For anybody who’ve been paying attention, you’d know I made an update on the MLP reviews. I’ve been working them since 2017, back when there was only seven seasons, a theatrical film, and the promise of the show never ending. Obviously, some things have changed by then, including my plans for the review. For starters, they will now be compiled into one big review that covers each and every season of the show, the movie, and one surprise bonus review. If you’ve seen the Season 1 review I already posted, each review will essentially be like that, but it will also cover the premiere episode for each season. For the record, I’ve also edited the original Season 1 review to include the first episode, so that’ll be interesting. My goal is to have it posted before October 2020 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Friendship is Magic’s debut, or maybe June to celebrate something called Junicorn, so keep your fingers crossed. In the meantime, I figured you’d guys will want updates on how the art for the reviews are going. With that in mind, I’ve decided to post sneak peeks of sketches and other pictures to keep you guys informed on how far I’m coming on the project.
 
Surprisingly, this is actually a preview for the surprise review. When I initially sketched the cover for the Season 1 review, my plan was to draw Pinkie Pie parodying Pennywise from It, but finding out Andy Price already slipped in a funny Pennywise reference in the IDW books stopped me. So, what’d I go with instead? In 2017 when I first released the Season 1 review, Marvel had just cancelled a new comic series I had really enjoyed. The series focused on a perky, lovable comic book fan named Gwen Poole who fell into the Marvel Universe and tried making a new for herself there under the alias Gwenpool. Starting out as a mash between Spider-Gwen and Deadpool, Gwenpool became her own character beloved by dozens of comic-book fans like me, all of us who were sad to see her book cancelled by a company who didn’t understand her. Given her quirky attitude and natural talent for demolishing the fourth wall, I thought it’d be fun to draw Pinkie Pie as Gwenpool. Thus, Pinkiepool was born! Not to mention in the original review I picked Party of One as my favorite episode, so drawing Pinkie as Gwenpool came with a built-in pun: Pinkiepool Party of One! Enjoy, and keep checking back in for more sneak peeks!
