“I’ve watched My Little OC since Season 2. AltTab is my spirit animal.”
Happy belated Birthday, Tabby. (For those intrepid types, it’s a bit NSFW in there.)
(Also, I’ll get a gift done by the actual date one of these days.)

Sunset Shimmer x Banana. Potassium is important to a growing horsewoman.
(Happy belated birthday, Scooty.)
Seems my Fluttershy doodle’s been getting a bit of attention as of late.
Just a reminder…she’s still shy.
“I appreciate the attention, but, um…you’re scaring…um, the animals! Poor things. Please leave? Please?”

A sassy Spitfire for y’all, requested by @kris-321.
For an authority figure in the MLP universe, Spitfire doesn’t always show the best decision making. After some of the things the Wonderbolts have done, it makes me wonder how they’re still held in such high regard. Still, they are “The Most Elite Fliers in all of Equestria™” so I suppose that means something. And it wouldn’t hurt to see what she alone is capable of, or how she rose through the ranks of the Wonderbolts. She’s a Captain or something, right? Let’s see her as a rookie. Season 6 should be the season of origins.
I do wish they’d kept the original VA though. I guess her voice wasn’t cartoony enough, didn’t fit in with the rest of the cast. Oh well, we’ll always have Swedish Spitfire.

Velvet Remedy (with Fluttershy statuette), requested by Chryleza.
Never read Fallout: Equestria. I have a bit of an aversion to fanfiction. Never even played a Fallout game, for that matter. So I did a little research and took a shot in the dark with this one. Pardon the dust, I imagine a post-apocalyptic world to be rather rough on the hooves.

Final doodle (for now), #28, Twilight Sparkle.
And we end the way we started, with Princess Twilight. I wanted to show my improvement over the past month (haha, “month”). Admittedly, this took me a while, as I had a similar problem to when I started.
Use references, people. They’re life savers.
I’ve never been sure how I feel about Twilight. When people rattle off their favorites, she always ends up somewhat middle of the road for me. Sure, I like that she’s a role model type for young children to aspire to (it’s cool to be smart, kids) but over the years, it feels as if she’s lost a bit of what made her special. I miss her snarkiness, her sarcasm, her preparedness, and quick thinking from years of study. And is it just me, or does she tend to forget just how powerful she is when it matters? She gets caught off guard quite a bit (c’mon girl, you can teleport!) Well, I suppose we can’t always be at our best. I’ll even give her a pass for season 5, since the writers made it apparent she was overworked and sleep deprived for most of it. Still, I’d like to see Twilight get back to her roots a bit in Season 6. She might not be Best Princess™, but she’s still our adorkable best bookhorse.

Doodle a day #27, Princess Luna.
Everybody* loves Luna. Maybe it’s because she’s the outcast, the awkward one, the angry, misunderstood soul. Maybe it’s because she’s just adorable, or because people gravitate towards the darker color scheme. Maybe you sympathize with her after her harsh punishment for just wanting to feel appreciated. Whatever your reason, you have to admit she’s undeniably the most developed of all the princesses.
It was such a nice change to see all of the citizens of Ponyville coming to her aid in Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep?, showing they no longer fear her, that she’s finally gained to respect and love she’d desired those thousand years ago. You go, Luna.
*Except a few, but those people are idiots. :)
Ninja Mod Edit: Now in her full, dark glory.

Doodle a day #26, Princess Celestia.
I want more Celestia. I need more Celestia. It’s sad that we’ve had 5 seasons of this show, and one of the most prominent, influential, and powerful characters in the show has barely had any backstory or development.
Luna is generally considered “best princess” (yeah, she’s my favorite too), but I believe most of that has to do with Celestia being an unknown. We know she’s a mentor and a matriarch with a bit of a playful side, and she loves every single one of her subjects. That’s nice, typically fairytale material. But what made Celestia, Celestia? What makes her tick? What kinds of songs get stuck in her head? How does she handle stress? What irritates her? Luna is the warden of dreams, what else can Celestia do besides raise the sun? We need answers, there’s so much potential.
I think if we got an episode about Celestia and Luna’s childhood, I would pop. Filly princesses? Yes please.

Doodle a day #25, Steven Magnet.
It’s still rather ridiculous that they actually chose to go with the name that the fans came up with, based on a Youtube auto-caption error. Well fandom, I hope you enjoyed your season, ‘cause there’s no way Hasbro lets them get away with these shenanigans again.
Anyway, I had no idea the ol’ serpent actually had fans in the first place, or enough clamoring for his return anyway. I suppose it would have been a waste to not use him again. For a one-off, he was rather flamboyant.
No “color” this time. Still easing back into this thing, just wanted to get something done.
