Description

Happy 35 Years, My Little Pony!
 
Prompt was Draw a previous generation character meeting a G4 character, and my favorite characters from the first generation have always been the sea ponies. They seem to me like they were supposed to be “Sea Horses”, but the simplified way that they were represented really opened my eyes to how much information a simple line can communicate in a cartoon.
 
And as much as I like to think that Octavia or Rarity are my favorite G4 ponies, I have to admit that when I dream of ponies, I dream of Fluttershy. I guess I just have a thing for the “quiet ones” who have that certain, indescribable, “inner fire” that only shows itself when it matters.
 
The media was a bunch of pencils from Holland that I bought in the ‘90s from someplace in the U.K. and never, ever had even opened, along with some Bristol board that I bought about the same time that I just never had the courage to tear open and mess up with lines. And the pencil sharpener was my father’s, who died in 2001 and I’d never unpacked his art supplies until now.
 
So - thank you to everyone who put this event together - I’m happy to find that all the stuff I’d packed away when my dad died still works, and it seems like drawing isn’t completely in my past :)
 
(Tagging NaNoWriMo because that’s a NaNoWriMo mug in the upper left corner, and given that NaNoWriMo starts in just a couple weeks, it’s apropos, however tangentially)
