The Twelth Night

An image I did around Christmas for the MLP Arena Twelve Days of Christmas contest -which I lost. Still, it was fun to work on.

It features G1 Paradise and G3 Snowelle, the pegasus.  The idea I had while sketching and coloring this was that Snowelle was an orphaned foal find by the other ponies and was adopted by Paradise.  Most other ponies were against the idea at first.  Paradise tends to take her responsibilities too lightly, enjoys fairy tales and adventures too much and isn't exactly responsible enough for caring for an orphaned foal.  Well, as it turns out she and Snowelle did quite well.  Snowelle was old enough to eat solid foods and was quite independent and loved adventures and stories as much as Paradise.  She also had a strange affinity with swans, much more so than most pegasi.  

Sooo... yeah. There it is.  The first and ONLY colored image I've done in months.  The rest of the time I'm just sketching because it's all the mental energy I have.  

Still I loved working on this.  The only things I hate are the grass and the background.... and the way it looks when it's scanned in.  Totally ruins the image.  T.T

Ah well....
