InuHoshi-to-DarkPen

So here my thoughts and what's to come. Plus some short stuff about my AU at the end.

Buckle up pips and pipettes, this going to be a long one.


I thought a lot wether or not I should write this today, after seeing the episodes or sleep on it. In the end my thoughts not going to change by tomorrow, might as well write it now.

Honestly, in the past months I did not feel that this is the last season. Well, until this week, when the feeling of the end really kicked in. And now after it actually happened, I must say, I don't know how to feel. Part of me doesn't feel the end, but when I started to think how there won't be new episodes, how with "The Last Problem" they really closed the book (pun intended), well that's when I truly started to tear up.

I mean, how could I not? I wasn't among the og people who have been following the show from day one, but still, it's a show that's been part of my life for seven years. And more than just watching it week by week. I truly felt like I'm part of something bigger with the fandom. Back than I thought I'm just going to be here, doing my thing. I mean, I'm just a young woman from Hungary, who still doesn't really know what to do with her life, with social and other problems. Who really loves to do one thing; draw.

I never expected the amount of fun and happiness I had with drawing ponies. And than I saw the amount of people who genuinely enjoyed my art, the people who would take time out to with me happy birthday every year, seeing my art being used as headers on EQD, thinking of the people who I happily could call me friends, people who I worked with on covers for fanfics and I relized. I'm really part of something bigger. I truly found a place I could call home.

And for that I couldn't thank the staff behind the show hard enough. From the writers through the voice actors to the animators. Thank you so much for creating a world and characters, whose like friends to us. Whose became truly eternal.
The story may be over, but the journey truly will go on.

Where the fandom will be heading

I myself don't know, but I don't think it's over for the fandom. I think it got to the point that there's so many self created work, from fanfics to fan comics and the likes, even if there won't be anything new for us, we are just going to create it for us! Basically, we became self-sustaining.
Not to mention technically we will be getting a season 10 in comic book form and we will be getting a Generation 5 of ponies down the line. I belive the fandom will be a bit similar to the Star Trek fandom. There will be new iterations of the show that some people like, some people don't, but the show that started it all, that brought us together will keep us together.
And hey, there always will be new people who will check out show later. So yay, new fresh bloodsXD

Where I'll be going

Short answer: Nowhere! I know lot of people worried about others leaving, and sadly I know it's going to happen with some. However, like I said, I always thought I just going to be here, doing my thing unnoticed. I love drawing this world and it's characters so much I can't just stop. Plus I definitelly going to check out G5.^^ Plus plus! I have and AU to work on (more on that in a bit). And I also feel like I've been neglecting my poor OCs too. I need to draw them more.
So yeah, even if no one will be here, I'm probably going to just do what I love. Drawing ponies.

So before I move on one last hurrah and thanks from me to some people:

To Lauren Faust and the staff at DHX for creating this world we love so much.

To the voice actors for bringing our beloved characterd to life.

To Seth and the others at Equestria Daily for their hard work at keeping the site running (also, thank you so much for using my art for headers time to time. It was a honor).

To Chengar Qordath, Comma-Kazie, Ponibius, Trinary and lot of others, who are not just generous people, but people I was so greatful to work with on fanfic covers, who I also could call dear friends. Here's hoping for more great collabs in the future.

And to all of you who followed me over these seven years. And I'm hoping you going to follow me for more years to come~



Cheers all, MLP foever!



And for last, something less tear jerky, a bit about my AU.

Soooooooooooo, it's kind obvious that my AU is fully in an alternate timeline now. It became an ATAU, if you will. When I gave it the name 'Years Later', I though 'Usually shows don't show the future at the end". And than 'The Last Problem' happened. WELP. To late now, I'm to far in with planing and everything to just go back to the drawing table. Besides, the fun of AUs pretty much because you can do whatever you want! Rewrite everything! Don't like the canon, change it! No one can say what can you do and don't! Where's the fun in that!?

.....

Anywho...
Soooo, I' m pretty sure I'm gonna intergrate some stuff from season 9 into it, but I'm going to talk about it some other time. Maybe not in a journal post, just in text file probably.
Now that the show ended, I can go full force with my AU!



Until than, cheers guys!^^

I feel ashemed, cos it's been literally a year since I wrote a journal entry. But I guess I'm just not the type of person to share updates and the like.

However, I absolutly needed to write one to thank all of you for the birthday wishes. The least I can do to show how greatful I am.

I always found it crazy how many of you would take time out of your day to do it. Especially, because I'm the least interactive artist in the fandom. I try to make up for it by bringing you guys more art.^^

Also, want to thank the anonymus who gifted me the 4 weeks core membership. It helps out a lot (I'm really forgetful, so the 'Schedule' feature really useful for me), thank you so much!

My front page it's a bit messy now (my old widgets came back), so I will clean in up in the next two days.

And seriously, thank you so much everyone! You guys are amazing

Starting up a store on teepublic

Yep, as the title say I try to start up a storefront on TeePublic as an extra income and to see if I can do more with my work. At the moment there is only two design up, but if you are interested check them out, as more will come.

www.teepublic.com/user/scarlet…

But there's an importent note:

At the moment I'm ONLY planing to do original designs, aka no MLP:FiM stuff. I may do designs that loosly connect to it and other things, but straight up work connected to show (like using characters from it and such) are not in the plans. Of course that can change in the future, we shall see.

So if you guys are interested check out the first two designs:

'Fierce Unicorn' - tee.pub/lic/K1jYxUaVV2o

'Bread Cats' - tee.pub/lic/4JN56fDeRX8


I'm going by the name Scarlet Rose by the way, just in case of confusion.

And as it goes on TeePublic for the first 3 days the t-shirts are cheaper.


And as always if you like my MLP:FiM art and want to support me to make more of it in the future, you can always do it on my Patreon. Even 1$ every month helps me out a lot.

Well, finally I got myself to talk and start something I wanted to do, honestly for years by now (at least some parts of it). And that is an AU called 'My Little Pony: Years Later' (MLP:YL for short).
As the name suggest it takes few years after the show's timeline (at the moment from the end of season 8, so I'm going to try to incorporate things from it and I will see what can I do for later seasons).
It will include story ideas, some headcanons and next gen stuff too. I'm going to do mostly art for it, maybe sometimes comics and even writing too.

So, maybe some of you thinking, why do I have to make such a big fuss about it? Why do I have to make an announcement for it? Why did it took me years to start it?

Honestly? Reception.

Back in 2012 I already had ideas and even sketches for some next gen stuff, but I just became a fan of the show and part of the fandom, and shipping and thinsg like that always been the hot bed of arguments (at least that's what I saw in other fandoms) and honestly, I got scared back in the day to share any of that. Than I kinda forgot about it and just recently started working on it again. I know it kinda sounds childish looking back on it, even more now that I saw so many artist doing their own next gen stuff and it's pretty much accepted now in the fandom. So while late to the game I finally decieded to stop being a wuss and do this. Because, well, it's something I really want to do (also with it, I can finally share what I been working on in secretXD).

Of course this doesn't mean I'm just going to work on this 100%, there's going to be art not connected to this. And it's pretty much going to be an on and off thing, as it's always been hard for me to concentrate on long projects. Any art that's going to be connected to the AU their title going to have MLP:YL in it.

So yeah, I guess if anything can be taken from this annoucment that it's never to late to start something you really want to do. I guess.^^''''

But now I can finally upload art for it, yaaaayXD

So, that's it for now.

InuHoshi out.
