    4. No bunny Applebloom yet? Too bad, that was the cutest thing I've ever seen.

    5. @MrTuzzor

      It's one of the parodies of the stretching portraits in the Haunted Mansion ride at Disney World/Land.

    7. Surprised at the lack of new episode references. It's been 15 hours what's taking so long!

      People watching bronycon instead of drawing? Probably... :P

    9. This sort of makes up for today's "See that grey and yellow pair of pixels in the line-up for the Zap Apple jam? That's your Daily Derpy Fix"/"Can you say 'deleted scene'?" thing DHX Media Vancouver (what Studio B is called now) hit us with today.

    10. Out of this batch, I'd have to say my favorite is 6 and 8, though I do like 9 and 22 as well.

      Heh, 9 would most certainly make the odd crossover.

      ReplyDelete
    11. yay drawfriend! weird how thers barely to none relating from todays episode

      ReplyDelete
    12. 7,12,16,21, Those just blew my mind.

    13. A few of these I've seen in a past drawfriend I think.

      Also #17 totally redeems that terrible phrase.

    16. @MrTuzzorIt's the Haunted Mansion portrait at the various Disney parks

      ReplyDelete
    17. #3: A fun little portrait of an angry Pinkie Pie; I wonder if she's about to assault someone with that cake...

      #4: It's always nice to see Twilight Sparkle and Celestia just chilling together; this is just a charming drawing, with excellent linework, coloring, and shading.

      #7: That's a rather dark image for a Drawfriend, isn't it?

      #8: Those two always look cute napping together. Rainbow Dash's tail being draped over Fluttershy is a nice touch.

      #9: Now that's an unexpected crossover drawing. Both characters are strong enough to basically warp their respective realities, but I'd say Celestia has a slight edge.

      #10: The artist did an excellent job of capturing each Crusader's personality through their expression as they're running; I love seeing fun, cartoony images like this.

      #13: A bit more humanized than I like, but I do appreciate seeing Octavia just doing ordinary pony things.

      #14: It doesn't matter who best pony is, Fluttershy is always cutest pony.

      #20: Can Equestria survive the existence of two Pinkies? Love the use of color.

      #21: Another steampunk drawing, this time featuring a radically stylized Rainbow Dash; I love the final result.

      #22: The third in the series of Haunted Mansion inspired drawings; Twilight actually looks pretty calm for someone perched atop a keg of high explosives.

      #26: And a nice action image of Rainbow Dash to close the drawfriend.

      ReplyDelete
    18. And so Celestia joined the Sith army

      ReplyDelete
    19. #3 What's wrong Pinkie? That looks like a perfectly good cake to me.
      #6 SQUEEEE... Such a cute medicshy.
      #7 Pinkamena alicorn? Insane!
      #16 What's the OC here? If it's a fic I want to check it out.
      #17 Yes, yes she does.
      #20 Both those Pinkie Pies look awesome, fun piece.
      #22 Looks like Twilight got into the same business as Trixie... Only a little more dangerous.
      #23 That's one mean looking alicorn.
      #24 Dawww... Trixie just needs a little love <3
      #26 Dash with a flaming sword? Works for me.

    24. Twilight why you be standing on that there Dynamite? Silly pony.

      ReplyDelete
    25. The new Drawfriend is here! The new Drawfriend is here!

      Looks free of new episode spoilers on first glance as well. Let's get to it.

      1) Swanky club! I wonder where Twilight carries her I.D. She doesn't look old enough to avoid being carded.
      2) Spitfire even flies in pin-up formation! I like the collection of the airborne cast.
      3) How dare you take the cake! Nice work from Caine Scroll of Irate Pinkie. I loved her little freak-out from that episode.
      4) A very sweet Twilight and Celestia as well. Twi is such a teacher's pet... No wonder she could never be Dash's.
      5) Still like this one.
      6) fluttershy makes any hat cute. It's a gift.
      7) Interesting... is that a Pinkamena Alicorn? The chubby little Luna and Celestia are adorable.
      8) Dash's plot is the best pillow? Well, why not?
      9) The Darkside has nothing on the magic of friendship. I did not see this image coming, somehow.
      10) The fun is guessing who/what they're running from. Rarity? The Cockatrice? Angry bees? Speaking of bees, was today the first episode with bees where Twilight didn't get stung?
      11) Still like this one.
      12) Is that Scootaloo? What bad influence got her smoking? Probably that unsavory Camel.
      13) I didn't recognize Octavia right away, but I do like the relaxed breakfast scene quite a bit. Nicely done.
      14) It's definitely cute, yes... but I was really hoping for some bunny suits. Love her adorable, excited grin.
      15) "I don't know what hit me officer... I just saw a flash of cyan and red, and then the world went black."
      16) Hmmmm... I'm guessing that's blood from the title. Yikes. A striking image though.
      17) Heh... I like this one a lot, and she does indeed.
      18) Rarity has let her hair grow out. Neat graphic design.
      19) Aw... Celestia is the best big sister ever. A very cute drawing of the sisters.
      20) The Pinkies of two dimensions should never meet! It could disrupt the entire space-time continuum! Although it does make for a cute image...
      21) Now that is an awesome Steampunk Dash. I really dig that different style.
      22) Poor Twilight. She always seems to get the worst of things. She best finish that book quickly.
      23) Is that one of the Nightmare versions of Celestia? I'm really digging "The Empty Room".
      24) This made me laugh because you know it's true.
      25) A beautiful landscape and an charming pony make for the start of a good quest, I think.
      26) How does Dash become even cooler? A flaming sword ought to do it.

      Ah... I needed another Drawfriend. Let's not skip a day ever again. Many thanks to the talented artists for sharing their work, and of course my thanks to Cereal Velocity and the EQD staff for taking the time to put this together for us all!

    26. Hey Seth, I heard you got a Trixie Drink at BC for free? :D

    27. @jackknife98
      The Cutie Mark Crusaders are running away from the scene of their latest failure to get their cutie marks.

      And #1 is definitely more impressive in full size than as a thumbnail. Great job with the colors and details.

      ReplyDelete
    28. Woohoo! This drawfriend looks awesome, though I'm slightly surprised there's no Young Granny Smith yet, people usually hop on this stuff faster than I can even watch the episode...

      #1: Is that Octavia at the bar? Great mesh of people and ponies in this, not to mention the detail of it all!
      #2: I like the embers around Spitfire in this one, would be great if every notable pegasus got their motif in their trail, though that might be hard to pull off.
      #3: ASSAULTING IT WITH CAKE! Pinkie Pie is best projectile user!
      #4: As much as I really love sweet and simple pics like this, I will point out that I believe Celestia is having some major problems with her right eye, what with Twilight stabbing it and all. Or maybe I'm just seeing things that aren't there.
      #5: Giant wing version of Rainbow Dash... I really like the art style of this, other than the fact that her head seems a bit small compared to everything else, I'm VERY fond of this one. Just looks sleeker I guess?
      #6: D'awwww... Fluttershy would be a great medic, just make sure she's well out of range of whatever dangers are associated with who she's treating. Injured Fluttershy hits me harder than a punch to the gut...
      #7: Alicorn Overlord Pinkamena...? Oh...that's rather bad. With a cupcake motif to boot! Points for the creepiest I've ever seen filly Celestia and Luna as well!
      #8: Best pillow AND blanket! ...I bet RD's tail is soft...
      #9: I think this one might be more tense if Celestia didn't look so... gleefully determined? Hard for me to pin down the words for that expression, but it makes me almost feel bad for Vader being on the receiving end of Celestia's wrath.
      #10: Terrified CMC, maybe they're running from #9?
      #11: Meep... ponies witnessing forest fires is always something that gets a tear or two from me... but her eye in this... Very good job portraying that terror and sadness just from that. This one actually hit me kind of hard.
      #12: Interesting, I like the darker tone of this, though I think the black eyes may have been going overboard.
      #13: Octavia? Yep! I think I'm repeating myself by now, but I'm very fond of these simpler pieces. Just that tired happiness, makes me think about how I love mornings that turn out this way.
      #14: Fluttershy cuteness overload! The full body pajamas would be plenty enough to push me over the edge, but that FACE! She's just so happy! I can't help but smile and laugh as well.
      #15: Simply drawn Rainbow Dash is kicking my screen. And it's awesome.
      #16: I'm not really sure what's going on, but it's... 'tense' is the wrong word, but I'm not really sure what else to say. It's a beautiful piece, and under other circumstances, I'd love to use it as a wallpaper... it just makes me feel a bit uneasy. Still a great piece though.
      #17: Stylish Rainbow Dash makes every other use of that caption irrelevant!
      #18: Squee! Implied Rarity on a solid dark background. Love stuff like this!
      #19: Oh my, points for cutest filly Luna I've ever seen, as well as biggest d'aww for the royal sisters that I think I've ever emitted!
      #20: Uh oh, Pinkie cloned herself, this could possibly be the worst or best thing that's ever happened, and I'm not sure which one.
      #21: Gotta love steampunk ponies! Interesting style with this one too.
      #22: Uh... Twilight? Are you turning into an explosive pyromaniac? And you might want to teleport out pretty soon!
      #23: If there was ever a more sinister Celestia, this would be how I'd want her to look. This one's actually kind of scary.
      #24: Ah... good ol' Trixie! Dreams like that would make me happy too!
      #25: Twilight and awesome scenery. Instant joy!
      #26: I'm not sure who or what Rainbow's going after holding that sword, but I'm completely sure that I don't want to be it. Also pegasi with swords should be a thing now, this pic is too great.

    31. THANK YOU! Great drawfriend today! Sure made up for the lack of 'em yesterday!

    32. Loved the Twilight HM Portrait. Unfortunately tomorrow I'm expecting ponies dressed in bunny suits in the next Drawfriend Stuff.

      ReplyDelete
    33. I so jealous of everyone art. I wish I had the patience do draw.

    34. Luna in #19 is just plain adorable.

    38. I want #22 as a bookmark! Twilight is best place-holding pony.

    39. Join the dark side Celestia.We still have cookies and Darth Malice made some amazing eclares. You have not lived till you tried them.

      ReplyDelete
    40. I think that #9 would make a rather entertaining comic. A discussion or a fight between these two, either one would be great.

      ReplyDelete
    41. We are go for commenting!

      1. I love this...it's elegant, detailed, and rather interesting. I'm going to hazard a guess that the humans we see are characters from some other show or webcomic or something. I don't recognize them, but they give off that sort of vibe.
      2. Our happy little named fliers. Yes, we see you, Ditzy.
      3. Keep it up, Pinkie! Don't let up an inch with that cake!
      4. A cute moment of a student with her teacher. No, I refuse to accept the possibility of the Twilight/Celestia pairing. It's too full of uncomfortable implications for me to like it.
      5. While it may be a duplicate, it's still one of my all time favorite pictures. The majesty of Rainbow Dash's wings...
      6. Medic Fluttershy is ready for duty!
      7. Okay, this one is really creepy...fat chubby Celestia and Luna fillies aside, why the heck is Pinkie of all ponies cast as their mother? Creeping me out.
      8. Heh, Fluttershy is using Dash's flank as a pillow. That amuses me almost as much as the cuteness factor.
      9. I dislike Star Wars. Princess Celestia, I humbly request you strike down Darth Vader before he becomes more powerful than we can possibly imagine!
      10. They're running from number seven, I'm guessing. I don't blame them.
      11. Isn't this also a duplicate? Maybe. Or maybe it was used for a story of some sort. Still rather pretty, but Ditzy really should get out of there.
      12. Scootaloo! Smoking is bad for your health. Stop it.
      13. I'm guessing this is Octavia? Beautiful portrait.
      14. YES. Fluttershy is cutest bunny.
      15. Um, her face sorta melted into the rest of her body. It's a nice picture, but it has some definite oddities.
      16. ...oh...oh dear...what happened to that poor pony? The artwork is beautiful, so it's almost tasteful, but the blood is...definitely there.
      17. Yes you do, Rainbow Dash. Yes you do. (Psst. Artist. We need more SweaterDash. Think you can manage that?)
      18. A lovely sillohuette, though I almost wonder if this didn't accidentally leak over from a Wallpaper compilation post.
      19. What?

      ...

      WHAT? I'm just...giant Celestia filly with that weird muzzle shape...I am so confused...
      20. This one is also confusing. I like how the two are in slightly different art styles, just enough to differentiate them. Is one supposed to be the show's Pinkie while the other is someone else's, like a Tumbler poster, maybe?
      21. Dashie looks a bit more like a Gargoyle here than a Pony, but it is definitely beautiful. That tail, though...good grief, were you enchanted or something? Clip that thing. It's way too long.
      22. Twilight, no! You have too much to live for! DON'T DO IT!
      23. This is supposed to be Lauren Faust, right? So why does she look so...pissy?
      24. Even when dreaming, Trixie puts on a fine show. I sometimes wonder how much of the personality she displayed in that episode was purely for showponyship...as in, that's not how she actually acts in her daily life, but it was just the persona she adopts for her shows. Maybe she's a much nicer pony in normal life. That'd be kinda nice to find out.
      25. The moon is disobeying Luna again...showing itself in the daytime. A beautiful picture.
      26. By Dash's flaming sword, enemies will be cut down!

    42. @MrTuzzor

      Its a picture from Disney Lands Haunted mansion ride. the pictures are cut off in the middle so they look like normal portraits, but drop down to show the entire part when your in the house.

      ReplyDelete
    43. #14. That's even cuter than the one of Fluttershy in a snuggie.

      ReplyDelete
    44. #9 would be totally amazing
      and #19 is just so dawww

      ReplyDelete
    45. I am riding sky high after getting back from BroNYCon, so I'm gonna give these pics a look before I crash.

      #1 Now this must be quite the place to party at. I'd go there, and I'm not even a club person.
      #2 Airshow, Equestria style! Yay!
      #3 Don't you dare mess with Pinkie Pie's desserts!
      #4 Such a sweet moment between student and teacher.
      #5 Epic Rainbow Dash! What else can I say?
      #6 Can medics be cute? I think so.
      #7 Pinkamena as queen?!….
      #8 Oh this is just too adorable.
      #9 Vader, this is Celestia you're going against, you know.
      #10 What did these silly fillies do this time?
      #11 She looks so troubled here.
      #12 Never could have pictured Scoots like this.
      #13 Octavia sure is looking cheerful this morning.
      #14 Epic cuteness!! *Squee*
      #15 Dynamic pose indeed!
      #16 There's just something about this that is both epic and tragic at the same time.
      #17 This look seems perfect for an awesome pony like Rainbow.
      #18 Beyond gorgeous.
      #19 This is almost too much adorable to handle.
      #20 This must be the best day of both of their lives. A duo that can keep up with each other no matter what.
      #21 Steampunk ponies always look awesome, even more so with Rainbow.
      #22 More 'Haunted Mansion' ponies. Nice. LOL'd at the book. So ironic, huh.
      #23 Celestia turning completely to evil sounds pretty frightening, but makes for an awesome pic.
      #24 Guess she dominates her own thoughts while in her sleep.
      #25 Wow. Beautiful
      #26 Not enough words in the dictionary to describe how epic this is.

      ReplyDelete
    46. @Kyronea
      #23 is an evil/tyrannical Celestia, according to the artist's page... Essentially from an alternate history where ponies loved Luna and jealousy transformed the older sister into a Nightmare version instead.

      ReplyDelete
    47. Wait a minute, several people are saying 11 was already on a drawfriend? If so, someone submitted it without telling me about it. *checks* Someone did! Though they used a link to my FA account instead of my DA. I was wondering why it was super-popular (by my standards) on FA.

      I guess I should be flattered instead of annoyed, at least.

      Anyway, sorry for dupe. I'm just not normally vain enough to check real close for my own art on past stuff. I just skim these things for art I haven't seen before, usually.

    48. #22:

      THIS...is the most DANGEROUS THING EVER!

      She...has a BOOK!

      ...bewaaaare the booook...

      ReplyDelete
    49. #9 By the look on Celestia's face, it almost seems that she was expecting him. Also that she isn't planning on fighting him, rather more sit down and talk over a drink. This leads to the conclusion that Princess Celestia is actually part of the Sith, and Luna is the Rebel Alliance. I believe this was not what the teams were originally...

      ReplyDelete
    50. #12 13 16 are my favorites mainly because of the serious and contemporary felling the give. And I'd like to hang them in my house.

    52. I tend to think that the "Pinkamina Alicorn" is Pinkie Pie's true mother, Princess Cupcake Sprinkles. When Discord took over Equestria, Princess Cupcake Sprinkles used the last of her strength to send Pinkie away after Discord had taken away Pinkie's alicorn traits. Celestia and Luna went on to kick Discord's ass and seal him in stone but they assumed that the daughter of Princess Cupcake Sprinkles was destroyed and took advantage of the power vacuum to take over the throne. Being adopted would explain why Pinkie looks and acts nothing like the rest of her family.

    55. 1) Lots of detail encouraged a closer look. Nice.

      2) Everything is better when followed by a particle effect.

      22) We are treated to another Haunted Mansion portrait - ponified!

    60. Illustrator for pic #1 here... first up thanks to EqD for featuring it.

      To answer a couple of comments (because I get self-indulgent like that):

      @Harwick (soz, haven't figured out how to do the linky-answer thing yet) - Where does she keep her ID? Umm... +1 mane of holding? There is an option B, I'm trying not to think about it.... maybe she has a bag stashed behind Rarity's seat.

      @Broznik - Yeah, it's Octavia. It wasn't going to be but it just sort of turned out that way. On my original sketches her cutie mark is different.

      @Kyronea - The human bloke and girl behind the bar, as well as the couple by the stairs are some of my characters from various other projects (it was just easier to populate the background with folks I already had designs for), other than that the rest are just randoms... as are the two OC ponies.

      That said I seem to have taken to mentally calling the glassie-pony "Teddy" for some reason and the girl on the far right "Henrietta".

      @cheezesauce - Well, your sort of CAN go to that club, the design was based (loosely) on "Cloudland" in Brisbane, Australia http://www.cloudland.tv/ which looks much cooler than what I drew here... it does unfortunately however, come sans-ponies.

      I'm really late with this, but thanks for giving some more information on your drawing!

      To do the linky-answer thing, use the 'Reply' button that's with the comment you want to answer. If you want to reply to several comments at one time, you can copy the little bit of HTML that appears in the comment box when you use 'Reply', paste it into another window to write your answer, then close the 'Reply' window and go on to the next comment; once you're done, copy all the text in the window where you've been writing your answers, and paste it into the normal comment box at the bottom. (All of this presupposes that Blogger doesn't change things without warning again, of course...)
