Pony Project 24: Flight Risk — Description

I can't believe I never drew her more than once, or named her??? Anyways when I'm stressed I draw ponies, get ready for me to draw more ponies ^^"
Flight Risk is a witchy pony and a natural alicorn! Something about batpony and unicorn parents led to her being an anomalous hybrid, though not entirely unheard of in this mlp AU. She is no princess certainly, but puts her combined abilities to good use. She is a specialty potionmaker who does her own deliveries! She travels for her ingredients and uses magic to boost her flight speed so she has one of the fastest delivery businesses in Equestria. She occasionally works with Watermelon Moon and Midnight Rodeo for the harder to get ingredients, and sometimes brings them new plants and ingredients to try and grow, the three of them get on pretty well, despite Flight's flightiness and Midnight's grumpy demeanor. Flight is easygoing, not a particularly dominating presence in a room but friendly and chatty and eager to open up. She does have a tendency to overshare and overstep in social situations, but she really just is a bit awkward from being isolated most of the time.
Design wise the biggest change is her being a bat pony! I don't have enough bat ponies in my AU right now and with the cape her original design had I felt like it would really suit her! I decided to colorpick off of the original traditional art because I thought the softer tones would work really well, but I did up the saturation on the green highlights. I removed the red from her design to simplify her color palette, then just stylized her hair! I am really happy with her wild broom shaped mane. She came out so cute, so happy with how she looks!
