Twilight said a certain something in Rainbow Rocks after the Dazzlings were blasted by the Elements of Harmony.

Twilight Sparkle: Without those pendants and the magic you brought here from Equestria, they’re just three harmless teenage girls.

Soooo… Does that mean that they can go home to Equestria now that they’re just harmless teenage girls?

Headcanon says yes. The requirement to stir up discontent among peoples to gain sustenance certainly didn’t get them any friends. When the curse was gone, the slate was wiped clean! There’s almost nopony who knows them in Equestria. So now here they are, staying up late, sitting on a couch in their newly rented apartment, eating greasy, unhealthy tacos and watching the local music channel. Sonata likes the food, Aria’s simply too tired to stay up longer with her sisters, and Adagio? Well, she may not have the world wrapped around her finger– or hoof now– but she couldn’t be more content living with the friendly neighbors of Ponyville– who, mind you, she did nothing to gain their cheerful welcome and kindness.

One evening Starlight took a trip to Canterlot to brush up on some important theorems that Twilight said she missed.

Then in the middle of a fascinating study, she realized she wasn’t alone in the library. A set of white hooves plucked her from her seat and gently wrapped themselves around her barrel. It was only until she looked up at the muzzle pressing into hers that she realized just who it was that was hugging her.

“P-princess? Why’s your mane so… blue?”

“Oh don’t worry about that… So, Starlight is it?”

“Yes, your highness…”

“Well, I think that Twilight made a good choice in an apprentice; You’re very polite.”

“Um… Thank you Your highness… W-would you please let me go now?”

“Oh no, don’t let me stop you,” She giggled. “As far as you’re concerned, I’ll be your pillow.”

Starlight knew something was wrong, but she dared not say anything about it in fear of some sort of punishment. So with a nervous smile, she hesitantly returned the affection.

So here’s another on and off piece I did during this week. It started out as a fluffy piece of Celestia nuzzling up to Starlight glimmer, But things do tend to get away from me. Look at the fuzzy ponies. Just look at them!

Anyway, next time, I’m going to try more painting without thick black lines. It should be a more detailed piece, I hope.

Relevant.

This is where I dump a bunch of doodles! It be my 9th set of doodles. Do read the picture captions, hmm?

(1) First you have to know ponies… Which I’m sure you wouldn’t be here if you didn’t. Then you need to know Minecrat… and then you need to know Thaumcraft, a minecraft mod! In the most basic terms, the player researches projects and gains new recipies to create new magical things. Some things are forbidden knowledge, which cause an effect called warp. Warp being a nasty magical sort of madness which causes all sorts of nasty things, the most mild bad thing being Flux Flu which increases magic cost. So here’s Celestia taking care of a poor booksmart pony down with a little Flux Flu.

(2) Said changeling nymph is from Here.

Last Wedsnesday, I had someone send me a personal message, asking if I took art trades or commissions. I replied that I don’t like art trades, but I do do commissions, and I’d be happy to give them my rates. (you can find those rates on my DA account, by the way) They asked for the $30 linework, and I was ecstatic! I Thought this would be a great opportunity to get some money in my pocket! So I went to it with great enthusiasm, using their pony creator OC to make something pretty.

When it was all done, I posted it up with a watermark over it, secure in my confidence that I’d get my money.

It’s times like these that I despise my naivete.

Group shot! A picture of the mane six on the maiden voyage of the S.S. Harmony in my Redblak universe. With the bearer of magic becoming ageless, it was suspected by everypony that they would need to seek out five new bearers by the time the others were in retirement with great grandchildren running around. However, it seemed that despite the Elements being returned to the tree of harmony, their connection still remained strong, and the ponies were not aging. Research and discovery lead to the knowledge that anypony associated with the bearers of harmony or were affected by them would live longer because of it… to the point of never aging past adulthood.

That and with Twilight being crowned princess of friendship, and Pinkie being friends with everypony she met… Well Pinkie had managed to drag just about everypony on the planet into this whole “live forever” thing.

Fellas, I’ve got an active mod blog where I do post artwork! head on over!

redblackoc:

That’s a thing, huh? A thing that happens every year…

New year’s resolution? I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Sorry guys, I’m not making any commitments I can’t keep. that being said, do give Redblak some love. My inbox is empty, and I really can’t move on without giving the character an action some people might not like. So please, send some [INPUT], and I’ll be right back to work! But if you need a guilt trip, well…

Come on, who could say no to that face?

So it occured to me that I’ve not drawn Zecora very recently, and I decided that this should not stand. So here we have this lovely little thing. Look at her, the poor thing! Applebloom’s so upset for making her sick, she has no idea that the zebra just doesn’t care!

I require my students to get up early and ready for breakfast by seven in the morning. This little lazybones here was apparently allowed to sleep in late back home. Sorry Rainbow Dash, your daddy might have been more lenient, but not me!

firefanatic:

Okay, just how many times is she going to be cooped up in tatzlpony crop? It’s like the artist has an obsession or something…

And that’s the conclusion of this chapter! I came to the decision that I wanted to change the focus to our human characters, or some other ponies. So I’m gonna do both. Anyway, I think I’ve finally found a shading technique that I’m happy with, so this is what I’ll use from now on. Meanwhile I’ll continue the crusade against crude coloring! Until then!

Next update on this blog! TEH HYPE IS REAL

It’s all over. The predators have been locked away for good this time, and with them any sense of rivalry between the ungulates. It’ll be a long trip back, but before they even begin, a moment of respite is absolutely necessary. One night in a hotel is plenty enough for the victorious six, and having proper bandages and splints instead of fiber, rags and sticks is a very welcome feeling. Now a fire warms their bodies, and a strange feeling not much unlike friendship warms their hearts.

So now I’ve drawn all the ungulates that we currently know from Them’s Fightin’ Herds. A winner is me! With that, I’ll probably think about what I’ll do next. Most likely case? more What is Hoo-Man. So far I’ve got some fairly decent reception on Derpibooru, and I’d like to continue that project. I just need to not fall into the trap of making any of the characters I introduce perfect. Easy enough, right?

In the meantime, I’m gonna take a break and relax, waiting for my next day job to pop up. Catch you all later!

Hey guys! Firefanatic checking in. I haven’t done a blog post in a while, so I’m doing one right now. Anyway, as you can see in the title, I want to ask about money stuff.

See, as an artist, I have to work a day job, but my first love will probably always be the arts; drawing, music making, writing, and a little side of programming.

But obviously, I would dearly like to not have to work a day job, and work on my labor of love. So this brings a question. “Who is willing to support me, and how, so that I can post up pony artworks more often?”

There are many sorts of ways I could think of begging my audience for money, but I feel it would be better if I asked your opinion. I’ll even take one or two commissions, provided I know how to set up my paypal account properly…

Anyway, that’s all I have to talk about. Please do leave a comment regarding how you might support me, if at all. Remember: You aren’t obligated, I do have a day job, but if you help, this can become my job!

Daytime: I love them! But I think they’re a little afraid of me…
