I’ve been having kind of a rough morning- my sinuses are all clogged up because Mother Nature decided winter hasn’t lasted quite long enough and dumped about a half inch of snow on the ground >:I My nose is very sensitive to dramatic weather changes and after a week of 50-60 degree weather, I was not prepared for this! So to make myself feel better, I decided to draw Sandy Shoals and her older sister Misty Wave.

Sandy and Misty were very close, even though Misty was a few years older. The two did everything together from school work to surfing and chores to building sand castles. Sandy adored her older sister, but after their parents divorced and their mother took them back to her home town of Ponyville, Misty closed off. She became distant and irritable towards Sandy, causing her younger sister to behave in a similar fashion. Once Misty was old enough to move out on her own, she immediately returned to New Saddle to pursue surfing. Since then, the two haven’t begun patching up their old relationship and Sandy is hesitant to try. They’ve become so distant, she wonders if there’s anything left to salvage between them.

I wanted to draw something quick and simple with them. Maybe I’ll draw a picture of Misty Wave in the future that better shows what she looks like. Not sure I’m 110% satisfied with her colors (they turned out a little duller than I’d planned) I’ll probably go back in a fix it when I have the energy. For now, it’s off to play video games XD
