Bonus to go with the new chapter!

Who doesn't like bonuses?

Shut up, Aaron!

Here's a little doodle I've been working on for a bit now; an imagining of the Summer Sun Festival from the pictures Etherea showed Alex back in chapter 7, part 1.

I'd like to think of it as a thank you to all you nice people for putting up with me, but really, I just wanted to draw, and you all get more stuff 'cause of it!

And why not? Everyone loves adorkable! Ponies are more fun that way.

This is actually my second attempt at this drawing. The first was scooted a bit further left on the page and left me with almost no room for Etherea. And then there's this one. Etherea must have been completely redrawn like 20 times. Her pose wasn't quite right, her wings just wouldn't come out right, her legs were mis-positioned for their dimensions, her face just wouldn't come out the way I wanted it...

I think the only thing that went smoothly about Etherea was her mane and tail.

Persistence! That's the key.

I'm going to let my drawing hand rest for a bit though.

Ponies have weird proportions and the way they'll shift between four-legged snake and "25% cranium by body mass" will never cease to wig me out.
