direct opposites, there usually isn't a middle one, is there?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know, right?? A middle one is long overdue... And Apathia lazily comes to the rescue.

I just thought of something....if you slept in it, your weight would get less...but if you came out of it, wouldn't you feel heavier?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Yep! Would probably feel very heavy leaving the orb. Imagine that, getting a great night's sleep only to feel like sagging to the floor as soon as you get up!
There would be minimal risk of muscle atrophy though, really, considering the sleep cycles of a typical equine can be less than four hours a night total, I think?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wow. Well, thanks for answering my question~! Oh and i can't wait for the next My Little Websurfers~! ^-^
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I mean would you end up falling over due to a significant weight increase when you leave it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
awesome XD apathia seems to be having a nice nap
did you ever decide on a name for the torch pony?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks for looking! Yeah she's out cold, haha.
I was leaning towards 'Candela', lots of people putting good arguments for it in the comments over there, and it was already on my shortlist
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
your welcome
so, is candela official? sry that i keep pushing 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's pretty much official at this stage, yeah.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
awesome
will she be in anything anytime soon?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
As much as I'd like to, she doesn't directly factor into the main MLW story at this stage. I can't wait until she does, though
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i look forward to it ^-^

Turns out Apathia is a alicorn and Karma/Discentia are like her knights or something.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
It's kinda hard to see Apathia and since shes suppose to be what we are looking at it kinda ruins the picture.
other then that pretty.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I'm so happy you didn't forget Apathia. (considering she hardly exists due to being, well you know, apathetic). So excited for what's now to come in the next chapter!

I want one!
I've always wanted a tank to sleep in. Like the experiment tanks in FF VII.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Man... That is...
I love it! The simplicity and the serenity is what really grabs me.
If I wouldn't have "World at night" as my BG, I'd definitely consider it.

You thought you could foil me by making three awesome wallpapers of one theme? You cannot succeed today! I present: multiple desktops! [link]
