I forgot how hard animation can be and burnt myself out... so I have been delayed in terms of transfering my artwork here. Welp ...that sucks ;-;

If I disappear...

If for whatever reason I am gone for a long period of time, you can presume Im likely dead. I bring this up during a rough time for me personally and politically, during a very uncertain time for myself. I cant garentee anything, the future is an unknown, and I just need you to know that I would never intentionally leave this blog without at least saying goodbye. Know that, please.

Sorry if this is a strange post, I just need to make sure you all know this... just incase...

For April 9th...

I meant to upload this yesterday but I forgot, so youre getting this a day late unfornately. Anyways, I made this a few years ago in honor of National Unicorn Day. It is suppose to be the constellation Monoceros but as if they were within the MLPFiM universe. So I hope you all can appericate the concept at very least...

Its nothing too fancy, I was just having fun with it :)

Having to recreate this mini animatic of mine is not as easy as I thought. I had lost the original video file, like many of my works, and have to recreate it. Thankfully I still have all the still-images so thats helpful... I just find that adding my watermark to be tetious, not to meantion the actual animated part of that needs to include it as well. Im also putting all the images into the imovie app so the dementions need to be adjusted slightly to fit corrrectly.

Why does this have to be so hard... 🫠

500 Instagram Raffle Results...

Back in April 2023, I held a raffle on my instagram as a celebration on getting to the big 500 mark. It was a big moment for me, I had never had 500 followers anywhere before so this was very exciting moment for sure :)

Ive really come a long way, even if Im leaving it all behind. Reflecting on the past, its very nistolgic but in a sad way if that makes any sense. I know looking towards the future is important, I need to move on or else Ill be stuck on what once was or what could be and I cant think about that now. I want my life back, I dont want to be trapped scrolling social media all day or fill my time with needless drama. I dont want to be on an app ran by a multi-billionaire that sucks up to the orange facsist, so leaving is extremely important for me ...even if Ill miss it to some extent...

Stardust, April 2023

At this point is when I changed Stardust to have a shorter mane due to not liking it longer, I had dedicated a whole post to just establish that just so in future posts I could continue to draw Stardust that way without anyone wondering why his mane is shorter :)

Stardust & ScarletImpluse

Made this peice of my ponysona and ScarletImpluse's, one of my instagram followers who has been around the longest and has constantly showed support for my art.

I really appericated them and I will never forget Scarlet's support 💚

Once Im off of instagram, I will miss them along side many others for sure 🫠

Midnight Masquerade ☆°.•

"Stardust was attending Count Sable’s Midnight Masquerade party. They were having fun but were a little tired as he wasn’t usually out this late. Then, Stardust met this strange pony. An alicorn by the name of Astra Stellaris approached them. She seemed fascinated by Stardust’s horn, which was an unusual look for a unicorn.. and for good reason of course. Between compliments, Astra had asked various questions. Stardust answered to the best of their ability. The two of the sat at a table and drank some wine while they continued to chat. Stardust became fascinated with the mare as he learned more about her. Stardust did their best to give Astra the information she seeked. In the end, Stardust agreed to help her fill in her map and continuous learning about modern Equestria. The idea of being able to help excited him, especially due to the adventure aspect of it. Plus, what pony wouldn’t want to join along side such a beautiful alicorn such as Astra? As the night was wrapping up, they decided to ask their host if they had a modern map of Equestria they could use for reference. Stardust thought it would be a great start to compare land marks so it would be easier to help Astra fill in missing information…"

This was a collab post between me and ad-astra.___ (instagram) for Count Sable's Event. This was our first collab and it was back in April of 2023. I highly reccomend checking out her posts which I will link below...

Rest In Peace, Elements of Friendship...

A ponygram MLP AU group I was a part of but it died before it even got started. Between scheduling conflicts and my hyperfixation causing me to exhibit pushy behavior, it never left our discord chats. We had Nova the Element of Trust, Stormbreaker the Element of Bravery, Decorin the Element of Beauty, Country Stix the Element of Community, Flutterdust the Element of Love, and Cringe Culture the Element of Fun. Together they were the Elements of Friendship.

My character was Flutterdust and I created several works with him, which I may post here later. I worked for days on putting him together in a way that was similar yet a little different from Fluttershy, even going as far as designing family members. However it was in vain as, like I said, we never did anything afterall. But maybe you all can at least enjoy the leftover art that exists from that brief time period...

"Where'd he get all those from..?"

Just a silly meme using my ponysona, Derplune (OC), and Phanity (OC)... I made this back in 2022, was just having some fun 😅

Classic Phanity and his teeth collection lmao

☆ Magic Mare ☆ (Pt 1)

These are some of the posts I made when I ran my Magic Mare ponygram account.

Basicly he had found a phone and loved the social media attention, then soon after discovered this mysterous device. She was showing it off to Painset Shimmercake when the Magitek Freak Hunters showed up with the intent to kill them both. During their fight, Magic Mare activated the device accidently and fell into a worm hole which dropped her into another universe and one that was very similar to the Equestria they once knew... obviously leaving him very confused.

It was fun for awhile pretending to be her, but unfornately that had to end at some point. Rather than let my time and effort go to waste however, Im reuploading them here despite the account itself being permanetly deleted.

Old YCHs I made...

Reuploading these here but with new watermark. These ones I thankfully had the original file for so it was a bit easier putting on said watermark.

I had made a YCH based on my, at the time, profile photo. I got a few people wanting their characters made and so that was nice. Although this YCH is closed, Id consider reopening it if enough people wanted it...

Mini Rant/Vent

Right so this is just a micro-post, not targetting anyone in particular, but I am concerned with some users (primarily on instagram) taking a puritan/conservative approach to art... which is a shock to me as youd think the MLP side of instagram would be esspecially chill. I typically avoid drama so I hope these sorts of posts, like this one, will not be common on here. I am just expressing my slight annoyance where I know the users Im thinking of wont dogpile me and make assumptions about my character due to their righteous rage towards anything non-normative.

I just wish someone of these users would not only take a few art history classes but just understand the naunces of art more. Maybe they wouldnt be so judgemental :/

Love Poisoned

I originally created this back in February 2022, imaging the ponies from the Heart & Hooves Day as Prince Blue Dream and Princess Golden Dream. Sincs I was going to reupload it here, I decided to recreate the whole artpeice as well to give a comparison to how much Ive improved since then (back when I was going by sunbeammlp). In my current iteration I made Gold Dream actually have the ability to channel alicorn abilities (inspired by Sunny from G5) rather than be an actual alicorn ...I figured it would be more interesting without being lore-breaking at all (at least for the most part).

Future: Elements Of Insanity

Originally made this back in 2022, but I did freshen up the line art a bit and recreated the background to align with my style more...

It was a fun little exercise in terms of translating The Elements of Insanity into the designs used for the Mane Six in The Last Problem. Although Im not entirely thrilled with the outcome, I do think Pinkis Cupcake was the best one in terms of design here. Im happy with how she turned out... Im still bothered by Fluttershout's eyes, I dont know how to fix them 😅

My old sona, Sunbeam

I dont use them anymore to represent myself but I still wanted to make an apperication post for my old sona. Their pony disguise is based on the G1 pony of that same name, Sunbeam.

This collage consists of old art I made, its so interesting to reflect on considering how I have changed as an artist...
