I mean, obviously I needed to draw the cute new ponies from the Rainbow Roadtrip special, just like every other artist in the fandom. I made a postcard of them to sell at Bronycon and it went over pretty well.

For me, the new characters were the highpoint of the special, which I did enjoy. It had a softer, slower paced story that really allowed for the characters it introduced to make an impression, and giving them all a touch of that Minnesota accent helped give the town some identity. Personally, I'm torn between Kerfuffle and Torque Wrench as my favorite additions, but Petunia is very close behind.



The show has always been good at creating colorful (literally) characters that inspire the fandom, and there are certainly no shortage of them to draw (I still have a number on my to-do list), but that is the one thing I think I'll miss most when the show finishes up... that fresh influx of new, official characters just waiting for fanart. We'll have to see how the creative side adjusts and what they end up producing.
