Zap Apples. This is how Ponyville was made.
I do really like yesterday's episode <3

I decided to make this one quickly, with a fat outlines... because I usually rage-quit drawings if my outlines aren't perfect. Or I give up and continue with what I have. I must kill this ugly self criticism because it kills art.

As an old lady of 47, I truly enjoyed this story. And you just added to the fleshing out of Ponyville history.

This drawing looks like it could be inserted into the very program that inspired it on MLP:FiM. The outlines and soft lines bring out the same type of quality as program.

I love how you "muted" the colors of Granny Smith and her clothes, and the surrounding area. Even the eyes of the Timberwolves are not so bright. It is the Zap Apples that become the stars of the entire piece. The electric bolts are amazing simple and accurate! And the glow on the one Zap Apple shows just how special these apples are to the ponies.

Check this out to see the MLP:FiM episode "Family Appreciation Day" [link] It is the episode that inspired a beautiful work of art.
