Ask Oopsie Doodle

On hiatus until further notice due to personal and financial issues. If you would like to support me and my art, you can check out my Patreon - all pledges welcome! Hi there, I'm Oopsie Doodle, and I'm an artistic Earth Pony. I work at a small Newspaper company alongside my friend Gingersnap (Editor and chief) If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask - though Ginger has bogged me down with a fair amount of work so I may not be able to get to all of them - thanks for your patience! Mod blog Mod's Art Blog Ginger does not belong to me.

$25 Milestone Met! More Ponies!! I hit the $25.00 Per Artwork stretch on my Patreon, which means more pieces will be put into the book and I will now include background/minor ponies! I already had a couple of ideas in mind if this goal was met so I’m super happy I get to work on them now~~ ヾ(≧∇≦)ゞ ~ If you’d like to become a Patron and help support me in my current project of funding my workspace, CLICK HERE for more details ~

✧˖ ° Support Me On Patreon! ✧˖ °

Sorry about the lack of activity recently everyone, health and stress issues have hindered a lot of my work and it’s driven me into a bit of an art block, but in the mean time I have worked on my Patreon page more and vamped up some of the rewards as you can see!

~~ Now anyone who pledges more than just $1 can get exclusive views and WIP updates! ~~

Don’t forget you can pledge even less than $1 for no rewards, if you’re feeling super generous~  See Patreon’s FAQ for more information on pledging.

I also now have a GOAL set up!  Dependent on the success of my campaign, I hope to add even more goals as I go, to make the book even better~  Check out my page for more details.

If you can’t pledge, please try to share my patreon posts if you can, it really means a lot and I really need the help~

Thanks everyone, hope to bring you more arts soon!  \ (＾▽＾)

So...

To be perfectly honest I was logging in here expecting a full message box and preparing to apologise with all my heart but turns out my box is completely empty sooo...no loss for anyone I guess??

But regardless, I had planned to do some non-ask arcs on this blog at some point. 

Unfortunately for the past 3 months I have been incredibly stressed, and due to that I had to cut out one of my projects - this one.  Which is why I’ve been so quiet. I don’t want to stop doing this blog, but right now it is not a priority at all, and it’s easier on me if I just stop doing it temporarily.

My dad was made redundant over 5 weeks ago and I’m desperately trying, to no avail, to fund the conversion of our garage into a workspace for myself so I can be more productive. I’m getting increasingly more frustrated and depressed working in my room, it leaves me with no storage space and it results in me never leaving my room all day.  It is not healthy.

So about a month ago I set up a patreon for a pony art book to help me fund it, but it hasn’t really gotten anywhere.

I was originally going to make a comic to announce all this since it might’ve grabbed people’s attention more but I really can’t be bothered.  Plus I’m feeling rather dejected from the past few weeks so it probably wouldn’t have worked anyway.

To those of you that are still following this blog, I apologise you’ve been kept in the dark so long and I had been meaning to talk about this, my head is just...constantly scattered due to my stress.

I may reblog some of the stuff about my patreon whilst I’m logged in but that’s kinda it for now.  I’m sorry.

Bananas are great for your health! Although...eating them with ice cream probably counter-effects that...but it makes you happy, which is always good!  Just make sure you put your banana peels away when you're done...

Guess I should probably burn these. (Or put them in a folder Ginger never ever looks in.) Ask Box is now OPEN! ((OOC: New Bg, new icon, and the message box is all cleared out! As previously mentioned I will only be updating on Fridays now, and will most likely only have one ask a week due to my working on about 3-4 other projects...and this blog is kinda on the bottom of my list of priorities right now.  Anyway, new year! Let's see how it goes! ))

[askoopsiedoodle-blog]

Happy Hearth's Warming everypony!  I decided to go home and visit the family this year, so I probably won't be back at work until around new years.  Where presents are always great, it's also important to spend time with people you love, and to show a little bit of extra kindness to others. (Who knows, you may even make a new friend!) I hope you all are keeping safe and warm, and have a very good day!

Y-You guys say the dumbest things sometimes, I swear...

[askoopsiedoodle-blog]

I don't really know what is going on around here anymore... 

[askoopsiedoodle-blog]

It's nice to shake things up once in a while and experiment, but I don't really think this particular medium is for me.

[askoopsiedoodle-blog]

Events of a similar nature occurred throughout the prom... Most of the ponies were pretty nice and forgiving to me about it though, so I guess in that respect I did meet some nice stallions...But I reckon that isn't the kind of answer you were looking for.

Okay so it’s no real secret I am always struggling for money, and the holidays are coming up…thus Pony Commissions are opened!

I will be keeping them open until December 19th, so get ‘em before I close up for Christmas~ 

As usual, I will be taking 3 slots at a time;

If you want to commission me:

send me a fanmail OR a note on deviantart titled “pony holiday commission”

state the type of commission you would like, and give me a description with character references

 send all payments via Paypal to [email protected], (please include your username and request details in the note! It’s a lot easier to keep track of ;v; )

Don’t be afraid to ask questions~ <3

Again, signal boosts are always welcome, even if you can’t commission!

You can view my status list here 

Thanks, for reading~! ヽ(*≧ω≦)ﾉ

((OOC: In response to chill-lounge's question: 

The links are up to date, however I have a separate blog for my art now so I shall put that on there as well. (I also have a twitter, instagram, and dA but you can find those links on my art blog since they're not purely pony related~ )

You can check these out if you want to see my other stuff outside my Oopsie Ask blog- thanks for showing an interest, it really means a lot! ))

((OOC:  No, this isn't a dream, you are indeed seeing a post from the Ask Oopsie Doodle blog!  I want to say first of all, thank you so much to everyone who has been supportive and patient with me over the past 2 years since my hand injury.  It has been a long time since my last health update, the reason for that being that life has just...been pretty hectic. Even when it hasn't been busy, I've been having some pretty bad personal spells that leave me kinda drained and lacking in motivation as well as any good feelings about myself or my art.

This hasn't really changed, and I am still dealing with some health issues, but a part of me feels really bad for neglecting this blog, and I want to make myself busy again.  The future of Oopsie is pretty uncertain right now, as some day I will be focusing purely on my own original stuff and the blog will have to close up for good.

Today is not that day though, and even though the fandom has dispersed quite a lot, as well as my own personal enthusiasm for it, I want to at least post some things I never got to work on when my hands were out of order.

So starting two weeks from today, I will be posting answers I had planned from before the hiatus began - meaning, yes, a lot of out of date references, but they worked too well for me to bin them - and depending on how things go, I will try opening up the ask box again once I run out.  However, due to my trying to work up a schedule, and also avoid overloading myself, I will only post answers once a week, on Fridays.

And on that note I will head off to do some more work! Toodles! ))

Health Update #4

So I kinda forgot to log on and post about my recent health update;

long story short, I've been discharged and am technically on an "open appointment" with my therapy. Essentially they can't do much more for me and I've been told to just keep doing what I'm doing, and to call them if I have any problems~

However I'm still not ready to go back to digital art. I tried to use my tablet a few times and it still hurts a bit, so it's still gonna be a while before I can go back to asks here.
