Barding/warding, I wouldn't have known either way, but now I do! I wanted to keep it simple for now while I develop my basic pony drawing skills.

Thanks for the input, Silverwisp! I know I need to work on original poses, thank you also for the anatomy sketches! By all means, use the helmet design and work your magic on it, I've seen your work, you're amazing! Warding? I'm afraid I don't know what this is. I'll upload more in a new thread as my sketching progresses.

Using another dvd... I improvised on her body, the original picture shows her behind Rarity. I am not sure how I am going to finish this one yet so Pinkie is a party of one. Her belly seems fat, probably the sweets.

Her skin color did not translate through the scanner very well. The original is more orange-y. I used only colored pencils with the cover of the season one dvd as a reference.

Thank you all for the critiquing and positive feedback! I will post more sketches as time goes on. For now, I've got to get back to sketching!

Thanks for the input, I will definitely be working on improving. I have plenty of ideas I'd like to sketch. That reminds me, I need coloring pencils!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=302KXlpagA0 This is the tutorial I found this morning. Made a few attempts, each showing improvement over the last. Going to look up more through the creative resources forum.

When I first saw these, I thought you had watched the same tutorial I did. Nice work! You're going to be great at drawing ponies!

Ok, here is the tank pony again without the obstructed cutie mark. The following pic is my first two drawings. The one on top has a hair style I used to use when I drew comics (super heroes) @TwistedShadow I think I spent over an hour on it making tweaks here and there on the tank pony. Still not finished, I'd like to ink and color it. The first two were kinda rushed. Thank you for the compliment!

Scanner having issues but here is my 3rd attempt. I always play the tank role in mmorpgs so this tank pony was my first inspiration as an OC. For now I am calling him D-Block, which can be left to interpretation. A happily married pony who wishes only to protect the one he loves and defend those in need from the terrors of The Everfree Forest. The thubnails can be ignored as they are just conceptual ideas, I need more practice in drawing poses and angles. I managed this one from watching a tutorial on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=302KXlpagA0 When I get my scanner working again I'll post the first two I drew. I made a mistake when I saved this one on the cutie mark! I will re upload the fixed images soon I hope!

My best friend and I pulled off a gas and dash. Back in the day, you could pull up to a fuel pump and start fueling without having to prepay or swipe a credit card. My friend was driving this old Ford POS (piece of sh**) and we were in a neighboring city and low on fuel. We pulled up to a pump closest to he highway and filled up. While filling up the attendant came walking outside near our car, I assume we looked suspicious. No biggie. As we began to leave my friend drove towards the building as if to look like we were going to pay, then hit the gas and we bolted. He turned up a nearby side street instead of the highway to make our getaway. This street led to a dead end in a construction site where he had to make a quick U-turn to get back out. On the way out of the construction site, he failed to exit on the road that led in and went over an embankment that dropped about 6 feet in a Dukes of hazard moment. Two tires were blown in the process and we were forced to drive past the gas station we just hit. After making a few more turns around side streets, we found a place to stop and assess the damage. Now it gets funny. My friend opens the trunk to look for a spare and finds it full of pillows. We were like "wtf?" BUT, beneath all those pillows were two spare tires. This car was fairly new to him so he had not explored every facet of the vehicle. A huge sigh of relief came over us until we couldn't locate a jack... He left to go find some assistance while I waited with the vehicle. Some time later he returned with a kind stranger. We get to talking and inform the person of how we came to be in our predicament. The stranger informed us that his stepdad owned the gas station. We both froze. He broke a smile and said he hated his stepdad and it was cool. We all laughed and learned our lesson to never do that again. Almost forgot, on the way back to our hometown, a cop car emerged behind us and followed until we reached the city limits, flashing lights came on just briefly like a warning before he pulled over to turn around, leaving us to continue home.

I would imagine black silence. The only thing I'm gonna see and hear for all eternity? Shoot, I hate having a song stuck in my head for a day. let alone eternity! Repetition that keeps repeating continuously over and over would be as redundant as deja vu happening all over again and again and again and again and again... Let me make this clear once more so as not to repeat myself again in an endless cycle of redundancy, doubling infinitely to the point of infinity +1 or more.

This was just my interpretation. I read a lot into my own dreams and images therein. I never claimed to be a professional Take it with a grain of salt.
