Another new print that will be making its debut at Nightmare Nights, this time featuring Zecora. <3



I really wanted to have a Zecora print done in time since her voice actress, Brenda Crichlow, is a guest of honor- I had met her at Equestria LA, and shortly before I was feeling a little down and having some doubts as an artist, having been suddenly surrounded by a vendor hall full of amazing talent. I had happened to mention to her agent while waiting in her autograph line that I was one of EQLA's artists, which she then told Brenda, who was just full of praise and support and I swear I nearly started crying because I was just so touched. x'D I honestly can't properly express how much that meant to me. I didn't have any Zecora artwork to give her, and I wasn't able to give her the colored pencil drawing of Zecora I made for her at BronyCon, so this time I'm making sure she gets some artwork, dang it!



I wanted to do something cool to emphasize Zecora's zebra stripes, so I took a shot at a pretty minimalist design. I ended up adding texture to the background though, since it helped her stand out a little bit more. I was trying to figure out how to incorporate her cutie mark somewhere (since it has such a lovely tribal aesthetic to it) but it felt like it was too much when placed over the piece, so I placed it in her eye instead to add a bit of detail without distracting from the rest of the piece. <3
