I tried to make @pabbley a birthday cake, but there was an accident. Watch where you put that thing, Bandy.
Happy birthday, ya nasty.
Hey y'all! It's art and stuff.

Happy birthday, ya nasty.
Some warmup sketches. When in need of inspiration, draw Applejack. Not sure what the hell the second one is.
Newest internet pony sensation That Guy made an OC, so I stole it. :3
Good shit, @tg1117.
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!
30 minute challenge dump: monthly edition.
Cartoon Physics: That dang road pegasus is a crafty one. (I originally intended her to be Dash, but the good folks at derpibooru thinks she looks more like Derpy, so I’ll roll with that.) Derp derp!
Limestone Pie: You just couldn’t stay away from Holder’s Boulder, could you?
Changelings transforming into other ponies: Queen Chrysalis will have her revenge.
Poison Joke: Doesn’t seem to bother AJ as much as Twilight this time around.
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
Gia’s a bit defensive.
This new job is kicking my ass. I went from drawing multiple times a day to barely once a week. That’s unacceptable by my own standards. I’m not sure what to do though, besides tough it out. But if this is how it feels after barely three weeks, prospects for improvement are not looking bright. It literally hurt to do this sketch, my fingers are so sore.
For the last few of you still waiting for your commissions, I apologize. I only get one day off a week now, and I spend most of that recuperating and running all my errands. I hate making y’all wait, so thanks again for your patience.
See? This is why I could never do a Patreon.
