art style crisis part,,, I don't even know at this point

I really really really want to have a softer stylized way of drawing ((like the Moe(?) Artstyle or stuff like lala loopsy))

I'm not sure why I always revert back to semi-realism when I'm not drawing ponies

Every time a family member asks how my "little art businessy thing you do!" Is going I have no clue how to respond

I'm also debating on posting my non-cutesy art? I'm much more fond of cartoony stuff but on occasion I'll have stuff in my "scratchy" art style :P

I'm not sure if it would help my page or ruin the aesthetic/consistency

One day, I'll be able to excitedly ramble to 'em about how I was able to buy new shoes n stuff from commission money !! I'm determined!!

Thinking about the process of MLP AUs ,,, history truly repeats itself through generations. :^

There are some treasures to be found in said AUs, but a lot of it is empty gore with no real creativity between them. A lot of them are essentially the same thing, which is okay, it's a trend, but not my cup of tea. My main issue is just how predictable they are and how little they consider the actual world building? I know I'm being picky, but I just can't get into it if there are glaring plot holes ((ex: the absence of Discord, Celestia, Luna, Zecora, Spike, tree/elements of harmony, Cadence, or other important figures)) since it makes the characters look silly or completely incompetent. Another issue I have is the lack of natural progression,,, every start is BOOM jumpscare mutated pony with a droopy jaw, no fur, stretched limbs, same old symptoms every time,,, there's a lot of horror aspects like go completely under appreciated in starting a series like that! One of my favorites being the all-time classic "Thing that is *almost* your loved one and keeps giving you false hope that they're still alive in there."

I do say this as an avid scream fan, though, so I suppose it only matters to me when I'm deeply invested in the personalities and original, non-horror, plot line of whatever media it is.

I have mild synesthesia, and it's so silly when people call my art "edible" since that's a more popular compliment now!

I used to say it because of the genuine taste in people's art to mixed reactions, but I feel much more normal atm o(^o^)o

UGH

I love the proper snout I drew on my test pinkie pie but I don't know how to fit it into my regular chibi-ish style

I'm thinking maybe I'll draw the face with more bug like proportions so it'll still look nice but hopefully fit my style too

[gloomy-gloom]

Experimenting with a couple new styles,,, they're both first attempts so there's a lot of little things to iron out :3

[gloomy-gloom]

Uh completely unrelated to ponies or art or anything but

What's up with Spotify being blatantly ableist as of late ??

[gloomy-gloom]

Whenever I post my art I feel so bad for my online friends/moots who aren't as confident

I'm sure a lot of the time they're just being nice when they say my art is 'better' but I know as a beginner I always felt lesser than the artists around me who had styles I wanted to emulate

PSA to encourage newbies to keep going, even if they gotta crawl ( *・ω・)ノ ~ <3

[gloomy-gloom]

I really want to do art trades, but I don't reach enough people yet I don't think T_T

Frown central over here

[gloomy-gloom]

I'm mildly upset Applejack and Pinkie are implied to be related

I absolutely adore them as family, even sisters!! But they have the PERFECT NAME that goes to waste

Applepie, you will be missed </3

I know some people don't mind since it's up to interpretation, but they consider eachother family/sisters which has the same effect imo

[gloomy-gloom]

I guess I should post the apple sisters more,,, people are eating it up !!

I must give the people what they demand :3

Also, THANK YOU TO ALL THE PONY THEMED ACCOUNTS THAT KEEP FOLLOWING ME??? I can not tell you how much I love seeing someone's pony PFP and immediately scrolling through their page

[gloomy-gloom]

Oh, almighty tumblr algorithm, please push my latest art a little more! I beg of you </3

It's so inconsistent. My Applejack and Applebloom has about forty notes, but my newest piece of my OC has, like,,, three?

I appreciate all interaction of course, I mostly post for myself and for the few people who enjoy my style, but at the same time it feels funny ((/neg)) to see art I tried much harder on do so poorly compared to something I just doodled to keep my hands busy :P

Blehh!!

What's //actually// funny is people's usernames on here???

I'll get the sweetest people consistently interacting, reposting, maybe even following me, and then their username is the most outlandish thing that gives you mental whiplash the second you read it

Shout out to those people, you know who you are >_0

[gloomy-gloom]

I totally forgot people steal art,,, should I be putting watermarks on my stuff?

I doubt anybody would steal my art, but it might be a good precaution,,, fun too :3

[gloomy-gloom]

I wanna sleep on a cloud :3

I think I'll stick with this coloring style, I'll probably use more saturated colors for some pieces, though.

I love desaturated colors a lot of the time, but they're hard sometimes since color theory can make a light blue look like a washed-out grey >_<

I'm pretty happy with the eyes!! I love adding little details like stars to their eyeshine :3

[gloomy-gloom]

I'm obsessed with wet hair rarity and the "french" look she has in that one episode!! She always has the most immaculate hairstyles and it KILLS ME /pos

I love to draw her with Opal since they remind me of me and my cat.

Girls' night!! :3
