Title: [Pony Art] Dream Guardian

When I was little, I would sometimes take my SS Ribbon to bed with me. She was probably my favorite pony back then, and she still is one of my favorites. As I got older, she graduated to sitting on the bedside table. Her main purpose was to keep nightmares away. Even nowadays, if I've had some sort of scare, I'll put her on my bedside table again. :lovey:

My childhood Morning Glory has quite the haircut. I drew her all cute. ^^

Morning Glory is absolutely beautiful, I love how she has the proportions of a foal but the elegance and confidence in her movement reveal she's a grown-up. The wings are so delicate I almost missed them at first! You convey their transparent look perfectly.

Thank you! I didn't mean for them to be so invisible, I think I'll try and make them a liiiittle darker the next time I draw a flutter!

After drawing Morning Glory's symbol, I realize what little works of art G1 symbols were! I love the curly little vines on the flowers.
