Confrontation at Spear Pillar
The house that the legacy family was living in felt little tiny for their generational wealth, so I build this modern lakeside villa for them instead.
My entries for the Pokemon trading card game art contest for 2024. I didn't get into the top 300. Oh well, maybe next time...

flutters ^-^ she was my sketch for a 3-way collab that didn't pan out
I love seeing those posts that are like âUgh you guys completely donât understand how cutiemarks workâ âŠ. But itâs from the perspective of someone whoâs only seen g4/g5 XD XD
Because in a broader context, there was no lore explanation given for why ponies had certain cutiemarks before g4. In fact, in g1 ponies were born with their marks (There are baby newborns with marks⊠It does imply that some ponies born with baby themed marks will grow up to be adult ponies with baby rattles or bibs for their marks XD) and more generally the marks are just symbolic of the ponyâs theme/personality (Though there was actually less of an emphasis on personality since most ponies werenât in any shows or anything, just meant to be cool toys)
Even FROM a g4/g5 perspective, I think people are wayyyy too rigid with the âYour cutiemark is exclusively based on your special talentâ because⊠Some cutiemarks can be symbollic and less literal (Take G4 Applejack: You might think âoh her talent is working with apples on her farmâ but itâs actually supposed to be more symbolic of her connection to her family). I also believe it doesnât have to be exclusively about âyour special talentâ because most ponies are more dimensional than just having 1 thing theyâre good at. Your cutiemark could represent something important to you that ISNâT strictly a talent. It could represent something about your personality or your interests.
So I am giving you, g4/g5 fan, permission to give your pony ocs and sonas cutiemarks that arenât strictly âThis is my special talentâ. You are allowed to give them more symbolic marks, Maybe something that is just representative of their story even if it wouldnât make sense as a talent. Give that walter white pony blue crystal cutiemarks you donât have to listen to that one post saying he wouldnât have it because âthats not how cutiemarks workâ (no shade to that other post but itâs not that rigid) Hell you donât even have to think too deeply about their story/personality at all. Take a g1/g2/g3 approach and just make a design thatâs cool to you with themes you like (It can be ANYTHING: a food/color you like, something based on a show/game you like) and then just slap it on your pony and donât worry too much about âwhat this representsâ. If you want to think about it more deeply later, you can. but you donât have to stress about fitting into the rigid âspecial talentâ rules, okay?
