Can't remember if i posted these or not, to lazy to go back and check, LOL!

Recent pics of me from this weekend from an Anime-con held in my city

ok well this should be pretty interesting, lets give this a try

First off i have my character Kitsu (she is normally a fox girl) but seeing how i like the poines, i decided to give her a pony form as well

Purple-ish one is Sinthela

i designed this one to be in a contest on DA

whelp, there you have them

Ooh, nice drawings. Very futuristic.

Could you kindly draw a picture of my OC Fireball Rush in that style

If it's not too much trouble.. I mean, how long does it take to draw them? 

If you want to commission me to draw your OC, than head on over to the Commission thread

but currently I'm not taking anymore commissions until the 1st of April due to an Anime-con i gotta prep for

Pinkz, I believe he only does commissions (pay for it). Am I right?

Or did you mean that you wanted a commission?

Cause he isn't doing free requests.. Right?

shit is getting confusing..

that's right about it being a paid commission

I've got a big event coming up in about 2 weeks that i gotta prep for

so I'm currently in crunch mode

Duude, your style is awesome, and I'm not even that into anthro.

 

I guess it wouldn't hurt to try, you are taking requests, soo would you mind drawing my OC Sugar Rush?

 

(The eyes are green btw)

yeah i think i can hook you up with a commission tonight possibly (after i finish Colt's)

just head on over to the commission threads and look me up

they look absolutely fantastic, and one can also tell that you really put a lot of effort into making these; instant fave XD

hey thanks!

now here is the final step, and what the designs will eventually be used for

still got a few more to add in, but these will do for now

Middle one is from Ironman III (space suit)

Oooooo...daddy like. :3

 

These are awesome, dude. Wouldn't mind seeing Vinyl Scratch in one of them suits. :3

 

Another cool space suit design you might want to consider, since this reminds me of it, is this. You know, going along with the soft pin-up/cheesecake-y theme/style. *Fluttershy voice* If I may make a...humble suggestion, sir. 

I'll have some more done pretty soon with more popular characters

I just gotta find the time to pump out more

i think DJ Pon3 is next, Fluttershy will be down the road as well

commission in progress

good to see that so many people are indeed liking this style

I've got an anime-con coming up and need to put these on ties

as for a NMM one of these...maybe

i got a TON of work to knock out in the next few weeks, and not a lot of time

so we'll see

Wow! Very nice. I love them! The backgrounds are sort of StainedGlass-esque; I don't see that every day.

I love that style. Keep at it!

hey thanks!

trying to keep the Backgrounds simple-ish

so when i put these on my ties they won't overpower the paint job i have going on

Been drawing some mlp characters in my newest style

thought I'd stop by and here and show you guys

Of course if you like what you see than i can draw your characters like this too

just hit me up in the commission section

started doing this with my original characters, and then moved on to experiment with other characters

well here's what i have so far

so ENJOY!

I keep hearing people say that this season finaly was aweful, but honestly, I loved it. Sure it seemed rushed and the songs could have been a bit better, but overall it was just great. The animation and visuals were great, the alicornification was cool, and we got to see rainbow dash be happy with twilights new wings. I may be in the minority though. Not to say that you said that you didnt like it, this has just been on my mind.

oh i really really liked this Season finale

i loved all the new songs and can't wait for the remixes of all those songs!

I have faith that we will DEFINETLY see some of the previous villains return

Okay, I am super worried about something now that I have seen the episode. Is MLPFiM over now? Or is there going to be a season 4? Please tell me that it is not over. Im sure that this is making me sound dumb and desperate, but I really would like conformation, one way or the other.

Don't worry

Season 4 is confirmed with 26 episodes

and this Season Finale was pretty much a 3 parter according to Megan

here is your proof

Twilight was studying as princess Celestia's apprentice... wasn't that the reason?  Just like a President-elect trains for a year to be President of an organization.  So she achieved her dream job.... why so much hate?  geez 

Hell she was ONLY studying for this final test for what..3 seasons...oh wait, that IS a pretty long time

considering some shows don't even get a 2nd season

A WAR or a big FIGHT is coming

reasons why?

Celestia is hanging out with the Arabian horses (diff Country)

she releases Discord so she can use his magic in the future

and lets not forget that Chrysalis and Sombra are still out there

I mean come on...its pretty damn obvious..

So? That doesn't change the fact that this part was rushed beyond redemption. This part needed to be longer, adding more onto it isn't going to make up for that.

i loved the hell outta "this part" lol

that's tv for ya, you only get 22 min for a 30 min show

it wasn't bad at all, hell we got 7 NEW SONGS! (can't WAIT for the remixes!)

and Twilight didn't even FLY...that means she might have to LEARN to fly before lalalalalala...hey look i fly instantly!

this was better than S1's finale (not S2 though)

and was in no way the worst episode of the whole show (not by a long shot)

Tried watching it another time, and I'm liking the episode even less now. Mainly because of the songs. MLP's songs are usually good, but they need moderation. Throwing a ton of songs in an episode like this made it a trainwreck. A musical episode about something less important might work, but when it's going to change the show completely? NO. This episode needed another part, and more actual dialogue for it to even stand a chance of being good.

this episode has 2 OTHER PARTS to it

and this is "offical"

parts 2 and 3 will be the first 2 episodes of season 4 (probably October)

here is my proof

Ok, I did not like this one. First off, what was with all the songs? Like, 90% of the episode was pure singing. Second, the plot. Okay, I said I was neutral to the idea of alicorn princess Twilight, and would reserve judgement till I saw the episode. But now that I've seen it, I gotta say: what the actual fuck, Studio B, what the actual fuck? The issue Twilight's friends had began and was resolved WAY too fast, there's just nothing to say to that other than that it was rushed beyond what I would say is acceptable. It happened, then boom, it was over. Literally. What was the even the point? And then she becomes a princess, okay, I thought this could be done well, but they failed utterly to pull it off well. There was no logical reason given as to why she became princess, as it was never explained why they even needed a third princess (Celestia and Luna are still around), and she's not even royalty, the latter of which I could maybe overlook, but the former I certainly cannot.

 

 

In short, the issue of the episode was wrapped up way too fast, and there was absolutely no logical reason given as to why Twilight became princess, all she has done in ponyville does not justify it. So no, I did not like this episode, I'll even go so far as to say this is hands down the single worst episode of this entire show.

the songs were ALL really really good

and YES it was totally rushed, but hey, you only get 22 minutes

and you probably don't realize that this is a 3 parter btw

and yes, Twilight became a Alicorn BECAUSE she was able to figure out a spell that Starswirl could not (and yes its kinda corny)

I guess if your an Alicorn than your Royalty from what it seems

I liked this finale more than S1's but not as much as S2's

I loved ALL the MANY songs we got (i'm a HUGE FAN of the Brony Musicians, and can't wait to hear the potential remixes!) and they gave us 7 songs!

WOOT!

also for those of you who don't know this

this is a 3 Part, and the next 2 episodes in S4 will continue this out

So what's up with Celestia running around so much with the Arabian Horses all of a sudden?

we saw them 3 times i believe off and on in S3?

and Celestia needs Discord's help with something?...

A war is coming! lol

As far as Alicorn Twilight goes, I'm not mad or angry at all about this

I can't wait to see what happens next honestly

I mean c'mon we KNOW we are gonna see more Villains for S4 (with 26 MORE episodes!)

it would not surprise me to see Crysalis and Sombra once again

not really sure why you would lead off with the carrot thing...but ok

you girl looks pretty well done, just about everything on her is well done, with the exception of her upper body and navel being a tiny bit off

you got some skill

this doesn't look to be "mouse drawn" looks to much like graphite (coloring part)

now the Line art of it i can see sharp lines which would be done in program

and if you look on the very edge of the shoulder blade and the collar of her shirt, you can see white pixelation

but whatever, a drawing is a drawing

not to shabby of a drawing you have here

hair textures need some work, but besides that, its pretty good for what it is

can't wait to play minecraft again once i get in my new computer this week

everytime i tried to play on my other computer i got a msg saying that i didn't have enough memory to keep playing after it got SUPER LAGGY after 5 min in with friends

it even gave me the memory error msg on my laptop, and it's a i3 with 8 gigs of ram

ok I'll bite for this one

I participated in this thing on DA back when it was still new, lol

so here we go, My Wii kitty that I did a while back

I also did a Draeni piece, but that is NSFW

I think some of you are missing the point by quite a bit here

ok let me explain the simple version of why this happened

there are 2 main reasons

1. Game got to big and everyone knew about it thanks to EVO

2. regardless of "non-profit" its Hasbro's characters, and those characters are fighting in a semi-violent game

so a show geared at little girls, having a 2d super popular fighter..anyone else see why now?

its not that complicated

now then, you could probably KEEP the game "IF" you were to change the appearance and "names" of the characters

the game isn't totally a lost cause, but to continue onward you would have to do some MAJOR TWEAKING

ok kids just starting out with tablets, lol

your #1 rule is gonna be DON'T RAGE QUIT after 2 days

it takes a WHILE to get used to a tablet, think 3weeks --month

once you get the hang of it, you'll love it

Rule #2...don't be dumb and draw at 100% Opacity (brush strength)

your gonna want to sketch a LOT until you get the hang of things

so start with 20%-29% brush strength, that way the more you go over those original sketch lines, the darker it'll be

i like to start off looking like this for example

Rule #3 find a good Program to use

chances are you'll stick to what you get with your tablet (that or Sai or Gimp)

I've been using Photoshop 7 for 9+years

once you find the program that you want, than go youtube the hell outta it for pointers and tricks

You have no idea how relieved I am that you like this! It's only my second time using a tablet so it's a little shaky in places, so thank you very much! And you're welcome. <3

seeing how your still very new to using a tablet, I got some great advice for you that will help you out SO MUCH

for starters, DO NOT draw at max Opacity (brush strength) for your sketch lines go with 20-27 strenght

then make a whole new layer for your Line work and build up your Opacity to 100% for full strength

then for your actual coloring make a new layer

when shading try out using opacity from 20%-59% any more than that might be over kill, unless you do a single stroke

so your gonna look like this IF YOU HAVE ACCESS TO LAYERS

INK LAYER

Tail color (meant for mane and tail)

Body color (meant for Body coloring)

sketchy lines

by adding in a layer order system, this means that your won't color out of the lines pretty much, lol

using a tablet is really hard to get use to off the bat, it can be frustrating

you probably won't even out in skill that your as good with on paper for about 3-weeks to a month, lol

I think you'll even out though, your art is looking good for a 2nd time use!

keep at it
