Free Pony Commissions
Posted 11 years agoFor the Month of November, I will be gladly taking requests for free pony art.
Most of it will be traditional artwork (ie. pencil/inking)
This is all an attempt to get me to draw more and get a style down.
If I do digital, it would be at random requests and if I feel like it.
What I will draw:
Couples, Singles, Portraits of OC's, or mane cast.
What I will not draw:
Clop stuff.
Any questions or if you'd like a request, just send me a note or message.

Vixxy: '...find someone to love, promise me that.'
Posted 11 years agoWorking more on this fiction story I'm writing, I'm thinking about Ultra and Vixxy's back story, there is sentence that came to me during church service were Vixxy say's to Ultra.
"Promise me you'll love. Ultra, you need love, you hurt so much without it. If I we gone and you are alone, find someone to love, promise me that."
That sentence slapped me so hard, because in an essence it was like telling myself what is wrong with me and why I really can’t keep a long-term relationship.
My heart still remains with someone, but I thought about who. Who do I still have feelings for or who took my love that I can’t seem to get back.
To be fair, I really never had that many relationships and I can always think back to the people who I have been with.
Every one of those people I did love, but there was always something missing in each one of them, and I know what it was, it was me. I was always missing now that I think back, I always seemed to break away because I was always afraid to really and truly be in love. Ironically what started the whole thing was the actual true person who created Vixxy in the first place.
That devastation really lead me to hold back on really caring for someone, mind you this happened way back in my teen years and I had really fallen for this person since it was technically my fist time actually loving someone. Its been said that things that happen in your youth sometimes affects you as an adult. I can say that is true.
It is also true that Val was my first love, but all the while it was more a friendship love during that time. For Vix, it was something to hope for and to shoot for during that youthful time, sadly though the events that transpired lead to a deep depression and also is the reason why I can’t seem to “truly” let go and love someone whole.
At this point in my life, I can only ask for forgiveness for the people who I let down and disappointed; but I know thats not possible and its something that I have to live with for the rest of my life. I can only try and follow my own advice or Vixxy’s advise to myself.

Happy about my artwork since, never.
Posted 11 years agoFinally after so long, I've actually quite happy with my artwork. I discovered some stuff on Illustrator that just makes things so much easier, granted those features have been there for several years but I never had any real reason to pick up the tablet until now, Yay Ponies.
On a side note, I might actually start taking requests for pony related stuff. Even though I'm happy were I'm at, I actually wanna learn more.
Lastly, I'll be taking a two trips this October, One to Nightmare Nights in Dallas, TX, yay ponies; and the next following weekend I'll be at Oni-Con hosting the AMV Contest for Anime Fun TV.

Trying to find myself as an Artist...
Posted 11 years agoThese past few days I’ve been picking up the pencil and started drawing and coloring once again after several years of a drawing hiatus.
Lately however I’ve been trying to find myself when it comes to my artwork, that I need to find my “style” or “rhythm”. I think the main reason why is because when i used to do my older artwork I used to have this mentality that I wanted to draw “like this person”, or I wanted to draw “this style”. Now that I’m drawing again I need to throw all those thoughts out of the window and just do what i do. Sure its great to get inspiration from other artists who do more detailed work or coloring, but I’m not them and I shouldn't push myself to be like them. I wanna have fun when I draw and to have fun is to be happy with my own style of artwork. I’m actually thinking of taking art requests so I can do quick drawings and learn how to do things on my own without having to look at model references. I think also the biggest influence is also feedback on the artwork, an artists is his own worst critic, but with positive feedback that feeling can go away as long as the person is happy with the art requested.

Sonic fanbase and MLP:FiM fanbase
Posted 11 years agoAlright, I've been thinking... when life gives you lemons.... w-wait sorry wrong intro.
Seriously though, I have been thinking about this, I've been on a MLP high since Brony Fan Fair. It had me thinking about when was the last time I had this kind of high about a specific fandom, then it hit me, I haven't been this way since the days of the Sonic Archie comic and SatAM around 1996-1999.
Back then it was a little different, the internet was primitive but the outpouring of Sonic fans was pretty big, there where many Sonic fan websites, fan fictions, artists, o/c’s, even some animations. Then I look to the MLP:FiM fandom and its almost an exact copy of what the Sonic fandom was back in the day.
To be quite honest, its a feeling I’ve really missed. I don't consider the Sonic fandom dead but it has lost its luster mainly due to so many changes they have done with him and nothing is never canon with Sonic anymore. Of course back then the only two animations we had were "Adventures of" and then SatAM and soon after we had the comic series which was based of SatAM which made that storyline so much more interesting. It wasn't till SatAM was't renewed for a 3rd season that the comic really took the lead and had to be the main story, but things started changing around 2000 when the comic needed to plug-in game stories and crossovers. From that time I started to loose interest because It didn't follow what I thought was the original story.
Unfortunately it was the corporation that started to filter into the comics, it was no longer about the stories, but about making tie-ins with games and promotions. Luckily the Sonic fan base was still there to take up the slack, but as the years went by, it too started to dwindle to the point that its stale now. Yes there is a new Sonic game and animation coming, but just as Sonic X, the animation is just a means to promote the game which honestly have too been suffering in my honest opinion.
When I look at the MLP fandom, it makes me smile, it reminds me of how it felt back then to see so much creative work for an animated story line, even though I haven't really read the comic version of MLP, some of the stories from the comic can really be expanded with the right creative mind.
In a way it also makes me very sad, that the same amount of creative effort that MLP brings to the table, there is no real equal from the Sonic fanbase. I often question “Man, what if someone did a song like this MLP mix?” or “Look at this MLP animation, why hasn't anyone done a fan animation of SatAM like this?”
Of course were talking about huge generation gap, SatAM came out in 1993 and MLP came out in 2010, but looking at the demographics it seems to me that about at least 40% are in their mid to late 20’s. It makes me wonder, did the Sonic fanbase moved to MLP? I mean, in some way’s it has some very familiar things, and maybe its something the Sonic fandom wanted to to with Sonic but couldn’t because of the corporation so they do it with MLP since Hasbro is sort of “meh” about some of the things the fans create?
I’ll prolly never know the answer, but honestly, I’m happy about this fandom and I haven't been this happy about something in a long, long while. In away, I wish the Sonic fanbase would get off its ass and do some of the creative work that MLP fans are doing.
Sadly, that may never happen, but I’m cool with it.
Dose this mean I’m now considered a brony? Sure, why not?

Tonight...
Posted 12 years agoSudden death, winner takes all, Championship or Bust... What ever you call it, tonight will be one of the most epic games in the NBA Finals. Press and media are writing off the Spurs and for the Heat to take the championship. That makes the Spurs the underdogs now, but I believe they have the upper hand knowing full well how the Heat can play under pressure and how to overcome it. What ever happens tonight, I am proud of them.
GO SPURS GO!!!
GO SPURS GO!!!
