Well, my story is half way published.

It has passed 150k words benchmark.

Most importantly, 250 readers It is good to know there are people I can make something interesting for.

What should I do to celebrate?

I'm not entirely happy with how they turned out. In particular, I wish I had come up with some way to make Whisper more distinct. Then again, his background works better with an unremarkable face.

I've been trying to work out stallion faces from the front, and they continue to be a challenge, much more horse-like than mare faces (and of course, a real horse doesn't have front-facing eyes.)

Also, I hate drawing bowler hats.

I didn't make any milestone celebration post at reaching 100K words, but I think this one is more important.

Thank you, everypony.

You are the reason I'm doing this.

So here for a change some past characters: Obsidian and Verba's old companions. I enjoyed the freedom of designing their armor, as here I didn't have to stick to the canon armors from the show, which I'm not a big fan of.

More and more OCs appear in the story:

Captain North Star

Captain Glitterdust

Bling (agent Prism?)

Also, a long overdue picture of Enigma

and a small teaser of things to come

I made a picture of Verba.
It wasn't until I put all the details on paper that I realised how weird he used to look.
Between the element of Magic forming the helmet of his armor, the single color eyes resulting from attunement, and the rune-inscribed hide meant to protect him during the final series of magical experiments, he looked more like an art installation than a pony.

Not that he's got less strange since then.

Dr Agate Stone

Dr Bluebonnet

I hope I've managed to make them distinct enough, even in black and white pictures.

And finally, Tourmaline

As promised, I managed to draw a couple more characters:

Agent Pierce

and Lightbringer.

So, I tried to draw Obsidian today.

Does it count as fanart if it's my own story?
Hopefully I manage more characters later.

Why didn't I discover this series earlier?

It's awesome.
