Oooo! The Pony of Doom! She looks eerily like Pinkie Pie, but you can tell that she seems to bring darkness and doom.

For those who don't know this OC was created by Aurelio Voltaire Hernández, the dark cabaret/deathrock/dark wave musician who sang for Cartoon Network's Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy (particularly "Brains" and "Land of the Dead"), as well as singing many Gothic songs, like "Oh My Goth," "Raised by Bats," "When You're Evil," and "Riding a Black Unicorn." Sometime after My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic premiered, and products, both from Hasbro and from the Brony fandom, were being made, in 2013, Voltaire took a Pinkie Pie plushie, dyed it black, the eyes and outlines in her mane, tail, nostrils, and mouth red, the eyelashes grey, and sewn the V in his name on one side of her flank and a skull on the other side to be her cutie marks, and "fabricated" the Pony of Doom!

Even though I never bought it, the plushie is so awesome, not to mention spooky! I wanted to make a vector of her. So I decided to take the plunge into the river Styx, and began my dive into the artistic abyss in vectorizing the POD! I took a simple vector of Pinkie Pie I traced a long ago, recolored it, and making the cutie mark by tracing the skull from Voltaire's logo. When coloring her, I didn't want her to be black completely. Instead her hide is slightly lighter than her mane and tail. Originally, all her outlines were going to be red. But I decided to give only her mane, tail, nostril and closed mouth red; the nostrils and mouth being red not only helps them stand out but gives a sort of ominous glow to them. I could've done the V cutie mark as well, but I decided to just stick to the skull instead since it was easier. But perhaps when I make more vectors of her, the V will be seen... I planned on uploading this for other projects. But while she will make a surprise appearance before the end of the month, it might only be once.

If you're interested, Voltaire does more than singing. He has a YouTube account, where he posts his songs and has a series called Gothic Homemaking, where he shows you how to turn your home into a Gothic lair. It's a really great show, and I got some spooktacular ideas: The Lair of Voltaire - YouTube

He also has a Society 6 account, where you can buy some of his cool products, like creepy cool throw pillows, curtains, wallpaper, and many more: Aurelio Voltaire's Store | Society6

And of course, there is his official website. He used to sell the Pony of Doom there, but it seems to be sold out: Aurelio Voltaire, Official U.S. Webstore (industryeight.com)
