DJ from Weirdogs fan art for Simon's birthday!

[ask-iamnotanalicorn]

Ya’ll have been SO patient as I take forever getting new updates done, so here, please have these miscellaneous arts I’ve done over the past few months that I haven’t gotten around to posting yet! (EXCEPT FOR THE LAST ONE, I DID NOT DRAW THAT IT IS PART OF AN ART TRADE WITH @ask-thecapricorncrew!!! LOOK HOW COOL SHE DREW PIRATE-ERA SALESPITCH!!!)

Picture Details And Explanation Of River’s Slowness Below!

I plan to get at least one IANAA comic out this month, but I have two big projects (a commission and first prize for the 1000 follower contest), that aforementioned promised comic, I’m working on writing my book a little every day so I can actually publish this thing someday before I’m old, I’m in like THREE roleplays on Discord (one of which is a High Seananigans AU with Salespitch as a merchant mariner captain), and I have my regular job every day. That’s not even counting the three or four other less time-sensitive projects I would like to do but can probably continue procrastinating on, although I really need to get that one story about Pitch Black written for my Patreons and...

HNGH.

So yes, thank you for your patience! If you want to toodle on over to the Discord, we’ll be happy to have you join in our randomness while I continue the struggle that is learning better time management and not stressing under the load of multiple projects, whooooo!

ON TO THE PICTURES:

1) 2nd Place Prize for Melody Song! She won a two-character flats-only ship pic of Soarin and Rainbow Dash snuggling with a good book. The cloud couch was my idea because it was obviously the perfect couch for two Wonderbolts and it was fun to draw. :D

2) 3rd Place Prize for SimonWL of the webcomic Weirdogs! He wanted his Weirdogs character Sammy drawn as a pony. He liked the lineart prize so much that he commissioned me the extra fee to get it colored and shaded! FUN FACT: Simon and his wife live in Austria, but she’s originally from the area where I live, so they happened to be visiting right around the time I finished his art, and I was able to give it and his toy prize (Discord) to him directly instead of paying exhorbitant shipping fees. We also just had an awesome time hanging out at Panera Bread. :D

3) @thehyperumbreon‘s kirin Anjin getting bapped in the head with a newspaper wielded by yours truly’s ponysona off-screen. I may have posted the lineart of this before, but he paid an additional commission fee to have it colored. This is very true to his character and also led to the creation of the BAP! emoji in my Discord, which is used very prolifically and has spread to at least five other servers, some of which I am not even in. I am very proud of my legacy in the world of internet instant messaging.

4 & 5) As mentioned, I did an art exchange with @ask-thecapricorncrew! We were chatting and I was like, “Man if I weren’t trying to save money I’d totally have you draw Sales in a pirate outfit” and then Blu was like, “Yeah if I weren’t saving money I’d totally commission you to draw one of my characters” and I was like “I have a solution.” She finished hers MUCH FASTER but I believe she liked my rendition of Doran (her shapeshifting pony explorer)’s kirin form, so it’s all good. :D And Sales looks SO DANG DAPPER. He is now the captain of a merchant mariner trading vessel in a small rp in my Discord called the High Seananigans AU. 

That’s it for today! Tune in next time at (incoherent muttering) to see what happens next on this blog, and HAVE A GREAT WEEK AND ALL THAT!

Today’s Webcomic Recommendation: Weirdogs by Simondrawsstuff!

Weirdogs is a goofy slice-of-life and occasional adventure webcomic following Dodger, a young pup who loves nothing more than relaxing and playing video games. 

But when one day, his life makes a drastic change, will he ever be able to go back to that comfy lifestyle, or will he and his friends be thrown into increasingly weirder adventures?

Though still early into the comic as posting this, the characters are all fun and colorful, and I’m eager to see where Dodger’s life takes him! 

You can start following his life too!

Today’s Friday Fan-Art stars Dodger from SimonDraws’ webcomic, Weirdogs! When he isn’t able to go couch-surfing, he has to settle for chair-surfing.

Weirdogs, besides having a colorful art-style and cute character design, is probably going to be relatable for lots of readers out there... for better or worse!

I’m feeling better about correcting stuff later in drawings now, as well as being less perfectionist about my lines. Gonna work on striking a balance until I figure out what works best!

What a game looks like says a lot about it, and that's where @simonwl comes in! From designing our games' look to even doing these promo graphics, Simon's work can be felt in almost everything here! (also, check out @WeirdogsComic!) http://simonwl.com/comics/weirdogs.html
