What am I doing with my life.

Here, have a Jigsaw Puzzle, "Puzzle" for short. I've been wanting to throw her up here for ages, considering that she has been literally the only thing I've doodled in a worrisomely long time. Maybe when I get a chance I'll put together a proper ref sheet for her.

I know we've only seen one spotty pony in canon so far (Pipsqueak, holla), but what can I say, I'm a sucker for piebald! Not to mention that gypsy vanners are my favorite horse breed, so Puzzle's (very loosely) based on them.

Her cutie mark is a winged shooting star. Her special talent is problem-solving. Puzzle works as a courier and spends her time travelling all over Equestria, being a general wander-bug. She loves flying, reading, flying, stargazing, flying, flying, birds, and meeting people. And flying.

. . .

...I needed this. Badly. And I don't mean the pony so much as the fact that it has been a terribly, terribly long time since I have *made* anything. Or anything creative, at least. It's awful. I've been flat on my rump with work, studying harder than I ever have before, and it still isn't enough. I'm ok, but I didn't realize how much of an impact it would have on me, emotionally, to not be able to take time off for art or writing. Creating beautiful things heals me. I could use some healing right about now. This. Felt. Amazing. To Make. Life is kinda ok right now. ^^

Love yas. :iconbrohoof1plz::iconbrohoof2plz:

"...and flying, and flying, and flying. Did I mention flying?" XD
I take it this is your pony-sona?

Glad to see you're staying creative with what little time you do have! ^^

Haha, how could you tell? XD Yep, this is my pony-sona...it took me forever to settle on her design, too. I was afraid she was too many colors, but...but...! Well. I like her, and she's lots of fun to draw. :3 Ponies have kept me sane lately, it was great to do this in full color! ;P

Hurray for sanity! XD I really like her design! She turned out great! The colors work well, and you've kept them bright without over-saturating them. Her patterns add interest and fit her name too! ^^ Is there any significance behind her cutie mark btw?

Thank you! I'm really glad you think so. :3 I want to do a quick full-body ref for her to set out her patterns, since I took some liberties with the gradients here. As for her cutie mark...it took me forever to settle on one, but I really like this one. I knew I needed something about wings, since, um, me ( ;P ) but I also really wanted to work in something about stars or space. And I've always had a special love of shooting stars, and I tend to be kind of lucky...so I though, hey, winged shooting star! :D I dunno, maybe it's not too "Puzzle"-y, but I really liked it and thought it fit. :heart:

It does fit! I kinda like the idea of a pony's name matching her appearance but not necessarily her cutie mark. I mean, if they don't have them as fillies however could they be named something that matches their cutie mark perfectly? X3

Nice to see you drawing again. It really pleases an artist's mind to draw after so long time ^^
Also I must say I really love her design. :D
