I got bored, did some warm-up scribbling, and suddenly a wild @askmeaniebelle appeared.
It’s a bit weird when I convert a character usually drawn in a distinctive style to my vanilla art style. But I think it looks okay.
Wow, 200 followers, and still growing, I’m actually really surprised! back when I first made this blog just over 2 years ago I’d of never imagined anything near this amount of people would be interested in the crude art I post.
But here we are.
May as well list whose in here.
from left to right:
command-a-pony-A recent friend, and very funny guy. I’ve been following his stuff for awhile, he has a unique style and unique way of telling a story that I can’t resist being enamored by!
magic-rarity-Another more recent friend and masterful artist whom I’ve enjoyed talking to over the past couple of months.
motherlyscootaloo-an old friend, maybe not friend anymore. I feel out of contact with the mod awhile ago, but still they are someone who helped inspire me.
Mason-also known as Broken Pen. a very dear friend to me, who has pushed me to not only continue this blog, but better myself as an artist and a person.
post-crusade-Run by cactus, another good friend, whom I can pretty much completely thank for my current group of friends.
Tempus-An adorable cutie!
youobviouslyloveoctavia-Owner of the enigmatic Scramjet, whom will likely be tinkered with by sweetie after her birthday is over. Scram is another close friend of mine, an invaluable one at that. with the amount he has pushed and encouraged me, I’m almost certain he actually is a robot, he has so many friends, and from what I can tell, he encourages them just as much. He really is the pony that every pony should know.
adurot’s pony kirby. he’s an arsehole. Adurot that is. Pony kirby too.
I’d also like to extend a huge thank you to the entirety of the sweetiebellesbandb, whome have been a great source of collaboration and discussion.
Finally, there’s one last person I’d like to thank.
The owl plushy there on the bench is based off of one of rainbirdart’s characters, muchi, a character that definitely most represents the mod. I could have drawn her pony Rainbird here, I have drawn her before, but I wanted to do something more personable, because without a doubt in my mind, she is my best friend, and one of the most supportive people I could have hoped to have in my life. she is one of the biggest influences in how unique So Sweetie Belle is today, and also on how she acts. it has been her small nods and discussions that have driven me to improve the character and myself and my art. I think to this do one of the best compliments on the blog I have ever gotten was hers “I don’t really like canon sweetie belle, but I like yours”.
from the bottom of my heart, and I’m sure you are sick of hearing it at this point, Rain, thank you.
Many congrats to Quill! (And PCAB looks great! Thanks!) 8D
Post-Crusade Chronicles
Okay, I’ve been playing way too much Xenoblade Chronicles. Combine that with rereading Cactus’ Post-Crusade, and I start doing crossovers.
So say hello to easily the most volatile adventuring party in all of Equestria. Honestly I thought there’d be a bit more red, but Apple Bloom seems to have eased up on Rumble at least a little bit…
((Post-Crusade character icons are from said blog, Xenoblade text box and affinity emoticons were recreated by Evergreen-Symphony))
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!

YOYOYO, happy birthday!!
I apologize if the picture looks overdone or anything. I swear I didn’t mean to do that. And I’m sorry if I messed up on anything ;3; I tried.
*AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*
It looks fantastic! (Your art is good, shut up.)
Thanks a bunch, Sam (the one I know IRL)!

I found this emblem while playing Black Ops 2 the other day. It’s not amazing but I still love it.

Very cool!
Pokemon battle screen for Cactus. http://postcrusade-mod.tumblr.com/ in honor of his angry horses.
Haha! Spettro and Clyde as Pokemon! XD
Thanks a bunch for the drawing!
pvryohei submitted:
Hey there! I drew this for you last week. I already said it before, but you’re my biggest inspiration and one of the main reasons I got so far as an artist, so I wanted to draw something to show you my gratitude.
So, I just want to say that you’re amazing! ^^
AAAAAAAHH OH MY GOSH!! *A*
It looks fantastic! I love it! Thank you so much!
(BTW, I’m plugging your blog. Shining Bonds Dinky, everyone!)
Fan art for the mod of Post Crusade.
Scootaloo and Rumble are on a camping trip and on their first night, they just so happen to be attacked by a giant bear.
Drawn by: alittleofsomethingarts
Haha! This is totally how I do things around here.
Thanks a bunch, ALOS! 8D
And here it is! When I first started this blog I had no experience at all with art, but thanks to all of you I had a reason to motivate myself to get better, and now here I am, with over 500 followers! So, I would like to thank every single one of you, even those who are no long with me, because you guys are the reason I managed to get so far, and am hoping to go even further!
The winners, from left to right, as well as individual pictures for each pony:

Congrats, man! This looks fantastic!
((OOC: Yay for more Earth pony lanterns in today’s alternaverse.
The secret lantern of Equestria, Roseluck got her ring when she was still a filly, but wasn’t officially trained as a Blue lantern until she turned eighteen. Instead of using the powers of her ring to fight crime, as with most of the other Lanterns in her universe, Roseluck uses her aura of hope to silently uplift the citizens of Ponyville. Because of this power, Twilight Sparkle was able to overcome Discord’s influence, Pinkie Pie was able to befriend Cranky Doodle Donkey and the Apple Family was able to best the Flim Flam brothers. Her page in the book of Oa prominently displays the words “Always in the background” at the top of the page. Suggested by Ask Crimson Petal
Even after finally getting her cutie mark, Post-Crusade Applebloom wanted more; to satisfy her need for social acceptance. This unfortunately led to over two dozen mutilations in Manehatten, as she collected them from the flanks of the elderly. A copy of the Orange ring found her, becoming a permanent object because of an anomaly in the magical barrier surrounding the planet. Now, her constructs consist of cutie marks made real. (A hammer becoming a real hammer, a quill becoming a deadly blade) She now searches for her final prize; the cutie marks of the rest of Equestria’s Lanterns. Suggested by Ask Whiteeyes.
Join me tomorrow for more, and on that note, I’m afraid there will be no story update tomorrow. I’m really quite sick and it’s affecting my breathing, lowing my energy drastically. So unless random fan art crops up overnight, there will most likely be nothing in the morning. Once again, I’m really sorry about that.))
AAAA I MISSED THIS
Day 6 done
So, yeah. Remember when I said that this would be done by the end of the week? I sorely underestimated myself it seems. For the most part, this is done. Shading isn’t my greatest asset, so I’m not going to promise that I’ll put it in (might try later, but I just don’t want to ruin this with horrible shading).
I have to thank Azure for taking the commission and producing a marvelous sketch. Inking this thing was a wonderful challenge for me and I had a blast working on it. Was my stress relief for the last couple weeks to be honest. Now for the big thing. Bear with me guys, this might get a bit long, cause I got things to say about the whys of this.
The main reason for this picture is that I had been asked a few times what my favorite blogs are and what my favorite of the main cast is. Well, that got me thinking and I ended up merging the two questions to “what are my favorite blogs for each of the main six and cmc?“ Thus, we have this. I can tell you right now that choosing was not easy.
Pirate Dash: TJ, man, I don’t know what to say. Pirate Dash was among the first Dash blogs I came across, yet I never really followed until early this year. Why so long? I have no idea. You are an amazing person and you have gotten way too much crap said about you and your art that you just don’t deserve. I love the blog both for the puns and for the art.
Another Twilight Sparkle: ATS, you were the first Twilight Sparkle blog I ever saw and I loved it right from the get go. Some of the earliest things that I can recall are the back and forth you had with Ask Trixie and with PD. You are and always will be my favorite of the Twilight blogs.
Lying Applejack: Why, oh why did I take so long in following you? Seriously. Like with PD, you are blog I had seen pop up while looking at other ones and yet just never followed until only within the last few months. I so wish I had started following sooner. You’re among the few traditional artist blogs out there (I know there are a few) and it amazes me what you can do.
Demotivated Pinkie: Pinks, you are an astounding being, you really are. I’ve known you only for a few short months and yet I’d consider you among my closest friends. You’ve got a great sense of humor, even if your pun runs make me want to smash my head through a wall at times. You’ve managed to an element out of Pinkie, her love of parties, and yet still keep her personality intact. And…I’m really looking forward to seeing how that little project of ours comes out in the end.
Umm Fluttershy: Dude, you are just astounding with how cute you end up drawing Flutters. Still a new blog, but like I said before, I fell in love with it at first glance. You have a cute art style and I simply look forward to each of your posts.
Raritrap: When I first found your blog, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I’ll be honest, I still don’t know what fully to expect and I love it. The situation behind your blog is one that I’m curious to find out about and really would love to simply know what’s going on. You have one of the most interesting Raritys out there, and that’s saying something with how many there are.
Motherly Scootaloo: Okay, now I could honestly go on forever about this one and the same for Sam. Took one heck of a sensitive topic and did an amazing job with it. Supportive as all heck and I won’t lie, one of the biggest factors to why I even started this blog in the first place. The blog itself is like feels central. I both anticipate and fear just about every update because I’m not sure if my heart can take it. Really, there isn’t enough I can say about it.
Post Crusade: Oh boy, I don’t know where to start here. This has been among the most fascinating blogs for me to follow. You use what looks to be a simplistic art style (yet isn’t), the personality you give to each of the cast is fitting and amazing, you’ve been getting better as a story teller since you started as well. You’re among those people I wish I could talk to, but would feel too awkward doing so for some reason.
Teenage Crusaders Answers: Paint Light, you were among my first followers and you’ve stuck around since pretty much the beginning. You’ve got great art, have been awesome to talk to, and you’ve put up with my recent shenanigans with Evening Light. This is a thank you that is far, far, far overdue and I still don’t think it’s enough.
Want to give an honorable mention to Ask Babs. I would have included them in the picture, but I ran out of funds sadly. They have a wonderful take on Babs and it’s been fun watching the art style there change since the start.
All of these blogs are great and run by wonderful people. Honestly, if you aren’t following any of them, you really should be.
~BlacklinMod
Wow! This is a fantastic coloring job, and an amazing pic in all!
Thank you (and the commissioned artist) for all the hard work! And thank you BlacklinMod for the kind words and for the support!
