Spotify Fail!

So I was drawing the other night and wanted some uplifting melody for inspiration. Naturally, I selected one of those automatic playlists generated by featuring My Little Pony music. As you know, those generated playlists look for related music to try and expand your music horizons. Well, after a few of the usual Brony classics there comes this: 

Just, no. 

Stereotypes

So seriously, for just once I’d like to walk into a cleaners and find that it’s not run by Korean people. I just tried a new place out, only to discover that the owner was Korean. She was very pleasant, I’m sure she’ll do a great job, and I have nothing against Korean entrepreneurs, it’s just that it would be nice to see someone of a different ethnicity in that role to help break the stereotype. 😠

My First Broadcast with CiM

So, recently I was asked to join Commentary is Magic as a backup member, or junior woodchuck member, or whatever status they give to people who aren’t one of the founding four. The coolest part about it, aside from the plain and simple honor, is that I get to join in on broadcasts and special events.

This past Sunday, I was part of the crew that reviewed the first batch of spoiled MLP CCG cards from the upcoming Defenders of Equestria set (aka Set 8). It was a lot of fun. I think it went well considering that it was a first outing for me. I’ve done acting, been on stage, and performed improv comedy, so this wasn’t entirely out of my comfort zone. I haven’t listened to the broadcast yet, but apparently there is some talking-over-others issues, something that’s easy to avoid on stage but a lot harder when you are doing a group stream with people’s whose faces you can’t see.

More streams are on the way. As more cards are spoiled, CiM will be discussing thoughts and general reactions.

So ya, come listen to me talk over people and bumble around. I’ll post links to the next broadcasts that I am featured in.

Oh. And here’s the link to the most recent one: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/120085680

My OC design

So, I’ve been drawing again and finally getting. Around to creating the visual for my MLP OC. I’ve had the backstory and general design for a while now, so putting it to paper is both exciting and disappointing at the same time. On the one hoof, I’m finally getting this done, so that’s great. On the other, I now have to face the reality that my OC doesn’t look on paper like he does in my head. Still, I like how he looks so far, and I think things will get even better once I get the colors in. 

Maybe my inspiration for finally creating the visual for this character comes from the finale of Season 6, which I just watched for the first time. Maybe it’s the impending release of Set 8 of the CCG. Or maybe it’s other things. I dunno. Here’s what I have so far.
