May I Help You, Traveller ?

The shopkeeper pony from MLP FiM Season 3, Episode 5 'Magic Duel'.

This is mostly a trace but I had to improvise a bit on the legs since the frame cut them off to soon...

I did not check if somebody already did this - because last time I checked on a vector somebody had

This was fun!

Comments always welcome!

How is there barely any fan works with this guy? We saw one wall-eyed mare for a few seconds and we made her an Internet pop-culture phenomenon.

What does a pony truly need?


That is for you to decide.

You obtained an evil amulet!

I also wondered about this question - but then my mind started to come up with lame stereotypes and then I just gave up

Your improvisation can be better if we made the hooves flat on the ground, I think.

You could be right - but I'm not quite sure about it. It would depend a bit on how the pose is interpreted. When I traced this I was thinking that he is standing more diagonal - but the less rotation the more the legs would need to be on level... Other than that, the hind legs are traced (variants) of another pony I found in a very similar pose. The absence of a ground reference in the original scene makes it hard to find a good solution.

Your comment made me think a lot about this - but still no conclusion... I guess this will be helpful the next time I try to extend a frame.

When I look at his shop and also hearing the way how he present himself along with that amulet, it's time to call out the Shopkeeper from Dota 2.

Never played Dota (2)... I could only think of 'Gremlins' when that scene came on...

DOTA 2 is not even you yet, but you can watch the Shopkeeper Trailer on Youtube. Key in "Shopkeeper Dota 2" and then you'll get your result.

Looks like the Earth King.

Had to google 'Earth King' to check... well, that King seems to be designed rather stereotypical. I don't think that is bad in itself, but apart from that I see not much likeness. But then again, that is just my opinion...

Lol, really? Yeah really. But to me he's kind of like the Dota 2 shopkeeper.

Just realized, his head design is different from the typical male pony's, eh?

Yep - it's somewhat ... chunky ? I also have no idea how the glasses are supposed to stay where they are...

Thanks. Just saw, that you did the other pose - it's seems like a race on dA to be the first for a vector
