Hurry back to Dream Castle

[Calico_Star]

Here's some new art for the new site

Sprinkles and Parasol caught in a lightning storm. It looks like Parasol could use some help from the sea ponies to get her across that river!


Why Sprinkes and Parasol? I don't know I just like to draw random ponies, and those two were among those on a shelf near me at the time! I wanted to do something a little more dynamic than my usual art, and felt inspired by the scene from the beginning of Rescue at Midnight Castle with the ponies running from the dragons.

I do not claim to have any talent whatsoever when it comes to backgrounds

I love your art this is adorable, I love how well you have pulled off both poses, and your backgrounds are 100x better than my sad excuses for backgrounds, its really one of my weak points with art

[kiwimlp]

Really nice work - and your background looks great too! 

[kittybethy]

Wow! It looks great!

[Mango]

I've always loved your art - this is amazing! Well done ^^

[SourdoughStomper]

your backgrounds are 100x better than my sad excuses for backgrounds

^ This. Same with me.

Calico -

You have done it again. Pumped out yet another adorable pic. Nothing wrong with your background either

Beautiful!  I love the expressions on their faces and the shading, it really does look like they were caught out in a storm.  As for backgrounds, I usually just pretend they don't exist when I draw!    So I'm impressed with yours 

[Alexia]

I love your G1s!

Thanks guys! Zenna, that's my preferred method too! "What background? This picture doesn't need a background. I don't want it to....uh...distract from the pony."
But I figure since I hate them so much and they're so difficult for me, I should probably practice them every once in a while so I can (hopefully) get better.

Very lovely!   
And I fall into the "ponies floating in empty space" camp... so your background is quite impressive!

I should probably do that from time to time too... but ugh.

Not doing a background should be a choice that you make, not a standard Practising backgrounds is good. Most of the time a background of some sort, even a colour or texture is better than white.

I think this background adds a nice mood to the picture

love this picture! great perspective and movement, and the background is stunning ^^ especially as it totally fits the angle.

Oh Noes!! Poor Parasol could really use a pair of wings for herself right now.

I love how you did their hair, and the cliff side.
