Writers feel this, too. I'm really not just attention whoring, I like feeling like I'm doing something worthwhile to others.

HECK YES. And really, I should add a footnote to any posts I make referencing 'artist' because I really do include writers, musicians, illustrators, animators, hell, even cosplayers and costume designers, in to that word.

Writers in particular I feel get shafted so much. If it's fanwork, the original creators are never going to see it for fear of stealing ideas. Fanwork or original work, it only takes a second to look at art, it can take 5 minutes to DAYS to read something. So not only do you have to hope that someone will invest the time to read, but also invest the time to offer feedback. That SUCKS.

(This is why I am really adamant about including bits of writing in beyondthebreach. Writers do not get enough recognition and you all deserve it in spades.)

*shakes you* Never let 'spoiler' stuff stop you from creating things! You hinder yourself the more you think 'oh that spoils'!

I know I know! And it's not like anyone knows if I'm actually telling the truth or not. I COULD BE LYING. Or I could do what I always do and change things right at the last minute.

Is this new commission schedule going to conflict with my Journey series idea?

Nope! Your commission series and the two other larger ones I also have actually were what I was considering and why I'm going to look at commissions a little differently. I'm just trying to look for ways to both work on larger projects, but also have smaller pieces that can help bolster income while those larger pieces are being worked on.

It's... kind of my first step toward some larger changes, and better organization on my part. Especially since organization has been my downfall lately. So it's still being mulled over right now, and I'll probably be editing the info a few times before I actually post it so I know it will actually work the way I'd like it to.

Nothing about baby goats?

And she really loved baby goats.

And bunnies.

Okay, I might need a bigger tombstone.

curran12 reblogged your post and added:

MLP ;3

1. The first character I first fell in love with

RARITY. My artist type pony.

2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now

Applejack! Such an understated character.

3. The character everyone else loves that I don’t

Rainbow Dash. Part of that is she just seems to be one of the pones that Hasbro uses and abuses in it's product line.

4. The character I love that everyone else hates

I think Rarity? I never see much Rarity love.

5. The character I used to love but don’t any longer

Discord. I loved him at first, but I have the sneaking suspicion he's going to be used as a weak plot device from here on out.

6. The character I would totally smooch

Uh... They're ponies so that is a little weird. If they were HUMAN? Rarity would probably be a babe.

7. The character I’d want to be like

ALL OF THEM. Each of the Mane 6 has these great strong traits that I wish I could steal. But I think I'd want to steal a lot of Rarity.

8. The character I’d slap

Aw, I'd feel really bad for slapping any of them.

9. A pairing that I love

Errr.... none romantically. Platonic friendships? Rarity and Applejack. Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo. Cuuuuuute friendships man.

10. A pairing that I despise

Ahahahahaaaaaa... I'm not big on pairings in MLP AT ALL, but... anything to do with the Cutie Mark Crusaders, either with each other or the other pones, turns me off entirely.

I wish I could talk you into reading my stuff at some point. Dang it, why can’t I get more smart, insightful people!? DX

I owe you an email response! Short answer: I will so read your stuff.

Well, if we're all piling on, I find your coloring work fascinating. I don't know much about the practice of art, but I am always blown away by your shading and level of detail. And, on a side note, you need more encouragement and hugs. :)

Are we looking at the same color pieces? XD Color is what I feel the most trepidation over. My color theory classes in college were always what I did worst in. Buuuuut I'm glad people seem to be liking my color work! Shows improvement, right?
