My Little Orkan

ALL ABOARD THE BANDWAGON! Okay, actually I think I had this in my head long before Friendship Is Magic hit the airwaves and took the interweb by storm, but now I've finally gotten around to doing it, and classic-style pony bases are hard to come by... so what? It'd be cute either way. It's Mork from Ork as a holy-crap-adorable pony, what more do you want?

I guess I chose to do this now because it was really quick and easy to do, and I'm in the middle of doing other things... but it turned out pretty much the way I wanted it to. A couple of small problems I ran into were the Cutie Mark (the silver Orkan triangle since his coat matches his canon spacesuit)... I thought it looked a bit too dull, so a put a small rainbow outline around it (thus also getting a reference to the iconic rainbow suspenders... it's not like he could actually wear those here. Ponies don't wear pants, that's just silly). Second problem: The tail. I had to make really sure it didn't look like crap. In both meanings of the word. After all, the tail had to match the curtains.

(And yes, I realized too late that this is pretty much a female pony base... whatever, HE turned out too adorable to go out and find the "proper" base.)

Come to think of it, Twilight Sparkle's letters to Princess Celestia at the end are kinda like Mork's reports to Orson... except there's no rapid-fire improv.

And now here's how I think Mork & Mindy characters would react to MLP:FiM : Mork would love it for the bright colors and the humor (ar ar!); Mindy would love it for being a funny, intelligent re-imagining of a classic... and Exidor would be the creepy brony who calls Pinkie Pie his "waifu". You know that last part's definitely true.
