:holiday: Merry Christmas! We are getting close, so we've selected some solid holiday-themed ponies for this week and next week. :xmas: Up first- G1 Merry Treats or G1 Felicidades from Argentina, and their G3 friend, Candy Cane! (Shout out to sourdoughstomper for bringing these gals to my attention here: http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,375207.0.html )
:xtree: I was going to save Merry Treats for next week, but she's BASICALLY the same pony as Felicidades, lol. So paint one or the other, or both! Hope your palettes have plenty of red and green this week!
[okay, photobucket is really fighting me, so until further notice please see links for pony images]

I'm not a Christmas person but I really do love Merry Treats
-
Thanks both. I think I stressed myself out so much thinking I couldn't do it that I quit and never touched it again. lol
I really love Merry Treat and forgot I have these pixels I made. I'll do another piece too for the draw together thread, hopefully.

My first Draw Together! I hope to do more because I need to get better at drawing ponies from scratch. Too bad there isn't a g4 pony option, because I can only draw in the g4 style. So I just drew Candy Cane in g4 style.

WHEEEEE! I LOVE CHRISTMAS! :holiday:
ponycake - I think your background is delightful. I hate drawing them as well. XD I love the way you did the strands of lights on the tree! And your pixels are adorable.
UrocyonFox - I really like that you took the pony's actual pose and gave it life in your drawing. She looks so sweet. :)
Moonbreeze - I love the G2 babies. She looks so happy to be out in the snow! And the breath clouds are a nice touch.
Roogna - I like the wreath with candles on Felicidades' head. I hope that it's enough light for them to find their way! ;)
Dainty - Merry Treats makes a great baby! That garland around her is super cute too.
Uninu - I love her curls! That's a pose that I really struggle to make look lifelike and you really captured the proportions and movement perfectly. :)
babyblueducky - How cute! I love her big bright eyes and the bold colors.
sweetpop - Adding the colored hooves was a nice touch. It gives her a kick of personality! :)
LyraHeartsrtings - She looks cute in the G4 style! There's nothing wrong with a bit of generation swapping. ;) I typically just draw ponies in my own style, which is sort of a mixture of every generation by now. The more you draw, the more comfortable you will be with trying new ponies and new styles.

Oh wow, so many great artpieces so far :heart:
I am still struggling to make time for some drawing, hopefully I will be able to get it done tomorrow :frolic:

amazing work everyone (and merry christmas!)♥

Sorry to give feedback all at once... I prefer to comment as the pics come in, but it's been a busy week!
UrocyonFox- Very nice work again. Good balance in the highlights- larger white areas in the hair accented with fin streaks. And the hair itself is well blended from dark to lighter red, dark to lighter green. Yep. I love the hair.
ponycake- cute pixel art! :biggrin: That should be a gif smiley for the Arena!
Moonbreeze- Nice to see the whole pony again, and a bonus baby pony! (I almost assigned her for this week, but saved her for next). They look perfect with that simple background of sky and snow!
Roogna- Cuuute. I want to know more about what's going on. Plotting their course? To the North Pole? Oh, I see the bag! They are delivering presents! Love that little mouse with the candy cane!
Dainty- Just love your work. You should make prints of this one for Christmas cards! I love her little mouth hanging the garland- everything about this picture is just darling!
Uninu- She's so happy! You do such a great job on proportions- it looks like a pony with real musculature and skeleton.
babyblueducky- yay G3 Candy Cane! I really like the colors on her- simple white and red. The hair is done just right with the alternating colors, and I love the way the mane is swept to the opposite side of her pose.
sweetpop- that's a fun style you have- like digital coloring crayons? I like the rough texture and different hoof colors!
LyraHeartstrings- Welcome to the draw together, thanks for joining! Don't worry about style- you can draw G4 anytime you want! I've been rotating through a Gens 2-4 companion each week for the main G1 assignment. Last week we did Rarity and there's another G4 on the way... anyhow about your piece- LOVE the braided hair! Tied with a little holly, cute! and the candy cane! Now I want to eat one.
RandomPony- Oh I like that picture on brown paper. The embellishments are perfect for framing the happy trotting pony!
Hannah66665- Such a sweetheart! And a sitting pose, too! Those can be so hard to execute. And you gave the hat some nice shading. And the eyes! Okay, great job!
Niwalime- I really like your style. The ponies are simple and charming. I like the eyes- I think they are just the right size!
:holiday: Thanks everyone for participating this week! Really helps with the holiday spirit to see so many Christmassy ponies! :grouphug: :holiday:

RandomPony - I love the pine branches and the white highlights on her mane. :)
ponyqueen - She's so pretty! I really love the details in the garland around her neck.
Hannah66665 - Merry Christmas to you too! I like the pink shading you used on your pony. It gives her such a cute rosy glow. :)
Niwalime - I really like that your ponies stay true to the G1 toy style. They're super cute! :heart:
