A fine choice! I too have purchased this for my phone.
Which is good, because without it my ear-worm for tonight would be a parody song about Pete Hegseth.

Soundtrack for my flight back to Washington~
It may surprise those who know me well (so just @silverquill.bsky.social at this point) but I have been OBSESSED with this song. I’ve been playing it on loop all week!

I haven't done a lot of shading in Illustrator, nor done much with ponies. It's been fun to try this out on Luna, which I hope to make part of a larger piece.

Attempt #2 at giving alicorn Sunny a different mane style. The last version had too many strands, so I'm trying something more tapered. In the process, I learned a nifty trick to do some simple shading.

Was never a fan of Sunny's mane in Alicorn form. I'd like to see it more flowing, but not like Celestia or Luna.
Here's attempt #1.

Given how messed up everything is right now, I think Minty's got the right idea.
But I'm in Colorado, and did a road trip to Florida back in July. My soul still trembles at the memories of Kansas' length.
I'm gonna have to keep my fingers crossed that flights will be available.

That's about 14 hours of driving. That's a little long, but it's doable.
I did the math, it's actually cheaper than flying, somehow.

Been working on a Sunny design since tonight's stream. Really struggling with the shape of her muzzle.
So, good ol' voting time. A or B?

Friendly reminder: Daylight Savings ends this weekend. Tonight, we fall back an hour.
And yet, despite this welcome extra hour, I feel so dang weird throughout the rest of the week!

Appreciate everyone's feedback on the last Twilight manestyle post! I got one more set because I thought, "Why limit myself to Celestia's swooping mane?"
Let me know which option you like most or if there's a blend that sounds fun.

So, I'm not a big fan of Twilight's full-grown design. Primarily the mane. So I'm trying some ideas out for an alternate style.
Which do you prefer? A or B?

No-no-no! You can't invoke that title in a fantasy series I'm enjoying!
Though I do have a twisted nostalgia for the days leading up to that Game of Thrones episode. Having read the books, I waited to see how people would react the following Monday.

Did a little more work on Twilight's evolution from crowning to growing into the next Equestrian ruler. Upon the advice of @mintyroot.bsky.social, I tried a more stylized, rounded mane style before her powers grow to the point where she just has to let it flow freely.

I am so very envious of Kamen Rider Zeztz's protagonist, Baku Yorozu.
He as the greatest superpower of all: the ability to go to sleep in just a few minutes!
Sooooooo envious!

Without getting into the reasons behind this, I did a test of Stan Bush's "The Touch" against the combining sequence for the heroic mecha, GaoGaiGar.
I only made two edits to the video portion, but it's amazing how closely they sync up.

Day's almost done and I haven't been part of the rapture. There are two possible explanations, one of which I do not enjoy.

Finally saw “K-Pop Demon Hunters”, and I see why everyone is singing its praises.
But I think I’m not in the right headspace to fully appreciate it. So much terrible news, it’s really having an impact.
So I’ll just have to watch it again, later.

I'm not dismissing the grief of the past week, but I also think we need to remember other people caught up in violence.
Weston Halsne's friend, Victor, used his own body as a shield against gunfire. Shouldn't a young man this brave receive some recognition?

Minneapolis Catholic school shooting survivor describes how friend saved his life: "I'm praying for you"
"My friend Victor like, saved me though. Because he laid on top of me. But he got hit," said fifth grade student Weston Halsne. "I was super scared for him. But I think now he's OK."
