Ugh all of my drawings are all stretched and not showing right... so ugly thread...
Anyway, I made a new off topic drawing to share with you lot.
Yeah, most of y'all are prolly already aware that I have had the plot twist of my life, whereby I somehow came to like the ponies... I had disliked the show before, having seen a few episodes and never thought I would like it. But recently, I became more stressed than I ever had been before. So much so that I felt like giving up on everything and didn't really know what to do. I remembered Regulus had told me that the show helped him to deal with stress. I had never judged him for liking it, but I had never understood either. After fighting with my girlfriend and my family a lot due to this stress, I was desperate for something, anything, and so, remembering what he had said, I decided to give it a second chance.
I started the first episode and cringed in preparation for the theme song, which had greatly annoyed me in the past, and when it started, I found it was much less annoying this time around. Intrigued, I watched on. Now I'm nearly to the end of Season 1, and to be honest, while I still don't like the rabidity of the fandom in some places, the show has really grown on me. The characters all have to deal with a lot of the same kinds of stress as I do, and somehow watching them overcome it and continue being happy helps me to be more happy, even though my problems aren't going away. At first I was ashamed of this newfound liking, but it has helped my mood a lot, and so I decided to embrace it--somewhat at least.
I feel more like it's okay if I do my best and fail now, though that still worries me... At any rate, this show somehow, miraculously, against my expectations, restored my sanity and is helping me to cope with life. So I found a pony maker and created myself a ponysona. Then I tried to draw her myself and this is the result... well.
MLP style is hard for me to draw. I'll have to try to recreate the style I drew Rainbow Dash in a while back, or come up with a new one.
