This is the end result of a bit of a daisy chain. I was inspired by Lonely Island’s Jack Sparrow to make this parody which then inspired me to do a piece of art to go with it.

This is my third submission for the DA Artist Training Group’s week 4 theme: draw a pony inspired by a song. And boy, did I ever have fun with this one.

Ponifying Bolton was a little bit hard just because I wasn’t going to be able to use any clothing to represent him, since he was going to be wearing a Twilight Sparkle costume. I ended up making it a bit roughshod on purpose in order to show off his hair. I did consider colouring him white and then spray painting lavender on, but I decided I’d already gotten the point across with the other stuff. Other than that, it was a really easy Twilight Sparkle trace with a few quirks.
