Wow, it has been a very LOOOOONG time since I was last on here. I was wondering if I could pop on for nostalgia reasons and oh boy, it can! here is a more recent picture of Fadingstar! I might actually post some more of my pony art on here actually, might be nice to have a place to specifically post my pony art! I am also curious to see who is still active here!
(@welcometoflowercarousel) (I only can ask questions from my modblog >
And good evening to you as well.
Hmmm… As for extraordinary flowers… I can only really remember the more problematic plants, such as blood blooms, by the name it is fairly easy to tell how they can be a threat. Their ability to fly and tendency to swarm made it very difficult to deal with them, luckily Swiftblaze has a gift when it comes to setting things on fire. Other than that I tend to avoid the more floral areas. They usually attract rather… unpleasant creatures….
(Thank you for the complement and the ask! It did take some time of looking through my dnd books to find anything on plants, there is quite a bit on fungi, but not all that much on flowers... I will try to be more prompt with my posts in the future...)
Do you like videogames?
Err…. I have not even attempted to play any videogames…. And from what I know of them, it is for the best that I don`t ever play them. I am content with reading books in my down time.
Pagedancer: I don’t play videogames myself, I am usually too busy to play. But, Ashensky enjoys playing them with the kids, they have mentioned to me multiple times that he is not all that great at them. Swiftblaze: Wait…. What is that over there?
(Whelp…. This took a really long time…. I am horribly sorry. I fur one really enjoy videogames! though that is part of the problem, the other is that I have been working on quite a few large projects for school. Anyway, Thank you so much for the ask! I am sorry it took this long to be replied to. )
Hello everyone, I am so sorry about being gone for so long, life has been rather busy.... I will be working on asks, but I think that I will have to go back to traditional for a small while as I have been having issues with my tablet.... And I have been having issues focusing while on my computer... so err... I will try to get in some digital work where I can, but to make sure I am not taking forever working on asks, I will be mixing in some traditional art.
askthetravelingguardian here I hope this is ok, let me know what you think.
(It looks great! Thank you so much!! The tail is a little off, but it still shows great movement, so do not worry about changing it! And I am super sorry about taking so long to replying to it… I have barely had any chance to be on here for long until recently…. )
Hi thanks for giving me feed back and I’m glad you like it, it might sound weird since it wasn’t to long ago that I drew this but if I were to draw this image again I would do a lot of things differently, I’ve improved on my drawing style a lot in a short time. I haven’t been on in quite a long time either to be honest, I have a lot of assessments for uni so I’m less active.
(Drawing tends to be that way, sometimes it takes forever to improve, sometimes you improve vastly in a few days! I am glad that you are still working on progressing your art! Even if it away from tumblr. :) Anyway, I do wish you luck with this uni! and thaks again! )

(Note attached to box) Dear Fadingstar. We thank you for choosing Mysterious Deliveries to handle your delivery needs. Inside is your order of *2* glass eyes. We hope you find everything to your satisfaction and look forward to hearing from you again. M.D. Inc.
And that is what it says..... I was looking for a delivery company that would be willing to deliver from the more exotic places that I travel, I honestly did not expect a package....I will have to check to see if these eyes are safe and if they fit after we are done here, but it would be nice to have when my bandages begin to bother me.
PageDancer: It was strange that they where able to locate you all the way out here... Though I guess they are just dedicated to their job! And the creature that delivered the package was certainly unique! I will see about contacting them when I get back to Canterlot and see if I interview them!
SwiftBlaze: Fake eyes? You can not see from it, so why jam a piece of glass into your face? This is strange.....
(Holy crow this is like a month late?! I am super duper sorry! I have been crazy busy until now.... Err..... Anyways..... Thank you for the package! I look forward to your outstanding services in the future! )
Your mane style is... different.
Yeah, that little tuft is rather strange. Back while I was still in the academy, I had taken one of the holiday vacations to head over and help out my brother. While moving a couple things for him, Ashensky decided to practice a spell to see if he could auto organize some of his book shelves. Well…. It misfired and he ended up cursing a section of my hair. Luckily it is nothing serious, I mostly can not alter it in anyway… So now I have this little tuft that will occasionally… err… Glow…
As for the rest of my mane; curly, wiry hair runs in the family and it takes a lot for it to look nice. I do not care enough to take the hours it would for it to not look horribly messy. That and when it is caught on something I simply just cut off that section and call it good.
(I am super sorry about this taking so long, I had ended up being caught up with work and the like. I have also determined that I am really, reeeally bad at drawing buildings… Either way, Thanks for the ask! )
This is a picture I had drawn for melodiesinequestria of her detective character, Fractalfocus. She Is a fantastic roleplayer and a very nice person! So If you are interested in that sort of stuff, please check out her blog!
Golden: Have you ever met a pony who is a skilled archer?
Actually one of my closest friends is a master archer. Her name is Northern Glow and I can not remember her ever missing her target. Her family had the ability to alter light so that it created a weapon. Though it certainly helped with her aim, She is still just as skilled with a regular bow.
At the academy we where considered trouble makers and they where certainly not wrong. Being stuck in such a strict environment had somewhat caused us to want to incite chaos. I was completely shocked when she told me that she was becoming a instructor. Though, I am pretty certain it is mostly so she can continue to mess with the other trainers.
At the academy, we where all required to learn how to use a bow as well as a melee weapon, and if we wanted to, another form of ranged weapon. Though I know how to use both bows and javelins, I am not really that great with ranged weapons.
And with how the waitress is looking at Swiftblaze, I am thinking we should probably leave...
(Whoo! I figured that I would play around with expressions with this one! Thank you very much for the ask and follow! )
How many weird pony like creatures have you seen before?
I have encountered quite a few strange beings, though mostly hybrids or ponies with very strange abilities
Though through out my encounters the more remembered ones would have to be with the skin walker [ It had taken the skin of a foal and when I went to pick it up to take it out of the ruins of a town and it tried to skin me alive.] , the moth creature[ It was intelligent and harmless, but it certainly scared the townsfolk.], a few ghouls[ they lived in this large cave and where attacking ponies in the surrounding towns.], and these seemingly immortal twins[They where not the problem so much as the creatures that seemed to appear around them. We barely survived the encounter.]
So how about you, Swiftblaze, seeing as you would like to contribute.
Swiftblaze: Well other than encountering those summoner twins, or whatever the heck they are, I did have ta deal with a rather agitated hippocampi. But, I will save the details for another time.
(Thank you very much for the ask and follow! As well as another chance to draw more strange creatures! This was a pretty fun ask to put together! )
Form Phase: “Hypothetical question: if you met somepony whose special talent was shape-shifting, would you accuse them of being a changeling? .>
Though I am not that educated in the magical fields, That is more so my brother`s specialty, I have seen stranger uses of magic. So I do not see shape-shifting being a particularly suspicious special talent….
I was not in the area during the changeling invasion, and I only had a brief encounter with one in the past… Though Ashensky and Pagedancer lives in Canterlot and had much more experience with the creatures. From what Pagedancer said, that invasion seemed to be more out of desperation rather than anything else… So even though they are banished from Equestria, I probably would not turn one in if they genuinely did not intend any harm.
(Whoo! This took a bit longer than intended, and I went a bit over with what was originally meant to be a simple background… Either way, Thank you very much for both the question and follow!)
I would like to announce that I have my computer built! So the water colored drawings will be replaced with digital ones.
Well, I am always on the road and do not necessarily own a house to watch shows in... Though when I visit with my brother, my niece and nephew occasionally ask me to watch a couple cartoons with them. They say I am much like Sucker-Punch, the lollipop warrior. They are from this rather silly little show called the sugar soldiers.
(Heyo! I am very sorry for the wait and somewhat sloppy painting.. I had injured one of my fingers at work and it made controlling the paintbrush rather difficult.... Anyway, thank you fur the ask and follow! )
Hello, Dark Storm, my name is Fadingstar. I help to protect others from criminals and other creatures that wish to do harm.
(Hello! Thank you for the follow and the introduction! I am fairly sure I had gotten the right character. If I did not or I messed up something, please tell me so I can fix it. :) )
Greetings, and it is nice to meet you as well! And as for my favorite dinosaur; I am rather fond of the Ankylosaurus.
*Pagedancer perks up at the mention of dinosaurs, very interested in adding her own answer.*Oh! I love the Elasmosaurus! Though, I like almost every kind of Plesiosauria, seeing as they where the great hunters of the sea and most likely the ancestors of the sea serpents of today! In my mind, they also represent both the mystery of the past and the mystery of the ocean!
(And thank you for the follow back and ask! I used to be a big dinosaur fan as a kid, literally every book I read was either about dinosaurs or other forms of zoology! I also tended to watch more animal planet than cartoons as a kid. This ask really brought back fond little kid memories! Thanks again!)
