Nightwatcher (Warrior main) and Wind Walker (Pony main)

I figured it was about time I introduce myself, Hi I'm Kodi (He/They).

This is my art blog, it's it not my primary blog so if you want to know if we're mutuals this isn't the blog to check.

@prince-sokka is the account you'll find follows and likes from, that is me.

I also have a Fallout MLP AU going and you can information and characters from that over on @fallouttheponyvaults

While a majority of my art is pony and warrior cat based there will be other things from here and there. This is a safe blog, I will not tolerate hate of any kind. If you'd would like to draw any of my characters I am more okay with that as long as their  credited properly. 

While I'm most my new art will make its way over here as well, I have an art account on Instagram (Renniguess) that will usually get my art first. 

If I draw your ocs (with proper permission) they show up on which ever platform I know you have so I can tag you. So if I found you on here and I can't find a mention of a instagram, the character I draw will only be posted here and vice versa. If I can find you one both then I was post it on both. 

I have high anxiety so while asks and messages are okay, it might take me a day or two to respond. I am queer so there will be queer content. 

I am doing art fight again this year at Renntail and would love to see you guys there.

This is Prickly Pear she belong to @captainzigo

I wanted trying her for a while now and just had some time to do it. I don’t think I’ve drawn character with spots like hers before so it was fun drawing a new fur pattern! Although my cat decided to lay on my chest while I was adding her spots which made it a tricky process, I tried moving her 3 times but girlie really wanted me stop drawing lol. Anyways She was super fun to draw!

Introducing My oldest OC and my avatar Wind Walker. My little lad has gone through many changes and a full redesign to get where they are now their pronouns are She/They/He. They are pegasus who lives on a cozy sky island on the outer borders of Equestia. She from a long line of racing pony’s with both her parents being big name racers. That was never the life she wanted, instead she moved to a small sky island to start her own little farm. She grows all her own food and sells the leftover produce to the nearby villages. He has a small sky sheep herd and he sells their wool and feathers to local boutiques. They are very friendly and always willing to lead a helping hoof. They have a younger brother named Carnelian who regularly visits when he’s not studying.

All my MLP Redesigns!

[kodi-makes-art]

Flutter Shy redesign. This is the last of my main 6 redesigns. I put off doing Flutter Shy because I wasn't too sure what I wanted to do with her. In the end she is probably one of my favorite redesigns.

Flutter Shy is half pony (father) half deer (mother). She gets her name from her father's sister Flutter who passed shortly before she was born. She is a distant cousin of Rainbow Dash, this made them super close growing up. Although she doesn't have wings because her father is a pegasus she is able to walk on clouds. There was uncertainty if she would get a cutie mark because of her deer DNA but this didn't bother her. She did end up getting one when she realized she could understand animals and found her passion in caring for them. She runs a animal sanctuary on the outskirts of Ponyville, she is also Ponyvilles best vet.

Rainbow Dash redesign

Rainbow Dash was born Rain Dash and grew up in Clouds Dale. When she was 13 she participated in a race with the other young pegasus in her school. This was the day she managed to be the first pony to ever do a Sonic Rain Boom. What should have been a great day and accomplishment, became the day she almost lost her life and left her permanently changed. Rainbow lightning like scars run up her legs, her feathers became Rainbow and her once white hair is now streaked in colours. And one of her front legs was injured beyond repair leaving her unable to use it without a brace.

Rainbow Dash of course sees very little issue with the consequences and chooses to change her to name to fit her new look. Princess Celestia sees the damage done to the young filly and rules out a new law called Dash’s Law. No pony under the age of 20 and without training/ experience may attempt to do a Sonic Rain Boom.

Meet my girl Nightwatcher! She is my oldest OC created way back when I was 12 and just reading Warriors for the first time. Her appearance has changed several times over the years but her lore has pretty much stayed the same. Here's a brief description of her life.

She was born to an Riverclan she-cat with her brother Littlefield, her birth mother did not survive the birth and the two of them were taken in by Snowleaf the late deputy who raised them with her own kits. Once becoming an apprentice she became fast friends with Mousepaw (a young Longstar). She could often be found in trees just observing the world around her in her free time. Which led to her name Nightwatcher.

On her warrior ceremony she was taken by the Reds a group of rouges that have been terrorizing the four clans. They ripped off her tail leaving it behind to make the clan cats to believe her dead. 

She was presumed dead for 3 seasons (3 years) and was held captive for 2 and a half of those seasons. Far from the clans. There she met Willow and Rock two loners who were expecting kits and had been captured as well. During this time Nightwatcher is called the Scared one or just Scar. 

She is made to fight in an arena like thing to survive, losing means death. This is where the majority of her scars come from.

Rock is killed not long after their arrival and Willow along with two of three of her kits don't survive the first week after their birth. They're too weak. Nightwatcher takes the last kit, a tom and names him Lark after a bird his mother often talked about. She vows to get them out and raise him as her own. 

She manages to get them out and they spend the next six months making their way back to Riverclan. They arrived mid battle and shock everyone who believed her dead. They help win this battle and everyone is happy to have her home and welcome Lark to their clan. Before Nightwatcher can ask for Snowleaf she sees then Longscars half star mark on his forehead marking him as deputy. Her mother is gone and she never got to say goodbye.

She settles back in and fights many battles with her clan mates. And later has three kits with Longscar. She is the winning factor in the last battle against the Reds and her life is taken as she takes out the Rouge groups leader. Leaving Foxkit(Foxchaser), Claykit(Claytail/Star), and Stormkit(Storm) to be raised by their father alone.

Once I redo Longscar/stars reference sheet I'll add him here, his old one is up on my Instagram (Renniguess) if you want to see it.

Fire alone can save our clan

Pinkie Pie redesign.

Pinkie was born a middle child to the Pie family. Unlike her parents and siblings tho she was born a bright pink and a pegasus. She stood out from her dull colored earth pony family. Her parents decided she must have gotten her genetics from her mother’s father who was a pegasus. Although she was different her family loved her all the same. It becomes apparent tho that they didn’t know how to raise a pegasus in a way the child would thrive. So when Pinkie was 13 she is sent to live in Ponyville with the Cakes distant cousins of the Pies. Pinkie was sad at first but soon grew to love it there with the all bright colors and different pony’s. She got her cutie mark from the first party she helped throw with the Cakes.

All of the main six are already up on my instagram Renniguess but I am transferring them here as well.

when i say i hate bronies in my header, it’s hyperbole. i don’t necessarily hate you if you self identify with the brony label. i don’t even hate you necessarily if the brony label applies to you. it’s kinda like when i say i hate all men

i hate the bastards who seemed hell bent on showing me porn and gore as a child. the ones who made fandom for the new children’s show an unsafe place for children. the ones gatekeeping the show’s litteral target audience from their own spaces. the ones who were misogynistic and homophobic like i’ve never even seen in a baptist church here in the south. i can say more, but ill save that stuff for therapy.

i’m a fan of stuff for which i am not the target audience, a great many things, but im not bigot about it. also considering that i am a trans woman, and more than that i was a child when the show was coming out, the brony label does not apply to me and i would appreciate it not being used for me. entirely divorced from my personal baggage with the label

if you self identify as a brony im probably pretty chill with you actually. and if you are one of the people ive been describing here, you better have done a lot of growing as a person. and please venmo me $50 at least

My Rarity Redesign.

You can find all my art on my Instagram (renniguess). All six of the main six are on there already.

Rarity was born in the crystal empire, like her parents she had a beautiful pure white coat making her the perfect daughter. Her parents decided to move the family manehattan when Rarity was around 10 years old. Because of this choice she would not get her cutie mark until she was 18 (very late) because she was not near any mines. When she was 12 Sweetie Belle was born, unlike Rarity she was born with a baby blue coat and lacked a few crystal pony features. This would lead to their parents wanting nothing to do with the young filly and pretending she didn't exist. Rarity not liking the treatment of her little sister, swore she'd do everything she could to get her out of that situation. She started working as soon as she could, saving every coin so as soon as she turned 18 she could take Sweetie Belle away to a better life. She discovered her love for fashion and thought for sure she'd get her cutie mark for but she didn't. The day came for them to leave and she expected her parents to fight her on leaving and taking Sweetie Belle but there was no fight and it was revealed that Sweetie Belle was the product of an affair. They left for Ponyville and never looked back. Rarity brought a small run down boutique for her and Sweetie Belle and started the long journey to repair it. She was worried at first that they wouldn't be accepted into the town but would later find that the town was very welcoming and full of strange and unique pony's. Before getting her business up and running Rarity worked at the mines outside of town. It was here she discovered her special ability to find gems and got her cutie mark.
