Hey All

I feel like I do this a lot, apologize for not updating or being around and promising you new things... well I'm sorry, but in all honesty this blog is something that isn't first priority anymore due to a lot of real life situations and stuff. My partner and I are looking to move to a new apartment here soon and with that I had to pick up some extra shifts at work and I only have two days off a week. Most of my time off I'm working on commissions and when not that playing a game or sleeping because work stresses me out. I do intend to work on this blog again, I do intend to work on the story, it's all there it really is I just need to put it out and draw. I've also been debating on making this more anthro than MLP style... but not sure on that yet. The pony community is an odd one, I like the show, the art, and some people but I don't like the bad rep it has, and the extremes that are in this fandom to the point where I don't even want to say I do like Ponies... It's sad to say that but I've lost a lot of respect for "bronies" gah that word leaves a bad taste in my mouth... Anyway. I promise that I will art again for this blog, when I do not know. Know that I love these characters, each one of them I love to pieces and do not want to let them go. Thank you for your time, for now thought stay safe and.... *looks away from comp at Eris the pet rat... she's being super weird* Stay safe. thank you

Oh Geeze....

I feel awful about not updating in so long. A lot of things have been taking place in my life and I just don't have a lot of time for personal art right now. I picked up extra hours at my day job, and the time I'm not there I'm working on backed up commissions and getting things ready for Zenkaikon here in April (making prints, buttons ect.) I have not forgotten about you all, I've just been rather busy. I do plan on coming back with a blast! I just need to fix up the story a little bit, and get back to work on personal art again. AGAIN I'm super sorry for lacks of updates and all that, things should look up here soon and I should be able to get back to answering questions and posting the story again in a bit. Thank you

Nightmare Night! What a Fright! Give us something sweet to bite! I'm Sweet Cream, Equestria's scariest pony, I've got Star Shot with me, and she's Equestria's cutest acorn! Give candy to the acorn, for she is cute!

Toasty spoke in a soft friendly voice; “I hope you like popcorn balls and homemade sunflower seed fudge. I also have a glow stick for you that way others may be able to see you in the dark.”He smiled as he put the goodies into the bag; “And as for you, Ms Sweet Cream, I have some dark chocolate fudge.” He handed it over with a kiss on the cheek. "You two have a safe and enjoyable Nightmare Night."

Raychel; “I like your costume. Do you know where to go for the first house?”

Dream: "Thank you, I made it myself. I really like yours too, it's simply adorable! Also, I'm not sure, I say we try to get as many houses as we can!" Dream is super excited, this is her first Nightmare Night out, she normally spends them lock in her room. She hopes that Raychel and her will have a good time.

Fall is Here

so we have decided to change the carpet and make the place feel more like Autumn. Hope you all like it

[toastybundle]

for Sweet Cream's Halloween Event here we have Dream Eater's full sheet. She's normally not one to go out on Nightmare Night, but she was told by Toasty that all would be okay and he'd be there for her so she thought she'd give it ago this year. She scares easy, and is rather paranoid which causes her to over react in the simplest situations. She however is a big sweet heart and only wants to have fun. Toasty's Sheet Oil's Sheet

Toasty: "Oh my yes, she was just trying to figure out her costume. Thought I have to admit, she's being very bold considering she can get scared rather easy."

[toastybundle]

For Sweet Cream's Halloween Event I know that most, if not all of you do not know of The Dogwood Ghost, but this is something that is part of Toasty’s childhood and a legend in Cook Forest (where he lives). In short, it’s a ghost story about a demon stallion who steals little fillies and colts who lose their way in the fog. The children are usually found 3 days later in a run down cabin, they do not remember how they got there, the last thing they recall are Dogwood’s glowing red eyes. Lily is the daughter of Robin, and is the first child who was ever taken by Dogwood Stallion Toasty's Sheet

We're Back!

Mod: After a long while of being away I've declared that this blog is going to be active again. I was getting pressured to post something once a day, and to be honest I was freaking myself out. Then some real life shit came crashing down on me and I almost lost my apartment... so yea... We've gotten it taken care of and I'll be able to work on art more often now that I have a scheduled of what and when. (The days I work long shifts at my day job I'll work on personal art, the days I work short shift or have off will be commission work days). SO! What I'll do is I'll update the "Nightmare" story at least twice a month but ask will be open 24/7 and will answered when I can. I think that will help and get this blog back together <3 Thank you all for being there, and being supportive. So get to asking the gang at Smoke and Tinder anything you'd like and remember Halloween is just around the corner.

[toastybundle]

"Thank you all for your support, it means a lot to us all here at Smoke and Tinder. We hope you have enjoyed our company as much as we've enjoyed yours." Toasty spoke with joy in his voice; "I can't wait to keep the post coming for you guys, we are working as hard as we can here to get you more updates, so feel free to keep sending us those questions and love!" //thank you all for you love!

[toastybundle]

"I never want to see anyone out in the cold, it's just not right you know. Oil also has a gift for you if you'd like it, she had our friend Glacius knit you a lovely new scarf. So please little lady, if you ever need a place come to me." Toasty spoke as he made sure the fire was bright and warm for the both of them.

[toastybundle]

SHOW ME YOUR WAR FACE!!!!!!

GRRRRrrrrr!

[toastybundle]

"Hey there guys, just something to show you that we are indeed NOT DEAD, just been busy working on things and getting other things in order." Toasty explained as he sipped on his Cider. "Anyway, here you can see some of the ponies that I know, I'll let the mod introduce them to you, it seems Oil is getting herself into a fight with one of the customers." Top Row: Ember and Haze, these are Toasty's Parents Nimbus Cloud, she goes by Day Dreamer these days and is one of Toasty's friends. Evelyn Pines, she's one of the locals from Cook Forest, she lives a down the ways from Toasty's Cabin and sells fire wood to all who need it Middle Row: Dream Eater, you've all already met her. She's one of Toasty odd friends who has the odd ability to steal people's nightmares and bad memories. Buckly, a local deer who lives near Toasty's Cabin. He claims to be an artist and is into the darker things in life. One of Oils only friends. Toasty Bundle; you all know him, he's the owner of this Cabin. Sugar Shiver, Toasty's closest cousin who runs a ice cream parlor in town, but don't let that fool you it's a more uptight place then you might think, and let me tell you Sugar here, he's got a bit of a rude side. Bottom Row: Lucky Clover, She's Day Dreamer's roommate and dress maker. Her and Oil work on fashion together and tend to hang out quiet often. Oil Dip, Toasty's closest and oldest friend, these two have known each other since child hood. You already know she's into the darker things and find them rather pleasant and interesting You will be seeing more of these ponies in the story, so stay tuned for updates. Thank you!

Dead...

//Sorry for being a little dead around here guys, I've been working on commissions and things as of late to help pay off my rent and other bills. I've also picked up an extra day a week at my part-time job so things are a little busy on my end. I will continue to update Toasty here when I get the chance to do so, so please keep asking questions and feel free to talk 'em up. The story, "Nightmare" will continue as well, I got a script written up and I really enjoy the tale so it will get done. (It will also explain Toasty's Burn mark on his neck and his CM so, if you want to ask question regarding them I'll work them into the story as well as any others that seem to fit the line as well ^^).

With that being said, thank you for you all being patient and for being there. This blog is alive because of the love you give it. *hugs*
