Old

I’m turning 33 today. Damn I feel old and I can’t believe I’m still unashamedly in love with multiple fictional characters!

Big thank you to everyone who sent me a message! I tried to get back to all of you personally but there were a lot of, so I might’ve skipped some! I apologize. I’m overwhelmed by your outpouring of well wishes and support. It means a lot to me. Thank you so very much!

Anime Expo Premiere Fan Badge owners here?

This might be a super weird request, but does anyone who follows me maybe have a Premiere Fan Badge for Anime Expo and would be willing to help me out and let me purchase VIP tickets with their Premiere access code to the Aqours concert at Anime Expo?

I’m super into Love Live lately (as you might’ve seen) and would love to go see their first full concert overseas together with my wife and my best friend.

If you’d be interested in helping me purchase 3 tickets, please send me a message at ratofdrawn@gmail.com! I’d love to maybe draw something for you if you can help? Or pay you for the trouble too, cause I know the tickets are pretty sought after.

Thank you! Also if you know any die hard Anime fans that you know have a Premiere Fan Badge, could you maybe pass the request on? The tickets go on sale tomorrow evening for Premiere Badge owners.

Also sorry for the spam to anyone who has no idea what I’m talking about, lol

From the looks of it though the others won’t change save for their races. It’s like… why do the other fans get to keep their waifus? :/

Keep in mind this is still all very early concept art in super early stages of planning, nothing has been confirmed yet! Hell, I’m not even sure if it’s real. We haven’t even seen all the mane six yet. But from what I’ve read, the others will change too. I suspect they’re all going to be pretty much completely new characters with similarities to their old counterparts.

No reason to be unhappy about some distant possibility. Plus I rather embrace things that make me happy and bring me joy than to be sad or angry about something I have no influence over.

I thought the design is cute when I saw it, it reminded me of the AJ I love and I wanted to draw a cute picture that makes me happy.

That is one hell of an over-designed OC.

Word, lol. And that’s after I toned down her original manestyle a little bit!

You do realize she won’t be herself again, right? ;w;

Yeah, I do. And it’s very sad. I love AJ a lot and I’ll miss her. But I figured that’s what people felt when G4 happened. Suddenly Rainbow Dash is a competitive tomboy? A silly white pegasus named Surprise is suddenly a pink earth pony called Pinkie Pie? Applejack is a hardworking farmer and not a silly klutzy pony anymore?

So yeah, I’ll miss “our” AJ. So much. But I’m also ready to fall in love with completely new characters all over again. Even if they have the same name as some of my most favorite characters ever.

And hey, we’ll get at least 2 more seasons with the AJ we know and love, that’s nice, too!

Hey everyone. Just a small update about my personal life. If you follow me on Twitter or are on my patreon Discord server you might have already heard.

My dad passed away earlier this week. It wasn’t completely out of the blue. I’ll be okay. But I was the last real family he had, so I’ll be busy taking care of some things and it might take longer than usual to get a reply from me for the next week or two. I’d appreciate the patience. If you need to get into contact, my email is RatofDrawn [at] gmail[dot] com and I’ll probably see emails sooner than tumblr messages.

Thank you.

I’ll still try to get a nice picture done for Christmas, I’ve found that drawing is a nice distraction right now, there’s just not too much time available.
