Beaten Old Sketchbook

This was my entry for the My Little Pony design-a-pony contest. Didn’t make finalist, oh well. :( But now that that’s all over with I can upload it here, because it’s awesome. And it’s a level of cuteness that I don’t usually do. Versatility— I has it.

Here’s the description that went with it:

We may wish for unicorns, but what do unicorns wish for? This pony knows that a wish can become reality with enough determination. So today, she begins the first chapter of her own legend.

Today she has a colander for a helmet, a saucepan lid as a chest plate, strapped on with old belts. She has a wooden sword and shield, painted with the castle from a favorite childhood tale.

Some day she’ll have her full suit of armor, and some day she’ll be a hero— the mighty protector of Equestria!
