SwirlyWhirly: Play "Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning".  You will thank me. I consider it to be even better than Skyrim, and I have well over 500 hours in Skyrim, too.

Thanks for the tip, I'll definitely check that out. A chick image google looked promising. Just some questions if you have the time to answer?

Can it be played in both first and third person view?
Can I play a female character? It might be silly but I dislike having to play a male character in a game I put a lot of time into.

In the early 90s I had a couple of plastic cats (or were they dogs?) resembling the Little Pretty animals.

They looked like cats or dogs and had long brushable hair. The hair fell down on both sides of the body. The fur style looked kinda like that of a long haired Shih Tzu or Yorkshire Terrier. I had two big ones and two babies. At least one of them was pink. One might have been purple, or yellow? All were in a standing position, the big ones with heads facing left I think.

I've often wondered what brand they were. They always reminded me of My Little Ponies because of the similar colour theme and brushable hair. Maybe a Little Pretty knock-off? I think they looked much better than Little Pretty though, with the fur being over the body as opposed to just on the head and tail.

Anyone knows anything about these toys?

I'm playing two games right now. Fallout 4 and Divinity: Original Sin 2.

I have like 600 hours of Skyrim gameplay and wanted something similar. That game blew me away and I've loved exploring the massive world over several years time. I've read a lot of reviews about both fantasy and open world games and Fallout 4 and Divinity: Original Sin 2 got nice reviews and felt like games I could enjoy. So far Fallout 4 is ok (but not as good as Skyrim) but Divinity I'm having a hard time with because of the point and click setup. I hate that!

Any Skyrim fans here who knows of any games similar to it which I could try? It needs to be a massive open world which I can explore freely. Preferably beautiful fantasy. The Fallout 4 world was so depressing I had to download a mod to make make the trees and grass green to be able to stand looking at it.

It's raining and motivation is low today. I've got a list of household related things to do and working on art today feels like another of the have to do's. I have no inspiration whatsoever. I think I'll just focus on doing the bare minimum today. All the things I need to do and then ten minutes of art and afterwards I'll reward myself with something fun. Like restoring a pony or browsing Ebay for pony auctions.

I used to watch NCIS in the earlier years. Abby was my favourite character. I loved that she dressed so alternative but still had such a serious job position. Very inspirational to younger me.

Though there is one massive downside for most women's t-shirts - the white ones are almost always pretty see-through. It's like a wet t-shirt contest, even when they're dry.  I try to avoid the lightest colors since I don't need to be giving people a show everywhere I go.

Yeah, what's up with that? I don't remember white T-shirts being like this 15 years ago. It feels like they're getting thinner and thinner.
For me wearing a beige bra underneath usually works though. It doesn't show through.

I've been thinking about how to rate my days. I think I need to be hard on myself because if I'm going to start a business of my own some day I need to be able to dedicate several hours every day to it. With that in mind I'll rate my days like this.

Time dedicated on working on my art or other things related to starting a business selling it. 1 to 5 points.

1 - At least 10 minutes.
2 - 10 minutes to 1 hour.
3 - At least 1 hour, less than 3 hours.
4 - At least 3 hours, less than 5 hours.
5 - More than 5 hours.

With that I got 3 points yesterday and 1 today.

I'm short so I have the opposite problem. Many T-shirts and shirts in general are too long on me.

I love T-shirts. Especially white ones with black text on. My favourite T-shirt is a white one with the text "80's". I also like my Levi's T-shirt with a gold logo. The gold adds a interesting pop of colour to any outfit.

It's finally spring! We're doing barbeque tonight and I spent a while reading outside in the garden.

I had a great start on the new month. After not working on my art at all during March I just spent almost two hours working on a vector. I have a dinner to attend today so I thought if I was to get anything done today I needed to begin early so I worked on the vector while having breakfast and once I started time just flew. The part of the graphic I worked on today wasn't even fun, just a repetitive tedious segment, but I stuck to it deciding I needed to finish that segment today, and I did!

I'm not going to rate the day just yet because I don't know if I'll maybe have time to do some more artwork in the evening but so far so good! Just wanted to post here to say that this kickstarted my motivation.  :)

What are your goals for 2018?
Getting a income from my art.

What do you want to accomplish in the Motivation Round of Healthy Pony?
Setting up a Etsy store with at least two products.

What Does a 0 day look to you?
I do no art whatsoever.

What does 5 day look to you?
I work on my art for a couple of hours.

What can you do or use for motivation?
I need to get into a routine. If I've been working on my art every day for a week I don't like breaking that routine but once I do, I have a hard time getting back to to it. What's skipping one more day when I've already skipped one? But that one day which became two suddenly becomes a week or more and gone is the routine and I end up doing other things instead. Every day that I accomplish my daily goals (I have four, working on my art being one) I put an X in the column for that goal next to the date in my bullet journal monthly overview. I need a long line of Xs in each column to keep up the motivation for all of my daily goals.

Tell us your dream:)
Having my own online store selling my own designs plus other things and being able to live off of it.

Other. Any place with lots of history. Big city or small village doesn't matter, as long as there's old buildings. I loved Rome for that reason.

Somewhere with lots of beautiful nature works too. I'd like to go to Scotland some day to see the highlands.
