There’s gonna be a princess named Meghan (my name) with the same spelling. This is oddly satisfying. I never saw my name anywhere growing up except for the gaggle of other girls named after some soap opera star. Yay for another royal wedding. Will they get a Flurry Heart? 

[hanamimod]

I has a April fools horsey. And... it died. wtf

[hanamimod]

Cady, Shiny and Flurry Heart now get to read Twilight’s letters in the opening. This is a nice birthday gift. (next week) Yay~

Did the opening change last week and I missed it, or was it just changed for this week’s epiosde? I was looking down while the intro song started and all of a sudden saw the wonderbolt raindbow and was like... wha?

Also Sheldon is now a pony. I enjoy telling my co-workers what celeb has been turned into a pony.

story of my current life- following the Toronto AQI... (the Toronto EEA) No princesses around to tell off our annoying accessors who won’t change the rules no matter how unique our circumstances are. This season of ponies is gonna make me more crazy than usual.

found an anime I really like on Netflix... wikipedia went and spoiled the ending for me. Dammit. 

...I mean I kinda guessed it after episode 4, but really? And sometimes the mom scenes are too much for me. Can I even get through it now? Watching the dub while drawing tonight.

Gotta love the art though.

on ponytown for the heck of it. Hanging with the other princesses...

So I’m kinda drawing one of Sunset’s memories she’d probably rather forget. Working on the 4th of what should be a 6 photo sets.

Big Meanie!

(but I love her <3)

PS, using the teen pony designs shown in Season 7 for Cady’s gangley adolescent phase. I like the look. Techically I gues she should look like this at age 13.. but I established she grows quickly and taller than most ponies in the story... so there we are.

lookit those skinny filly legs! :D

My kitten does this too.

He came here to screech

oooohhhh

FREE ART PROGRAMS

So recently I came across a fellow artist who was struggling to find a free art program, and considering dropping the large amount of money for a Photoshop license. I know not everyone can afford such an expensive program, so I’ve compiled a list of programs with no cost to download and use.

Keep in mind all computers are different, so not all will work for everyone. Also, I’ve only ever used Windows, so for the most part, I’m not sure if everything will work for Mac. if in doubt check the website linked.

Photoshop CS2 - (Windows, not sure about Mac.)

FireAlpaca - (Windows and Mac)

Sketchbook Copic Edition - (Windows and Mac)

GIMP - (Windows) (Mac)

Paint tool SAI [cracked]  - (Windows) (Mac)

Paint tool SAI 2 beta - (tumblr post on said program)

iPaint - (Mac)

Paintbrush - (Mac)

Pencil - (Windows, Mac)

Paint.NET - (Windows)

Seashore [still in development, ver 0.5] - (Mac)

I adore these two together. 

I dare y’all at tell me that they’re not a thing…

[hanamimod]

can you turn on the comment feature? I always have something to say to your posts because I’ve been a Before After school teacher for 6 years and know exactly what you’re talking about... but never get to say it :( My kids all have recorders too! (Its Teenprincesscadance mod ;) )

so the post I reblogged the other day about 90s kids vs today’s and like everything we do and I said it was p much the same

The 3rd graders got their recorders today lol

[hanamimod]

that’s where I have worked for the past 6 years! Kids love my art and obsession with mlp and cartoons. You’ll fit right in. I have 28 kids with another teacher and its a handful... not sure how you are stuck with so much. Good luck and I can help with anything if you need it!

@castorochiaro it’s a before and after school program for elementary kids! I’ll be working with like, 50-70 kids at the school I got assigned to and I’m legit excited because I went to this same program back when I was in elementary. I had so much fun at it @w@ I kind of wish my parents did the after school one but I only had mornings and still made so many friends aaaa

I’m gonna show those kids how cool I am with my knowledge of MLP and Pokémon LOL. I don’t know how it’ll work with so many kids since there was only like 10-15 of us for when I was in it 😂 I wonder if there’ll be like, an creative art area?? I have tons of crayons and color pencils I could bring and draw with the kids ahhh

[hanamimod]

we got a snowstorm last weekend, most of this week has been warm enough for t-shirts and today there was a thunderstorm and cold weather again. Ths is Toronto weather :P

Only in Wisconsin can it go from thunderstorming one night to snowing the next.  Jeez.

[hanamimod]

Steven Universe latest episode made me cry. Can I go to that magic room too to see my mom? Now art to cheer up

[hanamimod]

It was nice to be on the Shiny Cady day posts for eq daily but if I might rant why was my art in the 'art submitted' post? It was full of some nice pics and then hastily drawn pencil drawings, while the 'best of ' was more like my own style. Just kinda bummed since i never get on eq daily unless i submit my own work which i feel selfish doing. Sigh😯 Let me know if you still like my art. I work hard on it still. But just for fun.

[hanamimod]

My next art may or may not be Lilo and Stitch inspired. That and why am I arting and watching Sailor Moon when How to get away with Murder S2 is on netflix? 

I did some traditional painting today at a paintlounge. It was fun. Pics when its not dark in my apartment anymore (has been since 5pm  during a storm)
