Tablescraps Dump (Patreon)

So apparently, my drawing tablet is busted. I think my roadtrip was too hard on it. :( This has me feeling pretty JAHBJHDBAHBS, since I'm all too aware I haven't posted much this month. I'm very sorry! This was absolutely not my intention. I express ordered a new tablet and it shoooould be here within a few days! In the meantime, may I offer you some WIPs in these trying times? Hahaaaa seriously guys I'm so sorry. :( Pony art coming up soon, promise!

1.) a while ago i was pondering how ponies would show that they're in a relationship/married (since horses wearing rings still feels kinda awkward to me). I planned to do a headcanon dump on various ways ponies across Equestria say "I'm taken!" (remember that doodle of Mr and Mrs Cake having matching ear tattoos? That doodle would've been a part of this). If one isn't inclined to get a permanent tattoo devoted to one's boo, one can always have a custom design shaved (or dyed) into their coat. It's cheaper than a tatt, and the fur will eventually grow back. Bruce has gotten a set of pegasus wings and a windstorm motif inspired by his blue beau, Aerostorm. It was Magnolia's idea and although Bruce is pretty unsure about it, he'll later be singing his bestie's praises. Hippie horse likey. A lot.

2.) This was in response to the question "What do you think Fancy Pant's cutie mark means?". You know, I always thought his mark was like three moneybags, I had a whole spiel ready about how messed up it is that apparently individuals are pre-destined to be wealthy in MLP. But his mark is actually three crowns. Huh. What does that mean?

So I thought Fancy Pants could be the creator of the illustrious Triple Crown, a prestigious annual series of horse races that determines the fastest horse in the world. So basically the Triple Crown races from our world, except the ponies talk. Fancy inherited a small derby from his grandfather and expanded it into a worldwide event, bringing him immense wealth and fame. This is how he met Fleur de Lis, the fastest runner in the south of Prance. He recruited her to run for him and their fast friendship evolved into a whirlwind romance. They're young, smug, and in love. I also like to think young Fancy was kiiiiind of a fuckboi. :>

3.) Old man Fancy Pants is so kindly and indulgent by nature that he even ends up dragging unrelated kids into his dadly orbit. He's shown here taking young Vogue and Zee on a camping trip to earn a much-coveted fillyscout badge. He's a very doting father to Vogue and pretty much a surrogate dad to Zee as well, they're both pretty happy cuz no way would their lame moms ever let them have s'mores before dinner. Yay, Fancy!

and if lil Zee and Vogue once made him homemade father's day cards in kindergarten and Fancy got the ugly sniffles and IMMEDIATELY framed them and displays them to this day on his office desk, well, that's nopony's business but these three's~

4.) Another unfinished request. I know I first drew adult Ellie as a hoodie-wearing tomboy, but I kinda like the idea of her being a big eccentric girly girl with a love of wigs. Ash is a goth art student, Ellie is a quirky cryptozoology student, together they are best friends (and girlfriends)!
