Draconequus - Blog Posts
All this time I was in the MLP fandom growing up back when Friendship is Magic was still going and I never drew Discord! Well I have finally changed that!
Discord has one of the best redemption arcs I have ever seen. Everything that drives him is the true and honest kindness he received from Fluttershy from the very beginning. She gave him genuine friendship that he didn’t have to fight for, unlike with the other mane 6. Don’t get me wrong, their wariness and distrust was 100% valid. Especially considering how discord betrayed them more than once after his initial redemption. But this betrayal is exactly what I love most about his growth. It wasn’t instantaneous. He didn’t immediately change into a good person or a good friend, He lapsed back into his bad habits and his old lifestyle because that is where he felt safe. He didn’t know how to be a good friend. And certainly didn’t know the first thing about changing. But he worked to become better anyway. Despite his poor choices, Fluttershy stuck by his side as he worked to turn himself around and break away from the lifestyle he used to rely on.
It is such a real representation of what it takes to change. Mistakes, grace from those around you, and most importantly, it takes time. The writers captured all of this and more while still staying true to the whimsy and the chaos that makes Discord who he is. I love this show.
Annnnnd meet Tanjorin ‼️‼️‼️
While Dreamtide doesn't have a Discord, there's certainly no shortage of chaotic events when this Melivora is around! Tanjorin is the creature responsible for bringing boundless fun with a hint of trouble; An eccentric and playful monster who takes on the task of disrupting order with a dash of sweetness!

NATG XIV - Day 16
Prompt: Draw a pony as another species / Draw a pony getting a new lease on life.
Hitch as a draconequus; I just thought it would be fun to see a more "orderly" character as one. Originally thought of him having more seaside animal parts, since he's the sheriff of a seaside town.
NATG XIV - Day 15
Prompt: Draw a ponyfied version of your favorite book, game, etc / Draw a pony from another world.
Sort of inspired by the latest BFDI:TPOT episode ("Out of the Blue"). Liy is a unicorn whose horn (and hooves?) light up when you press the switch on her nose. Four is a draconequus (though he doesn't really look the part; he looks more like Prickle from Gumby). And the Eternal Algebra Class is exactly what it sounds like; you don't want to go here.
The full chalkboard for anyone who wants to see it:
A draconequus OC I made. This idea came to me while I was waiting for TPOT 6 and looking at clips of MYM chapter 4 on Derpibooru (specifically "Sunny Side Up" - what a coincidence the challenge for TPOT 6 was about food!). Her personality would probably be something like "socially awkward; likes cooking" - I had thought of a scene where she was watching the cooking show and someone came in and asked her about it.
