Revised Ponysona: Poses, Layout Idea

A few days ago, I posted this blog showing off my revised ponysona with the preparation of making a layout for my video analysis.

 

Inspired by some other analysts like Voice of Reason, Silver-Quill, and Fiery Joker, I have some new poses.

 

First, the original, with one difference: the back leg is now behind all the fur.

Now, various three-quarter poses, some standing up and sitting down, including various poses of the front leg.

There are also variations of Wise Ox sitting down and turning toward the viewer. I have two versions of his face, one where it's a little wider, the other a little thinner. Let me know in the comments which face style you like the most.

Also, here is early development of the analysis layout, which has the character posing, the burning campfire, and the screen (in gray) above the flames.

(It's 720p HD, and the gray border is for vector presentation purposes.)

 

In the future, I will add a glow in the background, possibly a dark, reddish violet background with a glow reflecting the fire color. If you have any more suggestions of the background and fore, including compositional ideas, please let me know in the comments below. :)

This looks really nice. You chose a very unique species for your OC, and I like that. If I may though, there is one thing that I notice about him. I don't know if you intended for him to look more removed from the style of FiM, and if you did then feel free to disregard this, but he would look closer to fitting in with the show's art style if he had the large expressive eyes that just about all FiM characters share :)

No, you're right about the style. It's drawn to definitely fit close to FIM's. The approach for the eyes and nose comes from the buffaloes in Over a Barrel and Appleoosa's Most Wanted.

 

Here's an example:

It's all looking very good! Any idea when you'll start?

I don't know. I'm thinking of recording one of my written analysis (with some revisions) and then transfer it to video form with either iMovie or After Effects.

Hopefully, a week or so. I'll be posting the progress for the background soon.

Looks good, yo. Only critique I can think of is that you may want to consider giving him some varied facial expressions. I think it would make the poses more dynamic.

You're in luck, because I do have some examples of various facial expressions, albeit a bit more subtle. I'll be posting them in a few minutes. ;)
