Zipp Storm
Added 2021-10-04 01:56:28 +0000 UTCAnother of the drawings I started during last night's Picarto stream. Link The theme of the stream was the new Netflix MLP movie and the characters from it. Last night was the first time I attempted to draw any of these characters.
This is Zipp Storm. When I originally saw the character's design I wasn't to thrilled. However she ended being the surprise character for me in the film, and the one I want to learn more about her and her interest piecing together what actually happened long ago. She might end up being a useful in Sunny's own quest for the answer.
One design feature that caught my attention was that the ponies only had a cutie mark on their right side. I'm curious to see if a possible upcoming series will address that issue.

Agreed. The movie was great, but the whole thing could have done better if they slowed the pacing down so we got a better feel for all the characters. Also, is it just me, or did Derpy have like 9000 kids? There are grey & blonde ponies EVERYWHERE in the background of Maretime Bay...

But out of them all both of the pegasus sisters got pretty much the worst of it. But dang am I craving so much more, and have so many questions, so I'm really hoping they make more episodes. Personally I'm just glad that Zipp did not turn into a Rainbow Dash 2.0. And from the looks of things you captured their expression and personality well in your style :)

2021-10-04 03:00:28 +0000 UTCWas in the same boat; assumed she'd be a Rainbow Dash 2.0 attempt, but she turned out really likeable and have a good place in the story and setting. Best G5 pon for me.

2021-10-04 02:27:40 +0000 UTCAt first I thought she was going to be the confrontational jock type character. I'm very happy I was wrong.

2021-10-04 02:01:34 +0000 UTCI agree completely, I was completely unenthused with Zipp leading up to the movie, both in terms of her design and what little I knew of her character. But after seeing the movie, I was really surprised by how endearing she was with her suave level-headedness and her earnest yet humble nature. Of all the new characters, she’s the one I’m most interested to see more of and learn more about, which is a complete about-face from my initial perception of her.
