SOMETIMES YOU’RE REALLY HAPPY WITH THE WAY YOU’VE DRAWN A LEG AND SOMETIMES YOU REALISE HORSES DON’T ACTUALLY SIT THAT WAY
OH YEAH I WAS GOING TO POST PROPER ART STUFF
Work in progress of Stygius from the latest PH chapter. It was kinda hard nailing down his features since a lot of the description just amounted to: ‘really attractive’.
Man batponies are the best why did it take me this long to draw one.
I was going to work on a Fallout Equestria piece tonight but nooooooo I had to get distracted playing Day Z.
So here is a zombiepone instead.
One year ago today is was when I posted this on Deviantart - my first piece of MLP related art on the internet.
Well, not this exactly. The original version only had the closer legs showing, until a helpful commenter pointed out how much better it’d look showing the others too.
My art’s changed completely in that last year. I’m not referring to style or quality (though it totally has i mean holy shit i’ve improved there), I’m more referring to the way I approach art nowadays.
At some point in that year I stopped being someone who just does art for fun and started being someone who does art as a necessary form of expression. I didn’t even notice the shift until university and other projects began to suck away my time for personal art.
I mean, there’s rarely anything of my personal feelings in a finished piece; but the process of creating something that, regardless of how derivative, you have complete creative control overand the motivation to actually finish - is pretty fuckin’ great.
This I can thank the fandom for; being surrounded by so much talent and so many ideas (and fucking Fallout: Equestria) drove me to keep working on, improving and sharing my art. And that’s not even adressing how great it is to be noticed for your work. Hell, even when you know it’s just the content/JackleApp-reblogging-you that gets it noticed rather than the quality, it’s a pretty great ego boost.
So yeah, one year down of being a contributor in this fandom, and I’ve more than likely got another ahead of me. But if I don’t, if I get tired of this silly pony thing, I hope I’ll be able to find something else that drives me in the same way.
I wanna post something while my computer’s busy being all virus.
So here’s a shitty photo of an awkardly posed, nakedish-i-guess dragon dude.

I talked to Zac Gorman on Friday and asked him why he had so many comics about Earthbound and I hadn’t yet seen one about Mother 3. He mentioned this one and went on to say something along the lines of “the game was just so heartrendingly sad and perfect that it’s hard to do it proper justice” and I totally understood.
If I had not already kind of startled him once by greeting him with a sudden hug when I saw his name tag I would’ve hugged him again.
