Good evening!
Oh, late or no thank y...@<a href="#c1712954520718833238" rel="nofollow">Legion2190</a><br /><br />Good evening!<br /><br />Oh, late or no thank you so very much for coming onto my blog to post and to leave me such a lovely little bit of feedback... it really is so incredibly kind of you to say! I'm truly happy to hear that you enjoyed the picture so much, and yes as one who frequents EqD myself I realize what incredibly high praise that is to list my artwork as one of your top favorites... this fandom really has been blessed with a surplus of very talented artists.<br /><br />Once again, I'm only glad to hear that you like the picture... being able to potentially brighten a person's day with my artwork is one of the biggest reasons that I make it, to be honest. I genuinely appreciate the words, and once again thanks so much for taking the time to post~!WhiteDiamondshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15330881754157567212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1815265967021708537.post-17129545207188332382012-03-11T19:39:48.623-07:002012-03-11T19:39:48.623-07:00Hooray for commenting on a two-month old post!
An...Hooray for commenting on a two-month old post!<br /><br />Anyways... I've had your Fluttershy/RD painting as my background since you first published it... it's beautiful. Seriously. Just absolutely stunning. This is currently tied for my favorite piece of fanart ever, which is saying a lot considering how much time I spend on EQD and /r/mylittlepony. So I just wanted to go back and thank you for putting out this incredible piece of work. I mean... wow.Legion2190https://www.blogger.com/profile/17714753945315316070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1815265967021708537.post-12194429548689967362012-01-17T18:11:57.076-08:002012-01-17T18:11:57.076-08:00Oh dear, here I am responding to this almost a wee...Oh dear, here I am responding to this almost a week later! Bad Diamonds, bad! TT_TT My apologies, Jody-dear~<br /><br />@<a href="#c3971477021772493184" rel="nofollow">jodyjm13</a><br /><br />Now that you mentioned it, I suppose I have wondered about Fluttershy's parent's the least... I wonder why that may be. And I wouldn't mind seeing Rainbow's either, if only to put to rest all of those angsty-emo orphan fanfictions on her fillyhood that I seem to stumble across all over the place. And I don't even <i>read</i> all that much fanfiction...<br /><br />And oh my, that daydream... I hope you don't mind my saying so but now I'm picturing you as one of the cutest little bookworm-children ever. ^.^ And it really does make sense to me that that would be the case, both for the bibliophilism as well as for other things I've seen you mention before. Again, I just had a pretty good inkling that she must be your favorite... it's nice to know I guessed correctly. ^_~WhiteDiamondshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15330881754157567212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1815265967021708537.post-39714770217724931842012-01-12T21:30:58.554-08:002012-01-12T21:30:58.554-08:00@Harwick
As you predicted, "Family Appreciat...@<a href="#c8237541277887382169" rel="nofollow">Harwick</a><br /><br />As you predicted, "Family Appreciation Day" completely avoided any reference to Applejack's parents. From what Lauren Faust has written, it sounds like the writers and producers are leaning towards the explanation that they have, indeed, "passed away", but there's no way they'd be able to address that on the show itself. So there's always a chance someone will come up with a great story that requires AJ's parents, and they'll find a way to explain their prolonged absence...<br /><br />Oddly, I'm not terribly curious about Fluttershy's family, though it would be nice to see them sometime. I am desperately curious about Rainbow Dash's family and childhood, though; there've been a couple of hints that she was something of a problem filly, and I really want to know the full story.<br /><br />As for conventions, I've been to exactly one Comicon, way back in '98 when it was considerably smaller and less movie-and-tv-centric. I've also been to several furry and anime conventions a while back, though only one in the past 10 years. I do <i>not</i> do well in crowds, but in general I've enjoyed the cons I've been to; if you have any specific questions or want more info on my experiences, I'll do my best to help out.<br /><br />@<a href="#c4871482611441834296" rel="nofollow">WhiteDiamonds</a><br /><br />As a child, I would sometimes daydream about being locked in the local library overnight and having a chance to read all the books I wanted all night long; how could Twilight Sparkle <i>not</i> be my favorite? ;) They're all such wonderfully appealing characters, though, that I'm usually not comfortable singling one out.jodyjm13https://www.blogger.com/profile/08299320190887654054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1815265967021708537.post-48714826114418342962012-01-08T23:50:12.935-08:002012-01-08T23:50:12.935-08:00@jodyjm13

Sometimes I have trouble keeping up with all of them myself, though the past several days seem to have slowed considerably now that I think about it (on that note, I have noticed a conspicuous of Anon recently. I do hope he's alright, wherever he is).<br /><br />But anyhow yes, that's about how it goes for me too, for better or for worse. It's too hard to rank them all. Somehow though, as with Harwick I always had an inkling that Twilight was your favorite, even though I don't believe I've ever read your explicitly stating that. Intuition, I suppose. ^_~<br /><br />@<a href="#c8237541277887382169" rel="nofollow">Harwick</a><br /><br />Well, I suppose that's all true enough, and honestly if I was able to set my own schedule entirely I expect that I would give myself similar hours. Once I get into a project or task, after all, I generally find it's easier to keep going as opposed when I'm constantly stopping and starting and being distracted by other things, so yes it makes sense.<br /><br />And ahh yes Bronycon; the place to be or so I've heard! In answer to your question I have been to only one convention before in my life: Comicon several years ago. I was friends at the time with someone who got passes every year and he was kind enough to share one with me... it was fun even though it was only for a relatively short time and despite the fact that I don't know very much about comic books or most of the series that were evidently popular there. I think my favorite part of the experience was seeing all of the different fans in costume; I've never cosplayed before myself but I think, if I could ever find the time to create the outfit and attend a convention in turn, I would very much enjoy doing so. ^.^WhiteDiamondshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15330881754157567212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1815265967021708537.post-82375412778873821692012-01-06T14:40:59.733-08:002012-01-06T14:40:59.733-08:00@BND

Science may say that ponies can't blush, but since doing so makes them unarguably cuter I choose to reject the data and just believe. Besides, I'm already going along with them talking, flying, building complex societies... <br /><br />I do wonder if we'll ever see more of Pinkie's family in the show. She's the only one that we know has siblings who aren't recurring cast members. Dash and Fluttershy's families now rank as the most mysterious. <br /><br />Minus, of course, the mystery of what happened to AJ's parents which still bugs me. They've been missing since she was a little filly, and yet somehow Apple Bloom showed up years later... I don't suppose we'll get any better answer from tomorrow's episode, as it sounded like the crew making the show never worked out where they're at themselves.<br /><br /><br />@<a href="#c8080801610542318426" rel="nofollow">WhiteDiamonds</a><br />Oh, don't be too impressed by my work schedule. It's easy to pile on the hours when you have no commute and set your own schedule. I'll be working this weekend, but that's mostly because after my holiday vacation I'm finding it very hard to get back into a fully productive groove. (It doesn't help that I'm so many days out from the deadline, even though I know I need those days. I find pressure to be too good of a motivator.)<br /><br /><br /><br />So the big (well, relatively) BroNYcon thing is this weekend, apparently. Has anyone here ever been to a fan convention before? I've been tempted to visit the San Diego Comicon before, but never really made it. I'm honestly not sure if I'd enjoy such a thing or not. I've been to E3 in Los Angeles before for work, but that was mostly meetings and such with some time wandering the convention center in-between. I'm kind of curious to hear from someone who has attended these kinds of things as a fan.AJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17855976959286840085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1815265967021708537.post-81700719777309811082012-01-05T22:15:37.909-08:002012-01-05T22:15:37.909-08:00I really need to learn to check back every couple ...I really need to learn to check back every couple of days, at most, to avoid falling this far behind again...<br /><br />@<a href="#c6332321938030334457" rel="nofollow">Anon</a><br /><br />I'm a teetotaler as well, just as a personal choice rather than any deep moral conviction or anything.<br /><br />@<a href="#c5777418619214069788" rel="nofollow">BND</a><br /><br />Thanks for sharing your art; both Blinkie and Fluttershy look cute.

Taking into account the mane 6, the princesses, Derpy, and my three favorite non-ponies (Spike, Discord, and Zecora), if I peg Twilight at 100 out of 100, the other would generally score somewhere between 98 and 91, which makes for a rather crowded group to try to rank in order...<br /><br />@<a href="#c327004507864586312" rel="nofollow">Anon</a><br /><br />I don't really want to go into what happened in the comments on EqD yesterday (largely because I'd also have to go over what happened over a month ago for proper context), but no one else here needs to worry about whether they might be at fault.<br /><br />DJB123, if you're still bothering to read these comments, I just want to say that I'm still sincerely hoping for the best for you.jodyjm13https://www.blogger.com/profile/08299320190887654054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1815265967021708537.post-62878446233920057772012-01-05T14:52:54.838-08:002012-01-05T14:52:54.838-08:00@Anon

But yes, I really was terrifically excited; I don't seem to have much opportunity for commenting in Drawfriends or on EqD in general these days, I suppose because much of the free time in which I used to do so is now devoted to managing this blog (not that that is necessarily a bad thing, but it does take time). But yes...<br /><br />I know what you mean about the younger relatives; I have a great deal of nieces and nephews myself, and even a couple of grand-nephews at this point. They're fun for a while, but I know I am <i>assuredly</i> not ready to be a mother at this point in my life, if indeed I ever will be.<br /><br />Now why didn't I think of cheating in a similar fashion on that poll?

(I'm always happy to see you pop up in the Drawfriend, either as a contributing artist or a commenter.) I tend to work pretty grueling schedules myself, although I set my own hours. Honest days off, where I don't have anything hanging over my head that I should be doing sometimes come weeks apart and I often squander them doing absolutely nothing just because I finally can. I usually need a few days off in a row before I can become productive on my own projects again, or turn to a hobby. <br /><br />I had a pretty lengthy vacation for the holidays, but it was with a full house of extended relatives who finally cleared out this last weekend, so I was somewhat shell-shocked from them alone. (5 and 6 year old nephews and cousins are exhausting. However, I would never have seen the cartoon without them, so there is that to thank them for. Many pony episodes were viewed when I was called upon to watch over the little ones.)<br /><br />I ended up cheating on the 5 favorite pony poll anyway. After Twilight and Rarity, I put all of the rest of the mane six in spot #3, on the grounds that I couldn't put any other ponies above them and I loved them all too much to leave one off as #6. I then finished off the rest of the list with Celestia and Sweetie Belle and added some "honorable mentions" as well. I'm not good at cutting them down to a select few.AJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17855976959286840085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1815265967021708537.post-60289613384796454682012-01-03T21:07:29.640-08:002012-01-03T21:07:29.640-08:00@Harwick

Your guess is as good as mine..).<br /><br />In any case, yes, I will agree that I've developed something of a soft spot for Applejack's accent as well as time has gone on... there's something about that country vernacular of hers that is just so... charming I suppose. I think that's actually part of the reason that I was largely rooting for Laura on this past season of <i>America's Next Top Model</i>... that accent combined with her bubbly personality was just way too endearing.<br /><br />And yes, perhaps that is why I assumed that Twilight was your favorite... I hadn't thought about that until you mentioned it but it does make sense. Also, I saw that post on EqD but thought better of offering my two cents on the topic... after Rarity and Applejack, best/favorite pony tends to get a little fuzzy for me. I like a lot of them quite a bit but my "ranking" tends to vary depending on the day and my mood, so it's hard for me to say... they're all quite charming in their own way though.WhiteDiamondshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15330881754157567212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1815265967021708537.post-17061891350593999882012-01-03T20:18:19.271-08:002012-01-03T20:18:19.271-08:00Happy New Year everyone, and congrats on the day o...Happy New Year everyone, and congrats on the day off to our host. The post-holiday grind restarts for me tomorrow, assuming the client gets things together in on schedule. If I'm left twiddling my thumbs all day, I might actually find the time to start some new pony art.<br /><br />Personally, I like Applejack because she is such a great supporting character. She's the ideal second-in-command, and I've noted before that she's usually the first one Twilight goes to for help (and vice-versa). You can drop her in any pony's story and she doesn't have a lot of baggage that makes it hard to find an angle where she'll be useful. Add in the accent and her unique lines and she's just a welcome addition at any point.<br /><br /><br />@<a href="#c6223689686644687477" rel="nofollow">WhiteDiamonds</a><br /><br />Looking over things, I guess I have drawn Twilight far more than the others, including both young and old versions... so I suppose the evidence of my fondness for her was there. In any event, she and Rarity took the top spots on my answer to the "5 favorite ponies" poll over on EQD.AJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17855976959286840085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1815265967021708537.post-23627463451710982642012-01-03T20:07:23.505-08:002012-01-03T20:07:23.505-08:00@DJB123

Mostly I just want you to be safe in whatever it is that you do, so I'm happy to hear that that is the case.<br /><br />And you know, I was actually thinking about this further yesterday when I was getting ready for work.

Far too few people in this world seem to possess that quality, and it's a shame.<br /><br />@<a href="#c5777418619214069788" rel="nofollow">BND</a><br /><br />Haha that's quite alright. ^.^ Certainly never feel obligated my dear. And Happy (late) New Year to you as well!<br /><br />And ooh, I'm glad that you said something because, as I had indeed predicted, I totally forgot about keeping an eye on your gallery! You really are very good for someone who is so new at drawing... looking at your picture, I don't see anything in the proportions or anything that seem off, other than <i>maybe</i> the front legs being a little thin at the top but it's a minor issue, hardly noticeable. Other than that it's very nice and clean, looking good!<br /><br />I will say I'm a bit surprised at the subject matter though, considering that you've told me you're such an avid Rarishy shipper. ^_~ But in any case, thanks for sharing!WhiteDiamondshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15330881754157567212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1815265967021708537.post-32176238512324797252012-01-02T23:24:39.687-08:002012-01-02T23:24:39.687-08:00@BND

Again, some issues with the body proportions, but nothing too serious. Perhaps you could try a background sometime soon?<br /><br />And oh yes: Happy New Year to you too, mate~!CaineScrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09256204657160164319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1815265967021708537.post-57774186192140697882012-01-02T21:45:50.741-08:002012-01-02T21:45:50.741-08:00I feel like I should comment here more often.

H...I feel like I should comment here more often.

I really love that pony and I'm not even entirely sure why, but I guess I just find her personality refreshing somehow. It's funny to think about.<br /><br />And I appreciate that my dear, really I do, but it's not like I'm going to just leave everyone hanging when they write to me either... that would be exceedingly rude of me. Especially as this is my blog! But again, I appreciate your understanding... sometimes it is hard to juggle all these replies along with everything else that's going on in my life.<br /><br />And you are young, so I feel as though I can get away with saying this even though I only know you online: please do take care of yourself and drink responsibly! I've known far too many people (including some of my nieces) who have gotten in big trouble and had some serious scares because of alcohol and other substances... do take care.<br /><br />@<a href="#c6912419394073179615" rel="nofollow">Anon</a><br /><br />That was beautifully stated dear, and I thank you so very much for sharing your thoughts with us, as I still find it immensely flattering and inspiring to think that I may have had anything to do with your discovering these new interests and passions in your life. That's why I love to create things... I enjoy the process and the results myself, but it's only when others get something out of my work as well that I really feel any sort of gratification. Here's hoping you will continue to grow and be inspired in your new artistic pursuits! ^_^<br /><br />@<a href="#c98069453871734977" rel="nofollow">CaineScroll</a><br /><br />Oh it's quite alright, really. I was advised to avoid caffeine as it's a stimulant, not alcohol which is a depressant. Red wine is actually known for helping to lower blood pressure as well, if you don't know. So yes, while I appreciate your concern I am a big girl, I can take care of myself. No worries!<br /><br />And Chinese New Year... I celebrated that a few years in a row, with friends I'd made in college. It was a lot of fun, I miss it!<br /><br />@<a href="#c6225734219571711577" rel="nofollow">DJB123</a><br /><br />Yes, I'm a bit of a lightweight myself (both literally and figuratively) so it doesn't take much to get me tipsy, I'll confess. As I said I don't really drink all that often though, so...<br /><br />I just hope you stay safe, dear, is all!WhiteDiamondshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15330881754157567212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1815265967021708537.post-63323219380303344572012-01-01T08:51:02.882-08:002012-01-01T08:51:02.882-08:00Wow, does everyone here drink except me?

When you move an America-sized distance away from your family, it gets pretty quiet around here. At least there are no pictures of lampshades on Facebook, right?<br /><br />Though, if this stands to prove anything, then alcohol is how Equestria was made and Pinkie had tasted something prior to the gathering in Cutie Mark Chronicles...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1815265967021708537.post-63120222493045235382012-01-01T07:57:58.352-08:002012-01-01T07:57:58.352-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Favohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13659911296132032331noreply@blogger.com
