Ever since coming to college I'm sure you've noticed I've pretty much abandoned this account. I'm just so busy nowadays that its hard to keep up.
I've also been unhappy with the art that's been piling up here. Frankly, its a mess and I cant keep it straight. Recent art gets mixed up with art thats like four years old and I dont even know whats what anymore.
So I've decided to start a new account with ONLY my stuff from college on it. This account will stay open with all my high school work, and there's still a few things i have to upload here. But if you're looking for my college work, you're going to have to head here: :iconparadoxidia: 
I'm currently training to be a Game Art and Animation major, so expect some pretty cool stuff to go up there in the next few years! But dont expect a lot of communication from me. I'm SO BUSY it's crazy. I kind of just want to use DA as a storage bank and showcase from now on rather than a social media site.
So, thanks to everyone that's stuck with me these three crazy years, and if you feel like sticking around still, come join me over at my other account for another four!
See you!

BuckingAwesomeArt is doing a livestream tonight, and as a part of it I will be digitally coloring a picture of Octavia from MLP. If anyone would like to tune in, say hi, watch me draw, or listen to us goof off, feel free to stop by! I will update again when the livestream has ended.
Link to the livestream channel is below.

Hello everyone! It's been eons. I still owe a lot of you your requests, and dont worry, next week i'll be scanning stuff and drawing stuff and uploading stuff so much that your minds will all be blown. And I'll be responding to comments and messages and such, too. So yay!
I've actually been busy with a lot of art-related stuff, but most of it is over at BuckingAwesome. Which leads me to my next point. I'm not going to be uploading any pony stuff here anymore, unless I do a request event and one of you guys requests a pony. Its better for business (and for my sanity, uploading things twice sucks) if all my pony-related art is on that account. The pony stuff that's already on this account i'll move to scraps.
So, what's next art-wise? I've been working on a series of full-body characters to practice figure drawing, character design, proportions, and digital coloring. None of them are done yet, but i'll be throwing the linearts in a sketchdump eventually. I'll be busy with a lot of pony stuff, too, since Bronycon is in a few months, so keep tabs on the BA account if you want to see that!

Now, for something a bit more personal. I graduated high school yesterday! I was tenth in a class of 400 people, the third to receive my diploma, and this fall I will be attending Champlain College in Burlington, Vermont on practically a full ride scholarship. There, I will be studying writing, drawing, graphic arts, and japanese. If i sound like I'm boasting, well, I sorta am. I'm proud of my achievements! i deserve to boast a little, no?
Anyways, I had the time of my life this week celebrating with my friends and the rest of the class of 2013, and will continue to at the crazy amount of grad parties I'm heading to. :iconinksashes: , :icondinopants174: , :iconlordoftape: , :iconcocoachocopowder: , and :iconfallpastlogic: are some of my fellow graduates and best friends that I celebrated with, so if you get the chance go ahead and tell them congrats. :icondinopants174: was even our valedictorian, so give him extra congrats!
I'm looking forward to college and the new friends I'll make there, but it's hard to say goodbye to these guys and everyone else I've known in my time here. I'm gonna be sure to have a lot of fun this summer with them!
That's all I have to say about my life. For those of you still in school right now, HA and also stay strong. It will be over soon enough. Keep doing what you're doing and chat me up if you're bored.
Talk to you all soon! Onwards and Upwards!

EQD and PoNYcon

2 min read
Wow, thanks EQD for featuring my work not once but three times today! I feel extremely honored, especially since I only actually submitted one piece to you today (and it was on the BuckingAwesomeArt account, not this account). It really made my day to sit down after 11 hours of working on keychains to find that my work was being appreciated :).
I've been working very hard this week to try and get everything done for Saturday, which is the beginning of PoNYcon. For you new watchers out there who don't know, I'm going as a part of BuckingAwesomeArt to sell my keychains. It will be a long, hungry, sleepless trip, but it's going to be so worth it :D. I just know I'm going to have a great time, and I can't wait to meet those of you who are going!
I've been working super hard to get ready, making about 200 keychains of 12 characters as well as 40 magnets, meeting with the group to discuss travel, display, accommodations, and all the other fine points of selling at this fine con of ours. I've also updated both BuckingAwesomeArt and this account, which has taken awhile. Watching Dragonball and Season 3 of MLP is all that's keeping me going at this point, hahahahaha. In addition, this will be the last journal I write before the con.
So if you're headed to PoNYcon, come find me and say hi! I'll be vending with Bucking Awesome Art, dressed as Octavia.
And thanks again to EQD! I can't even express how happy you made me today :D
