Local weeb bat (formerly copper pony). Artsy fartsy half of @riffponies. Aiming to be the second best cartoonist you never heard about on the internet. エイセンシャル He/She/They/Bat

Artists, show me the first ever picture of an OC and the most recent. Tabby started off incredibly PALE and was just a straight off riff of Haruko Haruhara from FLCL. As time went on, I put more Filipino-ness into her, hence why her last name changed from Olsen to Olazo.

I wanted a simple meal. Fried eggs with rice. Cook some rice then go to fry up some eggs. I try to crack one- it's hard. I'm confused- so I peel it... It's frozen. Completely frozen. No idea why. It's only ever been in the fridge. Even weirder? All the other eggs are fine. Only one egg is frozen.

When I first designed Rowe, she was a much more a tsundere type, more tired and put upon and more gate-keepy about anime. As time went on, I found that she was much more fun and compelling as a big earnest dork. Much closer to my own personal experiences growing up as an anime fan anyway.

And now for something quick and dirty. Have Rowena cosplaying as Marin Kitagawa, from My Dress-up Darling. Cosplaying a cosplayer? How many layers can we go...? Background from Clip Studio Paint, processed from a 3D model, then drawn/shaded/colored over.

たすけてえーりん! Help me, Erin! I've been listening to the song on loop recently so I decided to draw my favorite Touhou girl, Kagerou Imaizumi, doing the gesture. Am I showing how old I am by doing this old ass meme? Yes. Yes I am. えーりーーーーーん!!!

Compared to my usual character Irina Koshka, who is very friendly and congenial, Jez wants everyone around her to feel just a little bit uncomfortable with her presence. She is an inquisitor after all. It'll be very fun to play her in the coming weeks.

Her attitude is largely informed by her semi-namesake, Nonon Jakuzure, as well as Haruko Haruhara from FLCL. Very nasally voice. You can hear her smirking with pretty much every one of her lines. Her hairstyle and hat is an adaptation of Hoshimachi Suisei's, just more... inquisitorial.

Over the past couple of months, I had to figure out a secondary character for Rogue Trader, DM'd by @htblack.bsky.social. Finally landed on one. Meet Jezebel Belinda Jakuzure. A smirking, smarmy inquisitor, here to keep an eye on Xeno loving Lady Hellfrost and her retinue.

Gurren Lagann is correct about its central conceit that the entirety of the power of the human spirit is ignited at the intersection of hope, belief, faith & trust. And that despair not only limits imagination but is also a spiritual death that leaves us helpless when facing humanity’s adversaries.

I'll be working hard to get as much art of the art I owe finished before I leave for the Philippines! And when I return, it'll be with a smile on my face, knowing that there are so many people out there who care for me and are looking out for me. Thank you, everyone. Thank you so very much...~

I saw so many names I recognized. Several who I've known for years. A few of my own peers as TF artists. Many folks who've I've never spoken to but recognize as someone who's always like my art. Yet no matter how small the intersection of our lives... So many of you helped. So many of you helped...

None of this would've been possible without your generosity. None of this would've been possible without my friends who helped get the word out. I am nothing short of blessed to be surrounded by so many people who care. Who saw the trouble I was in and didn't hesitate at all to help.

But in the course of only a day and change, it's almost all gone. PayPal has a hold on the other half, but it'll be released by the end of the month. It's gonna be over. This massive stressor over my life will finally disappear. Thank you, everyone. Thank you. Thank you thank you thank you...!

God. Oh my fucking god. I just-... I really don't know what to say. I'll be honest- this debt has been hanging over my head for years like a sword. It motivated some of my worst habits as an artist, just trying to stay on top of it. For a while I thought I'd never be rid of it.

ko-fi.com/acesential/g... I wanted to avoid this for the longest time, but I need help. I have debts. They were accrued the last few years due to anything from educational expenses, funds being tight, to medical expenses. I had to run up a credit card and PayPal credit in order to make ends meet.

Ace is an amazing person and has been with the pony fandom pretty much since the beginning. He has always been jovial, kind, and there to make people smile. I hope we can return the same kindness he has given to us after all these year. Please help or spread around if you can. <3 #mlp #mlpfim
