    I got ART!

    I know I haven't done a blog in awhile, but being a full-time single parent working a full-time job, and a part-time writer tends to really chew into the hours I have in a week. That said, I just had to carve out a little time to show off the remarkable gift I was given from Lady Lightning Strike by way of the amazingly talented artist Pridark.

    Commissions!

    Yeah, been awhile since I've written any sort of blog post, but I do have some good news. I'm re-opening to commissions! My patrons on Patreon will get priority for their commissions first, but it doesn't mean that everyone else can't ask for some stories either. Here are my commission conditions:

    So... a small heads up about the upcoming month...

    I'm about to start writing the final chapter or two of the Brightly Lit saga, after which time I'm actually going to be going on vacation for a week. As in actual time off from my job and all other responsibilities. Which means no Twilight Learned this month, and perhaps not next month either as I reassess things in the wake of the end of writing roughly 350,000 words on one pair of stories set

    So... a bit of a heads up

    Over the past few years I've engaged in a practice of letting my patrons on Patreon decide what story I should update following the Brightly Lit update in the month, and I've noticed a bit of a pattern. Mainly that anytime "How Twilight Learned" comes up in the voting it easily wins. So recently I asked my patrons if they would like me to just concentrate on Brightly Lit and HTL until one of

    State of the Pen

    It's been 10 days since my brother died and 6 since we laid him to rest at the foot of a willow tree near a shady stream. I find myself both functional and numb. I can act, react, and do things, but anything beyond the basics is like trying to push fog with your hands. Something happens but not much. I find myself staring at a computer screen and feeling... nothing.

ART! I HAZ ART! · 11:27pm Feb 26th, 2018

Ha!

Yes, after over a year and several false starts I finally, finally have proper art for The Bridle Path. As most of you know, that story was the very first story I wrote, not only here on FimFiction, but in general. Despite its errors and flaws, it still holds a very warm place in my heart and it always does me good to see a notification about it cross through my alerts.

I'd given up trying to find an artist after I had more than one back out of the project. Not so, my good friend Damaged who managed to snag the extraordinary Gab0o0 to the project. Gab0o0 not only plunged into the project whole hog, but regularly contacted me with updates and requests for feedback and suggestions.

His skill and professionalism saw the project through to a wonderful conclusion and it saddens me that the best recommendation I can think of to give him is "10/10, would have you art again!" Without further ado, I present to you the cover art for The Bridle Path.

You can find Gab0o0 on his:

Thank you, good sir. Down the road I hope to hire you for other projects.


EDIT: ACK! Forgot something. If you want to see the in-progress sketches, you can look at them here on an Imgur Album I made.

Looks amazing!

Funky I loved that story so much and still do!
That art is on point!!!!

:heart:

I feel proud for you just looking at that and remembering what you wrote.

Keep it up, you're awesome!

Your first? No way! Are you messing with me?

I'm not saying that to be a jerk, it's just, it's too well-written to be a first story.

Ya, it was my first. Other than a paragraph here and there, and one story about an avenging mermaid I got halfway through. Blame it on 30 years of running D&D campaigns :twilightsheepish:

Ah, Rarity. Such a chaotically capable damsel in distress. Just as likely to save herself as to faint.

Oh, that's perfect. :pinkiehappy:
