    You know the one.


    A sheaf of papers, prefaced with a short letter, all written in a sturdy, simple hand.

    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.

All the art · 1:19pm Jun 7th, 2017

Hey team,

I’ve been managing to keep to a weekly (mostly!) posting schedule for The World is Filled with Monsters, and some readers have noticed that the cover art keeps changing. That’s by design – I have a bunch of title cards for the main characters, and there’s more on the way.

Some folks have also asked for permanent links to all of the art. All my art can be found on my DA page, but I figured it was worth a blog post as well.

But first, let’s try the nifty new embed feature:

TThe World is Filled with Monsters
Vermilion didn’t join the Guard to be a hero – he just wanted to escape his old, boring life. But after everything goes wrong at the small town of Hollow Shades, Vermilion finds himself in the service of a dark princess, with all the world at stake.

Seems to work. Okay, then, the art:

Awesome. Also, Imgur links are back?

Did you draw all these? They’re awesome!

If you use their embedding script, yes. I guess they don’t mind being an image hosting site as long as they get to dictate the frame, link, etc.

4563108

Yes, and thank you!

You don’t need to embed with the frame. Ordinary [img] will work fine. Has done for months because we proxy them.

Gorgeous work as always!

Nice pics, you Renaissance pony you.

(looks at Rose Quartz)

Is this a Steven Universe crossover? I’m going to guess ‘no’.

Nice pics. Just a couple minor issues:
1. Where’s Quicklime’s cutie mark?
2. You might want to have Rose Quartz’s orientation the same in all pics. The current set switches which eye is her good eye.

This doesn’t look like Overwatch. I am disappoint.

Wait you drew all of these??? I thought you must’ve commissioned them from someone! I had no idea you were also a great artist. These are very good!

4563155

Ah! But if I did that, I wouldn’t be using the nifty feature you just added, would I?

Yeah, it’d be using the much better method of “let’s not waste a ton of resources to render an image in an iframe” 😏

Thank you for putting this together. I admit, I greatly envy your ability to create such incredible text and images.

Great art!! What program did you use?

Huh...

I think I broke something in my browser (FF): no images are showing up for me below the story embed (aside from the text title labels). A quick shufti through the dev console shows that Vermillion’s image embed link thingamunjie (to pick one example) points to “//imgur.com/MSh19” which gives a nice fat 404...
:derpyderp2:

Oh, hey! I hadn’t seen Quicklime or Canopy before.

I remain impressed.

Very lovely artwork, do you do commissions? Or am I misunderstanding.. Is this your art or someone elses? Not trying to be insulting, it’s just very hard to keep up with all the wonderful artists out there. Please PM me if they are yours and you take commissions :)

These are all by me, yes. I don’t take commissions, but I sometimes take requests. Send me a PM if you’re interested.
