This is the first picture I have drawn in a couple of months and, well, I don't think it turned out half bad. :)
The story behind it is, after writing "The Most Delightful Shade of Red", I got to thinking how a great outcome for the series would be Rarity wishing to be turned into a dragon so she could spend the rest of her days with Spike.
Why would Rarity do such a thing? Why, to be "Generous" of course! She realizes Spike is the only dragon and has no other dragons to be with. So, as a true showing of her love and self-sacrifice, Rarity asks to be turned into a dragon.
You'll notice her dragon form would retain her mane, tail, and coat. She wouldn't get scaly like Spike. She also would keep her Cutie Mark, too!

Quite honestly considering what you told me on Saturday it's amazing that you can draw at all, this is really good all things considering. Like, to me, it just blows my mind in a way since it's like, even despite the little that's there, you can still make something that by all intensive purposes is recognizable and even has quite a few details. Draco-rarity looks kind of like a stuffed animal actually, it's quite cute.
Ever since my barrage of surgeries last year, I have had a REAL hard time drawing. The reason being that, with my corneal implant in failure, it is next to impossible to focus on anything.
However, in doing this work, I utilized a combination of very bright light, coming from above, and my CC TV. The CC TV allowed me to do the coloring and some "Touch Ups". I also used the magnification glasses and tinted glass covers I use when on a computer to help overcome other sight-related issues.
I wish I could still see as I did before the 6 eye surgeries of doom. It was just a hair clearer then and, well, all I needed was my special, magnification glasses to draw. Now, it's much harder.
If anything, though, I had to try and draw again. I've been so scared about "Failing" due to how far my sight has diminished that I stopped "Doing". So, before you, is my attempt to "Return to Art" despite the obstacles of what remains of my sight.
Now, if only I could bring myself to play a video game again. I do try on the 3DS, as the screen is small enough to allow my magnification glasses to work, but I so badly want to play Resident Evil 2 and 3 again.

Oh, thank you, Skye! That means so much to me.
As I was telling Daigonite, I have been very scared to take the time to draw for, lately, it's VERY hard for me to focus like I used to. Everything is quite foggy and, well, this made attempting art very discouraging.
Fortunately, I had enough drive today to do it. The idea was in my head and I just had to get it out. So, I pressed past all my worries and the struggles to make this happen.
My overall goal is to get back to having "Art Time" with my son. All I need is a super-bright light above me to help with the focus issue and I think I can do it. I miss that bonding we had and I want to do it again. :)

I hope that you're still able to do this with your son. Bonding is very important.
I never had a father figure in my life until I was five. Luckily, my foster-father more than made up for the missed time.
Don't be scared to draw. If you enjoy it, then you really should just do it.

*Sigh* The fear is more just in realizing how hard, if close to impossible, it is to do depending on a number of variable situations. But, you're right, I must push past those.
I try to be a good father, but I wonder how well I do sometimes. Then again, I probably wouldn't be a good father if I didn't at least second guess my ability of being one every now-and-then. *Shrugs and smiles*

It is very sad that most of the other dragons in the series are just massive dicks, but at least here, Spike no longer has to worry about being in love with a pony. Coincidentally, I also wrote a short story where Spike actually found a female dragon his age who was just like Rarity.
Hmm. Have you ever considered posting to FiM Fiction? Couldn't hurt. Critics there are pretty rough, but with a "Kill them with Kindness" approach, you can really learn a lot about your writing ability. I also gained a lot of insight as to how folks who don't understand a diaper fetish see one and it is enlightening to say the least. :)
If you'd wish to share a story for me to read, link me up some time. I'll do my best to make time to read it using my Screen Reading Software and comment ASAP.

Read them only when you want to. I know your very busy. As for the FiM fiction site, I really don't have that many MLP fan fiction, though I am in the process of writing one. Time will tell.

Thanks, Nan! What I need to do is get that journal you wrote sharing such epic news. I'm so behind these days... again. :(
Drawing is not as easy as it was, but I am trying to push past that. Maybe I'll get to more when my son and I sit down for a doodling session? I miss those.
