Hi all, no time to write something substantial here – number f things piled up and now I’ve only got a couple of hours before I have to get up for work.
See you Friday!

Hullo folks, just a quick post today – I’m afraid I’ve been ground down a fair bit this evening with politics and people scoring cheap shots. Between the looming possibility of President Trump and the constant siege Scottish pro-independence supporters seem to be under from the government and the media… It amazes me how we have survived as a species when we have shown ourselves to be so resistant to change, so unprogressive, so utterly tribal, greedy, and vile a species. The ratio of times I am impressed with our achievements versus times I wish we had a reset button keeps on getting smaller and more depressing.
I promised you a couple of articles – one silly, and one a bit more serious. This is the silly one.
After much study and academic thought, I hereby declare Friendship is Magic’s Princess Luna as Best Pony. Why, you ask? Because she strikes an almost perfect balance between being impressive and insecure.
I mean, yes, she is a living goddess who could enslave all of Equestria to do her bidding – but she doesn’t exercise that in the present. Rather, the time in the past when she reigned as a dark queen was marked as the result of jealousy and an ill-deserved sense of inferiority. And who hasn’t been in the position where they have done something they regret because they felt they were being neglected or underappreciated?
Hullo everybody! Welp, that’s the festive season over and done with for another year. Time for me to start looking forward to summer now, and plotting barbecues and trips away and the like.
What I’ll also be doing is realigning my creative workstream with my work regime, now that things are settling down a bit. I did enjoy my little post-work writing sessions in the cafe, and I’d love to get back to doing that. Especially as I picked up a short story I’d first-drafted in the cafe a good long while back. I’d forgotten just how poignant the ending was (if I do say so myself).
Welp, I don’t know about you guys, but I’m definitely going to be using my week(ish) off at Christmastime to reset my sleep pattern and adjust my workload. Probably going to do as the doc says and get some more, regular exercise in, to improve stamina and concentration – if you look really closely at the last few pages, you can see odd lines of lineart or shading here and there. That’s where I’ve fallen asleep, scrawled across the page, and somehow not caught it later.
We just got in from our work night out, where we went and saw The Force Awakens, so I’ll keep this brief before staggering off to my well-deserved bed:
IT WAS AWESOME! GO SEE IT!
I’ll maybe do a more in-depth review next week, but if you have time this weekend, I’d definitely recommend going out and catching the film! You will not regret it!
All the best for now!

Hi folks! I’d just like to take this opportunity to apologise again for the shambles I made of last week’s uploads – Should’ve been better organised, but I managed to somehow navigate myself into a perfect storm of post-holiday tiredness, handover work and extra work that absolutely had to be done.
Anyway, I’ll do my very best to make sure it doesn’t happen again. In the meantime, I shall see you again on Friday!

Hullo everyone, just a quick post today as it’s massively, MASSIVELY late right now and I still have yet more stuff to do! It never ends, truly!
Anyway, hope you all have a great weekend, and I’ll catch you all on Monday!
Toodles!

Aloha troops! As the post title indicates, I have a query to ask of you. But first! Some background. I’m heading back down to Manchester briefly soon, and due to terrible foresight and planning, I’m going to have to make one of the upcoming Elf Blood pages a pinup (which takes less time to illustrate than a full page).
Normally I just pick a character and illustrate them wearing or doing something interesting, but this time, since I know in advance that I’ll need to do one, I thought I’d offer you guys the chance to let me know what you’d like to see in that one-off illustration! Is there a character, or maybe a couple of characters you enjoy seeing interacting? Somebody that you’ve not seen in a while, and would be interested in seeing how my evolved art-style will render them? A character who’s been killed off, but whom you quite liked and wouldn’t mind seeing again?
And thus ends The Child story arc!
Hopefully you enjoyed it – it was a little more action-oriented than my usual fare, which was quite entertaining to draw. Most importantly though, I feel that I’ve improved my artwork throughout this arc. I actually took the time to learn a little bit about color-coordination, and while it’s still not perfect, I’ve definitely got a better look going now. I’ll still probably tweak it for the next arc, but still, the more you know! My lineart I feel has also improved, even if just a little bit!
