Description Here's one that I let slip through the cracks.  I originally sketched this out long ago then promptly forgot about it as the holidays and work took over.  Nothing terribly special about it, and certainly not a unique image, but there's some nice bits to it when you look at it up close.

Still, it gives us a chance to talk about Season Four so far...  How is it working for all of you?  Personally, I'm enjoying it quite a bit, although I don't know if there's any episode I've completely fallen in love with yet.  I'm really enjoying the extended subplots with the mysterious box and missing keys, the refurbishing of the old castle, as well as the upcoming Equestrian Games.  I'm also quite impressed by the wider world of this season, as stories routinely take the characters well beyond Ponyville.  In fact, they've done that so much that I'm actually missing the old stomping grounds...  Ponyville itself has been such a rare sight through the first half of the season that I'm going to feel a sense of nostalgia when they finally spend an entire episode there again.

And of course there have been a lot of great new designs and characters, with surely more to come.  I'm just getting around to posting art from the premiere... I have a lot of catching up to do.


After being told to do so numerous times, I have finally set up a tip jar at Ko-Fi :  ko-fi.com/harwicksart
If you're feeling generous and would like to encourage me, feel free to drop me a small amount... it would be most appreciated!

So I've finally gotten caught up on the backlog of un-viewed art I've been sitting on. I've saved your stuff for last. There's a good reason for that too. I thought however that I would go back to the very last thing in the file and leave a comment here. Every piece you make, you bring something special to the table, that classic sense of adventure and determination hold true here. I think especially after the wild ride that was Season 4, this pic is more appropriate than ever. Onward is exactly right, and our loveable group of heroes journey on.

Everything from this point forward that you've made has been awesome, and it helps to keep the spirit alive. Thanks again for sharing your awesome work with us all. Here's to many more to come.

Do you plan on keeping the "anatomy" behind Pinkie's hair at least close to that?  I think it turned out almost perfect here.

This is what is known as badass.

Slightly less badass is Rarity's slightly tubby tummy, which sent my train of thought along the lines that ponies have barrels not chests, end up being much rounder, which reinforced the idea that they're cute as hell, and the train stopped when I came to the conclusion that I wanted to cuddle everything in this picture.

Yeah, from what I've seen so far, it's enjoyable though I didn't expect them to establish Ahuizotl as an "in-universe reality" character.

Spike's trying to get Twilight lined up to fire, but he's suddenly realized that the layout is totally different from his Playstation VI controller.

Season 4? For me, it's halfway marvelous so far. Even though I've been an Indiana Jones fan for literally as long as I can remember, I hated "Daring Don't". It's not that Spike wasn't part of it, it's that all those extra ponies were, at his expense. If at least one of the mane six had been omitted, it wouldn't have singled him out and I would've loved it.

But that's the only episode I openly dislike. I think it's fantastic that the writers are including him much more in episodes like "Bats!". Problem is, he's only been hanging around without contributing much. The most noteworthy thing they've used him for is reminding him he isn't useless. Not exactly Mane Seven Revolution there. I don't want him to be the star of the show (even though he has the potential to be just that), but I don't want to keep seeing him treated like a minor character.

Best episode of the season, though: Pinkie Apple Pie. It is absolutely the best thing ever. Of all time.

These six ponies will go to great lengths to protect each other and to preserve the harmony that strengthens the bonds with one another. Together, they are unstoppable. Ahh... the magic of friendship...
