Ponies who know her better suspect her ‘accident’ might have involved her prior life as the heroine ‘Sunburst’ , known for many things including slaying the Mutilator Raider Clan.
When DJ-PON3 talks of fallen heroes and those who came before the Lightbringer arrived on the scene she’s talking about ponies like Smiles. For most who embark on the same journey as Littlepip this is how they end up, burned out cripples or rotting corpses in the wasteland.
Smiles was that naive once upon a time and she’d have plenty to teach young upstarts who think they alone can fix the wasteland.
She’s left her hero days in the past and although nostalgia sometimes strikes she’s happy where she is now too: Being the most filthy mouthed bartender this side of the wasteland and an alchemist who most know not to fuck with if they value their dignity and/or life.(Based on two different bases. Unfortunately I lost the original files so can’t credit the authors of said bases, sadly enough. Anyone who recognice them I’d be happy to know so I can add them in the description)
Ok clearly my reading comprehension is not what it should be. Yes I’d love to get art of her!
It’s actually a vector (made in illustrator already) but if you want to use the pose or expression go ahead. Face and pose were taken from two separate bases before modifying so I can’t take credit for that.
And if you want to draw Happy Smiles I definitely won’t mind. I have a workable reference sheet for that I could link in that case.
