These things keep getting out of hand! Last year, I was blown away by the 603 OCs submitted to the 2018 collab, and thought that this year we’d get 700, maybe 750. But instead, we ended up with an amazingly high number that I never thought I would see one of these community collaborations reach – 1022 characters drawn by 502 artists!

That’s right, over a thousand ponies in a single image! That number blew me away! And while such a high number did prove to be challenging (and I cannot apologize enough for how long this took to finish), I want to give a sincere thank you to every person who participated, submitted their OC, drew OCs for other people, and helped spread the word! Thank you so much <3

Thank you everyone who participated, and I hope to see you all back next year for the 2020 Community Collab!
