You Remind Me Of Her

Here's just some crossover fan art I did of an elderly Discord happily crying while holding Cinnamoroll. The long-eared puppy really does know how to make him feel better about life without Fluttershy.

This is one of those pictures I drew in a mini-sized sketchbook, specifically a Cinnamoroll-themed one (hence the rounded edges on the left side). I would also like to note that the smiley faces coming off the two characters are meant to be friendship symbols, like the ones in The Sims 2.

In many ways, Cinnamoroll and Fluttershy are two peas in a pod. Both are incredibly shy yet kind-hearted creatures that can fly. As my head-canon for Discord and Fluttershy is that they didn't have any children of their own (the animals at the sanctuary served as their surrogate children instead), Discord pretty much sees Cinnamoroll as the son that he never had.

I've been thinking of doing some short stories featuring Discord and Cinnamoroll interacting with one another. I've already got the ideas and summaries sorted out, now I just need to write out the proper stories! :D

Doll of the Month - Amelia the Strawberry Doll (June)

I've finally managed to release one of these in the middle of the month rather than at the end of it or the beginning of the next month. This time, to celebrate June and the beginning of summer, here's Amelia the Strawberry Doll!

I was SO tempted to call this doll Strawberry but it would have made the name redundant (also, I'm pretty sure that the name is actually illegal in some countries for some bizarre reason). Instead, I named her Amelia after a particular type of June strawberry grown in the UK.

This doll only needed a few colours, not counting the skin colour. The majority of her clothes are red, with green for her sleeves, neckline and boot cuffs, yellow for the dots on the strawberries and pink for her hair. I also made sure that her bunches were shaped like strawberries in order to fit in with the theme more, along with green leaf hair scrunchies. Meanwhile, the boots are pointy in order to resemble fairy boots.

Like with most of my previous drawings, I added a pattern to the background to give the impression of the doll being laid out on a clothes, with strawberries obviously being my main choice this time. The main problem though is that due to there being so many of them, especially given the fact that they're pretty big and the red is particular bold this time round, they risk overshadowing the doll itself. Next time, I'll make sure to put less objects in the background.

Despite that problem though, I really enjoyed working on this doll. Strawberries have always been my favourite fruit, so it's fitting that this is one of my favourite dolls that I've drawn so far.
