Attempt #2 at giving alicorn Sunny a different mane style. The last version had too many strands, so I'm trying something more tapered. In the process, I learned a nifty trick to do some simple shading.

Was never a fan of Sunny's mane in Alicorn form. I'd like to see it more flowing, but not like Celestia or Luna. Here's attempt #1.

Given how messed up everything is right now, I think Minty's got the right idea. But I'm in Colorado, and did a road trip to Florida back in July. My soul still trembles at the memories of Kansas' length. I'm gonna have to keep my fingers crossed that flights will be available.

Been working on a Sunny design since tonight's stream. Really struggling with the shape of her muzzle. So, good ol' voting time. A or B?

Finally got this guy all put together. An amazing 3rd party figure!

Friendly reminder: Daylight Savings ends this weekend. Tonight, we fall back an hour. And yet, despite this welcome extra hour, I feel so dang weird throughout the rest of the week!

Please watch this and send your support towards Lightning Bliss and her family. youtu.be/2AGkJ-fuYH8?...

Appreciate everyone's feedback on the last Twilight manestyle post! I got one more set because I thought, "Why limit myself to Celestia's swooping mane?" Let me know which option you like most or if there's a blend that sounds fun.

Three or more? I recognize the whole blessed cast!

So, I'm not a big fan of Twilight's full-grown design. Primarily the mane. So I'm trying some ideas out for an alternate style. Which do you prefer? A or B?

No-no-no! You can't invoke that title in a fantasy series I'm enjoying! Though I do have a twisted nostalgia for the days leading up to that Game of Thrones episode. Having read the books, I waited to see how people would react the following Monday.

Did a little more work on Twilight's evolution from crowning to growing into the next Equestrian ruler. Upon the advice of @mintyroot.bsky.social, I tried a more stylized, rounded mane style before her powers grow to the point where she just has to let it flow freely.

I am so very envious of Kamen Rider Zeztz's protagonist, Baku Yorozu. He as the greatest superpower of all: the ability to go to sleep in just a few minutes! Sooooooo envious!

Without getting into the reasons behind this, I did a test of Stan Bush's "The Touch" against the combining sequence for the heroic mecha, GaoGaiGar. I only made two edits to the video portion, but it's amazing how closely they sync up.

Hmm. Here comes a new challenger.

Only a few hours until October. I got my costume ready. How about yourselves?

Gosh darn it! I finally got properly into "The Dragon Prince", but upon hearing Zubeia's voice, I can only picture a white alicorn princess.

Day's almost done and I haven't been part of the rapture. There are two possible explanations, one of which I do not enjoy.

Finally saw “K-Pop Demon Hunters”, and I see why everyone is singing its praises. But I think I’m not in the right headspace to fully appreciate it. So much terrible news, it’s really having an impact. So I’ll just have to watch it again, later.

I'm not dismissing the grief of the past week, but I also think we need to remember other people caught up in violence. Weston Halsne's friend, Victor, used his own body as a shield against gunfire. Shouldn't a young man this brave receive some recognition? www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

Hey all. My bud Trinary has lost track of his ring. If anyone @everfreenw.com finds a ring without an owner, could you turn it in to lost and found and send me a reply?

Behold! My setup @everfreenw.com! Pendants! Hats! Journals! Pins! Buttons! Come to table 74 and check them out!

I am uniquely delighted to see a plushy of older Twilight. You can find this at Equestria Plush’s table @everfreenw.com!

Oh my goodness. It’s not even September yet!

Watching the credits to Fantastic Four right now. What a great movie! I highly encourage everyone to see this. It carries a lot the energy, visual spectical, and fun of phase one Marvel movies!

Before and after! Across 2/3 of the country and one heck of an elevation drop, we have moved my friends into their new home. With great help from our bud, Brawny, who was a powerhouse in unloading and helping out a group of weary travelers!

Hellllllllllo @everfreenw.com! Looking forward to seeing you all in August alongside

After a long journey, my friends and I have arrived in Florida. Now begins the bitter-sweet process of moving their stuff into their new home.

This… is Kansas. It seems to be nothing more than a loop of this same patch of land. Such loops test my already-questionable sanity.

Before heading out, my bud, Cruellica, needed to give her kitty a bath. Kinda undermines the “cruel” part in her name.

The first part of the adventure: loading up the moving van!

Just for fun, I've been working on versions of Twilight as she grows into her new role as leader of Equestria. First step, her mane lengthening as her powers grow. Once I get the other angles designed, I'm thinking of a Luna-type body at the intermediate stage.

So, I finally beat "God of War: Ragnarok", including the toughest boss: The Valkyrie Queen, Gna. Loved the story, but I'm disappointed by the boss battles. I would like to feel satisfaction at overcoming such an obstacle, but I feel mostly relief at not having to try again.

Was trying to look up a God of War scene. YouTube tried to guess. Sometimes I forget how much deicide Kratos performed.

This is such a foolish mistake. Transformers One is the best movie in the franchise. I say this as a fan of the 1986 movie, but nostalgia doesn't win over this latest story. comicbookmovie.com/transformers...

The announcer at today’s race track likes to say “Bing-bong”. It takes all my strength not to shout out “Mayonnaise!”

A very happy birthday to @theillustriousq.bsky.social!

Needs to be said, loudly: Happy Pride Month!

I first saw this image in a book on dragons, and it’s so well done that it terrifies me. The scale of the creature in relation to the surrounding objects. The colors denoting the deep blue sea. The detail of the teeth in particular. If such a creature existed, you couldn’t pay me to get on a boat!

A very happy birthday to my bud @trinary.bsky.social! Here’s to a fresh journey around the sun with lots of pins!

For the past week, I’ve been seeing signs of a Pokemon card craze. Could someone clue this old man in on what he’s been missing?

I don't understand this trope, but that doesn't matter. Even if I understood the cultural context, I'd hate it no matter what. From where I stand, this doesn't look romantic. It looks invasive and threatening. Oddly, the "Ciada-style" is simultaneous worse, but also funny.

Hey folks! Just a friendly reminder that I'm still open for commissions, but I own't be for long as slots fill up fast! If interested, send me a DM on Twitter, Bluesky or my DA page and I'll get back to you!

Congratulations to the new Pope! I know next to nothing about him, so the coming weeks will be interesting.

I can't help but feel called out. youtu.be/cUGKLgDlQgc?... I sense @sweetiebloom.bsky.social's hand in this!

Forget this “not bad for a Marvel movie“ talk. #Thunderbolts is fun, entertaining, emotional at points, and overall great! Definitely has a fun time watching it. And Red Guardian is my spirit animal.

#Babscon was a wonderful time and I hope I was able to add to the experience. Thanks for a great weekend, everyone!

If someone BABSCon is seeking this hat, I am leaving it with the lost and found at the hotel’s front desk.
