I mean, they're just following the G4 playbook! Create dozens of named, interesting background characters, and then only release some of them, ever, often only in blindbag form. Hippogriffs got two toys, and it was a battle to even find them. Buffalos, griffons, dragons, breezies, changelings - you could rattle off so many important characters who had entire seasons devoted to them, and some of them never even got toys. Like, the entire last few seasons focused on the School of Friendship - we never got an Ocellus, a Yona, an Ember toy, and they were main characters! Make that make sense!

It feels like a continuing letdown with G5, because they are adding new species and characters SO early by comparison, and yet we are still stuck on the same Mane Six/core character release nonsense. I want more dragon toys! They clearly have the molds for them, so I don't see a lot of reason why they couldn't just release more colors of the same figure.

Ponyfan definitely not Bobby's world

Taffeta, I wouldn't be surprised if it was European or even UK production, the animation looked quite good either way, at least as I remember it. I have so few memories and info on it. I do know it didn't look anime.

I started making a cat-themed Mother's Day card for my mom.  (In Finland, Mother's Day is celebrated on May 12) The card is mostly blue (blue background and one of the cats) in color because it is her favorite. I tried some "tricks" with the salt. I'll see tomorrow if I managed to make any patterns on the card with it.

Thank you!

Speaking of, I finished the free ones I was doing and opened a shop

My complaint right now is I'm hot. It's cooler outside than it is in my apartment.

I've been doing these little sheep doodles on another site that has ponies. I was doing them for free, but a friend poked me and said I should open a shop (it would be for game currency) so I asked for a price check. A couple of people have been very rude in my thread. Saying that anyone can draw a blob or glowing line and get lots of the game currency for it. That people like me who aren't artists make REAL artists feel bad. Blah blah blah.

I wrote a reply back, but decided to delete it and just say to the one person maybe they aren't as good of an artist as they think.

I AM an artist. I just work mainly in 3D. Drawing digitally isn't something I'm great at but I think my little doodles are cute and people seem to like them.

Everyone else in the thread has been very supportive and gave me a good range of what to charge if I open a shop. I'm just feeling bummed people had to come in and say things like that. I mean, if you wouldn't pay that price, fine. Say that. Don't dis my me and doodles.

A sample of said doodles for those curious:

Your sheep are really cute! They made me smile. Keep making your art and forget about those stupid commenters!

(I still haven't published my own drawings anywhere but here on the forum, because I don't have enough courage to do so. I have received wonderful and nice comments here, thank you for them. )
