    Cadance of Cloudsdale (so far) now in Spanish!

    Thanks to the generous SPANIARD KIWI, the text of Cadance of Cloudsdale so far is now in Spanish! Mr. Kiwi has done a tremendous amount of work translating many of my stories into Spanish, but this goes above and beyond. If you're curious, you may visit the project so far here at this

    Happy Cadance Day 2024!

    Things feel a bit subdued today, due to the coincidence of Valentine's Day and Ash Wednesday through a quirk of the liturgical calendar. It is somewhat difficult to juxtapose the splash of corporate-encouraged love with the festival that literally exists to remind us of our mortality. The pink of Valentine's washes against the purple of Lent. So I'm in a pensive mood, more so than usual on this

    Ciderfest is a wrap!

    Just got home from PVCF and it was an amazing con experience! The minific-based ARG that circulated around the con the whole weekend was high-concept, and I was worried about engagement, but everyone seemed to really get into searching out the hard-to-find stories concealed around the convention hall (in places as obscure as "the desktop wallpaper on one of the monitors in the video game room,

Do you like unicorns? · 8:35pm Jun 23rd, 2014

The answer is more likely to be "yes" given the sample I am speaking to! If you answered "yes" to this question, you may already be familiar with "Heavenly Nostrils," by Dana Simpson. If you are familiar with this comic strip, you may be interested to see li'l old Skywriter, as drawn by the artist of that strip. And if you are interested in such a thing, you may view it below:

Cool, ain't it? This is courtesy of Ms. Simpson and my good friend Shaenon Garrity who gave it to me as a going-away (temporarily!) present as she leaves "Skin Horse" entirely in my hands for a few weeks while she goes off to have a baby. Best wishes to the new family, Shaenon.

Notes:
1. The top half of this post reads like a flowchart.
2. Despite the title of this post, it contains no actual unicorns.

Despite the title of this post, it contains no actual unicorns.

I feel so betrayed...

Swank picture though. :rainbowkiss:

Classy. And from an awesome artist no less.

I really need to get back into Skin Horse. I lost track of my webcomics for a while, and that one's definitely due for an archive binge.

Very nice! It's no unicorn, because, well... Unicorn!. But it is still a great portrait from a talented comic creator!

You lack of Unicron disturbs me

I am overcome with envy and deeply disappointed by the general absence of unicorns.
BLAART!:pinkiehappy:

I hope you have huge universe changing plans for your unsupervised control over Skin Horse. Also, wonderful picture.

Instructions unclear, unicorn stuck in fan.

This is amazing, and I'm jelly. It's not all bad though. Dana signed my bat wing at BABSCon and drew upon it a portrait of Marigold Heavenly Nostrils. Don't screw up Skin horse! :raritywink:

oh lawks i really hope not to

Marigold is indeed best Unicorn! And she has such an interesting color scheme. I believe that's the Crayola Marker scheme used there.
(I'm so jealous :)

"Skin Horse" entirely in my hands for a few weeks

:twilightoops:

That's awesome, Skywriter!

2229233
Yeah, that was kind of what I felt like.

2229239
It is, isn't it! (And don't worry, I also love very much the one you got for me, I just thought this might have a broad enough popular appeal to poke my followsphere about it. Plus, I had the image file. :twilightsmile:)

I like Unicorns.....

2229279

Oh, haha! Don't worry, I'm not jealous, eh. Though I will kill you in your sleep.

Seriously though, it's a lot of fun to get your OC done by several different artists-- and Dana is both awesome and apropos for this, eh!

2229349
Quite spiffy as well! And more appropriate for the title of the post!

In re: universe-changing... I'm not sure how canonical the hiatus storyline actually is, since (to actually give her, y'know, a break) I'm not running any of the scripts past her first. I don't think I'm breaking anything too badly, though. :pinkiehappy:

Heavenly Nostrils can't be boosted enough. It's a fantastic comic.

Good luck flying solo on Skin Horse. Pretty sure you'll do a great job! :twilightsmile:

I'm also due for a Skin Horse archive binge! I'm looking forward to it, I love those :rainbowlaugh:

2229684 Seconded. Also, her previous comic, Ozy & Millie. Top-notch.

2229488

Well, when Tip and Princess Cadence go on an epic shopping spree, we'll know who to blame...

HOLY CRAP BEST CROSSOVER.

2229723

It's one that I'd certainly enjoy reading...

--arcum42

I gotta catch up on Skin Horse. It's been too long since I stopped reading my webcomics. :facehoof:

Wish I'd never found out how crazy that artist is. Really killed their work for me, after having grown up on O&M.
