2 years ago, I decided to pick up art again after many years.

And by “art” I meant making crappy sketches of miniature horses anytime I could.

I wanted to get noticed. So I drew a lot and I drew often. 

And then I got silly and thought that I could draw out a massive epic fanfic divided into four parts: Tip of the Bow, The Hilltops, Unification, and Where the World Ends.

Of course, it failed spectacularly. But some parts did survive into 2012.

The remnants of Where the World Ends eventually became Post Crusade. And the world described in The Hilltops served as the base for Ponyville Diaries.

(and now, time for old art spam with witty commentary)

It’s pretty cool when you set dates for fictional events in the future and then real time starts catching up to them.

For instance, PC Sweetie Belle earned her cutie mark on December 22, 2013 in blog time.
