Last-minute submission for Equestria Daily's Student Six Day. Did a bit of cross-generation stuff for this one.

Four different characters, in a more G4-based style.

Here's Violette Rainbow. Can't wait to hear her voice! (and/or potentially see the zebras Skye and Mariama?) (also her cutie mark is slightly off)

Here's an attempt at a comic. Based on this silly product I stumbled upon while looking for ideas: https://collection.museumoffailure.com/heinz-purple-ketchup/ (Specifically, while looking at pictures of the Hawaii Chair, some cheesy infomercial product I saw in a YouTube video.)

One last round of drawings before the year closes (still 2023 where I live). Happy (early) new year!

First drawing: random set of doodles. Purple mouse critter is a wishing nymph, like Milkyway from the latest arc of the G5 comics.

Second drawing: various G2 characters in a UPA-ish style. (left-right, top-bottom: Clever Clover, Fire and Flame, Giggles and Wiggles, Bright Bramley) (completed earlier this month)

Third drawing: just a friendly assortment of characters.

Decided to do something where there's an actual environment. (and also I was kind of starved for ideas)

One of the many ideas floating around in my head.

This was made yesterday. A trio of teal/turquoise ponies from G1: Mirror Mirror, Wiggles, and Princess Pristina.

This is from last month; it's an experiment with different brushes. Characters depicted: Bangles, Wishful the Bushwoolie, Princess Royal Blue, and Smokey the dragon.

(SPOILERS FOR MY LITTLE PONY MAKE YOUR MARK CHAPTER 6)

A set of drawings from tomorrow's final batch of episodes (and special).

This one was started last Friday, and I decided to go back and finish it.

These I drew today - it's another G1-style set.

Notes:

I was debating on whether Twitch (the rabbit) should say hand or hoof. (Also, they would probably have an annoying voice.)

Violet Frost (the unicorn)'s mane is slightly off. And Allura (the leopard)'s mane is shorter.

Didn't feel like drawing Thunder's helmet, so there.

Submission for Equestria Daily's Cutie Mark Crusaders Day, featuring Babs Seed and Gabby the griffon.

Things I meant to post earlier, but never got around to until now: Various G1 ponies, drawn sometime in August or September.

Part 1: Baby Leafy (the calf), Dainty Dahlia, Masquerade, Baby Lucky Leaf, Baby Woolly (the lamb), Baby Fleecy, Cupcake, Buttons, and the teeny twins Sniffles and Snookums (not to be confused with the Newborn Twins!)

Part 2: Oakly (the moose), Baby Leaper, Squirmy, Mimic, Flurry, Baby Sunnybunch, Cherries Jubilee, and Merriweather.

Submission for Equestria Daily's Trixie Day. Featuring Trixie, but drawn in a slightly Imalou-esque style. (hence why the fetlocks on the legs look a bit awkward)

My submission for Equestria Daily's Pinkie Pie Day. Pinkie becomes a unicorn! What happens next?

My (somewhat late) submission for Equestria Daily's Sunset Day. (I couldn't really think of a good title for this one.)

(this was done and submitted yesterday)

Based on some random sketches I did in comics class. The designs are based off the original G5 concept leaks, plus the G1 Twice as Fancy and Twinkle-Eyed ponies. (Pinkie looks a little awkward, and Fluttershy's hair reminds me of Izzy a little.)

This was also from June. It was inspired by this: www.deviantart.com/aztrial/art…

Moondust: A bit of a daydreamer, who is calm and relaxed.

Pristina: She has a bit of a green hoof, and tries to enjoy the little things in life.

Misty: Careful and cautious, she always watches her step.

Sunbeam: The "leader" of the group, and generally the most sensible and rational one.

Dawn: The youngest and sweetest one, who often makes breakfast for the others.

Taffeta: Peppy and cheerful, but also rather clumsy.

My submission for Equestria Daily's Rarity Day. It's Rarity, wearing a bucket hat and eating some Dippin' Dots!

A doodle I made back in June but never bothered to post until now. (The blue circle was there first.)

(imagine if this was the catalyst for the events of the special /jk)

Pipp as a unicorn, based on an old drawing I made. Her crown is based on a piece of concept art for the movie. (her front leg is a bit awkward - she's also somewhat slimmer than usual)

More MediBang brush experiments (kinda), featuring Wind Whistler and Galaxy. For the top one, I used the sharp pen and wet watercolor brushes, while for the bottom one I used the G pen.

(I've actually had that Wind Whistler design lying around for some time - it was a G5 redesign, inspired by Posey Bloom.)

Some drawings of Zipp and Misty in the G1 art style, semi-inspired by the latest Tell Your Tale episode. I basically just looked at screenshots of the G1 cartoon and drew from there. (also Misty's mane is a bit off in the ones where she's facing right)

Not the first person to come up with this idea, but yeah. I wanted to draw a sort of comic cover after seeing all the recently revealed ones, but I had some trouble coming up with ideas initially.

NATG XIII - Day 29 Prompt: Draw as many previous prompts in a single picture as you can / Draw a pony scrambling. Past prompts used: 1 (standing), 2 (bursting with life), 6 (sport/bliss of triumph), 8 (another species), 10 (activity I like to do IRL), 11 (new friends), 12 (foretelling the future), 13 (acting fishy), 14 (preparing for showdown), 15 (ponified media/crossing over), 19 (daydream), 20 (summer activity/feeling the heat), 24 (Pandora's box) + 29's other prompt (scrambling) Side note: The green dragon isn't an OC, but rather the one who came with Silver Swirl's original toy! (also this took me like six hours to make)

NATG XIII - Day 24 Prompt: Draw a pony making a great discovery / Draw a pony opening Pandora's Box. Misty finds herself lost in a deep, foggy section of Bridlewood... and discovers someone, somepony, who might know the answers to her true, pre-Opaline past. The design of the other unicorn was inspired by this: www.deviantart.com/bear-mation… (I hope I didn't borrow too much.) Fogless version: sta.sh/02ddwe17x7ap

My submission for Equestria Daily's Lyra and Bon Bon Day.

NATG XIII - Day 22 Prompt: Draw a pony facing a mistake from their past / Draw a pony putting the pieces back together. I used this one as a bit of an excuse to draw Sprout, a character that I don't draw very often. Basically, Senor Butterscotch (Izzy's unicorn construct thing) has broken somehow, and Sprout is trying desperately to put him back together before Izzy finds out. (Two of my original ideas were Sprout solving a jigsaw puzzle (something like that old "incredible giraffe puzzle" video) and a version of this piece, but with Sprout and Misty.)

NATG XIII - Day 18 Prompt: Draw a pony experiencing a miracle / Draw a pony forging their own destiny. Misty finds herself surrounded by butterflies, one of which happens to be her future cutie mark. Is it a dream? A vision of what's to come? You decide. (For this one I used the acrylic brush in Medibang. I wouldn't consider it to be truly "lineless", but it checks out!)

NATG XIII - Day 14 Prompt: Draw a pony preparing for a showdown / Draw a pony gathering their courage. Izzy is ready to help her friends stop Opaline... with the power of the Ultra Sword! (Yep, that's a Kirby reference.)

NATG XIII - Day 13 Prompt: Draw a pony up to their old tricks / Draw a pony acting fishy! Twiggie commits a classic crime... or she would, if Enilapo didn't interrupt her. Who is this "Opaline Arcana" you speak of? (The fish costume was inspired by the many literal interpretations of the latter prompt that I saw.)
