It's true, that vaguely citrus blob that's standing in for best pony is infact the first canon pony I've drawn, to the best of my memory. I've drawn a reasonable number of other peoples OC's and a good number of pictures of my own, but this is the first time I've tried a pony from the show at all.
I did enjoy doing the ABC Meme, had some real fun with some of the faces (And others punched me directly in the feels repeatedly. Seriously, I did them in alphabetical order so at one point I had to do Lonely, Miserable and Nervous, one after the other. It was such an emotional palette cleanser getting to do Obnoxious after that).
