and that's 100 MLP characters drawn with random expressions from Abisalli's Emotion Challenge!!
an interesting set of characters, Coloratura's hair took a WHILE but i think i got it down right, and Lyra's expression was so cute! Bright Mac got an interesting one and i like the angle i did for it, and Filthy Rich having a slighly unhinged expression kinda works. Getting Derpy in the final set with an adorable expression was a treat!
this has been super fun! i'm glad this little project has gotten me back into drawing again, and we'll see what i end up making next!
#mlp#my little pony#abisalli emotion challenge#mlpfim#mlp fanart#my art#mlp derpy#mlp muffins#derpy#derpy hooves#mlp lyra#lyra heartstrings#mlp bright mac#mlp filthy rich#mlp coloratura#mlp countess coloratura#countess coloratura#derpy's expression is so cuuuuute!!#i was able to knock out three sketches for her actually#it was hard to choose!#and lyra's little blush!!#adorable!!#coloratura's hair was a challenge#but i do think it went well#honestly filthy rich in the actual show wasn't a bad character#still a money-hoarding capitalist#but he wasn't as bad as other rich characters#he was cartoonishly evil in equestria girls though#but that's a different case

another set of mlp characters with random expressions from Abisalli's Emotion Challenge!
we have the same expression twice in this one, and i'm honestly surprised this was the first time that happened
#mlp#my little pony#abisalli emotion challenge#my art#mlp maud pie#mlp maud#maud pie#mlp mudbriar#mlp pip#mlp mrs cake#mlp captain celaeno#captain celaeno#i like that maud and mudbriar were in the same one#their expressions were also both funny

nearing the end of my 100 mlp character wheel, and before i finish up i wanted to do another round of redos!
these are from a few different sets, and they're the ones where even when i originally posted them i thought i could do better. so i finally did!

here are the originals!
Sunburst was originally part of Set 2, Rarity was in Set 4, Rainbow Dash and Ember were both in Set 5, and Doctor Whooves was from set 9!
for Sunburst and Rarity i was actually able to reuse my original sketches because i still thought they were solid, i just wasn't able to render them as well as i wanted to for whatever reason. i completely revamped the other three, and love where the new ones landed!
#mlp#my little pony#abisalli emotion challenge#mlp fanart#my art#mlp rarity#rarity#rainbow dash#mlp rainbow dash#mlp sunburst#mlp ember#mlp dragon#mlp doctor whooves#doctor whooves#i think this'll be my las set of redos though#most of the others are good in my book#it's just that the originals for these ones reeeally bothered me#dash especially had a glowup between drawings!#her mouth is in a place that makes sense!!#also i gave sunburst his cloak haha#and i finally figured out how i wanted to do rarity's hair in this style#it's so much more dynamic and interesting#i suppost the top looks a bit more flat in comparison but that's how it was in the show

reeeally proud of this set! these may not be the biggest characters, but i think the rolled expressions and the drawings still came together very nicely!
#mlp#my little pony#abisalli emotion challenge#mlp fanart#my art#mlp mayor mare#mayor mare#mlp neighsay#mlp chancellor neighsay#chancellor neighsay#mlp lightning dust#lightning dust#mlp coriander#coriander cumin#mlp miss pommel#mlp coco pommel#miss pommel#coco pommel#i keep spending more and more time on these oops#but that means i'm having fun#which is always good :)#and it means they keep turning out good

both changeling rulers in one set! plus Cheerilee lookin like a student finally got on her nerves lol
i also like the expressions i rolled, four of them look so disgruntled, (but in different ways) and then Flash Magnus is just there
#mlp#my little pony#abisalli emotion challenge#mlp fanart#my art#mlp changeling#mlp chrysalis#queen chrysalis#mlp thorax#mlp cheerilee#cheerilee#mlp king sombra#mlp sombra#sombra#these were some of the more complex designs i think#although sombra doesn't really have ears#also i don't usually use gradients for these but i kinda needed to for thorax#and then there's flash magnus#not gonna lie#i hate his design#like the rest of the pillars look different#and it adds to their “out of their time” aesthetic#but flash magnus just looks like some guy#who just happens to wear armor#like...that's so boring#oh well

got some more randomized mlp expressions!!
#mlp#my little pony#abisalli emotion challenge#mlp fanart#my art#mlp babs seed#mlp babs#babs seed#mlp yona#mlp yak#mlp braeburn#mlp diamond tiara#diamond tiara#mlp sugar belle#i am SO happy with how braeburns hat ended up#stetson hats are do weird to draw#and babs' expression is honestly so cute#yona was a fun one too#i didn't care much for the student six#and yona's schtick got a bit old#but she was still sweet#also figuring out how the hell diamond tiara's hair worked was interesting#because the way it swoops doesn't actually make sense#so i had to MAKE it make sense

deja vu? nope! i decided to go back to my very first set of expressions and redraw them!
i feel like i made a lot of progress in artstyle from even just the first set into the second (and of course on from there) so i wanted to go back to bring that first bunch up to where the rest are at!

here is the original for comparison!
#mlp#my little pony#abisalli emotion challenge#my art#mlp fanart#redraw#mlp fleetfoot#mlp gabby#mlp rockhoof#mlp luna#mlp princess luna#princess luna#mlp soarin#i am SO much happier with these now#but hey had to start somewhere#i didnt even use soarin's correct eye color rip#and gabby's beak was very blocky oops

another fun round of expressions from the Abisalli Emotion Challenge, i didn't expect to like drawing Grogar so much!
Flurry Heart took me a surprising amount of time, and not just because of the way i do gradients in this style, for some reason the baby face was a bit of a challenge for me
#mlp#my little pony#abisalli emotion challenge#my art#mlp fanart#mlp flam#mlp grogar#mlp silver spoon#mlp flurry heart#mlp tempest shadow#mlp tempest#i actually dont have much else to say in the tags this time#the rest of the drawings are good! i like them#but no other interesting observations from me today#oh well

another wide range of fun expressions!
i believe Twilight was the last one from the Mane 6 and Scootaloo was the last from the CMC i needed to draw, so funny getting them both here!
also Bulk Biceps was a really interesting one to draw because his proportions are so wild
#mlp#my little pony#abisalli emotion challenge#mlp fanart#my art#mlp caballeron#mlp scootaloo#mlp twilight sparkle#twilight sparkle#mlp flash sentry#mlp bulk biceps#flash sentry#bulk biceps#imma be honest#flash sentry was over-hated#because there isn't realy that much to hate about him#since he's barely a character in the series#though i suppose that is a reason to dislike him in and of itself...#i dunno he's just kinda there#but he's not bad at least#caballeron crying was a bit funny for me to draw#he didn't need a redemption ngl

more expressions, a wide range of emotion this time around!
i like the smug lil face Zephyr got and Trenderhoof's judgy look also fits nicely
poor Sunset though, it's basically her face at the end of the first movie but pony and that's actually pretty funny
#mlp#my little pony#abisalli emotion challenge#mlp fanart#my art#mlp zephyr breeze#zephyr breeze#mlp pear butter#mlp sunset shimmer#sunset shimmer#mlp trenderhoof#mlp thunderlane#also i added a bit more of the injury to thunderlane's expression#i think it's alright honestly

i finally made a ponysona (or i suppose kirin-sona), and with it a new profile pic for this account!
i feel like it just made sense to make my main oc a kirin, the serene vibe suits me
i like where Orchid Ash's design ended up, I based the color scheme on blue dendrobium orchids!

halfway through the 100 characters on my wheel!! wowza
i'm glad I rolled a happy expression for Autumn Blaze, I loved her in the show (if only they used kirins more)
and rolling the "deal with it" sunglasses for Steven Magnet was also great
#mlp#my little pony#abisalli emotion challenge#mlp fanart#my art#mlp griffon#mlp steven magnet#mlp autumn blaze#mlp kirin#mlp sweetie belle#sweetie belle#mlp cadance#princess cadance#mlp gilda#sweetie belle's concerned face also has humor potential#the cadence expressions was cute#i didn't expect to draw gilda blushing#but it's also cute#honestly gilda needed another ep to show that her redemption stuck#because if i remember right her last speaking role was griffonstone#the giffons in general were underdeveloped#oh well

another decent set, Tirek was weird to draw but honestly not too bad.
I also like where Spitfire and Goldie's drawings ended up, and I like Applebloom's hair
#mlp#my little pony#abisalli emotion challenge#mlp fanart#my art#mlp tirek#lord tirek#mlp applebloom#apple bloom#mlp spitfire#mlp goldie delicious#mlp doctor whooves#doctor whooves#the main one i thought was too funky was doctor whooves#he turned out a bit too square but oh well

another batch that I had a lot of fun with, I try to keep these quick when I draw/color them but I spent a little extra time here!
#mlp#my little pony#abisalli emotion challenge#mlp fanart#my art#mlp spike#mlp starswirl#starswirl the bearded#mlp sassy saddles#mlp granny smith#granny smith#mlp troubleshoes#i couldn't think of what to replace the blood in spike's expression with#i thought of cake batter or something#since he likes to bake#but it looked weird so i scrapped it#troubleshoe's boxy headshape was also surprisingly easy to get down
