I like pandas.

Wow, have I really only posted one of these? I’ve been participating in @my-little-art-challenge (off and on) since July. In all that time, I’ve somehow only reposted the spooky one. Well, here’s all 6 so far.

Pokemon Trainers - Twilight’s gonna catch ‘em all, whether they like it or not.

Hungover Ponies - Dash finally made to the front of the line for Cider Season, and paid the price.

Salt/Frustraton/Anger - This is obviously before that latest Roadhog patch

Ghosts - Dash, I think someone may have a grudge against you.

Unnecessary Censorship - Um, Tank…?

Surprised - You did WHAT to Bon Bon’s oats?! (Obviously One Piece inspired, thank you based Oda)

It’s kinda fun to look back and see my progression as an artist. But not too far back. Only nightmares lie there.

Here’s all of this week’s 30 minute challenges!

Ponies in Winter Clothing

Tacos

Minty

Ponies leaving out milk and cookies for Santa

Ponies in Santa costumes/Santa themed clothing

The Hearth’s Warming Spirits (bet you thought I’d do the spirit of Hearth’s Warming Past or Presents, didn’t you?)

Clouds

Special shoutout to @pabbley. I was inspired to join thanks to him. Dude’s a machine.

Still got some other projects to finish by tomorrow, hopefully. But until then, Merry Christmas, y’all!

Today’s My Little Pony Drawing School Drawalong prompts, all done in 30 minutes or less:

“Paint” - Seems I was mistaken about what this prompt was supposed to be, so I did two drawings in MS Paint with my first 30 minutes.

“Space” - Luna subbing in for the Dreamworks’ kid.

“Evil” - Staring it right in the face.

I recently joined the MLPDS for a bit of guidance. I was a little hesitant about joining in on the drawalongs, especially when you’re surrounded by so many other more experienced artists (talk about feeling out of your element). But they’re kinda fun, and force me to be creative in a brief amount of time. What do y’all think so far?

Pretty sure that was a war crime.

I liked Quibble Pants, so I made a comic. I draw slowly and burn out quickly, so it took me a week.

1) AJ
2) Pinkie
3) Rarity, Fluttershy, and Twilight (no particular order)
6) Dash

And even though she’s not officially a part of the Mane 6, I give special consideration to Starlight. Unless they’re going to spin her off into her own series of reformed bad girls (yes pls), it’s time for a Mane 7.

And before anyone says “Why do you hate Dashie? She’s best pony, you’re just a stupid dummy butthead,” no, I do not hate Rainbow Dash. She just irritates me the most out of the six. 

Also, you are a stupid dummy butthead. Preemptive burn.

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.
