YOYOYO, happy birthday!! 

I apologize if the picture looks overdone or anything. I swear I didn’t mean to do that. And I’m sorry if I messed up on anything ;3; I tried. 

*AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*

It looks fantastic! (Your art is good, shut up.)

Thanks a bunch, Sam (the one I know IRL)!

In Your Hooves

In my blog, Post Crusade, Rarity has yet to make an appearance. While I was thinking on how to tie her in to the story, I came up with this little idea of her becoming the new mayor of Ponyville, succeeding the retiring Mayor Mare.

Ponyville elections work on an open ballot. Voters write in their choice and the names are tallied. Majority wins the positions, as long as the winner accepts the offer. Terms are 6 years.

Rarity’s works of generosity for the town has made her popular and she’s offered the position of mayor. With a vision of change for the small town, she accepts.

The Boutique is moved to Town Hall so she can manage it while still managing the town. The vacant tent of the former boutique becomes a studio for Sweetie and her music groupmates.

Her platform is not very different from her predecessor, but she emphasizes the value of image. She proposes a remodel of the town square, moving the town’s new telephone lines underground, a push to host more public events and activities, and create a council for public works.

In her downtime, she still manages the Boutique, designs new lines, and work on orders. Fluttershy and Coco Pommel (in Manehattan) also work on orders on busy days. 

A little thing I’ve been thinking of.

Hey there! I drew this for you last week. I already said it before, but you’re my biggest inspiration and one of the main reasons I got so far as an artist, so I wanted to draw something to show you my gratitude.

So, I just want to say that you’re amazing! ^^

AAAAAAAHH OH MY GOSH!! *A*

It looks fantastic! I love it! Thank you so much!

(BTW, I’m plugging your blog. Shining Bonds Dinky, everyone!)

Mod: (be sure to click the image for the full size version) Commission from AzureGarlic (warning, blog is on the NSFW side). Anthro versions of my favorite Main Six and CMC (minus Babs) blogs. I’d been asked in the past about what my favorite ones were, and to be honest, I have a lot, especially in the case of Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie. But these, this group here, are my favorite of the favorites.

From left to right we have Pirate Dash, Another Twilight Sparkle, Lying Applejack, Demotivated Pinkie Pie, Umm Fluttershy (a newish blog and definitely worth checking out), Motherly Scootaloo and Lighting Blitz, Raritrap, Apple Bloom from Post Crusade, and Sweetie Belle from Teenage Crusaders Answers

I’m going to be doing inking and flat colors on this over the next week or so as well. I’ll be doing that over the occasional livestream.

AAAAA look at cute little Apple Bloom! <3
