ATG3 Day 10 — Draw a pony from legend/draw a pony with a story! #250

Holey moley, this one got out of hand quickly. It was only supposed to be a quick sketch of RD, then I penciled in the log she's sitting on, then a quick doodle of the fire, then what the heck let's add trees in the background and make it full color and try some smoke and … and…and…….

There were three major inspirations for this piece. For the scene, it was the episode "Sleepless in Ponyville", which is one of my all time favorites. RD's line is classic campfire horror, of course, but it's also my favorite "game over" line in any RPG ever, coming from the Tales series. Lastly, RD's sneer is based on Light Yagami's "just as planned" face (If you're not familiar with it, check it out here. Deliciously evil.)

So yeah, this turned out to be HIGHLY experimental. I'll take comments on pretty much any part of it, so please let me know what worked and what didn't.
