this is amazing. the natural elements in it, from realistically convincing fashion that matches each character to natural elements incorporated beautifully. The colors are yummy and the COMPOSITION. is. scrumptious!!

The sheer energy radiating from these panels is strong enough to run my school laptop.

short glimpses of a deeper story are so intriguing in art, too.

Years of research regarding your progress thus far and the projected outcome of your continued efforts have culminated in the finding that it is in fact time for you to give up, experts on you concluded this week. “You made a decent run at it, but you’re kidding yourself if you think you’re ever really going to get anywhere,” said numerous sources who worked on your case, none of whom believed that further expenditure of time, energy, or resources would garner apreciable gains and all of whom believed that a graceful admission of defeat is your best option.

got caught up in her coolness factor

We watched this female jaguar resting during midday heat (40+ degrees). Suddenly, a massive male jaguar jumped out of the bushes. The female's adrenaline kicked in and her pupils turned blue for a second, as you can see on the shots.

24.03.2025—cheeky update from my last post—i was able to get over my meltdown by devising this to do list. the left side has everything i need to read & take notes on for coursework, as well draft (down the bottom), and the right side is the same but for my PhD. by managing like this i feel a sense of achievement ticking things off, instead of just writing “research essay” on my to do list and not being able to tick it off bc i haven’t submitted the essay yet. breaking it down into smaller chunks thus helps with that sense of achievement when working on large projects. hope this is helpful, just wanted to share a more positive update

apart from looking AMAZING, this is such a cool and creative exercise!! By separating elements of a character design, you automatically have to pay attention at the details and think about which dualities are in the design.

If you look at Rarity's design, the 2 you might make of her are less obvious, as she has just purple hair. but look closer, there is a difference in her inside and outside hair.

Also the way of dividing the cutie marks up is so cool?? The way u divide them in multiple ways: some cutie marks have way different parts/components, that u just separate to have multiple. (E.g. Twilight, Starlight, Rainbow) Sunset's cutie mark is also divided in this way, but since the 2 suns r originally meshed together, it seems less obvious. I'm just obsessed with how u worked it out. Then there's the ones that have 3 of the same shape (Pinkie, Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack), that here are divided into 1 and 2. Makes sense. U kinda only have to decide which design gets 1 and which 2. The difference in separation styles in cutie marks is also close to the difference of how abstract the cutie mark originally is.

I also love how Twilight is 3 ponies. 1 for earth, 1 for pegasus, 1 for unicorn. And that also makes 1 per each color in her hair. Neat.

And the way eye components are divided too.. muah

Don't ever underestimate yourself. No dream is too big, because I think dreaming gets us where we want to go. Be curious, explore, open yourself up to new ideas always. It will be OK. Don't worry about making bad decisions. Oftentimes, you learn the most in those situations of failure and move in and put your point of view out there and express how you would deal with the situation or business decision you would make. Just to keep believing in yourself, you can do it. If you believe in yourself and have confidence, then others will have confidence in you too. Just keep going. Just keep working hard. And then you get to the other side, of course you have what it takes to get to the other side. Be fearless,journal your thoughts, cut out people who make you feel behind, buy yourself books, explore new things, everyday is a new day, embrace discomfort, set boundaries unapologetically, celebrate small wins, trust your intuition, stay consistent, invest in your growth, rest without guilt, challenge your fears, be kinder to yourself, step outside your comfort zone, believe in your potential, disconnect to reconnect, prioritize inner peace, speak up for yourself, stay curious, nourish your body, learn from failures, visualize your success, let go of perfectionism, protect your energy, keep moving forward and u will see the change
