What happens when you put 3 plushie makers in a room and ask them to make a pony plush in 1.5 hours?

THIS! This is what happens!

@lumithekirin.bsky.social @hibiscustitch.bsky.social

Make this adorably atrocious monstrosity yours; they’ll be in the @everfreenw.com charity auction tomorrow!

OH MY GOD! You’re so right! I didn’t even notice that while drawing it, just ran low on purples haha ‘^^

Thank you so much! It was a lot of fun to do something so goofy!

Aww thank you so much! I’ve had this art of Gobi on my wall since you gave her to me, she’s beautiful in your style! The wing detail especially still amazes me!

Siletrea is an amazing artist that should definitely be on your radar! Beautiful model work, and stunningly detailed art! Still in awe of this piece <3

Siletrea @siletrea.bsky.social · Aug 10

I really feel like I started nailing down my artstyle by the time I finished this gift for @gobiraptor.bsky.social of her incredibly unique fursona! I'm always in awe of how detailed and eye catching her art-style is so I'm really glad that this turned out good in the end!

Canterlot in the New Age (Side B)

New postcard going out to patrons soon!

A young blue pegasus pony, Concorde, walks on a cobblestone plaza overlooking a dramatic vista of a city, with impossible vertical construction like a ten storey tall arcade with a city street on top, and an eclectic mixture of medieval, georgian and victorian architexture, with sleek modern additions and urban greenspaces, and adorned with flags, banners and murals celebrating the neighbourhood's autonomy and self-governance, and other initiatives like a federated community kitchen system, a tool library, and a people's committee. A billboard advertises Her Majesty's Vanguard. There are trains, bicycles and pedestrians, and the only motor vehicle is a single city services van.

Oh man I’ve been working on the sketches for some new additions and one would fit my pony…

Searching for how to make a pledge to my own Kickstarter lol. I must fulfil my self-insert shipping dreams!

We found some glasses that fit Cocoa from @trotcon.bsky.social too well. Cider’s looking a bit funny too…
