I've gone soft in my old age

Description

I was thinking about some of my old pony characters from when I was a teenager. I don't own any of these characters anymore, nor do I know who does, but they're still important memories to me.

Patchwork was a struggling single father trying to do his best to raise his infant daughter. Waterworks was a sourpuss who hated the saccharine world of FiM and idolized Sombra because he brought misery. I don't remember what Arvore did, but I recall he was Brazilian and originally had a green coat and watermelon red mane. I remember submitting Patchwork to an old pony OC review blog and people really liked him. For a loser teenager like me, that was a big deal. A lot of things would happen because of that, good and bad. A lot of the bad stuff was my fault. I'd make new friends, I'd act out and damage relationships, I'd help others with their own characters and stories, I'd bully people because I didn't like their cartoon horse, I'd isolate myself from my friends, I'd post gross shit to be edgy and scare off those darn SJWs or whatever my dumb ass was thinking, I'd act like a complete jackass and I'd learn. People can always change and grow and do better. They have to want it and make the effort, but they can do it. I'm really glad I made the effort and continue to work on myself.

Ah, but you're not here to read some sap's ramblings, are you? You're probably wondering, "Dustin, you silly cunt, why are you drawing horses you don't own?"

I was feeling sentimental and wanted to do a little exercise, see how I'd design these ponies over a decade after their original creation. Wanna see their original designs? Unfortunately I can't find any old art I did of Waterworks so you'll have to accept my favorite art someone else did of her.

If you currently own any of these ponies, please let me know so I can properly credit you.

God, it's weird seeing people get into the mlp fandom. I've personally been around since I was a teenager!
