What.... is it really? Yes, it's me... I've been away for a very long time... at least on this account. Some of you know that I changed accounts a couple of times and focused on art for work... I still make art but this was truly my HARPG and random stuff account, so it basically ended up in the background. As I got older it felt as if I had to make art for a purpose... I couldn't enjoy drawing anymore just for fun and fun only. And that is actually also a problem because art doesn't "work" when you don't have fun as well.

Anyways, I am slowly figuring out to dump my art here. I made a new stable as some of you might know, but its storyline is moving very slowly because there is only little time left when you work and draw for other accounts. But it gives me so much joy to continue HARPG. I hope this old account which goes back 14 years (What???) gives me more inspiration. Maybe not with my old stable like many of you knew as Misty Meadow Stables, but with my new characters and horses. In case anyone is interested, I can bring back my old art. It's in storage so if anyone has a horse with the lineage of my older horses I can do that.


So I would love to know how you are all doing and if there are any fun shows around I might join. I can't wait to show you my stables in case you haven't seen it yet and make references for my characters and interact with yours!

Let's do a happy dance, shall we? ;)

You are sitting in your room, looking at your gorgeous horses at Deviantart. You don't have a particular storyline in mind but you really like to draw something. You have no idea what to do. Sounds familiar? Well, here I have something that might get you some ideas. :dummy:

It's a rough set up, and some combinations wouldn't make sense at all, but... maybe it bring you a good story? :XD: If you like to help to improve this, please, feel free to comment!

How does it work?


If you are familiar with the horse personality randomizer that Dane made together with some other DA'ers, then it's kinda in the same direction. You will see a couple of lists that together will make a guideline to draw something. Some combination absolutely do not make sense, but just click the random button again to make a better option. :)

What do I need?


Go to Random.org to get the random numbers to make a combination. Write it down or use a textdocument.
