So, amidst the craze for X-COM2’s new “Chimera Squad” expansion, it occured to me that I hadn’t seen a viper version of the Mane6. I’ve decided to do all of them, themed correctly to each pony, starting with Fluttershy. Technically, I started with Twilight Snekle, but that’s a scrap doodle I’ll upload after I’m done with all the others ;)
 
Because this was the first one, I found myself fiddling quite a lot with the pattern on the back. Looks fine “naked,” but I wanted to better-incorporate Fluttershy’s colors, so I created a diamond pattern… which felt lazy, so I spent some hours attempting to make a “butterfly” pattern (thus incorporating her cutie mark, too) until I found one which works :3
 
Enjoy all 3 versions! :D
