Recently there was an art contest about who would become the official artist for the GalaCon 2018. I decided to cast my hat in the ring and while I didn't win (given the really brilliant artists who participated anything else would have been a huge surprise) it was a lot of fun to participate.

Congratulations to DarkSittich for becoming the new ConArtist of the GalaCon. I'm looking forward to see the GalaCon art of an amazing artists whose work I have admired on a German brony forum before :)

The first task for the contest was to create a poster of the GalaCon mascot Canni Soda and optionally of the additional mascots Sani Soda and Wachmann with the theme "Winter Wonderland". What I came up with was more of a picture than a poster scene I'm afraid, but it was a lot of fun to make.
Cani Soda is sculputuring the Ludwigsburg Forum (the location of the GalaCon) out of Ice while Wachmann is shielding her against the risk of icicles falling from the nearby rocky wall with the frozen waterfall. Meanwhile Sani is enjoying some hot chocolate from "Canni's Cocoa Can" (a little joke based on Canni Soda's can cutie mark).
Special thanks go to redhatbrony and BOB-FINNSKI, both of whom gave me very helpful constructive criticism to improve the image before I completed it
