Perhaps it was the bag of cherries on the counter, perhaps the cherry ice cream in the freezer, but I came to realize that what we were asked to draw, the impossible 'living of the best life' or a sterile cityscape coated in scarlet paint, that the answer is "that it's all in your head". Or in the Magical Land of Equestria, it's in a changeling pod, as per Kris Overstreet's Changeling Space Program where the bright green chrysalises act like full immersion VR simulators. Those pastel love bug metamorph critters have to have a food source and some ponies got to have sunshine in a bag. But not for long, the future is coming on.

The ponies living it up are Svengallop, Angelwings, John Candy, Twist, Wind Rider and some other pony. The 7th pod might as well be empty.

As for drawing a town and dozens of buckets of red paint, nope. Not doing that. John Candy in pod 3 can take care of that.

Yesterday was a complete write-off, a migraine had me in its clutches from morning until well into the night. It's amazing to me that after spending all that time napping or attempting to nap, my eyes resisted opening this morning. So I'm _still_ playing catch-up in the art challenge. This is for 'trying something new; getting a cutie mark'. So this is a 2 fer 1. Neighberry getting her cutie mark. Accidentally swallowing green bottle flies is now her special talent.

This combines "learning a new skill" with the alt-NATG "beach" prompt. Blucifer is a gigantic statue outside of Denver airport in Colorado. Blucifer is anatomically correct where it counts, so naturally a My Little Blucifer is hilarious. I was going to have Princess Celestia (with Princess Luna) as the pony admiring the view, but I couldn't get her drawn right. I decided to give Blucifer dreads, but perhaps spikes held up with gel would have been more apropos.

Well, since I was ahead of the game in this art challenge thing, I was mulling over translating "hobby" as a pony eating grass in an emulation of a Joe Camel advert. But 'pony drawing a human' as a hobby was suggested to me and I got to thinking. So here we are, a pony getting humans wrong as a comment on people drawing ponies as bipedal amputee cats. Ha!

Oh crap, I must have just missed the extended deadline. The Prompt 7 submitter is closed. I'll just store the "original size" URL here in case there's a "do any of the past prompts" prompt. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54594686216_6509c3415e_o.jpg
