I'm alive, and a new Irso image coming up!

General
It's no secret that I have a pony account, and a pony tumblr, and have been drawing ponies for quite some time now. I've been feeling like I'm neglecting my furry stuff though, but finding a balance between the two has been really hard.
Drawing ponies has helped me advance my art in ways I never even thought of, my sketching is better, my sense of anatomy (somehow) got better, my lines and my colouring all got better through the time I've been drawing ponies. It was really the change of pace I needed to improve, I was sitting in a rut for so long.
But coming back is harder than I thought it would be, It takes so much more work to draw muscle, it's at least twice the time for a sketch. My attention span hasn't been the greatest this past year, so it's been difficult to see things through to completion when they take so long. I actually have sketches half finished, which is something I never did before.
On top of that, I now have a little girl, so I can't be drawing NSFW stuff during the day (unless she's at school). So even my pony stuff revolves around the time she's not around to accidentally see it. And yes, it's NSFW most of the time too.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing... I want to balance everything, but I can't hold all the things.
Oh, I have started taking pony commissions on tumblr, and I still have the list for things I owe people, so expect art I owe, and eventually commissions for big muscly things.

I'll have to add a commission from me for the muscly thing that is called Unktehila.

OP
It's still a little ways off, but progress is definitely being made.
