Happy Birthday, LinaPrime!

Let me tell you the story about the awesome LinaPrime.

When I started submitting artwork on Deviantart, I didn't expect to get more than a few followers out of it, let alone an online friend. Way back in June of 2012, only one month after I posted my first "Children of the Mane Six" artwork, Lina contacted me saying that she wanted to draw my characters. When someone asks, I always say yes, but when I took one look at her art gallery, it was more like "PLEASE YES!"

With no other motives other than just wanting to draw some dude's characters that she liked, she submitted this masterpiece: linaprime.deviantart.com/art/F...

I, of course, was ecstatic and unbelievably grateful for the time and effort she put into it, but she didn't stop there! Fast forward a few months and she has become one of my biggest supporters and vice-versa. And then she drew the cover for my fanfic, "Time Traveling Kids of the Mane Six": fav.me/d5x4fgj Twice she had drawn amazing artwork for me without asking for anything in return, so I knew that I needed to return the favor.

Back in September, I made an "Ask" journal where people could ask my characters questions. Metal Fury, Lina's ponysona, asked Tempest (my OC son of Rainbow Dash) if he would like to be her special Somepony. I promised her that I would draw the picture, and though it's been a long while, I made sure I kept my promise. So this is for you, Lina! You've been an amazing friend and I hope you enjoy this.
