This is one of my particular favorite pairings or even shipping, (although a tad vanilla and mild personalities) Tony Tony Chopper might be the type to take action before Fluttershy due to his experience with the adventure-seeking pirates. Whether she sees him as a brute or a gentle soul adapted to the ways of being a pirate is a dymanic I like to explore.
Here, I wanted to try several themes with the Reindeer Doctor hailing from a winter island with a pony that seems associated with the coming of spring. Fluttershy notes how much Chopper has grown during his stay in Equestria (he and his crew were seperated for two years and they went into training in their respective specialties to get strong, Chopper went through a major growth spurt), and taes a liking to his mature and stronger four-legged form.
Outside the Winter-Spring themes, had some butterflies on Fluttershy’s side and on Chopper’s side Cherry Blossoms petals (his particular theme).
Been meaning to color this piece sooner but was tied with work and personal matters. While it could have been faster and cleaner digitally painting this, I really enjoy experimenting with Copic and Prismacolor markers. Only issue was choosing the right colors to match and while it took longer than expected, I was still pleased with the outcome.

Funny how both creators of the two shows said there would be no romance, still found this two to be rather well matched.
