My Guilty Little Secret, and something I think a few ppl on here can identify with

[maggies_lens]

I promise there will be random Thailand photos at some stage very soon. In the mean time I need to admit something. I need to clear the air. It's taken me a few weeks to come to terms with this, so please don't judge too harshly...I....I'm a My Little Pony Friendship is Magic fan. There. I said it. I like this cartoon and I like the stories and I like the animation style. I am also mildly alarmed and amused that the cartoon ponies I have been drawing in my exercise books etc for years look a hell of a lot like the new MLP's. What the HELL? When I get home and have access to HB pencils and an eraser, I will be teaching myself how to draw them. I think my two fav ponies are Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash. I know it's been around, what, 3 years or so? But I never watched it until the flight over here. The movies were boring, they had an episode available to watch so It ought ah what the hell. Now I really, really like it :)
I am 35 years old.
How freaking depressing is THIS?!?!?!? Anyone else suffer this?
Anyway, I was feeling silly yesterday and created my own pony. I personally think she's kind of cute.


I can see the legs are going to be the hardest to draw, I always have issues with getting the level of cute-chunky right. Will have to experiment a little bit with guide-line points and joint references. I have to say I def prefer the new animation style to the old one, this one is going to be a lot easier to draw. I can draw the old style but it's very limiting.

Anyway, now you know my filthy, dirty, nasty little secret :) And hey I saw this, sums me up pretty well, and made me think of a couple of you.




heheheheheee, yeah :)

Um, have you seen the photos of my Pinkie Pie wig yet? And I'm 26. I have Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie (all are Best Pony) on my bedside table ... and a box full of the tiny blind-bag Ponies, which is my happy box. It makes me happy to open it and see all my Ponies. Oh, and I have a massive cuddly Dash who lives on my windowsill and stares ominously at the neighbours.

So absolutely no judging here! Embrace it! I'm so proud. <3

no, no I haven't. Yet :D Do share? Blind-bag? As in you buy a packet but can't see what ponies are in it til you open it? I could totally go for that! Must check out local toy shops :D I now NEED a giant fluffy Fluttershy to intimidate the neighbours.
