Description
Was hit pretty bad with the flu and took some time working on this one to build several themes. While I do like cross-shipping Chopper and Fluttershy, I like to keep them in character out of respect of their respective in which I see very little done in fanart, so I wanted to place emphasis on “Body Language” than just characters staring at each other or “smooching”.
Given the plot ideas from past pictures, I placed Tony Tony Chopper separated from his crew and found his way to Equestria during the two-year time skip in One Piece. He has been studying and training his body with the help of the Mane 6 and their friends. Establishing close ties with Fluttershy due to their mutual bond/communicating with animals (and being the crybabies of their respective friends), she takes notice of his eventual growth and new-found confidence.

Layout concept:
- Butterflies and Sakura blossoms (Fluttershy and Chopper’s respective themes)
- Spring (left) and Winter (right) background (Fluttershy always felt like a coming of spring while Chopper comes from a winter island)
- No dialogue text needed, will have to clean-up the dialogue bubble greatly, but Fluttershy sees the recent growth spurt of Chopper and compares how they were the same height when he first arrived.
I really enjoy actually drawing these two since Chopper offers a variety of different forms (chibi hybrid, reindeer, hulking humanoid, anthro, etc.) and wanted to get a reaction from Fluttershy and the rest upon seeing it.

I was setting up the image go with this song
but you went and jumped ahead to this song
or have Chopper ready to sing this
and when he returns to his crewmates they have this song ready
