Have another stream sketchdump. Thanks again for all the great ideas and new followers!

May 23 2018

So, Everfree Northwest was this past weekend. And I had an absolute blast! Most fun I’ve had in years. I got to hang with the Berrytube crew, and finally got to meet so many artists I’ve considered friends and inspirations for years now.

Being around so many kind, talented people, I couldn’t help but feel inspired to bust out the sketchbook, for probably the first time in about two years. What better way to start fresh than with my three favorite pony gals? I was also pleasantly surprised with how Sunset turned out. I think I may be getting the hang of this human face thing.

Shoutouts to all the awesome artists I got to meet and/or hang out with for the first time, @taurson (you rock, dude!) @ncmares, @lilfunkman (you have to come back next year, you took the bribe), @bobdude0, @whitediamondsltd, @dawnf1re, @amarynceus, @miokomataz (NSFW), @couchcrusader, @moozua, @silfoearts, and various others I’m probably forgetting, but it doesn’t mean meeting you was any less significant. And special shoutouts to @goattrain and @sugaryviolet for dinner and conversation. Y’all are awesome, you’re gonna make me create a goat OC if you keep it up. <3

I’m already absolutely stoked to go back. If things go well enough through the year, I just might vend a little. Maybe some buttons and stickers. Anything y’all would like to see and might want to buy? Just let me know so I can get to work on them.

Thanks for the memories, @everfreenw. See you next year!

I wanted to try something different, so I challenged myself to do what I could in 90 seconds, with a different brush for each. Ponk was crayon, AJ pencil, Derp watercolor. They’re not terrible, surprisingly!

Life stuff after the break.

Various doodles from last night’s “secret” stream. (I just forgot to announce it here.) Thanks for those that stopped by!

Sketchy stuff from last night’s stream. It was pretty fun, aside from trying to get my mic to work (I gave up after about 20 minutes). Probably the most people I’ve ever had watching outside of a multi, thanks for the cute requests. And thank you again, all y’all that came by!

Wow!

Thank you! I wasn’t expecting to get another 100 followers so quickly. I actually screencapped this a week or so ago. A few more of y’all have joined since then, and there are exactly 700 posts, not including this one. Not a bad post-to-follower ratio for someone without sideblogs (well, besides the one that I never update) or any sort of continuity in their work. Just lotsa ponies, so far.

I do have a couple of questions for y’all.

1) Is there anything in particular you’d like to see me try more of?

2) Should I do commissions again? And/or possibly a ko-fi?

Leave me an ask so I can keep track of your responses.

In unrelated news, I was digging through my art folder and found a couple things from last year that I honestly can’t remember if I posted here.

It’s weird, but I always feel a bit of pride when I look at my Mayor Mare stuff. She always turns out so well.

“Paint me like one of y’all’s fancy mares.”

As always, if anyone wants to color, shade, or vector any of my stuff, please do! I love seeing what others can do with them. Just @ me, submit, or reblog so I can see it!

Februpony Day 1: Favorite Mane 6 Pony

Who else but AJ?

I can always use an excuse to draw more often, and @funpicturesofponies‘ Februpony thingy is off to a pretty awesome start, so I figured why not join in on the fun? Little bit of a late start, but who’s counting, right?
