Collection Update: Canterlot & Playset Ponies

This is a continuation of my last post as I try to catch up with all of the ponies in my collection.

Rarity's Carousel Boutique came with a walking pose Rarity and a bonus pony Sweetie Swirl

There was also a set called Fun at the Fair that introduced Applebloom and a reissued Sweetie Belle.

The Canterlot line of pony toys was a Target Exclusive and Starbeam Twinkle came as a bonus pony with a cardboard castle.

And I finally got a Princess Luna

And I can't forget the Fashion Style Fluttershy I got for christmas

And that makes me mostly caught up. Wave 4 will get it's own post later this week.

Collection Update: Waves 1-3

I just noticed how very far behind I am on covering the ponies in my herd. So I think it's time to do a little recap.

To date I own:


Wave 1 These ponies are called the "mane" six. Sweetie is a more minor character.
Twilight Sparkle
Rarity
Fluttershy
Rainbow Dash
Applejack
Pinkie Pie

Sweetie Belle

And the best pony of the "mane" 6 is...

Wave 2 This wave was rather small and had a lot of distribution problems
Cheerilee
Lily Blossom

And Lily Blossom is pretty unique as in the US she is the only pony that was released that did not get box art that was a recolor of one of the "mane" six.

Wave 3
Blossomforth
Cupcake/
Dewdrop Dazzle
Lulu Luck

My favorite pony from this set is Dewdrop Dazzle. I guess I'm a sucker for blue ponies.

More ponies coming later this week.

Birthday Ponies Part 2

My friend Molly over at Molly-olly-oxen-free! Drew me a wonderful fluttershy for my birthday! Go check her out as she is one of the nicest people I have ever met. And her brother is a brony too.

Now time to go open some more blind bag ponies!

Birthday Ponies Part 1

It's my birthday Thursday and no birthday of mine is complete without some ponies!

My super awesome pony tolerating fiance bought me a Blossomforth as mine seems to have disappeared somewhere. (I know I had two, so where did it go?)

And my fabulous co-worker spotted some blind bag ponies in walmart remembered my birthday was coming up and grabbed me a few.

I even ordered myself a new pony shirt to celebrate the awesomeness of me getting a bit older than I would like to admit.

Thursday I open all of my blind bag ponies!

PS did you notice I updated the banner?

Jayson Thiessen at AOD

Guess who met Jayson Thiessen this weekend at Animation on Display in San Francisco?

Recapping an entire two-day convention would be a bit of a challenge, so I'll just point out some interesting things.

1. Jayson confirmed the baby on the ceiling to be a Trainspotting reference.
2. Intro to bronies panel will inevitably have essentially no new bronies. Generally, you are better off doing a fan panel.
3. One mention of Smile Smile Smile and it will be stuck in your head for days.
4. The episodes are not built around the lesson/letter and the entire process is much more organic than I believed.


And lastly....

I know a couple of people asked him to autograph multiple things (he claimed he was getting very good at signing tiny ponies) but I rally didn't want to be greedy so I just asked him to sign my Derpy ATC art.





Sorry for the slower updates. I've just been a bit busy but things should be getting back to normal soon. Some things to look forward to are new toys, a new spring banner, and my birthday!

Fanfiction Friday!

I was talking with another pony fan the other day when I mentioned I did not read much pony fanfiction. Of course later this week I opened google docs and noticed just how many fanfics I have read. I guess those small amounts really add up over time.


Rainbow Secret by *Don-KomandoRR on deviantART

A Terrible Secret by Sword of Squirrels was one of the first fanfics that I came across and really connected with. The premise, as suggested by the above image is that Rainbow Dash's main isn't quite what it appears to be.

I know this one is a bit of an older fic, but if you haven't read it yet I would very much recommend checking it out.

Hearts And Hooves Day

Happy Hearts and Hooves Day Everypony!

This blog post is dedicated to a little girl named Lucy who loves the new My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic show. Her mom contacted me through a art website and asked if I could draw some ponies for her daughter by Valentines Day.

Her favorite ponies are Rainbow Dash

I wish this one was a little better. I am still learning to work with the ink and something just feels "off" though I can't quite place it.

Lucy also likes Princess Celestia

I know most adults are iffy about glitter on ATC cards, but I couldn't resist giving the princess some extra sparkly hair.

In exchange for my art Lucy's mom sent me some cards with Pinkie Pie and Rainbow dash.

They also included a coloring picture of Fluttershy (my favorite) and Lucy also drew me a super pretty Princess Celestia!
