The derpibooru server has been super kind and helpful especially given [waves at the stuff she's been through], but they have also encouraged like, every single thought that's bounced in my brain.
so.
here's my ponysona kissing a hyperfixation who has been ponified and should be my irl height. yaaay.

The image on the left is the AI image generated by PurpleSmart, done when fussing about trying to generate alicorns kissing pegasi. On the right is a redraw of it, using Cardia and a ponification of Raven from Guilty Gear (hence the "but" in the above sentence). The background's a lazy ass redo of the AI's background. My shading is bad, I'm aware, I'm working on that — and the last time I drew a real background was like, before I lost my will to live (i.e. like 10 years ago, oof).

Ravens color palette is a whole mix of grabs; his skintone from XX which was weirdly blue, the white of his hair in Xrd, threw on black wings, horn piercings and ear piercings inspired by XX but the "LIVE" was taken straight from Overture… He's a mess, I know, but ayyyy at least it looks good????

Add more tags if need be, I feel like I missed so much.
_{(also this time cardia's a mare here as a self-insert, which is one of the few times i'm going to tag them as a mare intentionally)}
