Cactus Codex

I haven’t done a borderline lewd thing in a while.

So here, here’s two bird brothers talking about how gay Thunderlane is. :v

And yeah, the cutie mark mean it’s totally PC-canon 82

((Note: I don’t necessarily ship ThunderSoarin’.))

Am I working on things?

Probably not.

Still, have a PC doodle.

Something something drama that has existed before but got bumped by HN.

Traceponies, £100 traces masquerading as professional work, trace is bad, reference is good, I used to trace in my vector era, and the experience helped me learn how to retain a close-to-show style without ever needing to trace again so it’s kinda okay as a study or for practice, but not for anything you really want to make business out of. :Y

And that’s all I’m gonna say.

Nothing will convince me that the way I draw (not the style, but the actual process) is not weird as hell.

Unless there’s a bunch of other people who assemble sketches and drawings by creating multiple layers of body parts and mashing them together like a puzzle. In which case, never mind.

The last time I updated the PC cutie mark assets was in 2013 so I thought maybe it was time to give them a refresh (and to vector them).

Only Scoots’ and Apple Bloom’s marks received a more drastic facelift.

Drumming so loud, the audio starts clipping.

If I had an aesthetic, it’d be this.

I don’t think I ever mentioned this. I have this RD vinyl figure that I won at a charity auction in a small Bridgewater con. It’s the second price of MLP merchandise I ever received, the first being a set of IDW comics. This was pretty much my peak. Not meaning that in a negative way of course.

Am I even still part of this pony fandom?

I feel like I’m slowly drifting into isolated territories. Far from drama and the people and the, uh, more people.

The wild countryside.

One room mud houses.

With a couch and TV for watching MLP, and a table for drawing a blog based on it.

And a tin-can phone connecting me to other people .2.

Is this even horsedom anymore?

Blah Blah Cursing is Magic

FunFact!

There’s no absolute in-story reason why Sweetie, Scoots, and Rumble curse a shit-ton in Post Crusade. I really can’t explain it. .2.

Also, it’s just them who actively swear out loud; Dinky and Apple Bloom have much cleaner mouths.

The reason they swear coming from my perspective is actually an experience thing. At the tail end of my middle school years, I and my friends started swearing a lot more than usual and thought that it was much cooler than those kiddy swears. So naturally, I’d thought it’d be funny if the post-crusaders had terrible language too.

Also, Rainbow Dash, Twilight, Applejack, and Rarity actively curse as well, just so you know :v
