*coughs* I said I'd post what I've been working on so here's the sketch. My style clashes a lot naturally, so Tazuna here is my very helpful reference for height and anatomy [facial mostly].
I had a difficult time deciding on her appearance and personality, and still have yet to pick a name for her! But I did make notes in preparation.
[Those and More; Below the Cut!]
Team Name; Dalim
Why these Umas???
Agnes Tachyon is my FAVORITE horse in the game, though I've always been partial to characters with mad science theming ♡ Naturally drawn to her racing outfit, she's the first Uma I properly trained. She set the pace for me quite literally and thus far most of my trainees have been Medium Pace Chasers.
This shows in my picks for other distances, with the cute angel Curren-Chan, and the younger Nishino Flower, and my Long picks, Matikanefukukitaru and Matikanetannhauser. Tosen was a natural pick thanks to simply our love of nail care!
Of course I play the global version of UmaMusume, so there are some umas such as Logotype I'm unable to pull for, but everyone listed on the blue sticky notes are recruits I'd love to train, especially as official members of Dalim! Some I just plain haven't pulled yet. (Please come home Hishi Akebono and Agnes Digital)
Why Dalim???
Umamusume Teams are named after the brightest stars of systems or constellations! Naturally, with a scientist theming being at the front of my enjoyment and tightly wound into Tachyon's character, the fact that Dalim was the brightest star in Fornax, the Chemical Furnace, made it the most obvious choice to me!
We'll turn even the most leaden footsteps to gold!
Yea, you, are you interested in art commissions, but maybe dont have the cash to spend? Want to get a free art piece AND help an artist figure out their prices and terms? I'd like to make some fresh art, and YOU can help!
[More information below the cut for those interested in an in depth explanation.]
I have hit a huge financial wall, with my inability to drive preventing me from applying to more jobs that, if licensed, I could reasonably work. I don't have friends or family nearest me that can teach me to drive, so I'm going into driver's ed.
Unfortunately that still means I have to reopen comms at some point to fund that education. And maybe thrift some new professional wear, as mine are- no longer existent. I've grown out of them.
But you said you're doing free art?
Yep! I haven't done commissions in a proper minute and would like to get some feedback on the process without the financial risk. What this means is I ask to draw art of your characters, ships, whatever, in exchange for feedback on TAT, TOS, communication, etc! I may ask later, if I may use the watermarked image as promotion for my comms, but you are OF COURSE, welcome to ask that I not!
I'm simply most happy with the practice and help.
I'm most interested in offering Profile Pics and Reference Sheets, but I know everyone's interests vary by the art style! If interested in anything whatsoever, I encourage you reach out to me with what you'd like!
I DO ask for patience! Because this is a free service, that I'm offering, with limited availability, I ask that you not spam me with questions about follow up, and that you understand if I end up turning you away if the volume of requests turn out to be too much.
Thank you for reading below the cut! I hope to hear from you soon!

This is one of my favorite Characters, born kind of entirely of my live of the dragons in Breath of the Wild and just how often I would use Revali's Gale and glide across Hyrule. For those of you interested in comms, I have a vote up on my Ko Fi to determine the price!
kasstick added a poll on Ko-fi
I have my redesign of Celestia up on Patreon now for whosoever is interested! Patreon members will be able to redeem 15% off on all future commissions through Ko Fi, and I hope to be opening commissions before end of year!
Sending these girls in a group; I finished my MLP Mane 6 Redesigns in the style of G3- My favorite generation as far as nostalgia and artstyle goes! I loved playing with their cutie marks and hairstyles, as well as their markings!
I have a free post up on my Patreon with these most recent ponies and my plans going forward, as well. Consider subscribing for free for my old art, general updates, and some questions.
This December I am drawing Celestia, Luna, Cherry Blossom, and Minty, for my patrons! For exclusive access to pony votes or requests, consider becoming a member of the patreon! For the month of December only, new members can use code HOLIDAZE for 50% off my highest tier, pricing it the same as my lowest for an insane deal!

This time fandom based, for those of you quite familiar with the Amazing Digital Circus; I hope you'll enjoy them!
I know most circus characters can't remove clothes, so I made their hat their limbs! They can remove limbs fairly easily in this digital world anyways and-
They have just the one curl? Better to keep that on.
Solara is an OC I made approximately like uh? Three? Four years ago? I don't draw her much, but at the time I REALLY felt the urge to have a slime OC. I think I grouped her in with my my hero ocs at the time but I think that's ultimately unfair to her 😅 So she's one of the first of my characters I'm redesigning!
She smells of orange citrus zest imo.
Also YES!! The spotify link works!! I tested it in every stage to make sure you can scan it, it should take you directly to Solaira's OC playlist!
My Pinkie Pie redesign is finished! I wont apologize for redesigning ponies that have been redesigned a million times over, it's a fun exercise and it's giving me tons of elation. Four to six year old me is screaming with elation in fact.
[Below the Cut; Patreon Preview, Full Image]
I also have Applejack finished! She is posted on my patreon for those who would like to sign up for early looks at ALL of my art and redesigns. You can see her here:

As well as a preview of our next My Little Pony, Fluttershy!
Hello all! My spouse and I are short some cash for our marraige, which we were/are hoping to complete and file by the end of October, and our party, to celebrate with friends and family.
My commissions are still open, and I've successfully managed to put up my patreon, which will be receiving updates on all of my MLP redesigns ahead of time, as well as all my other projects! Please check them out!
Having an autistic horse moment again!! Decided to try another attempt at watching G4 MLP:FiM and it's series and I'm going to be redesigning the ponies in this style as I watch in my free time because I need to do more practice that's not my own characters- and I like the style.
Pinkie Pie is one of my fave of the main 6 and I've started posting my work to Patreon! I know MLP redesigns are common, but as I step back up, something I want to do is draw all of these ponies in this style, possibly redesigning them! If I posted them, would you guys be interested in that?
