#359 ½: Babsol!

"The Fool Rules Freely"

Waaaaay back in the Horse Days I made a series of MLP themed posters where the main idea was to not actually show the horses at all -try to keep it a little vague, but still use all their colours and symbols.

I think it came from the idea that some people would like to show their fandom of MLP without the obvious and implicit ponys in it for one reason or another, ergo the posters.

This one is Pinkie Pie; Best pony and literally Weird Al's Waifu.

Back on the Beans Boys!

I love the soft textures on this, and the mix of warm tones and earthy ones.

I found this old study I forgot about saved on my phone. BEANS!

Grilled Plump Cap

Plump caps must be the Dwarfen equivilent of the humble potato; full of every nutrient you need, and you can make booze out of it!

I always imagined that they'd have a nice starchy taste, somewhere between a sweet potato and a chestnut mushroom.

Also, turns out you CAN make wine from 'shrooms irl! apparently it tastes a lot like normal grape wine.

Kevin Wettsworth; The Parable

Kevin, great and mighty, voiced by the amazing @earndiltheequalizer!

The folk over at Ogre Poppenang have the remarkable ability to make a character hilarious one moment, and heartbreaking the next. I think Kevin here is one of my favourites. I hope he survives the series.

Lemme tell ya, making a guy with a nose like a mosquito look forward wasn't easy, but I think I got it in the end.

"Knowledge is Power"

This one is Twilight Sparkle; who should of stayed a unicorn dammit.

"Sharing is Caring"

This one is Rarity; who is simply fabulous *darling*

KSS KYUR MUB MUB KA MUB BLI SKA

The endlessly endearing Mr. Mub Mub, as voiced by the irrepressibly energetic @baronharkonnen (SpeakerD)

I love how genuinely alien the Xenians and other aliens are in half-life, from their biology to their mannerisms to their speech quirks. SpeakerD does a fantastic job of conveying the true alien grasp of social interactions in a way that is both funny and very empathetic.

The species in HL also have some interesting means of making art too, which is what I tried to get at here. I like to think if Mubby wanted to make a self portrait, it would look a little like this.

"Friends before Fortune"

This one is Rainbow Dash; everyones favourite pride flag coloured sports-lesbian.

Tankard of "Wine"

Wine probably shouldn't foam this much, but I'm a cider guy so what do I know.

I like to think the Plump Caps and their resulting wine share a lot of flavour with where/what they're grown on. like if you grow them on wood chips you get a nice woody or earthy undertone.

We Suffer for our Children

I love my weasels. They love my ears.
