I don't know if there is any conspiracy to draw Lyra for Saint Patricks day. It's probably because she's green. I just did a quick search for Lyra + Saint Patrick's day on this site and with google images and they both only brought up a handful of images. I did find out there was a comic cover with Lyra and Spike though. But I don't think that it's that big of a meme.I personal just did it because she's green and she plays a lyra, which is like a harp. And in my mind, harps and bards are very Irish. I was mimicking the high medieval image here, www.docs.is.ed.ac.uk/docs/lib-… It has a harp playing bard with a fur cloak. It was also snowing here at the time so I wanted a warmer image. Also bards in medieval Gaelic society could move around a lot and some famous ones worked for multiple kings and chieftains. So I imagined more of an eccentric, magical character, compared to those more settled homebodies. And in the fandom, Lyra is often thought of as more eccentric with Bon Bon being the straight mare.I don't think that there is any Irish pony so no pony really fits the theme so to speak. Lyra (and Bon Bon) are just as good as a ponies as any.Just a question, but what pony do you think would work at Saint Patrick's day? And why don't you think Lyra is well suited?
