Of course I had to draw these 2 today

The Girlboss and her Malewife

[carouselunique]

Designed a proper Flurry Heart after making the April Fools version! Since the Crystal Empire is in the frozen north, I gave her fancy winter wear!

A random shining and cadance ng kid design...

[raine-art-blog]

I wasn't happy with my old Mane 6 family trees for the MLP Raineverse anymore so I redid them all from scratch.

A mishmash of canon, OC's, headcanons, fanon, and canon divergence.

And here's the key:

pink text indicates a female character

blue text indicates male character

asterix* indicates an OC

squiggly line~ indicates a fan name for a canon character

Lil Cheese's name is written in pink and blue gradient because I headcanon him as a trans boy

the line connecting Soda Float to her parents is pink because she's adopted

And you know what since there's SO many OC's inspired by G1-G3 ponies I'm gonna list them all out under the cut:

Star Catcher and Starwishes are based on the G3 ponies of the same name

Evening Wish is based on G1 Twilight

Majesty is based on G1 Majesty

Twilight Twinkle is based on G3 Twilight Twinkle

Lucky is based on G1 Lucky

Fizzy Shake is based on G1 Fizzy

Soda Pop is based on G3 Fizzy Pop

Apple Picnic is based on G3 Applejack

Tex is based on G1 Tex

Gusty is based on G1 Gusty

Whirlwind is based on G1 Wind Whistler

Firefly is based on G1 Firefly

Medley is based on G1 Medley

Prism Flare is based on G3 Rainbow Dash

Camelia is based on G3 Cheerilee (unicorn version)

Chrysanthenum is based on G3 Cheerilee (earth pony version)

Glory is based on G1 Glory

Quarterback is based on G1 Quarterback

Sparkler is based on G1 Sparkler

Heartwheels is based on G3 Rarity

Starsong is based on G3 Starsong

Butterfly Kisses is based on G3 Fluttershy

Tender Tulips is based on G1 Posey

Surprise is based on G1 Surprise

Rose Quartz Pie is based on G3 Pinkie Pie

Lavender Ember is based on G1 Ember

Soda Float is based on G3 Soda Float

My Nextgen Ocs - Shining Armor x Cadance

These are some ocs tumblr hasnt seen yet! Merry Christmas :Þ

Love Of My Life

He/she, nonbinary, young adult, bi, crystal unicorn

While his friends and family often call him 'Love', Love Of My Life prefers her full name above any sort of nickname.

What makes this pony special is her extreme charisma - He's very charming, and almost everypony falls completely head over hooves for her! Unfortunately for them, she "can't be tied down", and has never truly committed to having a special somepony. Instead, he's made a bit of a habit of pairing up ponies she thinks would be good together.

His unicorn magic is very weak, and likely very mixed with pegasus magic, as this unicorn can walk on clouds! ... Of course, all it does is make ponies fall for her even more.

Permafrost

He/him, cis stallion, late teen, ???, crystal unicorn

Crystal ponies are all born with a certain crystal within them - His mother's is rose quartz, Love Of My Life's is garnet, but Frost... Something went wrong, and he ended up with ice instead. He's constantly cold, and no amount of blankets or fire helps.

Despite his constant shivering, he actually has quite a warm personality. He's very patient, having learned to live with his affliction, and is very understanding when foals ask about his horn. He handles winter in the Crystal Empire very well, his internal body temperature already matching the temperature outside, and has found his talent in making ice sculptures using his magic.

Candygram

She/her, filly, child, ???, crystal pegasus

Candygram loves love and everything to do with it! She takes after her mother in this regard, and is affectionately known as 'the littler princess of love'. Her absolute most favorite holiday is Hearts and Hooves Day, which is also her birthday!

She has a knack for bringing people together, so much that it's become the thing she's special for. Friendship, communication, and unity are all very important to this little filly!

Her wings aren't just wings, they're clouds! Real life clouds! If you were to touch them, your hoof would pass right right through!

Happy Hearth’s Warming! 2024

The Royal Family of the Crystal Empire spends a happy moment together.

I don’t think the Crystal Empire would celebrate Hearthswarming, but I feel Cadence and Shining would celebrate it or bring it over with them to the Empire since they both grew up with it in Canterlot. The two would definitely want Scarlet to experience the holiday, so they do the best they can to make it as best they can for him each year.

This year’s been a pretty good one for me artistically. I set myself a goal to upload at least one piece of art each month and succeeded! I’ll finally be able to do one of those art year summary things :D

And this will most likely be my last post for the year(besides the art summary) so see y’all next year!
