Hi guys! It's been way too long since I poked my nose in this neck of the woods. Some of you may know that I had some crazy life changes in the last couple of years. I left my jobs, had a big move across the country, ended up getting a much overdue divorce, started a new relationship with my best friend, got pregnant, left my job and moved back across the country again. My pregnancy ended up being super high risk and I was hospitalized at 31 weeks. My daughter was born a month early and has down syndrome and has had two surgeries (one intestional at 2 days old and open heart last month), but she's 5 months old and freaking awesome. She's doing well and I'm finally settling into a new routine. During our extensive hospital stays, I started drawing again! I got an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil for an early Christmas gift when I was initially admitted to the hospital and I'm finally making digital art that I'm proud of!
I'm going to try to poke around and be more active now that I have a few minutes to myself every now and then. But I thought I'd start by sharing my most recent creations! The first two were for a contest, which ended yesterday.
This is the one and only piece I've made with colored linework, which was interesting. It kept me busy and distracted while my daughter was having her heart surgery. The other is more my usual style. I've played around with my ponies a lot since I started drawing them more in 2009 and I've gone from very G1-inspired to various cartoony versions to more horsey. I'm finally at a point where I really like the final outcomes.
The pony is Whisper, who is owned by Whisper Fillies.
