Hi,

the title pretty much summarizes it all. I'm sorry that I've been so absent during this year. It's already the third month and I've submitted only two pieces. I haven't even replied to any of your comments. I've read them all, and I thank you all for commenting. So thanks and sorry, I hope I haven't insulted anyone by not answering.

I do have a drawing/painting in the making, but I've just been too lazy to do anything with it. I was about to submit it on the day that was exactly year after I joined DeviantART. Kindova "birthday" or how you'd call it. Anyway, it was almost a month ago, so I guess I've been slacking off. Maybe next week. I hope. I'm also working on the third chapter of The Tourist. I hope I'm done also with it next week.

If you want a reason for me to be this lazy, all I can say is that I guess I've just lost my motivation. I haven't done almost anything this year. I'm just too tired to care. Well, I've been sick again. I guess this is the third week on antibiotics. But that almost sounds like a bad excuse. I also have some issues. I still haven't started watching the third season. And I don't know if I will. Every time I think about it I just come up with something more important or interesting to do. So I don't know how to deal with this. I guess I need some time.

No worries, I try to have something ready for next week. I just wanted to tell you that I'm still alive and trying to work.

I'm just a lonely closet brony. I study arts, make music, have my own art projects and every now and then I have the time to draw some pony stuff. I used to have a teeny tiny drinking problem but that's in the past now. I hope so. Anyway, that's the deal with the name.
I use Indian ink and nibs in my works, hatching and cross-hatching is the technique. Watercolors too sometimes. But I want to highlight the fact that I don't work digitally, even though some might think so.

I made a song, go and check it out

I noticed something. Your drawings are perfectly black. Do you use some special ink or do you edit it in a computer program?

My gosh. So, I came for the Zombie-esque comic that was one of today's Daily Deviations (congratulations by the way), but I *stayed* for the awesomely-epic pony art! I love your style! ^___^

I used to have a form of hatred against pony. Then I saw your art. Thanks, your work is really interesting, your fan art or original work are really amazing. And your style, that's the first time I saw that in the pony fandom. Looks like a "serious" one, yet I like that a lot ! Thanks again :meow:

This is bad, I'm going around to everyone that draws any Pony art. Please spread the word, even if you're just a casual fan, this group shouldn't be allowed to get away with this sort of thing. Got this off Doxy's tumblr here: [link]

"If you must know, there is a troll online antibrony group called GNAA actively spoofing the email addresses of Hasbro lawyers and issuing false Cease and Desist notices. They got PurpleKecleon’s “Hot to Trot” doujin pulled, and tried to take down the flash with the special bonus image folio I made at TJA as well (not that it really matters since sales dry up after initial release and I leave leaks alone once they drop off). They have a long history and you can find out about them on Encyclopedia Dramatica, if that’s your thing. The notice sent to doujinpress is not clear if it was a spoof or legit so they are playing it safe.

So the answer is, if you put it somewhere where this kind of thing can be pulled, reported or simply try to cause problems, there are people that really have nothing better to do than to do just that, no matter how insignificant the effect.

I found out about it from a friendly anonymous who knows an ex-GNAA member that this was on the mailing list: [link] I had told no one about the message I got about it from TJA earlier that day so I was pretty damn surprised to see this. There was no other way they could have known; there was no notice on the site or anything. According to their Twitter feed, they’re also taking credit for nuking many clop tumblrs.
I also talked with one of the Hoofbeat artists and he said that they took pseudonyms and do limited print runs at conventions to avoid problems later. Don’t forget, that guy that made the Lyra plush got hit by a C&D as well that was probably unverified.
Even Zone gets real takedown notices from Cartoon Network and Nintendo. You almost have to keep it small in order to fall within parody law and other works. I know that a lot of people won’t have the frame of reference to write about this or even know the details, so that’s why I spoke up.
So that’s something to consider. The more you know.”
