Still alive!

Sorry for no updates; I dropped the ball hard when my emotional state dropped. I’m  fine, I just have ups and downs; I made my patrons aware of this weeks ago (and did not charge them for the month as is fair), just been slow about actually saying here. For now I’m focusing on commissions to earn money for a short vacation with some friends - among other things.

I do have plans in mind for both standard updates and at least one animated PB post.

Hey Painty, have you ever thought about how you'd look in a wedding dress? I think you'd look beautiful as a bride.

“Funny you should ask that. I recently helped out… one of my main clients… with a shoot in which I wore a wedding dress.”

“Not all stallions can have naturally fantastic lashes,and as it happens I got the short straw. No matter!”

Thought I’d really throw my lot in on this post. This took way longer than I’d ever have wanted it to, ahah... I hope you guys like the result.

If you want to see me do this kind of 10 hour project every week, I may be swayed by people contributing to my Patreon. 

I have a full-page version of this on Derpibooru.

Expanding Ask-Paintblood

And a perspective on living with ADHD

I have decided to commit to making Ask-Paintblood a weekly comic and I’d very much like your support in doing so (along with other projects/artwork I have planned for the immediate future).

For anyone interested in what I have to say, check it out below the break:

What is the most froo froo clothing item you have ever worn?

“An anon also asked me my opinion of ‘Gothic Lolita’, which is an interesting question that requires a little perspective for those who know nothing of the fashion.

“First and foremost, Goithic Lolita is a specific subset of a wider fashion; Lolita itself spans many styles and from my experience the most popular is Sweet lolita, rather than Gothic.

“The simple answer to the question is ‘yes’, however I am also very much a fan of what some call Bittersweet; that is, Sweet Lolita with a black coloured print.”

“Or at the very least pay me more.”

How narrow can you get your hips with a corset?

any chance on returning?

PB will be back when I have less to get done! I have a good few commissions to do and an animation project I should be working on, so low priority, but he will be back!

Could you wear some of those Victorian outfits in the Christmas episode. I don't know why but the spats Starlight wore were so cute.

While I am unsure what you mean by episode, Rarity’s Boutique once produced a rather fine historically-accurate piece; one i was lucky enough to model in fact!

Hiya

Sorry for no updates, been busy with other stuff plus building a question backlog; will be back to this asap!

[ask-paintblood]

Little concerned.

Essentially when I created this blog I wanted to focus on requests to draw PB as characters or in costumes/outfits or whatever... I guess I failed horribly to communicate that because I have gotten NOT ONE response of that type.

Where are the requests to see him as a magical girl, a pirate or a breezie or something? Maybe you’d like to see him dressed as Chrysalis or in a certain type of dress Go on, I’m sure some of you have ideas!

Right now I’m somewhat worried that - simply due to me getting questions that don’t quite fit what I wanted - this blog will die out despite me updating it.

How big is your closet exactly?

Honestly? Rather sparse.

You see, I own very very few garments of my own.

I do have one or two pieces I have been gifted and a rather beautiful gown from Carousel Boutique, but the clothes I wear are - for the most part - supplied by sponsors.

I wear clothes by the brands I work alongside and in return my closet is a never-ending dream of variety! Over the last couple of years my relationship with certain designers has been such that I can make specific requests without too much issue.

Another stallion not afraid to rock a dress

[ask-paintblood]

What dress would go good for a stallion that has a dark blue coat and green and purple mane

I’m afraid that’s not quite how it works.

While I could recommend a dress in a medium nlue perhaps, or perhaps black with purple trim… it’s a little more difficult when determining a STYLE of dress.

You see, what does and does not suit a pony is as much about body shape as anything else. If you hare heavy set and on the muscular side then you are going to struggle to find a flattering one-piece, for instance.

Another point is in mane and tail style- limitations of styling, length… then when you factor in your personality and the way you carry yourself,… essentially I lack much needed information on all sorts of things

HOWEVER, I can recommend a fantastic boutique in Canterlot; I’m sure they could help you- I believe they also have sister stores in Manehatten and of course Ponyville, of all places..

[ask-paintblood]

How do you pick out what you decide to wear each day? especially since you seem to enjoy a broad selection.

Sometimes I just string two words together. For instance, maybe ‘Glam-goth’; is that a real fashion? i have no idea.

[ask-paintblood]

Any advice for a stallion who want to crossdress but is afraid what people may think...?

“If you look and feel great, nothing should stop you. 

If it’s friends you’re concerned about, then buck up and show them who you are because if they can’t accept it they’re no friend of yours.

Family can be trickier, but they should be proud you’re finding your own path to happiness in life.”
