Description Brrrr, why do I have to wear this? It's so cold tonight.
There's so much snow too, though it does look so pretty.
Some hot cocoa sounds perfect, I'd like some please.
Mm, it's very delicious. I guess I can stay out a bit longer.

==============
It snowed here in Texas. It was beautiful and so inspiring for art, but I was sick and had finals. Thank goodness Melodia always cheers me up, now I can truly enjoy the cold weather.

It took me a long time to settle what to draw for this. I was not sure if Melodia should wear something, but figured it would be bad if she was out in the cold naked. She still has no pants though, so she's going to have a cold little butt ;3
This was a quick paint that took me a good day. I actually almost gave up on painting and thought of restarting with just inking, but I'm glad I did not as I really like how this turned out. Plus, I actually got a festive piece for the holidays ^w^

I took a poll and a lot of people were okay if I just relaxed for the holidays--I appreciate the concern. I probably will still do some art gifts and commissions, so I hope that's alright.
Happy holidays, and stay warm like Melodia here, she could use some company >w<

Also I'd like to ask a question, especially with Melodia all festive now. What are you looking forward to for Christmas from this little art community? (like gift from someone, winter-inspired art, etc.)

OC Melodia from me

Featured in Equestria Daily's Drawfriend #2474. Huzzah!
Fun Fact:
Melodia's favourite season is winter. While the cold can be uncomfortable, she really enjoys the festivities and cozying up with pones.
Fun Fact: Hot cocoa is a popular beverage for ponies to warm up with. It not only is pleasant to drink, but also gives a temporary +7 cuddle boost. It is sometimes debated whether hot cocoa should be considered a performance enhancing drug.

Aw, such a cute Melodia- she really rocks that outfit very nicely :^)
Glad you went for a festive piece on this one- holiday themed art is some of my favorite, especially the classic santa-esque costumes.

The detail here is done very well and it works great for these pictures where the pony takes up most of the space. Also, I see that bell on Melodia's tail, which is a neat little detail. I love this- it's always a pleasure to see more Melodia!

Hope you did well on your finals, and I hope you have a wonderful holiday season!

Thanks! #^w^#
Yes, I'm glad I did, especially one for myself. I've been seeing all these ponies in those cute outfits lately, I just had to do it. And yes, Melodia loves to wag her little tail now. O3O
I agree, I've still got to learn composition as good as yours--that and as much detail.
Thank you for the love my friend! <333

Isn't she just soooo precious! :'') Very lovely and fitting work :3 I am thankful for your art. It cheers me up. I am not really good rn. :/

Well, I have nothing that I am specifically looking forward to. All I want is, that my love finds time for me again. And that she's good. :'c She might draw my OC, she said she loves him. :'v Would be so cute. ;;Β

Aww, you poor dear TnT You need more cuddle
Hope you get more cheer, you'll be alright. Maybe with the holidays there will be more time. And you got such a cute OC, it's hard to not want to draw the little butt. <3

Thank you Nova ;w; It's what she once called me too, when I was sad, "poor little cute Roger".Β 
It is not the first time I can't reach out to her anymore. I wonder why. Is she so sad, that she doesn't even want to write me? It makes me sick. What can I do to have a conversation again with her? :'c

But thank you so much, love you <3 I am thankful for your words and support! <33

Aww Melodia is just too cute with these Christmas clothes !!!Β Β Β Β 
I really like the idea, and the color reminder of these irises with the scarf and the socks ^^ (and the little bell on his tail too Β ) I love it !
I guess hot chocolate is a good idea with this cold weather
Ah ! I knew that this snow would give you ideas of drawings Β It is always perfect to forget the worries of lifeΒ Β 
For the clothes, I do not think it's obligatory, the cold does not bother them I think ^^ But the clothes bring a touch of cute and adorable !
You made the right choice for tour drawing, the result is beautiful !Β Β 
And good holiday to you ! ^^ So, we have to expect other gift from you ? I'm looking forward to see this
What do I expect from this community? I do not know really, I do not think getting something... but I'm waiting for some commissions so this is already good ^^

Kyuu >w< ~<33 It's cute to be festive.
Hah the socks and scarf are certainly Melodia's favourite colour, the pink really does help accent her eyes. But of course the outfit is obligatory, Melodia is pretty sure it's the only way she can be cute.
Yus, this piece really cheered me up, and I'm so psyched to do art now--I just need to get some hot chocolate and a lovely morning to get a lot of work done. Hopefully I can get these art gifts done in time, though I am very what order I should publish them.
I hope you're not waiting on your commission from me >~< The most I can do within the holidays is probably just roughs. I'll have to find some way to make it up to you. TuT <33

Cuuuuuuuuuute! It seems like your art is getting better! She's somehow even more adorable than the last melodia you drew! (Although it's kinda hard to top animations X3)
I really like her cute outfit, especially the bell on her tail! Melodia is just an adorable little butt. <3
You take your time and relax this holiday season! Your wellbeing is the most important thing. It's good to hear from ya!
Also by the way I'm jealous of snow. Here in utah, it's barely snowed at all. Like, what gives! IT'S DECEMBER!
Buy yeah, keep up the amazing work friend! You are such an inspiration! Much love <3

Novaintellus In reply to Neonhuo [2017-12-16 16:31:02 +0000 UTC]

Well, it must be the pone accessories I put on her. She's got that cute outfit she can fluff other pones with, that bell she can jingle flicking her tail; yes...Melodia appreciates you thinks she's got an adorable butt ^w^
It's good to hear from you too my friend, and you take your time with your lovely, thoughtful comments--they're such a gift themselves. I guess I'll be relaxing this holiday season; unfortunately I'm so inspired to do art, not sure what but just to do something.
Well, it's been years since we got snow (at best/worst we get ice), and the snow came at night then the next day it was sunny all day. So we pretty much had snow for half a day. I'm surprised you don't get much snow in Utah, maybe it's just so dry? I feel that, nowadays December is hardly the snow season and it's more January and February.
Thank you for the support too, it's mutual inspiration for me to keep make art. <333

Well, we normally have TONS of snow! But like, this year the snow just is mysteriously gone. Maybe VanillaGhosties is stealing again like he did the other year. >:T

VanillaGhosties In reply to Neonhuo [2017-12-16 17:28:25 +0000 UTC]

It's snowed here like 4 times already, so I think you may be right.
But it knocked out my internet so please take some of it back, thanks.

Awww it looks soooo amazing < 3 I LOVE THIS LITTLE BELL ON THE TAIL AAHAHAHAHH xD I hope you're doing all right with your exams, my week of mocks is the upcoming one so yeah... I'm kinda stressed and I understand how you feel x3
I don't except anything for Christmas, but I'll gladly see what people can make with such a coloured theme! (actually I'm more interested in finally getting some rest than in Xmas itself buuuut I still love this period of the year < 3 ).
I'd like to draw gifts for you and some of my friends, or maybe my ocs hugging some of my friends' ocs x3

Novaintellus In reply to Ilynalta [2017-12-16 16:21:31 +0000 UTC]

Aww thanks, I gave her that bell as sort of a last minute idea. I'm really loving all the accessories Melodia gets to wear, she is even more cute >w<
I feel confident with my exams, everything done and I just need to wait on the results. I sort got too close to falling below the A grade, but I had quite an interesting semester learning stuff. Best of luck with your exams, just hang in there and you deserve the holiday break TuT
You know full well you should expect some gift for me, and you should know full well that I might do something brash with yours and your bf's oc. : P If you get to draw gifts for me and friends, then I get to draw gifts for you and friends <33

Waw she's so cute! I love the expression on her face. ^^
These clothes seem to keep her pretty warm, but I still want to cuddle her. Can I? <3

I love this picture! Yeah, she's probably better off wearing clothes in the snow. A coat of fur or whatever ponies have isn't going to cut it, and clothes are cuter anyways

In response to your question, I'm currently involved in an art-based Secret Santa. I still have to finish up my drawing, and it's definitely a pain to make what might be my biggest picture yet while studying for finals, but I think it's coming along nicely. I'm excited to see how it turns out. Presumably, I'll be getting a drawing in return, so that'll be a nice Christmas gift.

Novaintellus In reply to Litrojia [2017-12-16 16:04:25 +0000 UTC]

I know, I imagine ponies have soft, silky fur, not at all enough to combat the cold. Wouldn't want a poor little, cold pone on our hands.
O3O sounds quite the lovelyΒ  challenge. I hope finals go well and I'm sure your picture will be lovely. It's such a nice feeling to be excited for such a large project, and certainly will be satisfying seeing the end product. It would be a great Christmas gift ^w^
