Today is MLP: FiM’s 15th anniversary! I remember my experience with the show being that I had first heard of it around 2011-2012. I was a kid back then, and I just brushed it off as “stupid girl crap”. Later, in 2016, I decided to give it a try. I put on the first episode, and I wasn’t impressed. Later on, in 2018, I found a video on YouTube of a girl roleplaying Fluttershy, then I fell deeper in the pony rabbit hole, which led me to rewatching episode 1 again… followed by episode 2… then 3… then 4. Before I knew it, I was hooked! I started going on YouTube and watching fan animations, PMVs, analysis videos, etc. Eventually, in 2019, I told my family I liked MLP. So now I could openly buy pony merch. So that’s my pony story.
Right now, I’m in the MLP and Vocaloid fandoms.
Sometimes I look at other people’s art on here, and I see AMAZING digital art always being shared. Meanwhile, I’m posting hand-drawn artwork of various characters. Sometimes I think “I wish my art looked as good as theirs”. Then I sit back and realize “as long as I’m happy with how my art looks, that’s all that matters. My art isn’t the best, and that’s okay”.
For a while, I’ve been posting my art on both here and DeviantArt. However, I’m kind of getting sick of DeviantArt. Mainly because they keep trying to push AI art on me. The worst part isn’t that there’s AI art on DA though. The worst part is that the people on there who do make it REFUSE to tag it, no matter how many times you tell them to. And plus, I think the community on here is way better than DA’s. All of this to say I think I’ll try posting art exclusively on here for a while.
