Seeking Pony Art for Charity


I am reprehensibly late with this, but it's important, so late will have to do. The charity group Your Siblings is putting together their annual art drive to help create awareness and foster the spirit of solidarity and love between people all around the world. This year, they have embraced My Little Pony and the brony communities "love and tolerate" message as a part of their own. 


What does this mean? Well, it means you can help people in need of care and attention get the help they need by drawing ponies. Yes, that's right. Drawing ponies. So draw some ponies to help remind everypony that you don't have to be related to treat somepony like family. Don't let a lack of skill deter you: this is about the thought and not the execution. So if this is something you feel is worth a little bit of time, give it a shot! If ever there were a time for it, it would be now. 


For more information, including where to send your art or other ways you can contribute, see this post.

Quick, someone grab my tablet!

Bombedrumbum said...

This is bringing Love and Tolerance to a whole new level @__@



And to that, I say:

CHARGE!!

Tanner G said...

I am not an artist in the slightest, but I might contribute to this anyway because a bad drawing from a sibling is something special all the same.

PonyPonyPonyBrony said...

Woohoo! This is my jam!
Let's do some goooood! LOVED ONES FOR EVERYPONY!!!!!

(I'm sorry. I'm about to be done writing a 100 page thesis involving Rogerian therapy. Love is a great thing.)

Bombedrumbum said...

Time to break out the pencil and paper, it's time to love!~

Ponyus said...

i guess scootaloo and rainbow dash would be an obovious choice?

WHO CARES! LETS DO SOME CRUDELY DRAWN PONIES OF LOVE! I USE THY ROYAL CAPS LOCK TO MAKE MY POINT!

Bombedrumbum said...

YE OLDE ROYAL CANTERLOT PENCIL SHALL BE USED FOR THE LOVING OF ONE ANOTHER


.........i have delusions of adequacy when it comes to drawing

Al_Skylark said...

Awww that's quite a touching charity, I will toss one or two drawings for the cause for sure! Besides that Derpy image gave me quite an idea :3

Thanks for the post Phoe, you know what they say, better late than never!

Eddmario said...

I wonder if there will be any Past Sins artwork submitted...
Speaking of which, would my href="http://eddmario.deviantart.com/art/Past-Sins-Movie-Poster-264151475?"Past Sins movie poster be submission worthy?

Eddmario said...

@Eddmario
Crap, it didn't link right.

Rainbow Dash said...

Such an awesome idea!!! Perhaps I should take partak....?

Aesahaettr said...

Well now I have something amazingly good I can do with all of these sketches I keep making and not have to worry about them not being darwfriend amazing.

This makes me a happy pony.

Luckily I've finished a picture today! TO THE ENTRIES WITH YOU!

CityFlyer502 said...

If it's to help a worthy cause, I'm definitely willing to chip in something. Though if I can come up with something that looks halfway decent in the process, I'll be one happy guy.

Bombedrumbum said...

I had inherited good drawing skills from mt family, and through hard work, I have overcome them.


In other words, I don't have them anymore

Huundee said...

since i didnt donate to that humble brony bundle thing, or any other charity's posted here :/ i could crack out the pencil and paper and see what i could do

Octavia said...

Yay pony arts. Pony arts: Helping to make the world a better place one drawing at a time. :>

Aesahaettr said...

@Bombe

It does... doesn't help when you already click publish though :/

@Octavia

That's the spirit, woohoo! Let's make some smiles, everypony. :)

Bombedrumbum said...

MegaPatron said...

Pony arts is the best arts!

Hat said...

Do we send in the actual drawing or a link to a scan/digitised version?

Tokyo Oranges said...

You're late?

Samuel7897 said...

Dantes_Grill said...

Telofy said...

Thanks for all the great feedback everypony!

@wackypony Wackyteen, is that you?

@Eddmario Sure, just submit it (or any other piece of Past Sins art). I lurve that fanfic!

Telofy said...

@Hat For most ponies it’s probably easier and cheaper to send in a digitized version by email. (I do have scanner and camera though.) Thanks!

Big mackintosh said...

I uploaded a pic of Sparkler and Dinky playing together. After all I thought an adopted sister like Sparkler would fit well with this campaign :) I'd love to hear what you all think of it, im going to start a tumblr soon so I need as many opinions as possible

Telofy said...

I just reorganized my blog post a little, the one Phoe linked up there, and was reminded of this one. O nostalgia!

I remember how I still worked for Retresco back then and every morning, before work or university, added the new submissions to the post.

Regrettably, some artists have since deleted their contributions, and I had only linked them in. However, I could still find at least thumbnails of each piece and archived them for posterity.

Little did I know that we—Bronies for Good and Your Siblings—would go on to raise more than $100,000 in 2012!

<3 to whoever may still read this.
