Hello! I have been drawing ponies since 2013, and participating in a zine solely based on my artistic inspiration for years makes everything come full circle. I have been drawing all of my life, but MLP was a real catalyst for my art and gave me the drive to continue to improve. Nowadays, I typically enjoy content in the MLP fandom that involves the villains, AUs, and the occasionally super cute art.

What's up? I'm Tommy, I've loved these colorful horses since I was super little and I'm not planning on stopping anytime soon. MLP has always been a big part of my life, and I'm excited to be able to show my love for it in this zine! I'm an artist with some experience in graphic design, and I dabble in writing and music. I love fantasy creatures, designing characters, baking, and pony-fying every single character I like. Nothing is safe from the magic of friendship.

I am a 24 year old artist who has been creating since I can remember! I use a wide variety of mediums but I tend to specialize in digital art, although I'm currently attending an art college to further hone my skills as well as broaden my horizons! I do a lot of character focused work and recently have been focusing on a lot of dynamic posing and character interaction.

Heya, I'm a self-taught digital art hobbyist from the UK who decided a few years ago to stop thinking about making and start actually making. I like working on whatever takes my fancy at any given time - usually expressive, character-driven pieces that often end up outstripping my ability. I started drawing ponies completely on a whim around 8 months ago, and I've been a little bit obsessed with it since - and I just can't stop drawing Trixie. I aspire to one day get a few fan comics out there, but for now I'm just trucking along, one picture at a time.
