Time to introduce another next gen from my AU.
Son of Octavia Melody and Vinyl Scratch, Ace Chord.

I have some quick little info dumps for him for now (I will explore him more in future drawings).

1. Not much to add, just wanted to draw little bab Ace. Tho useful, 'cos his eyes can be seen much clearer than in the other drawings.

2. Ace was an absolute rascal when he was young and Octavia had to step in as the stricter parent. In my general head canon, ponies has some animal like attributes, for example ponies pick up their young ones with their mouth when they misbehave.

3. Just wanted to draw young teen Ace with his other mom. Because of her muteness Vinyl made sure to express how much she loves and proud of Ace in other ways (lot's hugs and stuff).

4. Ace has a bad eye sight, so when he wanted to wear shades like Vinyl, she gets him some tinted glasses. Sometimes as an adult he wears his normal glasses too, but mostly when he really has to (like serious occasions).

5-6-7. Ace likes to wear neckties but he think leisure style suits him much more (he doesn't really like to be serious).

8. Just like his parents Ace's interest and talent also is with music. He even went to music collage.

9. Ace's instrument of choice is the double bass. But you won't catch him playing it with a bass bow, more with his hooves.
