Real men wear Pinkie Pie Shirts
Songs in the key of P Welovefine shirt entry by =ronaldhennessy
Here is my second Welovefine My Little Pony contest 3 entry. I figured it would be fun to see a shirt design featuring Pinkie’s “greatest hits”. Sadly, some of her verses couldn’t be included. Wanted to make sure design “pops” out.
When the contest starts on April 6th, be sure to VOTE 5 and TELL ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS!
![Real Men Wear Pink-ie Pie Shirts - WLF entry by =ronaldhennessy
This is my 1st entry for the 3rd welovefine MLP contest. I strive to create my shirts for both genders, but I felt this time I wanted to make a big statement since I’m a huge Pinkie Pie fan. I often hear the saying “Real Men Wear X”, usually pertaining to stuff like Kilts, the color Pink and even saw a shirt say “Real Men Wear (Mickey) Mouse Ears”. So, I got the ball moving with this one. Combined with what the “Discorded” Pinkie Pie said about what to “think before laughing at the Pink…ie Pie.” [link] and “Real Men Wear X” and I have myself an ideal!Currently, I’m looking for feedback on the shirt. It would feel awkward if a woman wore it so there must be a way to make this feel “gender compatible”.And oh, the design for Pinkie Pie was vectored up myself.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m18w5dTFs41qzd987o1_500.png)

Pinkie Pie - Come On Every Pony Smile Smile Smile! by =ronaldhennessy
I’m probably the LAST Brony on earth to have “Smile, Smile, Smile” related artwork, but with other things in the way, it couldn’t have been done that quickly.
At lease it’s finished, sure didn’t take as long as I expected.
Pinkie Pie - #smilefromwithin by =ronaldhennessy
Gatorade currently has a social media ad campaign on twitter called #winfromwithin. If there were “Ponyade” it would probably be #smilefromwithin
Better late than never. Enjoy.

Well, what a strange trip 2011 has been. I joined the site in 2005 and was a lurker, faving stuff every now and then. At the time, I didn’t have any inkling of posting artwork. I had a lot of…um…personal issues that prevented me from doing so. Also, I didn’t really draw at all. Towards the end of the decade, I decided to start learning to draw. I primarily read about drawing around 2009-10 and started to invest in sketchbooks and eventually got me a tablet. From 09 to around late 2010, it was a time of experimentation. I had some ideas floating around in my head for awhile, so I did some original stuff every now and then. For the most part, I drew stuff on paper as I wasn’t yet warm to drawing with a tablet. Needless to say the small Intuos4 I invested gathered dust. (I was drawing in an 8x11 paper sketchbook and on a much smaller tablet. I couldn’t get used to it.) Coupled with my anxiety over doing artwork in public and no direction, I didn’t create much in 2010.Forward to 2011. I began to “reboot” my approach to drawing. I invested in things that I would actually use. I sold the intuos4 small and got me a Bamboo which was larger and suited my drawing style. I went away from using Sketchbook Pro to Photoshop CS 5 for my primary work (I still use SBP from time to time for some sketching). I also started to work on making more original characters (some which aren’t “ready” yet, see my scraps), drew a LOT in my paper sketchbooks and dabbed in some Fan Art. Speaking of fan art, as you all know, Ponies are cool these days. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is awesome and you should watch it. My date of friendship infection was in February and never looked back. I eventually met some “bronies” in the flesh this May in NYC and saw it turn from a small gathering of animation/video game nerds who happen to like cute ponies to a growing convention where the people involved in the show are now attending. My social life online and off has never been this 20% cooler. Much of my views and faves this year comes primarily from my MLP:FIM artwork. While I have a strong preference towards my own original art and wish it had a little more exposure, people are going to gravitate towards what they want for better or for worse.These are the 12 pieces of art that I feel are my best in 2011. Feel free to take a look at them and don’t be afraid to comment. After all, I’m still learning to draw.I’m just getting started.Gallery featuring all 12 artwork.
