I like pandas.

I got home a bit late, but I couldn’t go to bed before I wished @finalskies the happiest of birthdays.

Way back in the olden days (I joined the fandom towards the end of season 2), I took refuge in /r/mylittlepony. I hadn’t drawn anything in years, but heir-of-rick’s art was some of the first inspiration I had to get back into it (the rest being Berrytube). I wanted to draw cute, funny ponies just like he did. He’s given so much helpful advice, inspiration, and encouragement to budding artists over the years, I’m sure he’s indirectly responsible for more fandom art than any single other person. I consider him my first pony art senpai, though I don’t think I’ve ever spoken to him directly. Still, I respect the hell out of him, ludicrously big ears and all.

Thanks for being so awesome!

How I’ve been feeling the past month or so.

On the bright side, I landed a new job! There’s a lot of good attached to this: higher pay, less hours, actual benefits, reasonable shifts, and best of all, I won’t be in constant pain (hopefully). Art’s no fun when you can’t use your hands properly, in case anyone’s been wondering why I tend to only do one drawing a week, if that.

Unfortunately, I don’t start until next month, unless something goes terribly wrong right with a few of the other potential new hires. Until then, thanks for all of y’all’s support. <3

Here’s the de-Lovely’d version of that AJ I did a while back.

Happy birthday, Nate!

Little (lel) something for one of my absolute favorite artists, @ncmares. Seriously, I can’t get enough of his art, I’ve probably faved and reblogged more of his stuff than anyone else’s. (I even unconditionally like his Dash stuff, whaaaat.) Big or small, socked or not, he’s got the Best Pone game locked down tight. Peace, NC. Hope you had an awesome one.
