Description For ATG Alumni, Week 2:A pony representing a country.

If you don't know what Freedonia is, watch Duck Soup. I had forgotten that Harpo Marx's curly-haired, zany, random character is actually named Pinky, coincidentally enough!

Since it's an old movie, I tried for an old illustration look with plenty of hatching, trying to get the hang of a crowquill dip pen I just got. Will take practice.

And this was such a comedy of errors. First drawing I spilled water all over after inking. Second drawing I realized I inked a hidden line. Fixed after scanning.

Outlines: Tachikawa and Platinum Preppy fountain pens
Eyes: Pentel brush pen
Hatching: Crowquill 102
Lettering: Stabilo 68 marker

>Harpo marx is called Pinky
OH GOD. I FORGOT IT TOO.
Everything makes so much sense now.
Great drawing! So far I've seen two Marx Brothers ponified pictures.

Pinkie Pie once shot a manticore in her pajamas. How that manticore got in her pajamas, she'll never know.

Ahhh, you can't fool me. There's no way Pinkie Pie could refrain from speaking for the entire length of a movie.
