If you can read this, then please understand whatever I am wanting to say on here.

I know I’ve been lacking a lot of art lately, but I have a lot more to do in real life than on here. And real life stuff did struck me at some point. I’m not happy with how I’ve been doing with progression through art. Cause life comes first, but stress is what cuts in front of life for me.

 

The only thing that’s gotten me to relax and have a moment in peace was going to Bronycon this year (yep, I went). Getting to me my buds in person for the first time was a good feeling I’ve never felt for so long, and it felt like it was truly the happiest time I’ve ever had. It’s good to feel that way, and it’s just what I needed.

 

It was unfortunate enough that when I came back from my trip, it was sudden that already work started to fuck up the very start of my new week. Y’know what they say ‘careful what you wish for’. Thing is I finally got to move to a new store of the same company I am still working with. The work there is just as bad as I had it before from a previous store. I’ve been nagged at and critiqued from the very start that I just started working at this new place, and it really set a bad vibe for me. The money is good so far, but the stress really doesn’t make it feel like it’s worth going through. I need the money more so for college and to get a brand new car, cause my current car has been giving me so much hell. So life is gonna be a bit of a bitch for how much that’ll keep me busy…

 

That leads to how I do things on here now…

 

I don’t feel accomplished of how I do art. I’m grateful that I can doodle, cause I love to art. I remember the time I couldn’t do digital art, and I watched a lot of other artists I’ve enjoyed. Always hoped to make art like others, the day I picked up a digital tablet made a difference to me. Sadly, it’s just the time and lack of confidence that kind of turns my head away a bit from actually trying to work on some art. Work and college, also burns it out of me to work on it…

 

I’ve had thoughts, of what it would take to work and develop more with my artwork… if it required that I should quit college and work altogether. I know some artists who don’t work or go to school and rely on their artwork for their funding’s, but I’m sure that it’s not as easy to keep active with art as well that way… I still work and will be going to my next semester in college, cause life does come first.

 

I was afraid of saying I should quit art, but it’s something I do enjoy. It’s just something that I feel anyone on here won’t see as much. Please bear with me everyone, I do have a lot of ideas I want to work on, but very little time. It’s just a matter of how time works with me.

 

If you’ve made it this far into my journal, I’ve been asked a lot for requests… guys. It clearly says on my page I don’t do requests. Can you please stop asking? I don’t have the time for requests… even telling me suggestions, is basically a request. IT just gives the person who suggested the benefit of what they’re wanting… if no one is reading that I don’t do requests, they will be ignored. I’m tired of getting that question…

 

Again just bear with me, I haven’t gave up on art, but it’s just gonna be a bit slow for me to make stuff when I’m able to.

If you’ve made it this far, then I appreciate the time taken upon reading this.

 

Thanks guys.

The quicker time goes, the shorter life becomes. ;-;

Kidding, I don't wanna think much about that, but now I'm 23. I just thought I'd make this a journal after getting a lot of messages from everyone wishing me a happy birthday, and I do say, thank you everyone.

I'm not the best at making art, but I try the best I can for those that like my art. I'm glad you guys appreciate it, even though I may not be the most productive artist.

Even for my friends, it means a lot to have you met you and to know you for whether we just started or known for the longest time now, I'm happy to have you guys.

Again, thank you everyone so much. I hope time slows down a little. XD

I’m a bit late with the New Year that is 2018, as 2017 is all over now. I’ve also lacked a bit on updates or announcements as to how am I doing and probably makes people wonder how my art will be like for this year as well as so forth.

 

The past year for me was very stressful, as I’ve been struggling not just to fend for myself in my college work, but also still trying to keep you guys entertained with my artwork as well. I’ve had a rough past semester, and have been critically thinking of what to take next. Another class I haven’t tried, or work on the ones I’ve failed on. I have somewhat of a goal that involves the hoping idea that I can finish up with college as soon as possible. That doesn’t mean I’ll bombard myself with four to god knows how many fucking classes. I can barely handle as much as three, I’d rather tone it back down to two, until I’m more productive and confident to tackle many more. Taking less classes might be a slow and hectic time for me as I go to school, but if I pass on, then I’ll pitch in for more. Will this slow down my art, oh yeah. My life comes first, before art my dudes.

 

Aside from school and art, I also work as a pizza delivery driver. Surprisingly a fun and sweet job, better than any other job I’ve ever had, but even that isn’t enough. I don’t bound to count on commissioning you guys in order to keep myself on track with some bills or important shit like that, but I have some slight announcements of how you guys watch my art will also help me out as well.

 

I don’t count my art as a job, but the time and work I put myself through to provide it to you guys comes with a deal. I’ve had several ideas in mind as I work on some art, I will be making something called ‘art packs’

 

You may know or heard it being mentioned in one of my polls. I’ve seen some votes were negative or positive last time I checked, but either way it’s something I wish to do for this year, depending on how much art I’d be able to make for it. I plan to release another journal post sometime when possible explaining the details of how the art packs are going to work. To give a hint with what I mean by art packs, is something that requires a bit of funding.

 

I do hope for this year providing me a more better time than last. I’ve had my downs, but many ups as well in 2017, but 2018 is an adventure just beginning for me. I’ve made several cheesy resolutions that I never got to do last year, but with the opportunities that I have now, some of them are still one of my goals to do. I plan to go to a few pony cons (certain two of them), to first ever build a gaming PC, and hopefully to pass my classes this year. There are many other things I wanna work on and strive for this year, but I feel like that’s all to say with how much I’ve put into this post.

 

Also, probably one of my goals, is to keep you guys updated with some news of whatever I feel is worth mentioning of.

I appreciate it if you spent the time to read my post, and I will gladly upload again sometime soon. Thank you all.

I've not kept any updates with these, and I'm sorry, and I say sorry cause I feel that keeping journal postings up to date is important since you guys love seeing my work and such. Understand that I am more busier than I've ever been.

I got a good job since summer, but my truck is slowly becoming unbearable to drive a bit. It's the point in life that I'm gonna need to get a new car at some point, cause mines already reached over 100,000 in mileage. And when getting a new car, one thing I'm not looking forward to is the car payments.

I love my job so far, and so far I'm saving up money to go to a Ponycon for the second time. Also, I am still continuing throughout college, trying to focus on the easier classes and saving the toughest for last.

My art tends to shift from slow to fast, but now things are only about to get more hectic. If you guys are patient throughout, know that I haven't quit on my art. I love doing what I do, and I will work and post what I can whenever I have the chance again and again. I may update information on commissions a bit, and remember that I still do them. Even art trades guys. However if I put a halt on over these things, understand that I may be overwhelmed with activity during the time.

It feels great knowing you guys enjoy what I draw and care about the person that draws all this stuff as well.

Thanks for understanding guys, keep an eye out, and until the next posting, take care.

Rules:
1. Post these rules
2. Post 8 facts about your character.
3. Tag 8 other characters.
4. Post their names along with their creator’s names.

1) Midnight Dawn is a shy pony, but in times of danger, she remains vigilant and takes caution when she undergoes dangerous situations.
2) Midnight Dawn was once in the Royal Guard, but not as a soldier. She was part of the rescue unit until Luna's return, she transferred over to the Lunar Guard.
3) Her main weapon/gadget is a wrist strapped tendril. Shiny in it's metallic coating, but as squish and long as that of an actual snake tail/tentacle, her main weapon of choice for restraining or capturing wanted targets and enemies.
4) In her free when she isn't on duty, Dawn enjoys foalsitting, spending time with her friends, and learning to sew or make clothing (she'd basically be learning from Rarity).
5) Midnight Dawn lives nearby Canterlot, but not within the city itself. Her home is pretty much at nearby cliff up in the mountains by the city, where it is more quieter and peaceful.
6) Despite being a rescuer in the guard, Dawn is capable of handling her own surprisingly... however, more or less, she overdoes it and gets caught in situations where she is in need of rescuing.
7) Midnight Dawn fears anything made of styrofoam.
8) Midnight Dawns biggest creation is just her own special weapon the wrist strapped tendril she uses. With that ability, she is partially a mechanic mare as she can fix most electronic or gear worked machinery. She doesn't consider herself much as a scientist or engineer but knows how to fix things.

The tagging sickness stops here, so no tags now.
