My submission for NATG VIII: Day 11!

Today's prompt was "Draw a pony mingling / Draw a pony being a social butterfly." And I just could not keep myself away from the social "butterfly" pun. Or Fluttershy literally being social with butterflies, heheh. Her friends are clearly a small bit concered for her. In my head they were going off to a social event and then Fluttershy disapeared and was found socialising with the butterflies instead. Not that I blame her, butterflies are nice, they never have something nasty to say about you!
And if you couldn't tell, that one extra-detailed butterfly is supposed to be a Monarch Butterfly. They're my favourite kind of butterfly, so I couldn't help myself to put one in, heheh

So I thought I'd try my hoof at doing a background! And I think it came out pretty descently. I did start pretty early in the day with this one, since I wanted to try a background. Still only just finished near the deadline, though, haha! I think I draw a bit slow when it comes to digital; but I'm still making time, so it's fine
And I'm mostly happy overall as well. Surprisingly, or perhaps not, this actually has me feeling like I have little to say on it, haha! Though, drawing those manes from behind was a small bit tricky, and I feel Dashie's looks perhaps a little bit wrong, though I'm not sure. But it still looks alright, I reckon. And I nearly forgot all extra pony limbs (wings or horns) in this image! I had Fluttershy's wings in my sketch, but forgot to do it until last; and Rainbow's wings and Twilight's horn weren't even in my sketch at all! It was a good thing I spotted that I'd forgot them before I'd finished, haha xD
