Greetings everyone,

As I'm sure none of you have really noticed, I have removed Kurenai - Prologue from my Gallery. There was a reason for that, other than it was weird. I just moved it to my other account, which I'll be doing with all of my non-pony stuff that's important. So as things change, nobody panic.


Cheers!

So I know I've been more than a little MIA, which all have their excuses. If I had a death hoax you can calm down and rejoice! Nah I'm not famous. Haha.

In other news, I manage two accounts now, the second of which is not going to contain any pony material. Instead, :iconedwynnstryker: EdwynnStryker will be used for sketches, general doodles/drawings, and perhaps original fictions and such. We'll have to see, as always!

For now, though, I have a pony in progress beginning later today, at some point. Don't expect it tonight, but it could happen! I'll be taking my time with this for various reasons, all of which good!

Cheers!

Hello everyone!

I've been off for a /long/ time, and I am /very/ sorry about that. Oodles of things keeping me busy.

However, I'm hoping to get back into it and do some drawings, get back into the groove and all that jazz, so keep your eyes open for like, requests and such if I open 'em. (Trust me, you'll know.) Until those open, however, I do have a couple of pictures that I need to get done already, a request I've had since last year (And promptly forgot about, and it's kinda complex), and another I got Idunnohowlongago an'all, so keep them eyes peeled for them.

Otherwise, I'll be working on my fic, yes, THAT fic, Dark Side of the Moon, as I've recently picked up a few ideas for it. I'll also be working on flushing out Kyth's backstory as it stands now, because she most definitely needs it. So many continuity errors that can be avoided. Both of those will be on my FimFiction account. For those of you that don't /know/ my FimFiction account name, it's the same as here, so just go look it up. (DSM is good, by the way. ;D)

Anyway! I'm getting back into it and all that badassery, sorry for being behind (Understatement), and thank you all fo rbeing patient and not nugging me to find out what the hell was wrong. x3

Stick around, and /enjoy/, as I always say during a set.

Alright

So, now that I've been back nearly a month and still haven't gotten jack diddly squat done except practice League, it's time to crack down on ponies. Here's how this all is gonna go:

First, Art: I've got commissions closed already, until further notice, but am still taking requests. There won't be waiting lists, or a max per week anymore. Just get them in to me, and I'll finish them as soon as I'm able. I'll try to be more active here as best I can (if you have ideas on how you think I could do that, please, feel free to send me a comment here or a note, depending on what's easier for you, and how long it is.)

Youtube: I've been heavily inactive, in both videos of my drawing, and my videos with ClapperCreations, the latter we're both to blame (we're both laaaazy sometimes. xD Love you 'Drew. :P). I've also got a Spyro the Dragon playthrough I started forever ago that I want to finish, that I feel like you guys would enjoy, so I'll get around to that soon enough.

Tumblr: I'll be posting more of my actual art instead of just reblogging random-ass crap off-and-on here and there. (I know it's hard, but I'll manage! Though a few reblogs will spill through because hilarity.)

Season 4: I've yet to watch any but the first four episodes of this, and I've chosen not to because I've got mixed feelings about what I've seen so far. However, out of precedent (and Fandom Fridays) I really should just go through and watch them, just so I can do my work here better.

Any requests I have open currently (i found out I actually have a few from a long time ago. >..>), will be finished as soon as humanly possible, those have top-priority, so any new requests will be put after them. Please bear with me on that. :)

My time is often consumed by games, and here's my explanation on each of those for you below:

League of Legends: I've recently put together a team who's currently recruiting new people as we practice, so I'm intent on finishing this team (we only need two more people!) before too long so we can get to work. Please note that this isn't just some casual team, we have real intent on qualifying for LCS next year, so wish us luck.

Second Life: I just do RPs on there off-and-on, so bleh. :P

Tera Rising: On Tera's RP server, Celestial Hills, I run a guild that has regular, important events that happen every weekend, usually on Sundays, so I don't have much time between 7 and 9 PM my time to do much, so I'm usually not available during that time.

As for other, more important things:

I just quit my job three weeks ago or so, quite contently, so I'm out my income for a while. thankfully, Mum has offered me a chance at where she works for low pay, but I don't spend much money, so it'll be really good for my wallet. It will probably be pretty close to a 9 to 5 job, so I'll be unavailable most weekdays to do much, but my weekends will be more free.

Other than that, I should be fine to do my work on here and with my art, and you shouldn't worry about me and my absences. Real sorry about those, just been busy.

Enjoy!
