Presenting for the first time on the interwebs, the result of a Hobby Lobby gift card and way too much Doctor Whooves and Assistant: Derpy Hooves!

Also I figured out tumblr! Here's my blog: http://ponyvarietyshow.tumblr.com/

 

So there's that. Her right wing needs work, it won't even stay on. But lately I've been really harsh to myself about any form of art. I think it's because I'm just frustrated. I worked hard on my fanfic, Loyalty of Sand, and I've submitted it three times and Equestria Daily doesn't like it. I know, it's because it needs work, but overall I'm fed up. It's just that after this last rejection my frustration has been leaking to all the things I work on and I'm being too much of a perfectionist. Everything I do is wrong.

If you'd like some tips: Her ears need to be stitched separately from her head, or it will end up looking really weird. You see how in the pic in the bottom right corner, the head is a sphere with features, and the ears are very thin and flat? If you include the ears while cutting out the head, you will deform the sphere so that her ears are really fat. The mane should be alright, as most pony plushies do different things and they all end up looking okay.

 

It looks pretty okay, just maybe try fixing the head.

She's cute ! (no constructive criticism cause I know nothing about those lol)

 

And don't search feel frustrated if EqD didn't like your fanfic, pratice your art for yourself, move on and keep doing what pleases you.

I understand your disappointment, but you shouldn't hold EQD's acceptance of your fanfic as a standard of quality. I've never even seen their website save a few rare occasions, yet I believe your fanfic could be just as, if not more,  entertaining as one that EQD accepted. If you believe that your story has value, you should continue to refine it, even if only for the sake of improving your writing skills. :)
