Finally finished this one!  These are human versions of the cast of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic in 50′s style, complete with malt shop and cutie mark poodle skirts.  This took me around 18 hours over two evenings, though that doesn’t include the time I spent researching 1950s costume.  It gave me a good excuse to watch Pleasantville. :D

I did some pencil sketches of this to test out the composition and such, but the final image was all digitally drawn in Photoshop.

After several weeks of posting ponies on DeviantArt, here’s the big group picture I put together of all my Channel Awesome ponies!

Doug Walker is a guest at Matsuricon this weekend, so I printed this out and I’m going to give it to him!

Anyways. When Jen was in Germany, apparently we wrote her letters and told her how much we missed her, and sent them off to Germany.  Jen recently found some of the letters I wrote to herself and Melanie at this time, which she then passed on to my other older sister, Kelly, who showed these to me at Acen. BEHOLD!

[Transcript: Dear Jennie: I love you. But I don't miss you. And I'm even sleeping in your bed. When it's hot. Dartmouth Dr got replaced. It's very smooth.  PS: Maybe I'll miss you next week. Love, Alex.]

And on the back are some lovely seaponies:

Apparently I didn’t miss Jen much, since I could sleep in her room. Which makes sense, as she did have an air conditioner in her room, and I didn’t.  And it seems our street had recently been resurfaced. Exciting!

Meanwhile, I also wrote a letter to Melanie:

[Transcript: Dear Mellileny[sic] I drew you a picture of Babs. I miss you. I’ll see you soon. Love, Alex H.]

Hmm.  Maybe Jen should’ve played Ponies with me more often, then I’d have missed her more. Anyways, have a 20-year-old drawing of Babs Bunny.

Marzgurl’s new look is the inspiration behind this pony.

The Makeover Fairy is even more cute in flutterpony form, somehow.

Nella can FLY!

The Cinema Snob is perturbed to be a pony.

Juno the Sorceress is going “BOOOOoooooo, BOOOOOOOOOOO!”

Linkara is just glad he isn’t a unicorn, since it would tip his hat askew.

The Nostalgia Critic is angry that he has no opposable thumbs with which to operate his gun.

Benzaie is going to woo you with his Frenchman wiles. Also he is a unicorn.

Chester A. Bum has been rolling in his own waste again, but at least he’s happy about it.

This is just the first wave of My Little Critic: Friendship is Awesome! ponies, representing just some of the folks over at That Guy With The Glasses.  I drew twelve of these today.

I drew a Nostalgia Critic pony for an attendee at Acen last weekend, and Chris said I should do a bunch of TGWTG ponies.  Well, I was going to draw comics this week, but THIS IS MUCH MORE IMPORTANT.
