> Drawn for ![](https://a.deviantart.net/avatars/m/l/mlp-atg-alumni.gif?9)'s week 35 theme "Imitation".
>
> So I don't read directions especially well apparently. As such, my drawing is not so much an emulation of a single work as it is of a family of works. To be specific, it was my intent to emulate ~[KuroiTsubasaTenshi](https://kuroitsubasatenshi.deviantart.com/)'s distinctive style and approach.
>
> My primary reference, other than his tutorials, was this particular image (my personal favorite amongst his works.)

> There are a lot of things that bug me about my work, not the least of which being the way my scanner being to small screwed everything up. I don't know how I'm going to do it, but one day I'll get vengeance against that stupid machine. The second in the pondering hoof. And the last is that I never make Pinkie Pie's hair big enough. She has one seriously fluffy mane and I don't quite capture that.
>
> Oh, and my abysmal shading (the element of most interest.) Admittedly, this particular style of shading is definitely new to me, but even still. If this effort has taught me one thing it's that I need better pressure control, period.
>
> Oh, and how in the hell does he keep his paper clean?! I need to use white cotton gloves or something 'cause I ended up with smudges and fingerprints everywhere!
>
> Also, for those interested I also did a few other things for this week, mirroring a specific work and a thematic style in the first and second ones respectively.
