three-apples:

The story just kind of formed in my head as one of those far-off projects that you think about but never actually follow through with.

I guess Season 3 is what got me to go for it, because when I saw parts of the canon change, I realized this wasn’t a project I could indefinitely put off for some later time because it depended on a certain interplay with the real show. It also provided a meaty personal project that would help me gain a little experience in comicking and storytelling in general. I don’t remember any big moment where I decided to “suddenly do this”, it just slowly became more real.

Your question suggests that you aren’t aware that I have a personal blog where I post bits of silly art fairly regularly. I also have more traditional art which I rarely post because it’s more personal and I’m not as confident presenting it, but it’s safe to say yes, I have drawn a little bit in the past year.
