Fluttering High

Soulfire frowned. Something was wrong with the fire. He was helping his parents, what with all of the crazy things going on. As a chilled breeze had started blowing, he had decided to make a fire to heat up the house. But it wasn't working properly. His mother looked nervously over his shoulder. "What's wrong? Can you not make a fire?" She sounded on the verge of panic. With all the odd things happening, he didn't blame her. "It's not that it won't start", he said, "It's just harder to get it going, and once I do..." He searched for an apt description. "Imagine a pony lying on her side. That is a fire when it's out. You are trying to get her to stand up straight, which is a nice, average sized fire, but if she falls over on the other side, it is the fire when it's too big. Now imagine the pony with a giant weight strapped on her back. It's harder to push her up, and she falls to the other side much to easily once she is up. That is how the fire is behaving right now." His mother looked nervous at his example. "Why is it doing this?", she said. Soulfire glanced out the window. "I don't know."

Ah, what free time can do. I got really bored, so I threw this together. I had to use Word and then take a screenshot, because I'm too lazy to learn how to use Photoshop or anything else, really. SavethePonies.tiff

I didn't trace it. I had the original image, and I drew with that on the side for me to reference whenever I needed to. And the only reason it's mirror image was because I took the picture on my laptop's built in camera.

This is technically my second pony sketch that I did (the first one was one of Rarity from a MLP Valentine's Day card that another brony handed out to our German class. I don't count that one, because I lost it about five minutes after I drew it. I took an hour or so to get this one perfect. This is the image that I drew it from.

This is pretty good, but I would have no clue that it was Twilight if you hadn't said so. Adding color would make it more obvious, but then again, color is hard to do properly.

When you draw something, NEVER draw it with a cheap ball-point pen. It comes out looking like, well that. Otherwise, Luna is ok. A bit disproportionate, maybe, but ok.

Sorry to say, I'm not meaning to be mean, but nothing is in proportion, Rarity's tail is not a purple pig tail or a spring. It is elegantly curled, as is her mane. Also why does she have toes? Look on the rear hoof, farther away from the POV. It has TOES. She either has a beer belly or is 6 months pregnant, and appears to have five legs. Her mane is thin and skimpy, and her horn looks like it's snapped off. I couldn't even recognize Spike if he wasn't colored, and his head-scales seem to have turned into a clown wig. I'm sorry to say, you should try something that isn't art.

That is the coolest thing I've ever seen. I would pay $200 in a second for that! I should look into doing stained glass, it seems really fun!

I have been trying to resize it, but I don't know how. How do you resize a signature so that it's less than 600x100? As I said, I'm not experienced with this. Also, how do I put an image onto the signature properly? I can't figure it out.

It's the first thing I have ever done, and I have NO experience in image editing whatsoever. I just downloaded something called Seashore off of the internet, and figured it out, I guess.

I just spent a while putting together a signature to use on here. Can anybody give me an opinion on it? Any changes that I should make to it?

It almost looks like an overhead view of water channels, with the raised part in the foreground being a walkway, or something like that. I can imagine water flowing down through the lowered channels and surrounding the cutie mark. It also sort of reminds me of the door from X-Men, the circular one that spirals outwards. You could call it something like that, like "Rainbow Dash High Tech Door wallpaper". Sorry for the crappy idea, I'm really stumped for a good name for this. Maybe just "Rainbow Dash Tech Wallpaper". Keep it simple.
