May the muffins be forever in your favour.Newbie Artist Training Grounds XIII - Day 4: Fluttershy and Spike on Secret Mission · 9:47pm Jun 12th, 2023

Fluttershy and Spike break into the Canterlot Bank to steal all the gold from the safe in the heart of the building, hidden deep between its thick concrete walls.....
I have drawn this until the middle of the morning, after falling asleep in my chair and only getting in a few nap hours. Missed the deadline, but I stuck through it.
A very simple picture that was supposed to be easy to draw, but I made a lot of mistakes and drawing Spike's right claw drove me nuts, it always came out too big no matter what I tried, so I gave up eventually. And it took much longer than it should have to draw this picture, too. I attribute this to the late time and the lack of sleep, though. Drawing just their faces, hooves and claws, while the rest of their bodies is covered by a vent, is way too easy to have that many errors in the picture and to take that long to draw it. I might redraw this one day, with enough sleep and at a better time.
Oh and I didn't draw the lid of the vent. I started drawing it, but It had too many details to draw in my sleep-deprived state and I was just too tired, so I decided to omit it. And only now, while uploading, I see that I forgot to color the scale on Spike's head and that I colored his purple skin over it..... Yeah, definitely will redraw this picture at some point. Heists are serious business.
The prompt for Day 4 is: Draw a pony with a secret mission / Draw a pony being sly as a fox.
Stay easy as a filly!

Eh, I've drawn better. Sleep deprivation does that with the quality. You can go back to 2021 and see what I've drawn there. The tag "Newbie Artist Training Grounds XI" has all my pony drawings from that year grouped together.
