Back to School

EDIT: So you know what makes the first week of school eight billion times better? The third chapter of The Successors by is up!!! fav.me/d5e1wqe Go read it! It's awesome!!

Hey everyone!

I know the Equestria Daily Artist's Training Ground ended, like, a week ago but I still wanted to mention it. I really wasn't expecting to be able to do every single theme of the even so I feel really proud of myself that I did. A lot of credit goes to my sister. There were a few themes that I had spent the entire day at work thinking about it and still couldn't come up with anything that would fit the theme and fall into continuity with the previous entries. Then I would come home and tell my sister, she would think about it for a second, then say "Do this, this and this" and it would be perfect and so obvious and then I would feel silly for not thinking of it myself. So, she is pretty much the best. There is a lot of her and me in Aurora and Corona which is part of what makes them so fun for me.

Also, I want to say a big Thank You to everyone who commented, favorited and started watching me during the ATG. Knowing that other people were seeing and enjoying my my work was a real encouragement during the event and a great motivator to finish things off well. So Thank You everyone! You are the best!

So now it's the end of my first week back at school. Summer is over (along with the ATG) and there was much weeping and gnashing of teeth (not really). From the look of things I am going to have my work cut out for me this semester. Seriously. So much work! But it'll be good for me.

In saying that I just wanted you all to know that I am not dead, I'll still be here just posting a lot less. I might put up some of my class work if anyone is interested in seeing that. And I promise there will be more of the Successors, including Ghost and Crackers and probably some new characters as well. So don't panic.

I am still open for commission just know that I will be much slower finishing them than I was over the summer. I had a pretty quick turn around time when I had nothing else to do but that's right out the window now.

I think that's about everything...Yep.
