7/10 - something I could have runnin' in the background while I work on stuff tbh. Have some Joanna Newsom, because her ethereal freak folk and her howly voice make me feel feelings:

@Dynamo Pad - Done and done. uwu

https://mlpforums.com/topic/180298-seeking-rp-partners/?tab=comments#comment-5426076 @Dynamo Pad Evening had broken faster than she'd originally anticipated. In the stillness of the warm-colored prelude to dusk, Widdershins hoped that the sound of wooden wheels on cobblestone wouldn't upset anyone who had left windows open, during supper. The mare had trudged out of Everfree Forest like an unsettling omen, toting her wares and worldly possessions in the small wagon that she drove. All the better, she supposed, to set up late and be fresh and bright, in the morning. The darkly-colored tent was set up along the edge of Ponyville and, while there were certainly a few stragglers out and about at this time of day, the lot of them seemed to leave her to her work of organizing crystals, counting candles, shuffling tarot cards. She hadn't been to this town in quite a long time, and she couldn't help but observe what were likely the quietest hours of the day with an appraising, almost envious eye. Things were so peaceful here. Ponies with cozy homes and cozy beds, eating warm meals with family and friends. ...Nonsense. Malarkey! She ought to be grateful for what she had, she'd tell herself. She had an ornate rug to splay down in the tent to keep her off the ground, plenty of pillows to make it cozy, and at least a few apples to tide her over until tomorrow. Then she just needed to work her magic, tell fortunes to wayward souls, peddle a spell or two, and she could look forward to a nice, hot meal of her own. "Maybe I should ask the cards," she mused aloud, "what kind of business I should expect, tomorrow. Business owners? Vengeful rivals? Lovers, pining away?" She scarcely believed anyone was paying attention to her train of thought...

I hope it's okay that I had a go at doodling a couple different hairstyles for her! Also narrowed her eyes a little bit for that sarcastic tomboy vibe.

@Dynamo Pad Excellent. uwu Sounds good to me. I'd be happy to start up a thread if you want to give it a go, or you're more than welcome to if you have an idea in mind.

@Dynamo Pad Sure, I'm down for those. ^^ And it could take place in Ponyville or Fillydelphia, basically wherever Dynamo would be. I'm thinking Widders probably travels a lot to sell her spells and fortunes.

These sprites are gosh-dang adorable. <333 If it isn't too much, could I request a walk cycle of ma gurl Widdershins?

I'd almost say that the foreground car needs a bigger tire. Whenever I'm not sure of how to draw something, I keep a reference right next to me and work with that. Reflections on things like glass and metal tend to be pretty crisp, so that might also be a thing that you'd want to experiment with. You can also give a sense of movement by making the hair/wings look ruffled or brushed back - even tipping the hat up a little like it's about to fall off, if they're going really fast! Don't be afraid to experiment with techniques or look up references. I'm really liking this piece overall though, I can tell that you've put a lot of work into it!

I'm digging those colors. Reminds me of the reggae color scheme. =u=

Not an accent, but I've been made fun of for misusing the wrong word in a sentence. If you had to get a gift card from someone, what kind would you most want and why?
