NATGII Day 7 - 'Grizzly' Combat

My submission for Day 7 of Equestria Daily's Newbie Artist Training Grounds II - A Pony Facing Conflict or Locked in "Grizzly" Combat. Phoe points out in her post on ED that we're not to get gory; she didn't want to see an "ocean of blood", unless its a landmark. Originally, I was going to do just that; showing a pair of ponies visiting a literal Ocean of Blood, and arguing over their choice of vacation spots. But then I realized that Fallout 3, and by extension Fallout: Equestria, contains mutant irradiated bears called Yao Guai, and I had to go with that.
So, here we have a trio of wasteland scavengers who, upon approaching an abandoned ruin, discover that it wasn't as 'abandoned' as they had thought. Faced with the prospect of a literal grizzly combat against the massive mutant, the wastelanders decide to approach this conflict with the time-tested strategy of "get the hell outta Dodge!"

I think this picture came out pretty well for two hours worth of work, which includes time looking for certain images to use as references! I'm actually surprised that I created it that quickly; it would appear that I am indeed learning how to draw ponies. It does have some issues: the bottom pony should be larger (due to being closer to the viewer than the others), there should be rubble around the ruined house, and I had planned on making the Yao Guai bigger than that as well. But I'm still pleased overall.

Style Experimentation: Nothing new here. It seemed pointless given how tiny the ponies are.

Credit goes to and for creating MLP:FiM.

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

I've seen someone else doing this (I forget who), so I'm gonna do it too!
