Boring bullshit ahead as to why I stopped posting.
Why did I give up on my little challenge? For starters, I had fallen more than 15 or so days behind, hence why I was doing OC portraits. I didn’t have to come up with anything for the drawing, just follow a style I both easy and enjoyable for me to do. Even so, the quantity of the drawing I had to make up was too much to do just OCs, and they fell on dates like April 1st. Never got an idea for April Fools, and I wanted to post them in order here, so I kinda just screwed myself lol
Second, two people never sent me a character to draw, which ties into the whole April 1st thing. Even if I did get to those dates, I would have to keep push these two further and further down the year, not knowing if I’d even get anything from them (and, well, even after reminders, I never did). So instead of working on other drawings, I just sat on my hands and did absolutely nothing, pissing myself off more and more with each day that I fell further behind.
And I couldn’t just pick it up again at a current date and just skip those days. My goal was to draw some pony related picture of some sort, in some medium, every day for the entirety of 2018. After falling behind to a point where I’d either burn myself out on drawing or having to skip about a month, I just dropped it. I couldn’t pick it back up again without having felt like I had failed. So I didn’t.
