I like pandas.

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!

First prompt was “Princess Trixie.” Drawing a slouching pony was much harder than I thought, especially when they have wings. It’s important to push yourself and try weird things every now and then so you don’t get stumped. Speaking of pushing one’s self…

@30minchallenge trolled extra hard for the April Fool’s Day Luna Challenge. If I remember correctly, the prompts were:

Starswirl the Bearded
Sweetie Belle
Makeup
Brooms
Sea ponies
Angel Bunny
and a random Google search Yo Gabba Gabba image.

Poor Sweetie deserved better than this.
