HAPPY BIRTHDAY to one of the most legendary voice talents and voice actors of all time: the lovely TARA STRONG!!!                                  

She has done the voices of so many familiar and beloved cartoon characters. She voiced sweet, giggly Powerpuff Girl, Bubbles; silly baby brother of Tommy Pickles, Dil; adorable fairy baby, Poof; dark but spunky superheroine, Raven; zany supervillainess turned superheroine, Harley Quinn; wishful-thinking boy, Timmy Turner; devoted Shaolin student, Omi; shapeshifting boy hero, Ben 10; the free-spirited daughter of Ariel, Melody; the accursed daughter of Aku turned true love of Samurai Jack, Ashi; sexy mechanic girlfriend of Jak, Keira; sharp-tongued wife of chef Mung Daal, Truffles; party-loving and neverendingly happy Lego princess of Unikingdom, Unikitty; and the intelligent and compassionate Equestrian Princess of Friendship, Twilight Sparkle. She’s also played not-so-nice characters too, like big bad brother, Terrence; and two wicked ghost gals (who I think inspired Tara to give Hasbro an idea about the Dazzlings), Ember McLain and Penelope Spectra. She has done them all and more. 

I’d like to thank her for all she has done for us in bringing beauty, personality, fun, laughs, cries, and many more in the characters she’s voiced. We will always treasure and love her for all her hard work and devotion in all her voice work. She is truly among the best of the best VA’s ever. I hope you guys met her before because I have and she is just the bee’s knees. She may be 46, but she is still the Goddess of Voice Acting. I hope she has a wonderful day with her loved ones and receives so much love and thanks from all us fans. 

In honor of her b-day, I made our beloved Tara a little birthday artwork. It features my top favorite characters she’s played as: Twilight Sparkle , Unikitty , Bubbles ,  Timmy Turner , and Ashi . Now this pic isn’t just the first art gift I made for her (I did make her a pic but it wasn’t like this), this is also the very FIRST time I’ve made vectors of non-MLP characters!  Shocking, right? Even though I could have taken the easy way out and borrowed vectors of the non-MLP characters, I decided to not only be more original, but also to step out of my comfort zone, and create them myself. I must say, Unikitty, Bubbles, and Timmy Turner were the easiest and quicker vectors to create. Ashi, she’s a different story. It would take me a long time to explain, but making her took longer than even my standard MLP vectors.  But in the end, it all turned out perfect. If I knew what Tara’s favorite color was I would have made the greeting the color of her choice. But I guess I’m going with red since Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. I hope she doesn’t mind with how this turned out.

Now before I wrap this up, just to let you know that just because I made vectors of non-My Little Pony characters for this piece, it does not mean by a 100% guarantee that you will get to see more of them. My Little Pony is still my top show. If I ever do decided to make vectors from any other show it would be extremely rare. So don’t expect to me to make any for the time being.

So anyway, for those who have access to Twitter, tweet to Tara and wish her a very happy birthday. She deserves all the love.
