Description Today's challenge was "Draw a pony lost at sea/Draw a pony drifting."
So, here's pirate Dash, lost at sea, drifting on what appears to be a blown-off part of a ship.

I'm not sure if it looks more like she's concerned or whether she's restless and bemused from boredom, but the latter was my intent.

Tried doing the lines with less heavy stabilisers this time. Not to self, next time I try this - thicker lines!

(What's that you say? Where's her red pirate vest? No? Good.)

Edit: Yes, she has wings. But let's just say she's over a thousand miles from the nearest land. Too far for her to fly, but getting closer to that land. Let's say she knows approximately where she is, has a compass and is estimating how long it will be before she WILL be able to fly there - but it's a long time and she's bloody bored waiting.

Poor PD, but she'll bounce back from it XP Thank you so much for the beautiful fanart!  I love your style, it came out very well.


Is it okay if I post a link to the deviation on the PD blog?

Oh I get it. Rainbow Dash's relationship with Applejack didn't pan out as she wanted.

AppleJack rejected her, even after RD gave her the best night ever.

Their "ship" sank. Get it? RelationSHIP. Shipping?!


This explains RD's inability to simply fly out of her plight.

No pair of wings can heal her heart.

Ummm... okay. Clever. You can go with that if you want. Not that I suggested Appledash in this at all. >.>

SURE you didn't.

You sly devil.

Your subliminal story telling is outstanding.


How else would it explain Rainbow Dash's situation?

Her SHIP sank, herr harrr haah.

Look man, she's a pirate. She was after some booty and was shot down in the process. What was pushing her forward failed to support and now she's drifting away in what remains, hoping she can get back on her hooves - but it seems to distant to fly there.

See? No Appledash intended. Geez... some of you people.

Its a sea of despair and sorrow.


Don't worry man, no need to cover for yourself, you don't need to explain anything to me. I know what your getting at. You should be more confident in your story telling though, if they don't like it its their problem, not yours.

Can't she just use her wings?

Well, if there was land nearby, but I'm choosing that there isn't - for thousands of kilometres. As far as she knows at least. ^^

Or Twilight. "Oh this will make for *excellent* research for survival at sea!" XD

Why do you want to use thicker lines next time? This looks good and thin lines usually look great =s Personally I try to go down and make thinner lines than I do atm.

TheImmolatedPoet In reply to Alexander93 [2013-08-31 01:04:13 +0000 UTC]

Not that I want the actual lines to be quicker, I'd make the picture larger to accommodate them. It's just that I wound up having tons of my lines flick off sharply while doing them, something that's easier to do when they're larger lines.
Oh and good luck on making your lines thinner! I suggest the same thing, increase the actual picture's size, so in comparison, the lines are thinner. Plus, you have a bigger pic!

Thousands of kilometres of vast, open sea. Cartoon logic need not interfere.
