My daughter is already named Cadence, but if we have another, we'll be going with Lucca for a girl or Clyde for a boy. (Since I named the first, my husband picked the girl name for the second and we decided together on the boy one) It's weird though. I picked Cadence because I wanted her to have a unique name and not a boring one like mine was where every other girl had the same name. Now suddenly I see the name kids named Cadence (and now Cadance due to MLP though my daughter was named before the show ever existed) and boys named Caden everywhere I go with her. It's a curse. x_x

This sounds interesting. Lessee what I can come up with. I didn't like "My Little Dashie" at all. Nearly everywhere I go people say they cried buckets, that it touched their lives and was a literary masterpiece. But for me personally? It was bland for the first half, unrealistic all around and the drama/emotional bits toward the end were close to chewing the scenery ala Made for TV movies. Alternatively, I think "A Sweet Taste of Cake" is one of the best MLP FiM fanfics out there out of what I've read when it comes to building up emotions and making the reader feel something. Alicorn OC's don't bother me and I refuse to automatically lable them as a Mary Sue. Nor do OC's covered in jewelery, clothing and bizarre/cliche colors. As long as someone isn't shoving it in my face saying it's the best OC ever and they want to pick a fight to prove it, I'm just glad that their OC makes them happy. And I think the people who are overly vocal against the OC designs they dislike and make it a point to pester people with their unasked for opinion are busybodies who likely have a terrible OC themselves but are too busy calling the kettle black to notice. (Seriously. I've seen so many people call others out for having a bad OC saying that doesn't fit in with the FiM universe and is too much of a "special snowflake" while proudly strutting around a broken horned unicorn, lacy patterns all over it's butt, who is the most amiable serial killer you'll ever meet and works as a pole dancer at a Ponyville strip club where they take off all kinds of stockings.) Bad fic writers, shippings and clop images don't bug me either. If I don't like what I see somewhere, there's a back button up top. And I moniter my daughter's time online so I can quickly get her out of anywhere the images are suspect. I liked that Cadance was made an Alicorn. (For a completely biased reason, though. My daughter is named Cadence so it made me happy that suddenly a character that shared her name on a show she loved was special. It was like the world gave my angel a present.) I thought Stretch Panic, Legend of Mana and Saga Frontier were really great games. I haven't really overly enjoyed any of the Superhero movies they've done in the past many years begining with the three X-Men movies, though I did at least appreciate Heath's interpretation of the Joker. I refuse to raise my daughter in any faith until she is old enough to make her own spiritual choices. And if she grows up and realizes she is gay, wants to marry her girlfriend, and wants to pursue a faith that I don't believe in, I will support her completely. (this is an unpopular opinion as most of my family and most of the state around us is very Mormon and anti-homosexual) Aaand that's all I've got for now.

Morning Star: My face when I had another request with an OC covered in those swirly lines. Did it anyway, but gosh those things are rough on me. At least the dark purple body wasn't has hard to work with as I thought it would be. Flash Bang: Another rare stallion. He's okay, but I wish I'd redone the lines on his wings. I can barely see them. Super Nova and Archivist Ink: This was hard for many many many reasons. I've repressed most of the harships making it due to hand destroying pain so I won't elaborate further. Mania Muse: I like the tragedy of this one and was really glad when I was approached to draw it. Mania's story was that she draws people obsessively in the hopes that they'll love her. But instead she is even more alone due to people being freaked out by her. Deep Fry: And this is the last one I've done so far. I couldn't find paper or pencils due to a five year old sentient hurricane, so I just freehanded it on Gimp and hoped for the best. Fry is a changeling in disguise who happens to like the pony life and wants to stay that way. You're right now that I look at that first one. I think with the first one I didn't go over it again and just left the pen lines. That's a good idea though. I've already put up all I have for now with that last post, but do you think I should go through and try to spread them out? Major issue I'm having is the way posting seems to work here. O_o;; I thought they would be automatically seperate little posts when I made a new thing and didn't edit an old one but then it started connecting them anyway. So I wasn't sure when it would actually make a new post or just slap it on the tail of what I already did. Watch it do it with this, too, knowing my luck. I quote the post and it's going to paste it right up with those images for some reason.

And then one more for the Zebra/Gryphon duo since they wanted some little hybrid babbies. Soft Paw: This one came out so sketchy since I just didn't have time on hand to smooth the lines for a quickie doodle, but now that it's done, I kinda like the sketchy look. Flooftart: This was the first one I ever did colored lines on since it was a fluffly Llama character. I liked it so much that I started expermineting with it later which will become pretty obvious. Kinky Rice: Good gravy the maroon color was so hard to work with on this one. I like how the expression came out at least considering she was supposed to be flirty. Bugs me that her tail got cut off, though. I really need to fix that sometime. You think so? I'm really glad someone else actually likes the older look. It's all I can really draw when it comes to ponies but it seems like nobody ever seems to like the older look these days. So I just figured I'd just have to settle for being a fossil among all the FiM styled stuff. Why in the world does it attatch a quote to a past post? O_o;; Moonshine: This one was interesting to do since I'd never really done this kind of body markings. Timid Dreamer: I made this one waaaay to tall and the face was too chubby and the tummy too thin and just...blah. I like the scarf though. XP Silver lining. Copper Heart: Now here is the first return to using colored lines rather than black. I did it again because this is a shaggy pony, but...I sure did like how it turned out, too. So a lot after her are in colored lines. Lily: The person who made her hadn't given her a name so I just call her Lily. She was the first time doing a normal, non-fluffy/furry pony in colored lines. i think it came out okay. I was happy with her face and the way the mark came out. Gloomy: Lack of interesting poses struck again and I thought I'd do something a smidge different with this sleepy pony. That part came out okay-ish, but I really really wish I had made the muzzle better. Not so stubby.

Let's see if this works. Clover Frost: I really like how this one turned out apart from her mark. I made it too darn big. Just too much mark and not enough bum. >_< Jackie Trade: Here's another I think came out alright. The gal wanted her OC to be pudgy so it was learning a whole new body type. Jack: This is the first seapony I ever did. I wish it had come out better, but it was good for practice concerning the tail. Summer Song: This one was hard. The dark red and dark brown and darker color in the hair just threw me for one heck of a loop. Allure: I loved doing this one's hair. To the point I wanted the pose to be all about her hair since I liked it so much. I think the face suffered a bit for it though. Still love that hair. Radiant Star: I can never understand why my normal ponies come out tall and tall-designed ponies give me such a hard time. But by golly this one did. I like the sheen of her hair though, at least. Oromo and Devlin: This was another major first. A zebra and a gryphon at the same time. x_x Still not sure how I managed. Summer Song and Big Mac: I guess i told a lie since this does include a canon character. The gal a bit higher up wanted one with her and Big Mac giving each other 'the look'. Why is his harness such a pain in the butt but the way? I was doing okay until I got to that thing and it still looks so wonky the way I did it.

I figured I'd put these here. I'm not really doing art at the moment since I need to finish a few things up elsewhere, but when that's all settled, I'll start drawing stuff again for folks that don't mind my style and actually might want one despite my artistic shortcomings. Although if you ask with Fluttershy or Applejack eyes, I probably will draw you sometimes anyway. Just can't resist their faces. Pale Spiral: This is the first pony I ever drew for someone. I was thinking it might have been fun to do images with ponies framed by their mark, but seeing how varied they can be, that just never panned out. I also started, out of habit, by making everything lined in black which I attempted to change much further down the line. Pepper Paws: This was the second I ever did and I think it was a bit better. Although I still cringe when I look at the golden retriever pup. He looks like he's going to topple over any second now. XP Froufrou: This one was third and I actually really liked how she turned out apart from the tail. Mostly because I thought I was going to have a far more difficult time with that hairstyle that I did. I was expecting to spend hours tinkering until it looked right. Heart's Desire: Here's the next one and these kinds of poses always drive me nuts. I'm always unsure where the belly should be, or if it should even be visible, or how much of it. Blahh...I wish I was better at doing horns, too. I just freehand everything in pencil then go over it again with gimp but everything is always wobbly and uneven due to the mouse. Then I sit there and fret over where the horn is on the forehead. Shining Armor: Here's the first and so far only canon character I've ever drawn. A cosplayer wanted one so I figured, why the heck not? First ever stallion, too. So it was a bit of a double doozy. I like it alright, but I lament not starting on the spear lower down by his arm. I felt like I had to break the line of the pole just so it looked like it wasn't coming out of his mouth. >_< Panacea: This was my first ever attempt at my own character, Panacea. But unfortunately she is a pillbutt and hates letting me draw her. So to me it looks very wonky and not really in character for her. (considering she actually looks potentially pleasant in this image and that's just not Pan) Toxic: This one was a doozy. Them swirlydoos took forver to look accurate-ish. And the wings and the shoes and good gravy, just all of it was hard. I do like how the wings turned out at least, though. I was expecting much worse. Snake Oil: This one was easy enough apart from the fact that at this point it was quickly dawning on me that when you're not drawing G$ style, unique poses are a little bit hard to come up with. (part of why I started just settling for just plan standing in later ones) This was just a doodle I made of Panacea's family. Nothing special apart from trying to put some detail into the little ice sculpture her father was making. Homesar: This was just me being a goofball that loves Homar.

My Favourite Mane 6 Pony: Applejack How did you find MLP Forums?: Yahoo search How you became a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: Seeing the humor images online and then watching it with my daughter. Though I was also a fan of the original cartoon that I grew up with. I came over here from the GaiaOnline MLP forums looking for a more welcoming and kind community that isn't filled with elitism and people don't just sit around gossiping, name dropping, and sucking up to the well known users in desperate bids to become popular. So I'm dearly hoping this is the place I can find something like that and just enjoy MLP with others who enjoy it, too. I look forward to getting to know the place and I'll do my best to learn fast so I don't pester with questions. Not much interesting about me. I'm a married mom with a five year old daughter, I love anime, video games, MLP, Discworld, etc. I like to draw ponies, but it always looks much more G2 toy than G4 artstyle. My OC is named Panacea as seen below. (Not my art. It's a piece I had commissioned of her) Aaaand, that's about all I can think to say.
