Description Updated!

Anyway...this is the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy characters as ponies. It encompassed the main characters from the entire book series. So if you haven't read the books here's the list of characters:

The New Guide (the bird)
Colin (the round robot)
Zaphod Beeblebrox (the 2-headed, 3-armed pony)
Ford Prefect (the one with the towel)
Trillian / Tricia McMillan (the one in the uniform)
Arthur Dent (he always looks confused and in his bathrobe)
Marvin (the chronically depressed robot)
Random (Trillian and Arthur's daughter with the tv in her wrist)

Materials used: Colored Pencil, Pigma Pen, white paint pen 8.5" x 11" cardstock

My favorite book! I just played the audio book version of it yesterday while I worked on my stuff for the Fair. Brilliant!

You know, it would be funnier if the depressed robot was a dragon with a bigger head and no mouth instead of a pony.

Perhaps, but I drew this a long time ago, before ponies had a TV show again.

Lol! If you count that he was "Q" on Star Trek NG. I think he was type cast into that role. Nah, I thought you meant Spike.

Lol, I couldn't think of anyone else that would draw them. They're some minor characters, but I thought they stood out on their own. Thanks.

i know. if that had been possible, they would have had to make a movie for each of the parts of the book.

There's one thing I can't understand,
Why do Trillian and Arthur have a daughter?

xayide2 In reply to ChrisTheBlue [2013-03-23 14:24:44 +0000 UTC]

It's in the book series, I don't remember which one, but it's later in the story. Arthur is an almost unwilling participant in that matter.

Thanks! I have a copy of that one sitting on my desk at work. The last book Adams wrote or the one that Eoin Colfer finished?

RoyGBiv-MLP In reply to xayide2 [2011-09-22 04:32:53 +0000 UTC]

The one Eoin Colfer finished. It just was odd, and not really in the HGttG way...

Anyway, your pic is just awesome

Lol, thanks. It's all my ex boyfriend's fault for making me read that book series. I love those books and the movie too.

The pic makes a really good desktop wallpaper, lol.

Thanks for the fave too.

aratithiliel In reply to xayide2 [2005-05-17 03:44:23 +0000 UTC]

^__^ Yes, the movie was excellent. Dispite the fact that the critics hated it. *sighs* Douglas's humor doesnt' sit well with them, obviously. I suppose you wouldn't get all of his humor unless you read the books before the movie - since you cant' cram all that information into one movie. They did, however leave opening for a sequel it seems. ^___^

Oh really? Haha.When I'm back on my PC i'll put it up for sure. It's just too great.

^^ No problem

Wonderful! I've never read the series but saw the movie last night. I particularly like Marvin in your drawing. He'd make an interesting custom.

xayide2 In reply to spottedslug [2005-04-30 21:10:32 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I keep thinking of a Blossom or a Snuzzle would be the perfect pony to do that with Marvin. Heads down and kinda stiff, lol.

Wow...! *shakes head* Your skills with colouring pencils never cease to amaze me! This is no exception, it looks FANTASTIC! Each character has their own individual personality/flair. It looks like you've spent a lot of time and effort on this and it's really paid off! Great job!

Thanks! *sheepish grin* Yeah, I think I spent a couple months on this one, on and off. Lots of other stuff going on at the same time. Can't wait to see the movie now, I wanna go tonight.
