Well after 2 - 3 hours (I don't time myself) of work, I ponified Kurt Cobain.
Most of you should know who Kurt Cobain is, but for those of you who don't, Kurt Cobain was the lead singer and guitarist for the popular grunge band, Nirvana.
I have been listening to Nirvana again, and I decided to ponify Kurt, for some bizzare reason.
It was about time I made some form of pony art, and what better subject than Kurt Cobain?
Well, I hope you like it, and please leave feedback.
so i made dis beautiful lil pone bcus flooters is adorabl
i gues u cn cal her qtshy

Feedback is appreciated.
(Apologies if the way I typed the majority of this is annoying to you, I am simply typing like this because I feel like my avatar forces me to do so. A little difficult to explain. El que entendió, entendió.)
Some people such as myself, listen to music while creating works of art, whether it be drawing, or writing.
There is a specific type of music which can enhance your creative flow, or train of thought.
After awhile of going around reading articles, I encountered one about this subject.
...and Specialists from the fields of music, neuroscience, psychology, and neurology describe advances in understanding the complex relationship between music and the brain. Intended for psychologists and neuroscientists, contributions address the origins of music, the musical mind, the neurons of music, musical brain substrates, musical expertise and brain plasticity, and the relation of music to other cognitive domains.
Listening to, in particular, classical and instrumental music, has recently been thought to enhance performance on cognitive tests. Contributors to this volume take a closer look at this assertion and their findings indicate that listening to any music that is personally enjoyable has positive effects on cognition. In addition, the use of music to enhance memory is explored and research suggests that musical recitation enhances the coding of information by activating neural networks in a more united and thus more optimal fashion.
-Source-ScienceDaily (June 22, 2006)
As mentioned in the article, classical and instrumental music is the most optimal 'genre' of music to listen to while creating forms of art.
In the same article, the author shared his own playlist of music for drawing.
I will share it in this thread.

My playlist contains 71 songs, and lasts 5.9 hours.
Feel free to share your own songs/playlists that you use when you are creating artworks.
Think of it as one big community playlist.
So remember, Instrumental and Classical (Chill or Relaxing, for that matter) music are optimal.
After 3 hours of work, and a slight scare of almost crashing, I came up with this.
I'm sure that a large amount of you are aware of who/what is this, but for you people who don't, this is a drawing of The Scout, a playable character in the popular multiplayer game, Team Fortress 2.
Well, I hope you like it and please leave feed back!
