HalflingPony's Art and Musings

<Insert Catchy Theme Song Here>

Chancellor Neighsay: "Honestly. I've enough to do maintaining Equestria's standards of education without dealing with insane ponies."

I've a feeling this joke is shortly going to be done to death (if it hasn't already), but I still couldn't resist.

On the off chance anyone viewing this missed the reference, Chancellor Neighsay is voiced by the venerable Maurice LeMarche, famously known (amongst hundreds of other roles) for voicing a certain hyper-intelligent mouse...

Gosh. Long time, no see, eh? Truth be told, I’ve been a little burnt out and needed some time to unplug lately. I haven’t even logged in to my Tumblr or DeviantArt accounts in well over a month.

Tempest in a...

Ever had a really dumb thought that just wouldn't get out of your head?

Nopony'll Even Recognize Us

Stupid Prissy Unicorns and Boorish Unkempt Pegasi

My submission for the MLP-ATG-Alumni group prompt "A Disagreement".

Going Out With a Blast (ATG7 - Day 30)

Well, that's ~30 days of intense arting over once again.

Congratulations, everyone! Thanks Calpain!

Light at the End (ATG7 - Day 29)

My submission for the ATG prompt, "Draw a pony reaching the end."

Continuing Lyra's half of the journey...

Lost in Wonders

Will I Ever See You Again?

But I'd Rather Be At School (ATG7 - Day 28)

My submission for the ATG prompt "Draw a pony at school".

Poor little AU Twily. Why would she want to be in school with a bunch of boring sea ponies when she could be at school with a bunch of neat books?

I’m sure there will be a bunch of people going for the “school” pun- especially with the new movie coming up and sea ponies on the brain.

Get Well Soon (ATG7 - Day 27)

My submission for the ATG prompt, "Draw a pony on the mend".

Vinyl will never cease to annoy Octavia. Bon Bon will never leave Lyra to fend for herself. But it seems like the old Derpy/Carrot Top pairing has largely gone by the wayside.

I kind of miss it.

An Age Before Magic (ATG7 - Day 26)

Fluttershy: "Really? Choreography?"

Twilight: "I know! Can you imagine having to wait for somepony to plan a dance routine before your village can break into song?"

Snowboarding (ATG7 - Day 25)

My submission for the ATG prompt, "Draw a pony doing something you've never drawn before."

I definitely haven't done a pony snowboarding before now. I also haven't done anything in quite this style before.

The latter is something of a “happy accident”. I was messing around with layers as I was working on Scootaloo, getting ready to apply more detail on top of her base colors, and mistakenly turned off the outline layer.

The more I looked at how the flat bases looked against the softer background, the more it struck me as right for this piece. So I made a few adjustments to the colors to bring it more in line with her normal color palette and called it good.

The Element of Raking It In (ATG7 - Day 24)

My submission for the ATG prompt "Draw a pony doing the unexpected."

Blocked (ATG7 - Day 23)

To See the Forest (ATG7 - Day 22)

Identifying, cataloguing, making note of observations; consulting books and charts; fiddling with the focus of your eyepiece to locate that one particular celestial object- this is the bread and butter of the avid astronomer.

Being able to recite a hundred facts about a single star or nebula, this is the joy of the academic.

Sometimes, though, you just need to leave all the equipment and references behind and remember what was so wonderful about the sky to begin with.

My submission for the ATG prompt "Draw a pony star gazing."

The Potion Master (ATG7 - Day 21)

Party Line (ATG7 - Day 20)

My submission for the ATG prompt "Draw a pony from or in the future."

Here we have a pony with her mind stuck in the future, another with her practical mind firmly grounded in the present and a third somewhere in n-th dimensional space where past and future are arbitrary constructs.

Bucking (ATG7 - Day 19)

My submission for the ATG prompt "Draw a pony showing off their special talent".

The Running 'Late' (ATG7 - Day 18)

My submission for the ATG prompt "Draw a pony running late."

Lame pun is lame... but not as lame as that zombie's leg, ZING!
