A Pony Every Week

This will have a drawing every week, usually on a Tuesday (US time), and is mostly for me to improve on my drawings, so they won't look great sometimes due to experimentation. And they include ponies for an extra challenge. This blog is SFW. Critique is also welcomed, just put it in the ask box or the submit box if it's too wordy. Request/Idea Count: 8!

Hello!

I'm back! Got my laptop fixed and finished what was important. It's been a while, hasn't it?

That finale though, what a way to end a season. I've got no doubts that that's going to lead to plenty of great fan-made stuff. (It probably has already, I haven't checked)

If anyone asked for a picture and they don't want it anymore, let me know.

Pretty sure that worrying about updating a blog about colorful horses should be lowest on the priority list.

My words oftentimes become skewed, so if it seems as though this blog is my utmost priority, that isn't the case. I enjoy running this blog, yes, but it isn't as though I devote all of my time to it, there are more things that need my attention.

I'm more worried about things that I used digital art on, such as my in progress college portfolio, commissions, etc.

There's a problem...again.

I posted about this on my dA journal yesterday, but I'm posting this here also. Putting this under a Read More because this is kind of long.

Basically what happened is that a few days ago I formatted my hard drive. I did it because my laptop is...well to be honest I don't know what's wrong with it, but I have to format the disk once in a while because the OS just gradually becomes a buggy mess (even a clean installation), but that's a story for another day. So, yes. I formatted. I backed up all my files, so this isn't about me losing all of my data.

I have the files I need, I just can't download the programs needed to open them.

See, when I formatted, I also upgraded. So, because my amazingly stupid self didn't think of downloading the versions I needed beforehand, I don't have any art programs to actually open any of my files. Nor do I even have my tablet driver, I'm pretty much stuck to mouse and touchpad in terms of digital art. And of course, my internet speed is 3-10kbps on average, so it's not like I can just download everything I need in one sitting. It's taken me two days to try to get updates, and it's failed every time so far.

So, in short, I fucked up so badly that I'm pretty much screwed until I can get access to internet that doesn't suck.

So, no post tomorrow because I can't open my files, and no posts for a while (hopefully not) until I can get to download my programs. And my tablet driver.

I mean, I could just do traditional art in the meantime, but I don't have the driver for my scanner either, I only have my phone.

Snipped because I admit I sounded like a fucking blubbering idiot, but yeah.

I think next time I'll leave the technological stuff to my friend that actually does this kind of stuff regularly.

Requests Temporarily Closed

So, I admit, I'm in a little bit over my head. So, to help alleviate this, I'm temporarily closing them. Please do not send me requests until I say I'm opening them again. Any requests currently in my inbox will be completed. Any sent after this post will be ignored until I finish the rest.

[idrawweeklypony]

Who is currently o the request list?

OC's? Two. In total? Eight. I won't list specific users.

I think I'm going to close the option for a while until I catch up.

[idrawweeklypony]

Idea sent in from lunarphoenix who came up with characters who don't use magic suddenly have to figure out how to use their new horns!

"Okay Applebloom, just focus on moving this apple for now."

"WRONG APPLE!"

[idrawweeklypony]

If anybody has requested an OC in the last couple of days, I'm letting you know that because a lot of people have asked for OCs I'm only posting a small portion today (about two or three). Next week I will post the rest. However, if you'd rather have it earlier, let me know and I'll just submit them to you directly.

Have a nice day!

[idrawweeklypony]

Do you do requests? c:

Yes! Just send an Ask! If you want an OC drawn, put a photo of them in the Submit box.

[idrawweeklypony]

Hello! First off, apologies for the no-post Tuesday, I had some life things to take care of. Well, I still have to do them but I acknowledged them, at least.

Second off...I ran out of ideas again. I don't know why, but it's becoming a little challenging trying to come up with new ideas for me. Maybe I'm finally hitting an art block. (i sure hope not)

Anyway, is there anything you'd like to see next?

[idrawweeklypony]

An anon said there wasn't enough Trixie. Well, this is a start, at least.

I'm not sure how tumblr is going to handle this image, so to see the full version go here.

[idrawweeklypony]

Yes. Yes, she is now ready to go flying. Several rolls of bubble wrap and a helmet later and she is ready. So ready. She just has to flap and jump. Just. Flap. And. Jump. Is Rainbow shouting something? She can't tell. Just. Fly. There we go. Success!

...Nope. Nope nope this was a bad idea abortabortabort--
