Kinda a new addition for my First Contact War universe. It’s more or less generic pony designs, but with the slight hope of getting to use them for FCW.

I started these out from just hairstyle sketches, then I tried to make ponies out of them, in full colour and with a bit of personality to them. Quite fun, but time consuming in a way. Even with the very rough style I kept them in. Although I was multistreaming and having fun… so distraction haha.

The shading style was quite fun to do, trying to keep the shadows on their face a minimum, deliberately. Which I guess is a common practice among some styles (Anime for example). Also just having less heavy contrast.

I could almost start making adoptables like this, hah.

Or I might open up some commissions based on these for a fixed price, similar to what I did here: My October Fundraiser Sketch Commissions

All just idea at this point, though, so no guarantees it’ll happen (although commissions are more likely.)

Approx time: 9 hours
