Ponies, Ponies everywhere. Yes, I too have discovered My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. It's actually a really good show, and is definitely worth checking out. I wanted to do some art, but had no idea what of. I had several ideas, and couldn't decide which to go with. Finally I decided to just put a bunch of them together. And of course, as with all my long pictures, they'll need explaining.
1. I can't help this. Whenever I hear the title, I think of that line from Yu-Gi-Oh The Abridged Series. Thankfully, MLP:FiM is far better than having to listen to one of Téa's friendship speeches. YamiPony's hair is epic. Also, their cutie marks. Téa's is the friendship symbol from the first episode. Yami's should be obvious.
2. GIGGLE AT THE GIYGAS.
I've been in a Giygas mood again - it's now a year since I discovered him. I must confess, tracing was involved in this one. Pinkie Pie was entirely traced, while Twilight Sparkle and Rarity's heads were traced. I just wanted them on model, since I still don't think I'm good at drawing ponies yet. Giygas wasn't traced, since I draw him near constantly during my theory lectures that I ignore every week. Also, can anyone spot what's up with Giygas..? Also, actual dialogue from the episode. Giygas' was going to be hand-written; I write his dialogue left-handed, but the tablet hand-writing was too legible.
3. OH HEY I'VE GONE ALL SELF-REFERENTIAL AGAIN. Yup, the 'Secret Weapons' from my original series Alton Island. As ponies. I actually designed these on the plane back from Japan last week. I redrew and refined the designs for this. Nemesis now has his proper eyes, and they're awesome. Since he has some kind of alien power, I made him a unicorn. His cutie mark is just because he kills mercilessly. Oblivion originally wore his jacket, but it looked stupid, so I just kept his tie. Being the most normal Secret Weapon, he's an earth pony. His cutie mark should be obvious for Alton Towers fans. Air doesn't look as good as her original drawing. Being a goddess, she had to be an alicorn (unicorn pegasus) like Celestia and Luna. Also, her cutie mark should be familar to AT fans. Trinity. Oh god, Trinity. I LOVE how she turned out here. That mournful look is one of my favourite things about this image. Her cutie mark... duh.
4. DERPY HOOVES! DERPY DERPY DERPY. I friggin' LOVE Derpy Hooves. She's my favourite pony of all, so she was bound to make an appearance in this one. I only came up with this image earlier today. Originally it was going to be a picture from the fanfic 'Dinky doesn't go to school', which is sad and adorable. Then I thought of Dr Whoof. I like the Derpy/Whoof pairing. I don't actually watch Doctor Who. The only episodes I've seen are The Age Of Steel and the last 10 minutes of Journey's End (Tenth Doctor ftw). I was thinking of drawing the scene of Rose and the Doctor's clone, but then I thought - they talk about when they were last together. What was that like? So I watched their goodbye scene from Doomsday. My god, is it heart-wrenching. Sorry Derpy, but you need to re-enact that scene. [link] Again, some tracing involved. The colours came out really well on the background.
5. CONFOUND THOSE PONIES AND THEIR CATCHY SONGS. Winter Wrap Up is my favourite song from the show. I heard it, then I couldn't stop singing it to myself. [link] Also, Rainbow Dash shirt, lol.
