  1. Hey guys!
    I'm doing my best to hop on as often as possible! I really appreciate all of your kind thoughts and support!

    I want to explain my hiatus and lack of activity a bit, and perhaps alleviate any concerns. I'm okay! I've just been under a lot of stress and have been very, very busy with work and my pets. I figured now was a good time to announce this because I finally have a legitimate answer; my ferret, Solace, had an ultrasound today. The doctors found a large tumor in his left adrenal gland, and some abnormalities in his pancreas that are indicative of adrenal disease and insulinoma. Our next move, most likely, will probably be an abdominal exploratory surgery and tumor removal. There are some risks associated with such an invasive procedure, though. Whether we pursue surgery or not, he'll be on medication for the rest of his life. We knew this would probably be the case and I have been preparing for months, but that doesn't make it all any less hard to hear. I work in an emergency clinic for animals, so I have a very, very clear idea of what all this entails- both a blessing and a curse, I think. I'm doing my very best to keep up activity as much as possible and start being a real member of the MLP Forums team again. I've just been having a real hard time, but you all have been so incredibly patient with me and I appreciate it so much <3

    Here's a picture of my babies;

      I'm doing alright! I should be able to get on more actively and hopefully onto discord as well. Some crazy stuff happened and I think I'm finally at a stable point!

      Yeah, I'm so sorry about that! That was a massive hiatus! 
      A whole lot happened and for a while I couldn't focus on much else but my job and schooling. I'm working at an emergency vet clinic which has always been my dream and I wanna be a veterinary doctor! That said though, it looks like things should be okay and consistent now so hopefully I'll be back for good this time!

  6. You have a great OC. The Senate aproves : D

      You attack by drawing the other teams' character c: You get points for what level of detail is in the drawing, which is totally based on settings you pick when you upload so it's real nice and easy.

      The band sings in German, but they're Austrian so it's probably a different dialect. The title has no meaning in traditional German. Tbh I'm p sure it's just melody control, kinda like a 'lalala'.

  9. I'm working on a fun little character design for my friend's MLP AU, but I'm having a hard time with the species. There are lots of earth ponies so I'd like to stray away from that. She's a winter embodiment...any ideas?

      Well, two of them auto-bought and one of my clients tipped me a HUGE extra sum. My AB was 30 USD, but they paid me 50! I had to make sure it wasn't a mistake, but it wasn't lol

      Brida, but it's only a slight change in pronunciation.
