Earth Pony Crest

Four hours for the pencil drawing. At least twice that for the color. And I still can’t believe this came from me!

'Fortitudo de terra' is Latin for 'The strength of the earth'. Special thanks to Keystone for helping me come up with a variety of translations to choose from!

I had the original idea to do this a month or two ago, but never really touched it beyond sketching thumbnails out for each crest I wanted to do. I’m pretty sure pony crests aren’t anything new, but I’m not certain if anyone’s done the pony types with the Mane Six specifically. 

I do plan on eventually doing Unicorn and Pegasi crests as well, though I don’t have a timeline. I also may do one with Celestia and Luna (natural born Alicorns) and, if I’m feeling adventurous, one of Cadance and Twilight (created Alicorns).

I might add ivy mantling to it, but I’m still not sure. We’ll see
