Today’s prompt: Draw a pony experiencing their 15 minutes of fame / Draw a pony in the spotlight.

I did a similar concept like this a previous year, but with this prompt, I figured it was a good opportunity to add further context and story to it.

It’s no secret that Cookie has a huge appetite, so when an eating contest comes around, she’s one of the first to sign up. However, she doesn’t do it because she’s sure she’ll win. She just likes getting to enjoy the culinary delights that ponies provide for the contestants, and if she does happen to win, it’s just a nice bonus.

She’s no braggart in victory, however (except against Beryl), and she knows to give credit where it’s due, whether it’s to the ponies who made a contest like this possible, or the ponies who came out to support and watch her be a glutton in public, like Syntax and Pastel. =)
