Rarity and Sweetie Belle were requested, so I wanted to make the cards where they could fit together as a set or stand alone. I sketched out a couple of different ideas

It's kind of cool to see all the older designs and charactors. I had never heard of Tex before, and just the other day an artist I follow (Jen Blake) Posted a sketch cover on her DA of Tex and G1 Applejack that she drew for someone at the MLP Fair!

One of these poses I didn't use for Minty here, but was perfect for something else that you'll see in a couple of weeks.

"Friends Forever" is a really cool concept where each issue is a "team up" of two poines, and they are all stand alone issues, so you don't have a buy all of them if you don't want to. Upcoming team ups include Pinkie Pie & Luna, Applejack & Rarity, Granny Smith & the Flim Flam Brothers, and Fluttershy and Iron Will! These issues are a lot of fun to read.
