Time Off

He doesn't actually help me around the garage, but... you know, sometimes you need another pair of hooves, but other times, you just want to unwind. Isn't that what friends are for?

--- Commission
Commissioned by *CatWhitney for her two friends, *Sibsy and *MandoPony. The request was to "make something cute, maybe him playing his mandolin for her."

--- Characters
The characters, in case you are not aware, are *MandoPony's MandoPony and *Sibsy's Wild Fire.

--- Technical
Four iterations. Started with MandoPony's animation, build his surrounding around that. Then I added Wildfire and created a rudimentary background. The third file saw a major change of the background itself (made the whole garage thing) and the fourth one changed Wildfire a bit to give her more of her typical look and personality.
Although, you know. It's not like I'm an actual storyboard artist.

--- Links

There's a hundred points for the first person who finds ALL of the Easter Eggs! Some of them are just in the original SVG. Zoom around.

As always, I'd love to hear your opinion on this one!
