Another Nightmare Night has come and with it, a new pony pumpkin for Equestria Daily’s Annual Pony Pumpkin Event! The last time in a year that saw new episodes of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic….. And, unfortunately, I’m not proud of the result. At all. Carving pumpkins is very detailed work and due to several things I have to deal and cope with right now, I am not in a good enough mental state for bringing up all the necessary concentration and patience to properly do a work like this. I nearly lost it when carving this pumpkin…..

The idea was to carve a guardiangoyle in a pumpkin, the living statues we’ve seen in “Daring Doubt”, as they are a perfect fit for Nightmare Night. But due to the aforementioned problems, the guardiangoyle isn’t very recognizeable. It looked much better when I drew it on the pumpkin, which you can see on the attached WIP picture.

Regardless, I had to make one….. I can’t let mental and emotional problems keep me from a beloved yearly tradition. So here is a dedicated, but messed up, pumpkin for the dark holiday.

Happy Nightmare Night! May your own pony pumpkins turn out as less of a nightmare (or, as a nightmare done right).
