screwball the wizard samurai

week 14 of . theme was to draw a pony ninja/pirate.

so, obviously, I went with both in one picture. or neither. or both and neither at the same time.

WHOA, I actually finished a weekly piece ON THE VERY FIRST DAY of the theme for once! Let's make this a recurring event (or at least starting it on the first day, and spending more than one day to make future ones really good!)

i absolutely, positively, LOVE the new pony Screwball. I know she most likely will only ever exist in the show as that one quick gag but she's still great. If Pinkie is like a general classic cartoon character and Derpy's just adorably ditzy, Screwball I imagine would be more REALLY tripped out off the deep end, like the Dodo from Looney Tunes (or Gogo from Tiny Toons, for that matter). Perfection.

So was in the process of drawing her with these random accessories and realized that the two I'd chosen -- a chef's hat and plunger -- happened to be two of the Pyro's awesome hats in Team Fortress 2. So to add a little bit of umph and make her look a bit more accessorized I threw in a good ol' Triboniophorus Tyrannus ([link]).
