Magic Horse with Beard and Hat By harwicks-art Watch

Honestly, I don’t know why all ponies don’t wear capes and hats... it was a great look back when Trixie introduced it in season 1, and Twilight and Starswirl proved it never went out of style. (Sunburst shows the cape alone can work when necessary, and Rarity of course can make even drinking straw hats work in a pinch.)



Starswirl was a long long time coming on the show, and when he did arrive it turned out that he was something of a jerk... Fitting, since Celestia noted he didn’t grasp Friendship quite the way Twilight had. I’m curious to see if Starswirl has a big role to play in the finale season of the show. It was something of an odd choice to not just bring him back, but bring him back with an entire sprawling supporting cast that makes them all somewhat unwieldy to use. While there are definitely fun characters among the other pillars, it can’t be easy to find roles for everyone at this point.



This is another piece that I made specifically for last year’s Everfree Northwest... while I unfortunately didn’t make it up to the autograph sessions to meet him, I was told that Starswirl’s voice actor Chris Britton liked it... I hope so, at least!
