EDIT -- All right, I am offering a ONE WEEK Extension. If I do not receive at LEAST 5 different entries, then I'm afraid I will have to cancel the contest. Otherwise it's not much of a contest now is it? so ONE WEEK FROM TODAY, so July 2nd!
I need a new ponysona. If you saw my latest poll, you had a heads up. I love Nina, but I've felt detatched from her ever since the hurricane episode with the background ponies who had lavander fur and silver manes. Like Nina does. I cried. Swear to god I designed her months before that episode, but OH WELL. I'm just not feeling her. So, I'd like you, good people, to design me a new ponysona. But I'm not asking you to do it for free. Yes, as a prize, you will receive a custom pony on my sillyfilly base, similar to those recently submitted for art trades. You will ALSO receive the rights to use EVERY PONY BASE I HAVE MADE TO DATE, including the elegant base and the poofy base. AND YOU WILL ALSO get to rights to use a super cool BRAND NEW BASE THAT HAS NOT YET BEEN RELEASED. But trust me it's adorable, and I'll post it as soon as I am done. What's so special about this base? Aside from the winner of the contest, I will NOT be posting this new base for sale! Aside from special circumstances, only the contest winner and myself will be allowed to use it. ovo Isn't that exciting? I can also negotiate prizes if there is something you really want from me <3
So, no doubt you want the details now. On then! Here's some do's and don'ts, likes and dislikes for my pony characters~
This pony can be male or female, but I prefer unspecified to be honest. <3
The pony can be any type of pony EXCEPT alicorn.
I would prefer that no cutie mark be included unless you have a really great idea for one.
Things I like --
Fetlocks (fluffy hooves)
Long manes
Fluffy manes
Dreadlocks
Extra legs
Extra eyes
Monster ponies in general
Accessories
Super bright accent colors/lots of colors
OR very simple palettes
cloven hooves
Beauty marks
Generally somewhat derpy designs
Shiny thingsssss
Odd horns (on unicorns)
sheep ponies! //i.e. fluffy, curly-horned sheep but like mlp ponies or ponies that look like sheep? i am a dork ignore this
Things I do not like --
Black/red color combinations
Over complicated markings
Bows/ribbons (at least not on my ponysona)
Flat cut manes
Super plain designs (i mean come on try to make it interesting/original)
Dresses
Facial hair
Now, for the love of Celestia, do not try and combine all of my likes into a single pony. That would be horrendous. And by all means, feel free to make something completely outside of all these things! Create something col and original, THEN GIVE IT TO ME LOL.
Ok now for some rules.
o1. Once a design is entered, you grant me all rights to use it, change it, and do whatever the hell i want with it if it wins.
o2. Once entered, you may NOT WITHDRAW YOUR ENTRY.
o3. You may enter as many designs as you like!
o4. If you do not win the design still belongs to you, and you may do what you want with it.
o6. Prizes are negotiable. If you would rather have more customs/points/whatever than the bases that can be arranged.
o5. Have fun! I'll update this journal entry AND the new base deviation if there are any changes or updates to the rules! Just link your entry here to enter! 8> I look forward to seeing what you come up with!
END DATE IS Two weeks from this update!
Personal Update
Howdy folks. Just wanted to give a little heads up, primarily to those who are waiting on commissions from me. I'd like to apologize on the extended delay. I'm doing my best to recover and resume work, but to be frank, life has not been kind to me lately. I have been suffering from clinical burnout for the better part of the last year, to the point that I could barely function. Just as I reached my breaking point there, I received word of my mothers sudden passing. She raised me by herself, so this was a massive personal loss for me. This also came on the heels of a shoulder injury that has been inhibiting my work for the last several months, and now this weekend my partner and I have contracted covid. I don't mean to use these circumstances as an excuse, but as an explanation. Right now I'm very much at the end of my rope. I really sincerely appreciate everyones continued patience with me during this time. And to be clear, no one has been rude or demanding in regards to the wait! I
A PSA to young artists
Hey there folks! I don’t usually do things like this, but since coming back to DA I have been unpleasantly reminded of some of the less rosey sides to this website. Since returning I’ve gotten several different mass messages asking me to contribute free art to various projects, zines, etc. I generally leave these unread, as I have a full time job and don’t have any interest in pursuing my art being published. Plenty of folks are happy to contribute to these when they have the time and resources. I don’t mind folks reaching out about them. What I do mind is when folks use these messages to try and pressure young, developing artists to value themselves, their time, and their work, less. Young artists all over - but ESPECIALLY here on DA, where there is such a saturation of artists - criminally undersell themselves. I see folks not even paying themselves a minimum wage hourly for their work. I believe artists of all skill levels deserve to be paid fairly for their time, work, and
Eclipse purchase buttons?
All the purchase buttons on my pay to use bases seem to have vanished with eclipse. Does anyone know if I need to change something to reinstate them, or are those just.... no longer a thing with eclipse? (I tried to post this as a status update but apparently I can’t backspace in status updates only type lmfao what a world) UPDATE: OKAY SO APPARENTLY if you want to buy a base from me now, you have to leave the deviation with the base you like and instead go to my page, click on my shop tab, scroll through everything I have for purchase there, and buy it from THAT page instead. As opposed to just.... clicking the purchase button on that base.
Retiring Pony Bases
Hey guys, I just wanted to give y’all a heads up that I’ll likely be retiring a lot of my pony bases (both p2u and f2u) in the next couple of weeks. I’ll leave some of the newer ones up, but most of the older ones will be taken down, so if you want them, now is the time to grab them or make sure you have the files. Basically just a long overdue cleanup. A lot of those older lines are work I’m not really proud of anymore and I don’t really like seeing them everywhere or dealing with the problems that crop up when file issues happen, since I don’t have access to the original files anymore.
Im glad folks have

Extend it one more week? I'll post a journal encouraging more entries. It just sucks being the only one to enter.
