MLP Two Of A Kind: Helping

Description

Having finished drawing the Mane Six from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic with their human Equestria Girls counterparts, I am now galloping on to the background characters. I start with the beloved Derpy Hooves, the most popular background pony of all. Here she is enjoying muffins with her counterpart Ditzi Hoover and daughter Dinky Doo. Like in the movies, Ditzi is really good at playing the musical saw and quite clumsy. She is also Dinky's foal-sitter when Derpy must work overtime at the post office. I add a short explanation of how Derpy became Dinky's mom--a traditional adoption story, along with why it's okay to call her Muffins per the closing credits of the episode "Slice of Life".

I really liked how Derpy was portrayed in that episode as lighthearted, helpful, easily distracted, clumsy and still quite well spoken. That has been the popular depiction of the muffin-loving mare in the fanfic world, and now the nice folks at Hasbro Studios and DHX made it official canon.
