Needs Moar G4

Well, Oak wanted me to make Dazzle Cake — the Playful Pony version of Mrs Cake — into a separate pony, but I just couldn’t do it. However, I did do this.

The mare on the left is Party Cake. Headcanoning up ahead: Party Cake is Mrs Cake’s mom. ‘Dazzle’ Cake is from when Mrs Cake was a rebellious late-teen-to-early-adult in the poorly-defined 80s chic era of Friendship is Magic. She wanted a more outrageous name and a less formal hairdo (not that her mane would oblige her on that).

‘Dazzle’ Cake wasn’t really into cakes at this point and was more into popular stuff — dancing, music, fashion. Baking cakes wasn’t popular; it was a mom thing. So she was trying to be successful in popular things instead, but to no avail. She didn’t understand her talent.

Party Cake, however, knew her daughter would have picked up some cooking knowledge through plain intellectual osmosis. So, one day, she cancelled ‘Dazzle’s’ plans with her friends and kept her in so she could help her bake a batch of cakes.

While trying to keep ‘Dazzle’ interested — which she was not in any way — Party Cake started ignoring the cakes and spent her time simply trying to reign ‘Dazzle’ in. The cakes started to become wrecked. That was when ‘Dazzle’ took notice and suddenly burst into action, immediately correcting her mother’s (deliberate) mistake at blistering speed, salvaging the cakes and not only making them look good, but making them taste good too.

A trio of cupcakes appeared on ‘Dazzle’s’ side, much to her surprise.

Even Party Cake didn’t expect that!

Rainbow hair returns — this is Moonstone, a G1 pony from 1983. As you can probably tell I don’t have much of a story today; my mind’s currently on other things. I thought I should inform you, however, that her backcard explains she went looking for rainbows at night and ended up finding one when her hair was reflected in a waterfall… and she thought it was a real rainbow.

I don’t like that story. I think it’s silly and it’s also kind of depressing considering her friend decides to keep her oblivious. However it does say that, apparently, rainbow hair magic means colours shoot out of your hair when you’re happy. Explicitly described as ‘like fireworks’. That’s kinda cool.

I wonder how bright your tail fireworks are, Moonstone. Can you light up the surface of the moon?

Golden Light, Golden Light…

We call upon you, Golden Light…

You know what we request of you…

Don your mask once more, Golden Light…

Silver Lining was named for her adorable smile. Her parents didn’t have the best financial luck, but her sheer happiness and determination got them through some tough times. Nowadays, she lives away from them on her own, and makes a living repurposing old or broken objects on request.

My goodness, Pillow Talk! Your talent might be throwing the best sleepovers ever, but you might want to be careful. You have pretty vibrant dreams and it causes you to mumble and mutter in your sleep. And this week, it got a little too much for your guests…

Ah, Daisy, Daisy, Daisy Sweet. Definitely one pretty little pony. Daisy and a bunch of her friends have their own perfume company.

Perfume Puff ponies have hair with a texture that, when photographed, apparently looks like a giant soap sud. (There’s even one actually called Sweet Suds.) I have managed neither that softness, nor the intended hair texture. Oh well. XD

Also, they were scented toys! Really scented toys. Hence ‘perfume puff’. I dunno what exactly each one smells like though.

…By the way when did this stop being me drawing ponies in G4 style? I’ll have to fix that at some point.

Night Star, Night Star…

Come to us, Night Star…

We are in trouble… and only you can save us, Night Star…

We shall transform you… We shall gift you powers beyond the imagination…

All you have to do is join us, Night Star…

Join us in the halls of the stars…

Say Trickles, how much longer are you gonna water your lawn?

Trickles: Well, the water bill’s paid up until the end of the month, so I figure I can keep watering at least until then. Unless of course, the end of the world comes or something.

…O…okay…

I really enjoy drawing ponies like this, so I might keep doing so.

This is Sunrise Song. Sunrise Song has a particular skill: the ability to mimic birdcalls. Though, note, she’s more of a musician than an ornithologist. She loves the particular noises that birds make.

I went and drenched her hair in more colours since it wasn’t really shouting ‘sunrise’ to me to begin with. let’s just say that this is how light and volume affects the perceived colour of her hair or something. It’s pretty easy.

I’m failing to draw on-model today. Yellowstar was a fluke.

Have Baby Whirly-Twirl, who is defying logic because he is a cartoon horse.

Bubbles loves to splash around in puddles. All sorts of puddles. And then she loves getting all scrubbed up afterwards.

I guess that means that she just loves getting soaked. But she’s going to end up stuck in a cycle of puddles and baths and puddles and baths and puddles and baths and that’s not going to get anything done. Surely there’s something else she likes doing…

Ah, well. I guess at the least she’s probably an expert in the (splashing) quality of water…

Oh look. It’s the other Bright Eyes.

Gee, I wonder if something I said earlier has something to do with this.
