Description Just a reminder to all of us to cut ourselves some slack.  Everyone can mess up from time to time, no matter how humble or grand others may imagine us to be.  And on a side note, have you hugged your local Princess today?  She might need it.

I probably should have offered something more celebratory for the announcement of Season 5, but as I was sketching this is what came about.  I did decided to work a bit of New Castle background in there, though, so it's somewhat on topic!  I'm excited about the new season, and the promise of more travel, adventure, and that 100th episode entirely featuring supporting and background characters!  Should be a blast, and I suspect a certain cross-eyed mare will get some time to shine in it.  Will they restore her voice?  Give her that fan-imagined Mailmare position?  Who can say?

Feel free to sound off with your own hopes and comments for Season Five...


After being told to do so numerous times, I have finally set up a tip jar at Ko-Fi :  ko-fi.com/harwicksart
If you're feeling generous and would like to encourage me, feel free to drop me a small amount... it would be most appreciated!

When Twilight Sparkle became the Princess of Friendship she was given a great trust by the ponies of Equestria. One day she was called on to honour it in a letter. She only had to invite the mail mare back in and read the letter, which read as follows: "Dear princess, my mommy gets sad when people make fun of her eyes. Please show her she has more friends than just me. Dinky."

Awww! Right in the feels! I think Derpy and Twilight deserve each other a hug.

I don't like how there is still so much hatred and backlash from those two ponies.

Sure Derpy has made mistakes, but that doesn't mean you should make fun of or hate her. (sigh)

And Twilight... sure she has wings and the Princess of Friendship, but that does not make her a bad pony and she is not immortal. She is still bookish and the same adorkable self.

I'm really hoping Derpy will be in season 5, Derpy is great in the show, though the fans made Derpy just as memorable and loved as any of the mane six are. I see this is how Twilight would react to Derpy's story, knowing how she may not have friends and may be a social outcast. Though I have seen fan art where Carrot Top is her best friend, maybe episode 100 will give us some insight into the canon reality of Derpy's life.

TheOneAndOnlyPerhaps [2015-04-08 22:43:43 +0000 UTC]

I want Derpy to come back as a respected character. They just treated her as someone mentally disabled. She's just clumsy! She has a special talent too, show her doing something cool, and let her be appreciated by the others.

TheOneAndOnlyPerhaps In reply to VictorReisSobreira [2015-04-16 23:25:46 +0000 UTC]

I'm saying that they portrayed her as a retard. No, that wasn't clumsy, that was just horrible.

They wanted to pander to the audience, and even picked up her name and stuff.

But she's not a retard >.> I'm saying that they did a really poor job with her character, and its a darn shame.

terrorthatflaps [2015-03-30 17:02:57 +0000 UTC]

Wow, this is amazing.  I just love your style and, well... I really do like their manes.   (Seriously -- the shading is wonderful... particularly in the manes/tails.  I'm terrible with any sort of shading, so that's a skill I envy.)

I'm so excited that season 5 is finally about to start, and I especially can't wait to see the 100th episode.  I do wonder how many headcanons out there will be realized/pulverized, though.  As for my own hopes... really, as long as it's well thought-out and written, I'm fairly easy to please in regards to pony.  I was mostly wanting more worldbuilding, and it looks like we'll be getting that. XD  I do love Princess Luna and Discord (though not together XD), so any episodes focusing on either of them would be a bonus.  Also, more about Celestia and Luna's past and/or any info on Fluttershy's family, would be nice.

yes! derpy. More please. This will be a true test of the power of fan driven characters. Did they truly save derpy or just a compromised shadow of her. season 5 will shed some light on this. (hopefully). BTW great picture!

Since Derpy is my favourite character (Can you tell?) this piece really stuck out for me. She is not only the cutest but certainly one of the more relate able ponies of the show for me. I think I need a hug now. No matter how different you are, you will always be loved no matter what.

I'm going to be chased away from here with torches and pitchforks, but I am fed up with this type of portrayal of Derpy. 
It's like you guys feed off of Derpy's tears. 
Derpy may derp from time to time, but she wouldn't even harm a fly.

So that's what the 100th episode thing is about? I heard something about it just didn't see any specifics. Hah! I called it! Definitely wanted to see a background pony episode just once, and we gonna get one!

...Although it'll probably destroy all my beautiful headcanon.

This picture is glorious and heartwarming and HNNNNG. Dammit, man, are you trying to kill me with the feels? All the feels. ALL OF THEM.

The 100th does look pretty good, and it has been suggested that the Mane Six don't really have a role in it at all, but we will see.  Thanks for the kind words!

mbreeden62 [2015-03-12 00:39:52 +0000 UTC]

This is very touching and heart-warming. I love Derpy's expression...she just wants Twilight to be happy! I like the way you wrapped their tails; to me this adds a more intimate touch to the emotion in this picture.  As always such a beautiful work of art.

I too am looking forward to the 100th episode that our beloved Derpy has a role in it. It looks like a good season from the trailers! I like following the comics as well. I have every issue except numbers 3,4 and 5 of the micro series. I think they do a great job of exploring the characters more deeply and in exploring the world of Equestria. Thank you for such wonderful art. Have a good day!

Thank you kindly for your comment!  I really appreciate the kind words. 

I quite enjoy the comic, different from the series though it may be.  And I highly recommend Issue #3 of the Micro Series, which I believe was the Rarity issue.  I think it's easily one of the best ones that they've done!
