total is 15 hours, both characters took 7 hours, background and shading took 1 hour.

133 layers in total and somehow ibispaint took it like a champ

bonus: renders from 2020 - 2024 (no renders for 2021 and 2023)

i drew one of my cosplays from roblox

okay so we all know it’s a horror au. when drawing the panels i’ll fluctuate between drawing my miis as ponies or as y’know miis.

and when drawing ponies i have trouble keeping a consistent art style so of course i practiced drawing the survivors. and notice how they’re all different sizes? well that’s based off of species and where they came from.

fluttershy, a pegasus obviously came from nimbus.

pegasus are well known for looking like birds(kinda). They have feathers. Fluttershy’s pattern is based off of a house sparrow(?) if i can remember correctly and ironically she’s one of the pegasus with the biggest wings. She is a pure breed after all.

nimbus is the only place where pegasus come from, as that is the environment they prefer. pegasus tend to be more skinny compared to other ponies as they have to be light to at least fly.

now onto the three unicorns. unicorns come in different variety depending on where they come from. neksdor and galados unicorns tend to be more short and stubby with thin coats due to the excessive heat.

elven forest unicorns tend to be tall and skinny with soft, silk coats and curved horns. this is the only breed with curved horns. this breed is the most powerful in terms of unicorn magic because the elven forest is a magical place after all.

peculia unicorns are…random to say at least. they don’t have a set look, same goes with magic. they could look like a elven unicorn but have the magic of a greenhorne unicorn. peculia unicorns have chaos magic but it is rare.

greenhorne unicorns are average sized with a soft coat. they tend to have shorter horns due to having weaker magic.

powdered peak unicorns come in many shapes and sizes with a fluffy and thick coat due to the cold. they have average length horns as they use their magic to navigate through the snow easier.

the magic hierarchy from weakest to strongest is: greenhorne, neksdor, powdered peaks, peculia, and lastly elven. and depending on their job, magic sometimes can come in handy (cleric, mage, scientist, tank, flower.)

rarity is a purebred neksdor unicorn. considering that their magic is weak, rarity is pretty powerful in neksdor terms and being a scientist her magic has improved over time.

tempest, is a purebred elven unicorn. losing her horn has caused some problems for her as she had to give up using magic for a while but the crystal replacement she was given is quite helpful, especially with spells that require…explosion.

the pony next to tempest, even though she has made an appearance in the story i haven’t revealed her name, that’s keegan. as she’s the main hero of the miitopia story she is the strongest unicorn. she’s not a purebreed either as she’s a earth pony and a powdered peak unicorn. the marks on her side is a permanent mark from the imp job — the imp job will leave a permanent mark on the user’s sides if they’re not a species with wings.

noting that keegan and rarity have burnt out horns it’s quite clear that if a unicorn overexerts themselves their horns will get burnt out — it doesn’t hurt them physically but it will give them migraines. after tempest got infected, rarity had to fend for both herself and fluttershy meaning she had to use more energy than she’s normally use to. for keegan, using a bunch of magic isn’t a problem but due to not having to fight much after defeating the darker lord, she rarely uses her magic meaning if a surprise attack were to happen the lack of usage in her magic will have her accidentally use too much energy to defend herself.

if a unicorn’s horn is cracked they are rendered useless for awhile. the horn will heal on its own but they should not use any magic while it’s cracked — the magic will be unpredictable because there’s excess letting more magic than needed out the horn.
