This is my submission for the Artist Training Grounds’ week 64 theme: draw a mechanical or robot pony. Initial idea was to just go with a straight up robo!Twi. However, about halfway through laying out the initial sketch, I decided to go for power armour instead. And what would Twi do if she designed power armour? Geek all over it! ^_^
This was a request for the birthday of a certain little girl.
This kind of reminded me why I don’t draw colour Fluttershy very much: yellows are a pain to work with.
So I was going through my drawings of Dusky and realized that all my newer ones were more complex poses and whatnot. Which is great, but that means all my ones that would be better for references are outdated both in terms of design and my skill level (painfully so in many cases). So here’s a nice little sitting pose that shows off her bangs, mane, tail and cutie mark.
This is my second submission for the Artist Training Grounds’ week 63 theme: draw a pony recovering. A post-battle one in this case.
This is done in the same fashion I did extra pages last year: done in a single 24 hour period using the ATG’s current week’s theme to preserve the NATG feel. Although it’s just one in this case since this is the final page in the story.
This is my first submission for the Artist Training Grounds‘ week 63 theme: draw a pony recovering.
I hate wheels so much right now. At least 1/3 the time spent on this was trying to get the perspective right. I don’t think I even 100% succeeded in the end, either.
This is my submission for the Artist Training Grounds’ week 62 theme: And that’s how Equestria was made! Twilight could tell you once she’s done her research and writing her several (hundred) page report. 😉
Spent a little less time on this than I would have liked, but the NATG kinda put me into crunch mode. Still turned out pretty close to how I’d like it to have.
This is my third submission for the Aug NATG2012 Day 30 theme: redo any previous theme or make a late submission. Like last year, I decided that meant I was going to do all 29 themes again. Although unlike last year I couldn’t cram it all into one page without wrecking the flow.

This is my submission for the Aug NATG2012 Day 29 theme: draw a pony celebrating or graduating. Well, working this one in was a bit of a challenge. The final panel is no big fireworks party, but you can bet scarred!Twi’s celebrating after all that.
