I was never very satisfied with the first version of Catmint, my MLP character. Now that I've finally gotten the style from the show down pat, I took another shot at it. This time, I'm happy. EDIT Feb 2013: Updated again. I'd been drawing Catmint as a unicorn for some time now just never gto around to updating her reference sheet. So now here's the current version!

Catmint's favorite pastimes are drawing animals and caring for her kitty friends. Her passion is rescuing lost kitties and finding loving new homes for them, hence the feline cutie mark. The garden around her house is planted with various species of the catmint plant, which is fragrant and produces lovely purple and blue flowers, and can be dried into catnip.

She spends a lot of time with her pony friends Vox, a Clydesdale, and Moon Dust, a Pegasus pony, and her precocious pet kitten, Chocolate Chip (Chip for short).

As far as magic goes, Catmint has never been very good at it. She can "blink" (transportation spell) for short distances and lift objects, but that's pretty much it. Her magic has a pink or purple glow to it. The lack of her magical ability is a source of disappointment and inner turmoil for her, and causes her some self-esteem issues.
