I like pandas.

(Missed the submission window on this one, I was seriously procrastinating and got a super late start. Oh well.)

It’s back! I had so much fun with this last year, made a ton of rapid improvement, and discovered so many new and underappreciated artists. Let’s get things started off on the right hoof with Best Pony.

ATG Day 30: Congratulations, cadets! Welcome to the Wonderbolt Reserves!

Wait a sec, one of those pegasi looks suspicious…

And with this, Equestria Daily’s Newbie Artist Training Grounds VI draws to a close. I’m glad I got to participate this year. The entire experience was fun; I got a ton of art done, became familiar with quite a few other fledgling artists like myself, and even encouraged a number of friends to participate, even if they could only do a few.

I set a personal goal to do every single prompt, excluding makeup days (burnout is real, gotta take a break now and then), and to never repeat characters. 30 unique prompts, 30+ unique ponies (and Spike). I’m happy I was able to stick with it, I count it as a personal victory towards my growth as an artist.

I’m hoping this entire affair granted me a bit more exposure. I noticed I picked up a fair number of new followers over the past month, so thanks to all of y’all. Glad you liked what you saw enough to click that follow button. :3 Here’s to another year of pony endeavors! (Tell your friends!)

Cutie marks were borrowed from this: http://fav.me/d6yuhnx. Click through to see the vector artists involved, credit given where it’s due. I normally draw all my own, but my hand was starting to cramp.

ATG Makeup Day, 25.2: Surprise! Happy birthday, Minuette.

I said I’d color it later, and I was bored, so here ya go! Someone’s got excellent taste in rare collectable action figures.

EDIT: This is my 200th post! :D Not sure how many of those were reblogs and text though, I’ll sort that out later.

ATG Day 29: At Her Limit.

Transcribing for cello isn’t exactly easy, especially when it’s from Vinyl’s chicken scratch hoofwriting. But the performance is tomorrow, and the audience doesn’t want to hear excuses. Hang in there, Octavia.
