Description
I’m adding the spoiler tags mainly because of the description, since this sketch is based on a kinda spoilery theory from the fifth episode of MYM Chapter 4, that Misty and Alphabittle might be related, or maybe she’s even Alphabittle’s daughter.
This is my first attempt at drawing Alphabittle in his 30s, as he’s desperately looking for filly Misty in the downpour.
This time I was playing around with Alphie’s mane, making it a bit more similar to Misty’s in its tone. I really wish I knew Alphabittle’s true mane color tho, because he’s either born with white mane, or his mane is simply greyed from the stress of losing her daughter and possibly even his wife at some point.

Besides I gave him a stubble, to make him look a bit older than a young adult, and also to indicate that as a widowed, working father of a 1 or 2 years old filly (I hc Misty was only at this age when she was lost), he just simply didn’t have the time to regularly shave his face. And later on he just went with this look. :D
Long story short, personally I still prefer Alphabittle with white mane even as young, and probably I’ll draw him like that until a canon depiction will prove it otherwise. It’s a bit hard to explain why, but I think it’s because white mane gives him a softer, warmer look overall, which I like better.
Good idea maybe we see that in Chapter 5 or 6.
Thank you! ^^
