Skyrim Ponies

The tile is pretty self explanatory. I decided to ponify some of Dan and my player characters from Skyrim and Serana, because reasons.

I should probably put some of this effort into doing more wintery art, but the truth is, it's all been done before. This hasn't, so I find it more interesting.

From left to right:
Sofi Ralkisdotter as an Earth Pony, Arianna as an Earth Pony, Cealia Erenburn as a Unicorn, Tievera as a Unicorn, Serana as a Bat Pony, Hjali Blackwater as a Unicorn, and Katia Westros as a Pegasus.

Instead of drawing their usual armor, I decided to go with whatever faction armor/clothing they'd wear, with the exception of Cealia and Tievera, since Tievera usually wears the Mages Robes and I didn't feel like drawing the same thing twice! Sofi is wearing the Stormcloak Officer Armor, Arianna is in Imperial Armor, Serana is in the Vampire Armor (which is her default in the game), Hjali is in Celann's variant of the Dawnguard Armor, and Katia is wearing Thieves Guild Armor.

I don't think I've ever drawn something this detailed, especially not ponies, but it was a lot of fun. And a lot of work XD Even with the simplified designs of their clothing, it still took me a long time to draw each of them. (I'd say the exact time, but I started last night and I have no idea how long I was at it XD Today I spent four hours finishing the sketches, inking, and coloring.) The hair was definitely the hardest thing to convert from human to pony, next would be colors. I wanted their hairstyles to be recognizable for who they are, but sometimes I had to make short cuts so the face wouldn't be cluttered. Most notably would be Serana who usually has four braids framing her face, where as I could only fit in two.

Speaking of Serana, I chose to make her a bat pony for a couple reasons. At first it was because she was a vampire and since vampires and bats go together hand in hand, it seemed like a good place to go. But then something awesome happened in Dan's playthrough with Hjali (which some people might consider spoilers, so I won't say what it is) which made me decide that vampires would actually be more like Changelings in the Ponyverse, but I decided to keep Serana as a Bat Pony because of spoiler reasons. (If you want to hear the entire explanation, just ask X3)

So yeah, had a lot of fun with this, though I should probably get back to drawing gifts for people XD
