Submission for Equestria Daily's Cutie Mark Crusaders Day, featuring Babs Seed and Gabby the griffon.

Things I meant to post earlier, but never got around to until now: Various G1 ponies, drawn sometime in August or September.

Part 1: Baby Leafy (the calf), Dainty Dahlia, Masquerade, Baby Lucky Leaf, Baby Woolly (the lamb), Baby Fleecy, Cupcake, Buttons, and the teeny twins Sniffles and Snookums (not to be confused with the Newborn Twins!)

Part 2: Oakly (the moose), Baby Leaper, Squirmy, Mimic, Flurry, Baby Sunnybunch, Cherries Jubilee, and Merriweather.

Submission for Equestria Daily's Applejack Day. This piece uses a slightly different style, with thinner outlines, different eyes and muzzle, and no eyebrows.

An assortment of G1 ponies, from the later years of the toyline. (Secret Beauty is missing the little brooch thing on her chest, and her cape's colors are slightly off. Also, she now has an actual cutie mark under her cape! :P)

Experimenting with transparent backgrounds; here's an assortment of G3 ponies.

(Glitterbelle is supposed to be translucent and glittery, but it's kind of hard to tell.)

This was also from June. It was inspired by this: www.deviantart.com/aztrial/art…

Moondust: A bit of a daydreamer, who is calm and relaxed.

Pristina: She has a bit of a green hoof, and tries to enjoy the little things in life.

Misty: Careful and cautious, she always watches her step.

Sunbeam: The "leader" of the group, and generally the most sensible and rational one.

Dawn: The youngest and sweetest one, who often makes breakfast for the others.

Taffeta: Peppy and cheerful, but also rather clumsy.

A doodle I made back in June but never bothered to post until now. (The blue circle was there first.)

(imagine if this was the catalyst for the events of the special /jk)

Truly and Magic Star from G1. Sort of an experiment with brushes in MediBang - for the top one, I used the sumi brush, and for the bottom, I used the pencil (so it looks a bit wonky.)

NATG XIII - Day 30 Prompt: Draw a pony graduating / Draw a pony making their dreams come true. And that's a wrap! My original idea was to do something with Moonstone, since that was the first pony I drew for this year, but I figured that this would be better. Some things are a little off, but whatever. (This was a pretty fun time! Hopefully I'll have enough time to do this again next year.)

NATG XIII - Day 29 Prompt: Draw as many previous prompts in a single picture as you can / Draw a pony scrambling. Past prompts used: 1 (standing), 2 (bursting with life), 6 (sport/bliss of triumph), 8 (another species), 10 (activity I like to do IRL), 11 (new friends), 12 (foretelling the future), 13 (acting fishy), 14 (preparing for showdown), 15 (ponified media/crossing over), 19 (daydream), 20 (summer activity/feeling the heat), 24 (Pandora's box) + 29's other prompt (scrambling) Side note: The green dragon isn't an OC, but rather the one who came with Silver Swirl's original toy! (also this took me like six hours to make)

NATG XIII - Day 25 Prompt: Draw a pony celebrating your favorite holiday / Draw a pony taking a breather. The unlucky, long-suffering Posey Bloom manages to catch a break for once! Here, she's at an ice cream/coffee shop with her best friend (and potential girlfriend?) Windy. It also features Sky Skimmer from G2, who I've been planning to use in a prompt since Day 20 (though I'm probably going to use a different shade of yellow next time).

My submission for Equestria Daily's Lyra and Bon Bon Day.

NATG XIII - Day 23 Prompt: Draw a pony partying like there is no tomorrow / Draw a pony raising the roof. Figured I might as well draw at least one G2 pony for this year, so here's Light Heart! (It would be kinda cool if they brought back at least one G2 character in G5 - for example, Princess Silver Swirl.)

NATG XIII - Day 22 Prompt: Draw a pony facing a mistake from their past / Draw a pony putting the pieces back together. I used this one as a bit of an excuse to draw Sprout, a character that I don't draw very often. Basically, Senor Butterscotch (Izzy's unicorn construct thing) has broken somehow, and Sprout is trying desperately to put him back together before Izzy finds out. (Two of my original ideas were Sprout solving a jigsaw puzzle (something like that old "incredible giraffe puzzle" video) and a version of this piece, but with Sprout and Misty.)

NATG XIII - Day 21 Prompt: Draw a pony staying up late / Draw a pony kept in the dark. Twilight Twinkle and Tangerine Twinkle (both from G3) watching some fireflies. I used the airbrush in Medibang for the background, and the sumi brush for the ponies; this creates an interesting "out of focus" effect. 

NATG XIII - Day 20 Prompt: Draw a pony enjoying a summer activity / Draw a pony feeling the heat.  A relatively simple piece, featuring Seaflower from G1. She was one of the Sunshine Ponies, who had hair streaks that changed color in the sun.  (I was originally going to include Sky Skimmer from G2, but I changed my mind. I'll probably use her in a future prompt, though.)

NATG XIII - Day 17 Prompt: Draw a pony facing their worst nightmare / Draw a pony scared senseless. Based on this little headcanon I had, about Sunny being afraid of spiders for some reason.  Don't panic, Sunny! They're not trying to hurt you! Hopefully...

NATG XIII - Day 15 Prompt: Draw a ponyfied version of your favorite book, game, ect / Draw a pony crossing over. Here's an idea I've had for quite some time, but never actually got around to drawing until now! Hitch finds himself in a strange new world... where the critters still won't leave him alone. And his badge is missing. Again. (also it took me about 3 hours to make this)

It's Lemon Zest from Equestria Girls, but in pony form! I think it turned out pretty good.

NATG XIII - Day 12 Prompt: Draw a pony foretelling the future / Draw a pony experiencing deja vu. In which Sunny finds the mysterious box from Season 4, which she may or may not remember seeing before. What's in the box? Is it Rainbow Power again? Or something different? Who knows?

NATG XIII - Day 9 Prompt: Draw a pony lining their pockets / Draw a pony finding the silver lining. A bit literal, but here's the pony Silver Lining from G3 finding... a silver lining! During a rainstorm, of course. (This is my first time drawing a wet mane, so... I also forgot to color in the clouds on her cutie mark.)

NATG XIII - Day 4 Prompt: Draw a pony with a secret mission / Draw a pony being sly as a fox. This is sort of a continuation of my previous one, featuring the changeling disguised as Fluttershy. This time, he attempts to sneak into a party... for reasons unknown. (The pony in the doorway is meant to be Posey Bloom, though I didn't feel like drawing her mane or tail.)

NATG XIII - Day 3 Prompt: Draw a pony gearing up / Draw a pony taking the world by storm. Here we have "Fluttershy" (actually a changeling in disguise, though you wouldn't know it) captivating the ponies of Maretime Bay!... except Posey Bloom, of course. (This took me a couple of hours to finish, since I used my new drawing tablet that I got yesterday to do it; that also explains why it looks a bit rough.)
