I like pandas.

That’s right, while everyone else is doing Inktober or Spooptober or what have you, I’m drawing Applejack. October is National Apple Month (in the US, anyway), so I’ve decided to dedicate it to the Best Pony.

Before I go any further, let me preface this by saying I can almost guarantee I won’t be drawing an Applejack every single day. I’ll try, but I know how quickly I can burn out, and the last thing I want is to get tired of drawing my favorite horse.

That being said, Happy Jacktober, y’all!

In other news, I’ve hit another milestone!

Thank y’all so much! This legitimately brought a tear to my eye. I honestly thought I’d peaked back around 700 a long time ago. At one point I was actually losing followers, most likely due to lack of updates, among other things. It’s awesome to know there are still people out there that are just now discovering me and liking what they’re seeing.

I was feeling a bit more confident, so I decided to open up a ko-fi! If anyone enjoys what I do and wants to help out now and then, well, now you can. Anything helps!

Now, what to do if I ever hit 1000…

Wow, it actually happened! This is a pretty major milestone, or at least it is to me. 500 people that actually like my silly doodles. And so many of them are fellow artists that I look up to for inspiration! I think that deserves something special.

Hey look, it’s my first ever animation! (Lovely didn’t count.) This took an eternity, CSP is gonna take some getting used to.

Seriously, thank you, all of you. Especially those of you that shared my art with others, through reblogs or otherwise. (I seem to have at least one dedicated follower that posts my stuff to derpibooru, because lord knows I forget.) It’s always a bit of a shock when someone brings to my attention something of mine that ended up on /r/mylittlepony or /mlp/. A nice shock, though. A pleasant surprise, even. Believe me, I do not mind.

You also may have noticed the blog name change. I figured hitting 500 was a good time to come up with something that didn’t corner me. Originally, this was just a place to post my pony stuff until I didn’t suck at it. Didn’t want to stink up my deviantArt with shoddy horse. But tumblr’s format is good for many forms of media, so I reckon I’ll be doing most of my posting here from now on.

Also, just because I dropped the “draws-ponies” part doesn’t mean there will be any less equine. No siree, you would be mighty incorrect. I do have interests outside of adorable pastel ponies (I’m a fighting game enthusiast, in case you didn’t know), and you might see some other stuff here now and then. But what keeps me drawing the horse art is you, my amazing followers, and this fandom in general. I just want to share all sorts of other things that I’ve had in the works. I sing and voice act, y’see, so y’all might be getting a bit of that too.

Also also, I might be reopening commissions again to make ends meet for this month. Thanks for waiting! I’ll make a post when the backlog is cleared and I’m ready to take on more.

Thanks again. Y’all are the best. <3
