NATGII Day 27 - Draw a Fancy Pony

Description

The Equestrian Wasteland is a harsh place for most ponies. Survival here is difficult by default, but when you're a ghoul, and missing a leg, the wastes become a true living hell. But the pony once known as Verdant Pine had long since accepted her lot in life, eking out an existence as best she can. But every once in a while, she finds herself reminiscing about old times. Sifting through the memories of her life before the war. Before the balefire made her what she now is. Memories of her life in the courts of Canterlot. Memories of when she was pretty, of when she could be fancy.

Memories often followed by bouts of intense sobbing...


This is my, unfortunately belated, submission for Day 27 of Equestria Daily's Newbie Artist Training Grounds II - Draw a Pony Attending a Masquerade/Draw a Fancy Pony. This was one of those occasions where I had initially planned to take a break from the NATG, only to have an interesting idea spontaneously appear in my mind. But, unlike previous such occasions, it was not a mere idea that walked (or should I say, hobbled) my mind, but a full-fledged OC design. Alas, my long work shift and time spent on researching pony anatomy prevented my from creating this yesterday. Which is particularly unfortunate considering what happened while I drew this out: I found myself at times, actually starting to cry! I've gotten emotional over the works of other Bronies in the short time I've been in the fanbase, but this was the first time I'd done it to myself. I hope I've managed to convey this emotion in the picture itself; please let me know if I did.

Credit goes to :iconhasbroplz: and :iconfyre-flye: for creating MLP:FiM, and to Interplay and Bethesda for creating/expanding the Fallout universe.

Special thanks to :iconphoekun: for going through the effort to run this massive event.

NATGII events participated in: 16 (out of 27) <-Once I upload this to the second make-up gallery, at least.
Individual ponies drawn: 30 + 4 non-ponies

Over two years ago, I came across this and teared up. I left a comment, I favorited it, and...well life moved on. But this image still has a way at tugging at the heartstrings. Keep on making art Jezendar.
