Daily Sugar Belle #20

So for the ponies that join the Our Town, how much thought did they put into losing their cutie marks? You think some of them just jump right into this like “Oh I just lose my cutie marks? Let’s do it.” Or some them were like “Gimme some time to think about.” They went home, play with the idea, and came back willing to do this.

Day 31 of #repostober

What makes a pony to become markless?

Gerenuk Daily 8/31

I thought about a forward facing view but gerenuks’ head are really triangular looking from that angle. So just a ¼ view for now. Working on decorating the gerenuk now.

Day 29 of #repostober

I like these gerenuk drawings. I thought I would done more.

Drawn for TAPE server May raffle. The theme was road vehicle. I’m not a car person so I just took this theme into a silly direction.

Ka-Chow

Pony sketchbook: pg 30

#throwbackthursday to Nov 2013. Inspired by real life. I came home from college for Thanksgiving break and discovered a whole bunch of dead wasps in my bedroom. No one in my family realized this beforehand. I tried sleeping in that room that night but I was paranoid and I was hearing buzzing. But don’t think we found any live wasps and my mother just vacuum up all the dead wasps. We still don’t know where these wasps came from.

Day 27 of #repostober

Reblogging a reblog.

Wanna start a new series revolving around Tempest Shadow, this color scheme, beachwear, and the idea of vacation.

Oops. Fell behind on #repostober which is weird cuz it's just old art. So I'm just gonna repost throughout the day to catch up.

Shoeunit’s Top Ten Games that I Played in 2017

1: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Switch)

Mood music: Main Theme (Live) by Manaka Kataoka and Yasuaki Iwata

The moment I decided to make Breath of the Wild my game of the year was when I was listening to Giantbomb discussed what games have the best music of 2017. BotW didn’t make Giantbomb’s top 3 for that category but when they play some samples of it, I was hit with strong emotions. BotW music made me feel… nostalgic for when I started exploring Hyrule. I mentioned this before but I love open-world game and there something wonderful about BotW Hyrule. It got a somber atmosphere because it is sort of a post-apocalypse world. There are ruins, monsters, and remains of scary robots scattered about. And yet the scenery is beautiful and you go to beautiful locations. Hyrule is huge with snowy mountain, desert, volcano, tropic, etc. It is a lot of work and time to simply travel but it feels like meaningful discovery. Especially with towers where you can climb up high and see vast swaths of lands. Towers are perfect for spotting shrines, puzzle rooms scattered around Hyrule. Despite being so huge, Hyrule can also feel intimate. You’ll recognize people. Citizens in villages are named characters with their own identity. You might see the same meat seller or the same troublesome truffle hunters at different locations. You can tell if someone is far from their hometown. Those details are enough to make this huge world feels like that it is composed of connected parts.

Just also want to express an unpopular opinion. I like the durable aspect of weapons: weapons can be destroyed after certain amount of usage. It is another thing to manage but I like how it forces me to use a variety of weapons and I like how I become aware of where to find certain weapons.

As for my drawing, cooking is a wonderful activity in BotW. It is another way to problem-solve by producing dishes or potions that can power yourself in certain ways. There is also a fun jingle with it. Also in the drawing, Applejack is sporting one of my favorite clothing gears, the Sheikah set. I painted my orange as a homage to Naruto.

Day 25 of #repostober

Dang, I really do love talking about video games.

Playing with a dying ink brush pen and some crayons. The ink looks really rough until I wetted the ink background. I like how bright the crayon looks against the ink wash. I don’t know if this is actually something though.

Day 24 of #repostober

Yeah, I think this is something.

Day 23 of #repostober

I think they're a cute couple.

Lightning Dust is a very responsible pony and have no recollection of out-of-control tornado or child endangerment. 

Day 22 of #repostober

You know I based this outfit off a wrestler.

For the TAPE discord raffle. Theme was cafe so I drew on my experiences studying at Starbucks. I love my green tea iced latte. 

Day 21 of #repostober

Don't know why but there is something about this friendship that have potential.

Went to fancy cabin with with some friends. The decoration inspired me to draw a metal deer. My friends think it’s neat (and somewhat menacing).

Day 20 of #repostober

I do my best to take inspiration from other.

Shoelace showing off the latest fashion: goopy hoodie and flooded eyes.

Day 19 of #repostober

I am proud that this is just 3 colored pencils. And also proud of the weirdness.

My micron ink pen broke so I went back to basic with good old-fashioned graphite. So more Fleetfoot in activewear.

Day 17 of #repostober

Pony in clothes is fun.

Last of my line notebook drawing. I’m feeling pretty good that I don’t have to overthink these stuff. This drawing took around 30 mins but I felt like I produced something compelling. 

Day 17 of #repostober

I like how you can see some undersketch by the back leg.

Inktober 2018 Day 10: Flowing

Day 16 of #repostober

I surprised myself when I draw people.
