More "fan art", if you will, for Ponydora Prancypants' Flight of the Alicorn

I love the character of Prince Khufu of Camelonia.

I know nothing of Eqyptian culture and I'm sure I've made some sort of horrible faux pas in drawing the headdress and scarf. I just half followed some google picture of a bedouin from the early 20th century. I grew up in an age where the Saturday morning cartoons had countries like The Socialist Democratic Federated Republic of Carbombya ([link]), so I'm doing the best I can to be sensitive.

I also think I might have put the eyepatch on the wrong side, but will claim artistic license since it'd lose a lot with his only eye facing away from the viewer.

I should have folded his ear down to make the hood read better...

Hahaha! I love it! I've never quite been able to figure out 100% what a "My Little Camel" looks like, but I'm sure it is something along these lines. Thank you so very much for drawing the very first pictorial representation of Prince Khufu ever! I know he doesn't have a hat or headdress in the story, but the scarf looks about right. I think this must be a young Khufu anyway, perhaps before he even lost his eye or suffered his other significant injury, so in that sense, it's spot on.

Awesome!
