Description Just some quick sketchadoodle I did while I was lazing about. I did it mostly because I really do love this pairing, but I don't draw it nearly enough. That, and because the older version of this sketch is.... ah... pretty bad. :C So I guess it's an excuse to draw Braeburn and Little Strongheart together as well as a redraw thingy. c:

I won't upload the side-by-side comparison so I'll leave that in my sta.sh. You guys can see it here if you want:
sta.sh/0z8hu9kb0yx

I had a terrible terrible TERRIBLE habit of making the head far too small for the body back then. I'm so glad I grew out of that. T.T I've also gotten a tiny bit better with anatomy I suppose. o3o

ANYWAY! Enough about that! About the drawing itself and such. Meaning it's HEADCANON TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME! >8D

Ahem.

This is pretty much how I'd see Little Strongheart as an adult. She gets bigger than what she was in the show, but she won't grow any taller than Braeburn. I haven't decided why yet, though... I'm going back and forth between her having a sort of birth defect, or with her simply being born small. As such, her legs are a bit thinner and longer than the average buffalo of this universe, and she doesn't have the massive strength others of her kind have. However, she makes up for it with breakneck speed and agility. Pair that with a quick-thinking mind and you have yourself a formidable fighter. She's also the daughter of Chief Thunderhooves (I dunno if that's canon or not. o3o) so she's next in line to be leader.

As for Braeburn, despite him being very much a part of the Apple Family, I don't see him as a particularly large pony. He'd be a tad taller than the average stallion, but he certainly doesn't have the draft-horse his Ponyville cousins have (not ALL Apples are draft-horse like. :/ ). Instead, he's a little more like a quarter horse.

As for the ship itself, I really didn't think much about it, other than thinking it's pretty cute. There are a lot of possibilities with it though, so I'll eventually think of something for their "backdrop" or whatever. What I want to know is how their kid would look if they somehow managed to produce one together. I've seen several possibilities if a dragon and pony got together, as well as the hippogryph being the result of a griffon and pony pair. But never for these two.

...I just may try drawin' one of sheer curiosity. o.O

Buuuuuuuuuuut enough about that. As always, feel free to ask me if you have any questions. Otherwise, thanks a bunch for droppin' by! c:

wonderful ship (and cute really one of my favorites~)
I usually figure Braeburn's body type being more either like a quarter horse (which makes sense), OR a mustang/feral horse... but that's just my opinion -w-

I have an idea for you as to why Strongheart is so small: She is half pony!Β 
Dunno where this came from, but to me it seams like plausible posibility (In the show, to me she seems to look more like a pony then a buffalo in some aspects) !

EarthnAshes In reply to Ratatouill [2014-12-26 17:50:45 +0000 UTC]

It's certainly an interesting idea, but I personally will have to pass. I like the idea of her being tiny but still being full buffalo better, to be honest. o3o

Amazing! And these two are adorable >w< By the way, how'd she get the scars? I've probably asked that entirely too much But, you know what they say about curiousity....

And she probably got the scar from a fight with a predator, say, a coyote or something.

I've always had a soft spot for this pairing myself. Love how you aged Strongheart, too, but oh no, what happened to her leg? That must have been painful.

EarthnAshes In reply to X-I-L2048 [2013-11-04 05:47:44 +0000 UTC]

I'd assume she would get that wound from a fight. Whether it was a sparring accident or a fight to the death, that's up for you to decide. o3o
