Ask Another Twilight Sparkle

Last and also least, it’s a sketch draft for my part in the birthday collab for Ask-Trixie, a better picture that contains everything in this sketch, but in an improved, finalized form (including the absent-here detail of the black outlines and white-line highlights Trixie used at the time being used on Trixie, but not on Twilight in an effort to preserve the each-character-being-their-own-thing idea from the composition).

It’s a humanized Dash! For no reason I can explain! And I didn’t even finish coloring her whenever I did this.

Welcome to day two of the ATS Stray Art Roundup! Also known as “the second and final time this roundup had anything remotely worth showing off.” Seriously, don’t get your hopes up for the rest of this thing. We’re going in descending order of “being worth seeing,” since for all I know people are gonna be unfollowing when this crap reminds them that they are, in fact, following this blog.

This one was clearly a Golden Oaks Mafia thing of some kind that I, for whatever reason, decided to sketch out and then do lines and color on tracing paper. Why? I have no idea. It clearly enabled me to do the outlines in darker-but-the-same colors like the show does, but I could have done that in Paint Tool Sai. Maybe I wasn’t able to use the tablet at the time? No idea.

Regardless, here it is. Don’t ask me what the actual content of the update was supposed to be. I have no recollection of this or what it was for whatsoever, so all I know is what I can tell by looking at it.

I’m 12 and what is this?

I was doing some cleaning while sheltering in place and I found some old stuff I’d drawn for the blog that had never seen the light of day. And since I’m not updating right now, but 67 people are still following this blog, who knows, you guys might be interested in seeing pictures for updates that never were. So! Starting with this one, I’m queuing these up to go up one per day for the next few days.

This one in particular was for an update I’d intended to do for a long time (but obviously never finished) where I’d take an ask I’d had sitting around since the blog’s early days asking why Twi didn’t just romance a different tumblrpon Trixie and go around to basically every Trixie blog I’d ever followed -- in an imitation of that Trixie blog’s style -- and have Twi explain why they weren’t an option. I don’t remember what the punchline was, but it was probably something like: “Besides, my Trixie and I have our own thing going,” while pushing Trixie off that damn cliff yet again or “Besides, I’m not one to complain,” while Trixie pushes her off the cliff yet again. Something like that.

Not gonna keep reblogging it here because I hate doubles on my dash and I imagine other people do, too, but my little thing is continuing over at the Twibrary.

I don’t even do updates or commissions, but I suppose there’s no harm in asking. It wouldn’t be the first time a request hit me sufficiently just right that a picture resulted from it.

Sketches from Bronycon ‘18.

I met a friend for dinner when he visited Baltimore for Bronycon 2017 and he had people doing sketches. Consequently, as I was drinking a milkshake, this happened. Today he got me a picture of it, so... hey, actual Twilight content! Who’d have guessed?

Also, there’s an Applejack after the jump.
