I tell ya! Nothing will make you yawn like drawing a character who is yawning! I start yawning just looking at him!

Sleepy ponies are the cutest to draw, also! Inuyasha is not used to sleeping on the ground, but he has made an exception.

Image 1:

Ghostfire, a green unicorn with aqua and blue hair looks concerned as her sister, Spirit Light, a pale blue unicorn with teal hair winces and raises a hoof to shield her eyes. Her one visible eye is clouded with recurrent uveitis. In the foreground, Deidara, a light tan pegasus with yellow hair sits on his haunches obliviously eating a banana.

Ghostfire:Hey sis... you okay? Is it another migraine? You need a break?

Spirit Light: No... no I'm fine... it's just... that guy... his aura is... bright...

Ghostfire: Who? Banana guy? What do you mean his aura is 'bright'?

Spirit Light: I don't know... it's just...

Image 2:

Deidara's outline is shown wreathed in bright flame colors, the center-most point of brightness is located around his cutie mark, which is an obscure symbol vaguely reminiscent of teeth and stitches.

Spirit Light: It's just... bright. Sort of like rage... but also not...

Spirit Light: It's all centered on his strange cutie mark...

Spirit Light: I've never seen anything like it...

Image 3:

The same scene as the first image. Ghostfire has lifted her head to address Deidara, who has turned his head with a quizzical expression. Spirit Light has buried her face fully in her foreleg.

Ghostfire: Hey banana boy! What's the deal with your cutie mark?

Spirit Light: Ghostfire! You can't just ask somepony what the deal with their cutie mark is!

Ghostfire: I can when their cutie mark is so weird that my blind baby sister can see it!

Spirit Light: It's still rude! [softly] And I'm not a baby.

Sorry the long hiatus! I've been struggling with a bad depression flare-up and it's been a struggle to do the things I like, but I made an effort to drag myself out of the pits this weekend.

I've already got a couple PNGs of Drako floating around I keep re-using so I'm not uploading every single face variant I made for this little comic. I promise I'm not trying to play favorites with Drako, I just love drama and he's very good at stirring it up.

Regarding that drama, my boy is just a bit ignorant, seeing as how his only interactions with mlm have been Jakotsu and Suzaku, both of whom were effeminate, deranged, predatory sadists. Thanks, Rumiko. Maybe someone can open his eyes up a little? Or maybe that someone will just be offended that Inuyasha doesn't see him as sadistically murderous enough.

@askponydei is eternally cute. No notes. Love to draw him.

I also really enjoyed drawing Jakotsu. I re-watched the whole Band of Seven arc, taking notes on all the crazy stuff he said to Inuyasha to pick out just the perfect line for the flashback. Thanks episode 119. I'm also especially proud of his cutie mark. It's a snake making a heart shape because he's supposed to represent the deadly sin of lust and his name means "snake skill" and his sword is supposed to mimic the movements of a snake. I even color-picked the teal from the leaf patterns on his yukata!
