Part two of my family photo series is dedicated to the Shy family. A very likable family indeed, who would have thought that Fluttershy is actually the assertive pony in the family? Well, not counting Zephyr, that is. He is the odd family member for sure. Initially I hated him quite a bit in the beginning. This has changed over time, somewhat, though “like” would still be an overstatement. I know too much characters like him in real life to fully trust him to get a grip on his life.

This time I practically reversed my usual drawing pattern. While most of the ponies consists of pre-existing vectors, I take responsibility for all the background! The intention from the start was to set this pic up somewhere in the Shys’ home in Cloudsdale, until I discovered that there are no good indoor backgrounds of it around. So I took matters into my own hooves once again and drew it myself, based on screenshots, as accurate as possible. Well, there’s some additional detail here and there as well.
