Know When to Fold 'Emby *harwicks-art

Fan Art / Cartoons & Comics / Digital / Movies & TV

Why should dogs get all of the poker related fine art?

I have to wonder where Twilight gets her money. I suppose being the town librarian pays something, but then again she's already getting free living space there. Fluttershy's income is also a mystery, but perhaps her little animal commune is self-sufficient. Or maybe Angel just helps her rake it in on Poker Night.

As for how the non-unicorns hold the cards, I'm going with "sticky hooves"... which, come to think of it, would be a pretty good name for a pick-pocket pony.

I obviously need more sleep.

UPDATED 12/17/2011:

Wow. Okay, so apparently people like this one. I've gone back and made some minor touch ups to it (and yes, I've added hints of the missing Cutie Marks... no wonder the poor CMC's obsess over them, what with the way people react when they're not apparent.) Perhaps doing corrections now is closing the barn door after 27,000 horses have gone through, but what the hell.

I've also changed the download to the full sized work image, which was 2x the resolution of what was available before. I warn you, if you think the artwork looks particularly pretty or meticulously done, prepare to have your illusions shattered by a close look. I have no hesitation to cut and paste and push pixels around like they were fingerpaints... and again, finishing this one was a rush job to get it out the door before the holidays, so there's not much of a final polish on it.

Not that there ever is on my fan stuff... It's all done in good fun. I just feel like I suddenly have some kind of reputation to live up to. The comments and response so far have been wonderful, but what people are really reacting to are the characters themselves, and all credit for them goes to Lauren Faust and Studio B for their work on the show.

As always, if you're looking to ask me for permission to use this artwork in a non-commercial way, feel free and make something awesome with it, but know that I neither created nor own the characters. And, of course, please don't take credit for my work. It's just not a nice thing to do.

Took me a while to notice but Dashie you are such a cheater! That card is so slyly hidden! No wonder she looks so confident!

I've been looking for the original owner of this sense I became a Brony. I found it when I was googling pics of MLP. I've had it as my computer desktop background ever sense I found it. BTW it was back in August or September of 2012 (I cant remember) around the time MLP became available on Netflix.
I've given you a watch, favorite it and now I can see your Awesome work all the time.
Very Nice Stuff!!!

This is awesome and strange at the same time

Looks like Rarity's out of funds as she's non too pleased.
Dashie's taking them to the cleaners as usual.
Twilight's almost bust and is relying on a textbook to bail her out and Spike looks thrilled.
Applejack thinks something's up with Dash, or maybe that's her poker face or a face of jealousy.
Pinkie is being Pinkie even though she looks like she's out of bits too.
And Fluttershy can't seem to play the game without Angel's "assistance."

That's what I see in this picture.

Hey! Rainbow Dash is cheating!

~Brush-Sweep May 12, 2013 New member

Awesome, I really like it!!!

~AppleJack79 May 11, 2013 New member

I live Pinkie Pie's face!

~KernelCobb May 5, 2013

I've loved this image for as long as I've been apart of the fandom, and I never knew who was responsible for it! I'm so glad I found your page! I love your work!

~MarissaSunshine May 3, 2013 Hobbyist Filmographer

I adore all the detail in this picture.
