Harmonycon 2026 - Charity Trading Cards

At this year's Harmonycon, AlkaneWreath attended with binder full of blank trading cards and a mission: get all 180+ popular MLP:FIM characters listed in the folder drawn by different artists, and donate the result to the charity auction. They also provided a massive set of alcohol markers to borrow!

Unfortunately, 2 days wasn't nearly enough time to draw ALL the ponies, but the total count was at least 80 and it opened the charity auction with an impressive (but far too low) $350 donation.

Here's the 4 cards I did!

Harmonycon 2026 - OVER 100 Ponies Per Hour

My signature panel, 100 Ponies Per Hour, returned for HC 2026, featuring AlkaneWreath (black sharpie), @arcanethunder (blue sharpie), and @ponyforhire (MC) ((I am the purple))! We had a lot of hurdles this time around, like Discord almost killing my computer (leaving me sleep deprived) and my ever-busted Audio Out port ruining the music plans. Despite the 11:30 PM Friday slot, we still had almost 20 participants, and tons of incredible art to show off!

The finished canvas also went into the charity auction, and raised $300, a new best for the panel!

Harmonycon 2026 - UNDERGROUND Sketchbook Swap

Somehow the usual Sketchbook Swap event was absent from the HC 2026 schedule, so we decided to embrace the rebel cyberpunk theme of the con and hold our OWN. AlkaneWreath already had experience running this kind of event, so they got some fliers printed and we set up on Saturday evening, just outside the concert. We had at least a dozen artists participate and everyone had a great time!

Here's all the left-facing ponies I left in other sketchbooks, including a rare Screwlight portrait and a very concerned Fluttershy.
