This is my first submission for the Artist Training Grounds’ week 12, day 3 theme: draw Dashie.

So plenty of people out there do alicorns of the main six, which got me wondering how they might fare with just a species swap. Since this is Dashie day, I have started with her. Since there’s a eleventy billion “Dashie loses her wings” fics out there, I think earth pony is pretty much covered. Which leaves unicorn. Seems my imagination thinks some things will never change.

This was a 90 minute speed shading (40 of which was spent trying to contrast that mane o.O). I actually ended up breaking out the 4B here (*le gasp*), too.
