Names- Crimson Tide and Dixie Cottontail  
Series- United Ponies of America  
State- Alabama  
Media- Ink and Prismacolored Pencils
 
I am going to be doing a new series honoring the USA. This will include all 50 states, plus the country itself. It will be done in a particular order. You might have already guessed what order I am going in lol. I wanted to be fair, so I decided to do both a stallion and mare for each state, plus it’s more fun that way.
 
Crimson Tide represents the University of Alabama and the name itself is their nickname. When I first thought of Alabama, I immediately thought of their state university due to their sports. Not to mention that the state flag has red and white on it.
 
Dixie Cottontail represents several aspects of Alabama. First off her name is inspired by Alabama’s biggest crop, Cotton, and its nickname, “The Heart of Dixie”. Her color scheme and design is inspired by the state bird, the Yellowhammer and cotton. Personally this is one of my fav OC designs, she’s so cute.
 
So to those who are from Alabama or live there, I hope these two Ponies represent ya’ll well.
