NATG XIV - Day 10
Prompt: Draw a pony feeling out of place / Draw a pony feeling right at home.
Semi-continuation of my Day 5 piece; this time, Sunny's mom returns home to find that the exterior of her old home has changed significantly. And that's just the beginning of the story...
(Most of my time with this piece was spent on the Brighthouse, as you might expect. I might continue this story if another prompt provides for it.)
Day 5 piece:
NATG XIV - Day 9
Prompt: Draw a pony working for peanuts / Draw a pony working a crummy job.
Sprout finds himself becoming the mascot for a cheesy space-themed milkshake place while a pair of children gaze (gawk?) at him. How humiliating.
(The kids are OCs of mine; Sugar Cookie is the pegasus and Chamomile is the unicorn.)
NATG XIV - Day 8
Prompt: Draw a pony not thinking straight / Draw a pony losing their mind.
Probably the fastest NATG drawing I've done this year (so far), since it took me less than an hour to do. Features a batty Twilight, with a loose and messy brush for the background and coloring. (side note: had trouble writing this description.)
NATG XIV - Day 7
Prompt: Draw a pony with their better half / Draw a pony finding someone special!
Figured I'd draw these two, since I've never done Yona digitally before and I wanted a bit more variety in terms of characters. Thought of drawing some food in their thought bubble, but I just went with a simple heart ("better half").
NATG XIV - Day 6
Prompt: Draw a pony learning the ropes / Draw a pony offering a pearl of wisdom.
"But I can drive my crafting scooter just fine! What's wrong with a bus?" - Izzy
(A rather loose interpretation of the second prompt, since I had trouble coming up with good ideas for either one. The only other pony I could think of who would write this would be Sprout's mom, Phyllis (pre-magic, of course.))
NATG XIV - Day 5
Prompt: Draw a pony shrouded in mystery / Draw a pony with friends in high places.
Sunny and Zipp discover a beautiful, mysterious garden... and a familiar looking pony. Is it really her? Or is it just a ghost? An illusion? You decide.
NATG XIV - Day 4
Prompt: Draw a pony on a wild goose chase / Draw a pony stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Silverstream must reach the top of the endless stairs if she's to have any hope of retrieving her necklace... if only she knew about the backwards long jump.
NATG XIV - Day 3
Prompt: Draw a pony throwing caution to the wind / Draw a pony tiptoeing around danger.
Sunny leaps across a dangerous spike pit in a crystal cavern. Sure, she could just use her alicorn powers, but where's the fun in that? (The title is a reference to an old, unofficial name for the "Crystal Dungeons" track from Kirby's Return to Dream Land.)
NATG XIV - Day 2
Prompt: Draw a pony taking its first steps / Draw a pony coming to life!
Based on an old idea I had for a "Micro-Series" styled comic:
"When one of Izzy Moonbow's creations mysteriously comes to life, what's a unicorn to do?"
(Butterscotch is saying, "Hello, Izzy!" I forgot to add the dialogue.)
NATG XIV - Day 1
Prompt: Draw a pony standing / Draw a pony holding its ground.
It's that time of year again. I wasn't sure who to draw, so I just drew Vapor Trail. (And yes, the "sky" is green.)
Submission for Equestria Daily's Chrysalis Day. An attempt at a reformed Chrysalis design, using a limited color palette.
Submission for Equestria Daily's Vinyl and Octavia Day, featuring a gradient background and a style semi-inspired by the G1 Takara Ponies.
A trio of G3 ponies I had done before, but with more interesting backgrounds and poses (instead of just pure white/not transparent/basic standing).
Top to bottom: Daisy Paisley, Morning Monarch, Glitterbelle. (The stuff in Morning Monarch's mane is meant to be tinsel.)
Here we have Sunny's mom (or Velvet, as I'm calling her) as an alicorn, sleeping peacefully in a mysterious bedroom, dreaming of the daughter she left all those years ago.
Experimented with a more loose/"messy" coloring style; the overall style was semi-inspired by Kirby's Dream Land 3 (crayon/pastel aesthetic).
My take on an older version of Flurry Heart, in a semi-different art style (mostly the face); I imagine this one would be an older teen or a young adult. (I didn't feel like designing a cutie mark for her, or using the one from that Gameloft game, so there.)
Submission for Equestria Daily's Fluttershy Day. Based on the seapony designs from My Little Pony: Set Your Sail, the G5 comic miniseries. Each one seems to be based partially on some sort of sea creature; initially my idea was an angelfish or a sea angel, until I remembered that butterflyfish existed. (The wings were added after I finished everything else on her.) Angel is a sea angel, but he's not too thrilled about it! (and he's pink.) (It was also going to have a proper undersea background, but then I got lazy.)
Turned a few background pony concepts from the G5 movie into actual characters! Clockwise from top left: Gloomshade, Swiss Roll, and Nightshade (not related to Gloom). Reference: https://derpibooru.org/images/2731703?q=concept+art%2C+g5
Another attempt at a "lineless" drawing, featuring Jade from G5.
Yes, catnip works on leopards, too. Experimented with a more "lineless" style. (as well as an environment, and combining Sunny's mane stripes with her old braid)
Submissions for Equestria Daily's Bat & Kirin Day.
The top one is named Nanette; he's based off the Honduran White Bat (his cutie mark's a fig because that's what they eat).
The bottom one is named Clover Meadows.
Some of the easter ponies from G3.
Submission for Equestria Daily's Starlight Glimmer Day.
Submission for Equestria Daily's Derpy Day.
An alicorn OC I made; her design reminds me a little of Blue Diamond and S1 Luna. She is generally serious, straight-laced, and a little tired; getting her to smile is a challenge.
A changeling queen OC, with rather wonky proportions. (I don't really have a name for her, but her personality is that she's rather vain and somewhat apathetic when it comes to actually ruling. She spends most of her time gazing into a magic mirror.)
Submission for Equestria Daily's "Shiny and Cady" Day. For this one, I decided to have some fun with the background (and also I got kinda lazy with Cadance's cutie mark).
Last-minute submission for Equestria Daily's Student Six Day. Did a bit of cross-generation stuff for this one.
A pair of pink zebras: Zig Zag from G1, and my OC Fuchsia. (also an attempt at shading.)
Last-minute submission for Rainbow Dash Day because I had assumed that the next character day was Shining/Cadance instead.
Drawing of Kerfuffle from MLP: Rainbow Roadtrip, featuring (slightly cursed? and probably wrong) "hands".
