The Three Ponies

Description

attempt for the travelling pony museum's newbie artist thing or whatever. i know it's not much but when I came up with this idea I couldn't let it go, and really since I still am not very good at backgrounds and beautiful landscapes and objects and things like that, and this is less a learning experience type of thing and more a "show us the best you can do up to this point" kind of thing, I figured I'd play to my strengths. three of my favorite ponies -- that I've drawn the most -- in simple, cute poses, plus a dash of humor and a reference to a great maxim.

Alas, even if it doesn't get in, I really liked drawing this and am pleased that I thought of it. There's not much rhyme or reason to which pony got which role except that I wanted to show both Derpy and Screwball's eyes since they're both unique. And I couldn't help but think of "stick a cupcake in my eye" for Pinkie, so...

Of course, based on the old visual maxim of the Three Monkeys ( [link] ). And I know these are the 3 ponies in the show most likely to SOW chaos, sure, but not only does that make this ironically make sense, they're also three of the silliest ponies -- you might say, monkey-like. Even if one of them only existed for about two seconds.

"Sometimes there is a fourth pony depicted with the three others; the last one, Screwloose, symbolizes the principle of "do no chaos". She may be shown crossing her arms."
