The theme for this month is:

The World's A Tourist Trap

Trying to submit but it keeps redirecting me to April's one?

I checked it in the "+ create" option, and I'm almost sure it's because a submission page for this month's contest wasn't created yet, only the March and April ones appear, I guess you'll need to wait for them to create the May one :crackle:

I have a few ideas . . .

But I'm not exactly sure how they'll work out in the end . . .

We can only speculate . . .

I kinda wanna join, even though I'm not so good :scoots: 

Although I DO feel an overwhelming urge to draw recently, I just hope I have notebook space! 

And I now have a reason to dust off the old pony OCs other than Wintergreen and draw some ponies!

Going equestria girls is the logical way here....

I was also thinking bikinis in the sun, but I'll go for a less... Human approach :mlp_smug:

Good point! Would Gladmain's resort from "Viva Las Pegasus" count too?

I so wish I could draw because I have like 3 different scene ideas that would be perfect for this contest. Good luck to the contestants that can draw, though!

It's @Nitobit that made this Jedi Shiny as a gift for me! It was very nice from him and I'm very grateful to have a silver lightsaber! :P
