Hope Glimmer 37 January 26, 2016 Share January 26, 2016 (edited) Greetings everypony! It's been a very long time since I've taken the time to draw, but back 'in the day' it was a very big part of my life. MLP has inspired me to pick it back up, and over a period of time I gradually developed my OC; Hope Glimmer. She is very closely based off of myself (with a slightly more interesting backstory to boot), and so this character means a lot to me. Here are two chibi-esque drawings and a bust in a more 'serious' pony style. Glad to be drawing again, hope you enjoy! Note: On the itti-bitty chibi I forgot the white nose marking. Oopsie. <3 Edited January 26, 2016 by HopeGlimmer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope Glimmer 37 January 26, 2016 Author Share January 26, 2016 (edited) That's a lovely character! What's the story behind her cutie mark? Thank you! It really means a lot. I just checked out these photos on mobile and the colors look a little different; but not bad. Whew! As far as her cutie mark goes, I'll do my best to explain without turning this into a novel. Hope's special talent is her ability to connect with others in a way that surpasses simply socialization. She sees that we are all connected, one in the same, all pieces of the larger puzzle of existence. She's a very thoughtful, meditative (and even spiritual) pony. She has a passion for 'plugging in' to this puzzle, and feeling the one-ness which is everypony and every living thing. As a result, she is very empathetic and understanding of others; even when they aren't 'perfect'. The purple and eye represent the 'Third Eye' discussed in various metaphysical teachings (as well as Buddhist philosophy and Hinduism). The heart in the pupil represents her love of 'The All', which includes everypony and all of nature. The little blips radiating from the eye represent 2 different things: 1. How she sends love to everypony (and all living things). 2. How far her reach. I hope that made sense!
