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!

Doodle a day #21, Mayor Mare.

Looks like she’s out stumping for re-election. Which begs the question, with a name like Mayor Mare, what else could she do? Uh oh, is this the part where we’re not supposed to think too much about pony names?

Or maybe Mayor really is her title, and she has another first name no one ever bothers to say because–well, she’s the mayor. It’d be disrespectful.

Crusaders of the Lost Mark touched on politics a bit (you know, that whole part before the fandom exploded and wept joyfully for a week). Maybe they could get back to that in the future, in an episode where the mayor just isn’t the mayor anymore. Now what will you do? What would any pony do? As the Flim Flam brothers put it, “Guess you’ll have to find a new line of work that doesn’t match your names quite so…perfectly.”
