New Fan Art and a message to any of my artist followers · 11:00pm Aug 25th, 2014
More fan art from two wonderful readers of mine!
First we have two pieces drawn by Starfirenova (Her dev art page)
Both from my first pony fic ever: Soft Spoken With a Big Heart
"NOW LISTEN HERE!"
Her own personal mountain
These really made me all nostalgic! Thanks Starfirenova!
Then i also recieved this wonderful tribute from GlitterDash (Dev art: chessaw
From the romantic scene between Soarin and Dash the night before the last day of the tryouts in Piercing the Heavens
“Just let me look at you…"
Thanks you very much GlitterDash!
I will also add these to the fanart window on my front page... and add them to their respective scenes in my stories :)
That being said, i also wish to extend these words out...
Both of these friendly artists were nervous to share these pieces with me because they were afraid i wouldn't like it or that i wouldn't be interested because of some of the really high quality art i've had the privilege of having done for me.
Let me say this here and now: Never, ever, EVER be afraid to show me fanart if you've drawn some. it's not the quality of the art that makes me feel good, it's knowing that i've inspired others to be creative. Any time i see a piece of art depicting my work, it sends shivers down my spine to know i've been inspiring.
It doesn't matter if its a simple doodle, or if it's the mona lisa, if you put forth the effort to draw me something... I WILL feature it in a blog, i WILL post it on my front page, and i WILL insert it into the story it belongs to while giving credit beneath the image and adding your name for image credit on the front cover of the story.
I believe it's only fair since you've drawn it for me ^_^
Thanks again GlitterDash and Starfirenova!
You're okay with stick figures right?

BRILLIANT.
New profile pic!
Lol that stickman just made me laugh
2401028 *dies of laughter*
The only things I can draw are breath and water.
Not necessarily at the same time, you understand. 
2401065
they are all very nice pictures
*sees SoarinDash pic*has a mini.... no massive fangasm* TOO. FREAKING. CUTE!!!!
2401166
Thank you!
they were very pleasant surprises 
2401179
i know! Glitter was worried i wouldn't like it
2401252
brings a tear to me eye...
2401230 How could you not like it?!? It freakin awesome!
2401271
haha she was nervous cause i had the art on my front page from some real seasoned artists. (I wish you could see foxanawolf work... she did all the posse pics... she drew all of those in like... ten minutes. she's unreal.)
but it was funny, i found the pic on derpibooru and it lead me to her dev page. So i found it regarless of her trying to hide it
i tracked it down! 
i refuse to let people hide away when i've helped inspire them to draw! 
2401285
i have no one to blame but myself
Aww I'm getting used to Soarin and Dash not being together and it's sad
2401396
i don't like it either...
but it's for the story, i must endure until they can fix it themselves
You know, I actually did draw you one but with the wrong city.
It was supposed to be Canterlot in the background, but I accidently put Cloudsdale.
Sorry.
2401575
I'd still like to see it
2401701
yay!

2401831

thats like 5 people now who have come to me saying... this isn't good... and i think it's awesome 
HOW DO YOU FRICKEN UPLOAD A PHOTO??!!
Sorry I just can't figure it out. Can anyone help me?

Okay. Finally figured it out. Phew! Sorry about all the trouble.
I didn't draw this. My amazing 10-year old sister did. I'm the opposite of an artist. Anyway, this is my favorite scene, where Dash is choking on the eggs.
2401946
Is your sister HopScotch?
And that's REALLY good for 10 years old! I completely lack any sort of traditional art skills, so this is already about twice as good as i could ever do. Tell her i love it (and i'll add it to my fan art page when i get home today
)
Yes she's hopscotch. She is really amazing! But she really wants to audition for a performing arts school that i'm already in, and doesn't think she can do it. She doesn't realize her talent.
Because of your Mona Lisa comment I drew these Here and Here
2403703

2403725 Wow lol

I added the picture to my fan art box on my user page, and put it into chapter 33 as well right next to the egg scene. Also gave you image credit on the front cover
Thanks again for the art!
Those first two pictures are really nice
2401179
Oh wow, thanks, really ^w^ *so happy she just wanna hug something tightly*
And thanks everyone else too.
2404488
you're right! 
how could have I forgotten?!
Damn... all of this now makes me want to get started on the stories even sooner but life on my end is currently much too hectic. Or if I'm honest, I just am a procrastinator.
2401946 What you can also do is copy the image address of the deviantart picture by control-clicking, then click Insert Image (the picture icon amongst the buttons at the top of the commenting section) and paste to Image URL and voilà: fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2014/237/7/e/image_by_lightningflashoc-d7wpj8d.jpg
2408361 Oh cool thanks!
2409705 No prod, dob!
