    A new project, and an explanation!

    Hey folks,

    Alternate title for this blog post: I'm Doing a Thing (and I'm looking for help)

    I don't think anyone is surprised that my pony writing has been on a bit of a hiatus for a while, and my presence on this site is mostly to lurk-and-read rather than finish my long-delayed stories. What you might not know, though, is what I've been doing instead of pony writing.

Apropos of nothing · 9:56am Nov 14th, 2016

Sometimes I need to take a break from writing, and I can't ignore the siren-call of my Intuos graphics tablet. So, because it rained here on Sunday, have a portrait of Sly, from The Wind Thief:

That is all.

Wait, that was Sly? What about the old pic you have in your dA account?

It's been four years, man. I've learned to draw a bit better since then.

I really, really like how you've drawn the muzzle fade into the forehead and around the eyes. Gives the face a lot of depth. The eyes and horn are also spectacular.

That being said, I think the nostril's in a weird place.

Somepony needs a bunch of adorable freckles licked just to be extra-careful that one of them isn't a mistakenly-unclean spot of grape jelly. :rainbowwild:

I hadn't actually realized that Not-Trixie is piebald.

... I think piebald is the right term? Piebald usually demands a white base with spots but we don't have horses with blue coats here in the real world.

Beautiful work - I love the eyes and face. The horn, though, seems a bit off-center to me.

One day I'll learn how to draw hair. Today is not that day. Today is the day I say "CiG knows how to draw hair". This looks lovely.

Oh wow, holy crap, you've become one hell of an artist.

Blueberry Pie-bald! :pinkiehappy:

4302088 I hate you so much I'm afraid it might be love.

Basically you needed to interrupt your doing awesome art by doing awesome art.

Seems legit.

Half-Life 3 Wind Thief sequel confirmed ?

What was the name again ? In the City of Light and Shadows, or something like that ?

Your drawing skills are now rivaling your writing skills, and that's not a low bar to hurdle! And I think you did a great job on the mane!

Wow, the finished version is even cooler. :twilightsmile:

Every time I see your art or read your stories, I am reminded of Khan from that one bit in the second new Star Trek film.

4301679 a bit my ass. This is a great drawing.

I stopped being artistic the moment I stopped playing music. Keep it up.

What dark deal did you make, that you can write AND draw?! Did you bribe the GM during character creation?! :rainbowlaugh:

Look at all those adorable spots! :pinkiehappy:

Oh dear, I hope it's nothing contagious?

Huh. Kind of funny that I found out about it from stalking you over on DA before I checked my notification feed here.

:pinkiegasp:Does this mean we might be getting that Sequel to The Wind Thief. Please say it does. I really liked it.:twilightsheepish:
