Ask The Trees

-[Closed]- Quite possibly permanently. I'm sorry to those who stuck with me, expecting more, but I'm honestly afraid to open SAI or get out my tablet anymore, and I'm anxious over simply hitting the bookmark to check Tumblr, so I've pretty much stopped checking. And I'm sorry for that, too. I thought I would get over it, that I would brush it off and move on. I did not. I'm sorry. And thank you. All those who were kind and encouraging, thank you. The blog will be kept open, as an archive of stuff I've done. People have said they liked some of my art, so I wouldn't take it away from them. [Always SFW] Home of Prok'lar'ush (Ooshy) the Zebracorn, Ta'o'nas (Tayo) the Pegasus Filly, and Riften (Yeah, just Riften) the Gryphon. I am bad at answering things~! So why is this an ask blog? Who knows! Feel free to ask me things and if I happen to draw something, that'll be great! Asks Closed.

Bit of a break from the usual answers for something I just had to do. A homage to the nicest chat I’ve had in ages. Hope you like it.

I refuse to describe the noises my exasperated self made as I finally got home and saw this... I refuse. ... This is one of my favorite arts ever! YOU are one of my favorite arts ever! Thank you, so freaking much for this... It's as sweet as could be, and half as sweet as you (god that sounds cheesy... It's true, though).

Tayo showing Firebloom how to give proper belly rubs, with Waffle as the subject.

A request by @askthetrees made back when the belly rubs were happening on this blog, and we ended up collaborating on finishing the piece! Features @ask-firebloom.

[Tayo]: “See? It’s not hard or scary to do, and it can be really fun, too! There’s nothing wrong with it, as long as he’s okay with it. Right, Waffle? ... Uh-... Waffle..?”

((I put some colors on it and scribbled on some layers to make something resembling shading. Also the “background”. Yay, I did things. Kinda))

[Tayo]: “Where’d you get YOUR~ name, then, bud? EH?!”

[Ooshy]: “Ahem… don’t mind her. She’s just a BIT defensive at times. To explain in a less… grouchy manner, it’s kinda a surname. Or at least mine n’ Tayo’s surname, passed to us from our parents, who were labeled as such because of their initial, uh-… “Hippie status”, I s’pose. A lot changed for them, but the name stuck, even in later years in the military, from almost bein’ an insult, to a friendly joke, to bein’ an honest name, associated with them n’ their family. As for Riften, well… he lived in the forest for a while, and tended to stick to the trees a lot for shelter, and was as respectful for nature as most hippies were, really, so I guess he’s an honorary tree. At least Tayo considers him part of the family. Though I still ain’t quite sure why, myself… I more or less understand.”

[Riften]: “You’re giving a fair and reasonable explanation on the history of your name to a guy who voluntarily goes by ‘Mushroom’… and I’m the weird one? You have issues…”

((Tayo needs a haircut. And a re-dye, by the looks… geez.))

Random coloration/ruination of a beautiful drawing by [Sherwood Whisper], which can be found here: [Link]

The art was done for Dilarus [This limey bugger] a while back and [Trevor Rain] suggested I color it, for practice/fun, during my awkward streaming experience.

Everyone’s over here, mining for floof, while poor Tayo is about to die of excitement and can only contain herself by holding onto Tri’s butt for dear life.

It’s a valid tactic in most situations.

“Space horse”? That sounds kinda cool…

((Continuing from this. Not exactly a lot of new information, but hey, it’s something. I mean, now we all know he’s not an alien (as far as he knows). That has to be super important right?

Messing around a bit with new facial expressions and such. I like it. Nothing crazy, but a change nonetheless. Especially for my very “static” and “trying to be show accurate” style.

[Tayo]: “DANG IT! I wanted aliens… it’s never aliens.”

[Ooshy]: “Why did ya even have me ask if YOU were gonna ask..? And would ya hush about Stargates already…”

[Tayo]: *mumbling* “Fine, but when he uses the gate to call in reinforcements and take over Equestria, I’ll be there to say ‘I told you so’… and to offer to be his personal cuddle toy. Cause I mean, witnessing an alien takeover AND having it literally be my JOB to get free cuddles for life? That’d be awesome.”

[Ooshy]: “… Kid, you need help.”

My favorite thing to do on Tumblr now is to make random gifs. :?

((Dear lord. All I can imagine is him saying “Meep. Meep.” over and over again. What have you done!?))
