Long Time Gone, Post to No One




















I don't know if I will come back to this blog or not, the years haven't been kind. I don't have friends to reach out to, so I feel this post will just fade away too. But I am alone and just have to post something to get it off of my chest..
I don't normally post what is on my mind. And this has been on mind for the past month... Based on an old tumblr post:

I remember the way you smiled when you heard that I liked you. I remember how awkward it felt being together as a couple, not just friends. I remember how soft your lips were and that spark between us in our first kiss. Your eyes held so much love, your voice was so familiar to me. When we were together I woke up each morning appreciating the warmth of your body next to mine, your breath tickling my neck as you dreamed. I kissed you even as you sleep and admired your form. There was no sex there, no gender, no labels needed. There was nothing wrong in my world when I was with you. I brushed your soft hair out of your face and you startled awake, opening your hazel eyes wide to the morning light. You whimpered and stretched, much like I did when you used to wake me up on the weekdays. You were the one I loved, the one I wanted to wake up to every morning, the one I wanted to call my own, the one I wanted to make smile at least once every day. I loved you more than I can do justice with petty words, yet these things were not enough when we were miles apart for so long. Days turned to weeks, weeks turned to months, months turned to years, and I couldn’t make my way back. Silence set in and our threads of fate unraveled. Now I am left with emptiness, surrounded by people expecting sex, gender, labels. As much as I loved you, I couldn’t make you call me first, to ask about my day, to offer to come see me. When I called you, it was like calling a stranger, someone who didn’t want to let me in, to share their life with me. Yet, I will always remember that time that I was with you, that we were more than strangers miles apart. The one time in my life that all was right.


Basically, my fiance and I were long distance after graduating college and as they made friends in their home town, living with their parents and not ever wanting to leave, they stopped calling me. I would have to be the one to call and when I did, I was ignored for video games. I became an inconvenience I guess, and while I am glad they made friends (I wish I had such luck), I wish more effort had been made to keep the relationship going or that they had been more upfront with wanting to end the relationship. Considering they started dating someone else less than a week after ending our relationship, I suspect cheating was happening, even if it was just flirting with them. It has been over a month since I spoke to them and I have not heard a word from the person who wanted us to remain friends. I can't stand one-sided anythings, relationships or friendships. Now I am left wondering how long has it been that we have been strangers as I tried so hard to keep things going because I still loved them like an idiot.

The Crystal Gems: Steven Universe




Now to bring the whole group of the Crystal Gems as ponies together. I am not overly happy with Garnet and Amethyst, but their designs don't translate as well as Pearl and Rose Quartz.

Garnet's cutie mark is Ruby and Sapphire's gems with swirls to show them fusing. I made Garnet a unicorn to fit her "magical" ability to see into the future.

Amethyst's cutie mark is her whip. I wanted to give her a more personal one but not related to food or being messy, ultimately I stuck with the whip to keep it a cutie mark that isn't gross or weird. I made amethyst an earth pony since she was born on earth and she can easily look like a unicorn or pegasus if she wanted.

Pearl's cutie mark consists of her spear, her sword, and her (very poorly drawn) violin. I chose a pegasus for her because of her graceful movements.

Rose Quartz's cutie mark is the symbol on her flag which represented her shield. I made her a princess because I see her as being an extremely powerful gem and was the leader of the Crystal Gems.

Random Drawing of the Day

This is part of a set which started with Rose Quartz. This is Pearl from Steven Universe as a pony. I saw many versions of her as a unicorn, but I chose a pegasus because of her graceful movements. Her cutie mark consists of her spear, her sword, and her (very poorly drawn) violin.

I will probably do the other Crystal Gems and maybe even the home world gems or fusions. I will probably not do Steven or any of the humans, just because their color schemes won't translate as well as the gems.

Random drawing of the day

This time I decided to draw my favorite character from Steven Universe as a pony, combining two shows I really like (that and ponies are fun and easy to draw). I tried to capture her fuller figure without making her look pregnant here, as this was supposed to be her when she was leading the gems during the war. Her cutie mark is the symbol on her flag. I made her a princess because I see her as being an extremely powerful gem and was the leader of the Crystal Gems. I love how her mane and tail look and overall I am satisfied with this drawing that only took 30 min.

Drawing of the Day

A drawing I did freehand while watching tv shows. I didn't get to work on it as much as I wanted, but since I did all of it in pen only, I am impressed by the end result.

Random Art of the Day

Today I chose a piece I drew almost 3 years ago, the MLP:FIM main cast as humans of different races.
This was my first time trying to draw different ethnicities in a style I used to have.
Twilight Sparkle: African American
Pinkie Pie: Japanese (I was trying to be more specific than just Asian, but I don't think I could draw the differences well enough in this style)
Rainbow Dash: Non-Hispanic White
Apple Jack : Non-Hispanic White (really the only choice for this character though an Argentinian version could be interesting)
Rarity: Hispanic White (again, features don't show up well in this style)
Fluttershy: Middle Eastern, based off of another fan art I saw.



The next piece was a quick tattoo design I did for a character in one of my roleplays. It isn't a polished work, just enough to convey the idea.

Drawing Practice 1: The Raven made from dots


This is an ink dot work raven picture that I spent almost 18 hours working on (including short breaks for my hand). It is based on a tattoo I saw on Pinterest (the link was bad so I can't credit the original artist but their work is truly amazing!). I am extremely proud of how it turned out. I am trying to draw more often since I am still jobless to stay productive. I am willing to take commissions to help fund me getting out of my abusive home and with my fiance. I draw a lot of different things and most of my drawings on here are just quick sketches since it has been years since I have done more than just sketch work. But I can do small watercolor pictures or color pencil drawings. Usually I use ink pens and color pencils for drawing characters for people.
