A goofy, floofy animation of Paprika from Thems Fightin Herds.
A ridiculous animation idea that came to mind as I was drawing Paprika for the first time yesterday.
I don't really plan to take it beyond this rough animation stage, but it still cracks me up as it is.

Hey, this looks pretty cool! Could be cleaned up just a bit but what do I know I'm a messy artist. Keep it up!

Yeah, this is one I'd like to refine more but I'm waiting till I feel in the mood.

I have had bad results trying to revisit images in the past.

Just hoping I don't forget to revisit it haha.

Was weirdly thinking of Tamagotchis for some reason, was curious what resolution they displayed.
Ended up feeling animate'ish so I tried to scale Twilight down as much as I could and still have a
recognizable, 2 color, profile view sprite. 

30x48 was the resolution of an old Tamagotchi by the way; I counted.

There are 4 little animations

- Idle Squats.

- Ear Flick.

- Tail Flick.

- Magic Specks.

- Blink Squats (5 If you wanna count that, I don't.)

Was gonna do a wing animation too but my interest was
fading so I stopped with what we have here (For now at least).

This image is actually scaled up 1000% (10x) as I was designing as if for a Tanagotchi.

Original resolution was 19x24

Part of the same image/image set as the Rarity sketch I posted the other day.

I'm loving the style!

 

I don't know squat about drawing ponies lol, I know more about drawing humans. Either way, I think the left eye could be raised a bit to make the eyes more level. For me and my fancy human drawing "skills", I feel like it would make more visual sense if you raised that eye. 

 

Like I said though, don't know squat. You'd have to play around with it!

Haha, yeah, it hadn't occurred to me at the time how wonky that eye was.

But as I was going back for cleanup I noticed and mostly fixed it.

I'll probably go back and do another run on cleanup tomorrow to find more issues like that.

Thanks!!

Part of a bigger sketch with the mane six together, gonna clean and color it a bit later.

I think its good. You already have a unique and identifiable style, which is great.

The line work may benefit with being thinned some, or perhaps some more 'hard'

variation. I quite like the nose/mouth area, good use of thin and thick lines.

I'd say i'm not a fan of Twi's hair shading, partially cause it's only on the hair.

That said I don't think that kind of shading would best suit your style I honestly

think flat color would look just fine; possibly cel shading. But as it is, I wouldn't 

even call that a complaint, barely a nit-pick. Just refine what you already got.

Also, as previously mentioned, the horn. But honestly I like it. Occasionally

oversize body parts are quite humorous. Same goes for undersized bits XD

Of course, and as it always is with art, my opinions are massively subjective.

Wow. She looks serious..

It's a serious crime.  :awuh:

You can not resist the dumb cuteness you are about to behold.

As usual, great work! I'm really digging the line work and shading.

Thanks, was trying to keep it to the basics on this one. I tend to go overboard and spend hours on images that probably only deserved 30 mins haha.

I actually did more on this the I meant to and cause I went this far I think I shoulda darkened and highlited the eyelid before calling it quitski.

Not much to say, AJ chilling AJ style.

Was just gonna sketch this idea out; but a lil over 4 hours later and here we are.

She looks surprised n.n 

I bet she was. I hadn't done any fanart of anything in like a month or more. Haha.

:-o "What do you mean your drawing me today? I'm busy!"

Had this idea and was just sketchin around.

Hey, that's awesome! Keep it up

its cute and awesome keep on keepin on

Thank you both. 

Thanks. I like to try different things. =P

Just goofin around with this.

It's so cool that you did this! Vinyl art is so cool

Thanks, they are quite fun to make too.

Hey, that looks pretty nice. Very minimalist, but that much for the better.

 

{wonders about making a request, but figures others would probably have better ideas}

Go ahead, requesting doesn't mean I do it. But I've only been offered 2 vague ideas since posting this.

Oh that is so cool! I have a soft spot for Vinyl Decals and Stencil art ^w^

Thanks!

I haven't worked with stencils or anything yet, but they have been on my list of "Stuff to try out" for a while.

First and foremost, this OC is not mine, I'm actually not 100% sure who it belongs to on these forums, But I know his name is Tihan. I was commissioned to make this decal back in December for the Secret Santa event and Havn't really been able to post the image around till recently. So if Tihan is yours or you know whos he belongs to, Hey! I made this for you! 

Anyway, it was fun to make and I've been wanting to show it off for a while now, so here it is.

The decal, if I recall right, is about 4 inches tall, and is made up of 5 colors of layered vinyl.

There is transfer tape applied on top which is what is giving it the texture you see here.

I have been having a really difficult time making any fanart recently, it's like that part of my brain has entirely stalled out. Anyway, done did a Trixie tonight.

Any little requests, perhaps to help jog me back into things?

Did black and white test prints of a few of the cards today to check sizing and proportions of things. 

Printed on heavy weight paper and laminated so they feel pretty high quality for prototypes.

At this point, I'm 95% sure about what cards will be in the 108 card deck will be as well as their functions. Now its mostly just art and balancing a few bits out.

    Hi, some of you may know me already, but to those that don't I occasionally do various art bits for Poniverse and am a full-time university student in illustration and visual communication.

I've been developing a table-top card game for awhile now and am nearly at a point in which I can test the game with outside peoples. The game is called "Tribute to the Overlord". This project has a few goals: To be a refined piece for my personal portfolio, Test myself in finishing such a comprehensive project, and get a tiny foothold in tabletop game development (I have other ideas I'd like to develop one day).

"You and your demonic friends must appease your Overlord by offering tribute every day. You’re all sick of being on the bottom and agree to start collecting loot so that you can takeover the Overlord's position. Unfortunately, none of you can agree on who the next Overlord should be. Amass more loot then everyone else in order to overthrow the Overlord and take your rightful place on top. But getting greedy risks the rage of the current Overlord, who won’t go easy on any of you. So build your stash in secret, back-stab your friends and give as little as you can manage to the Overlord to stay out of trouble."

Tribute to the Overlord is a bit of a deck building card game that pits players against each other and a common board enemy. There are 5 rounds; the situation and cards to deal with it change every turn. There are various strategies implemented to combat total RNG but the game should be able to be picked up and learned in half an hour or less. The game is targeted at player groups of about 4 or 5 but can physically be played with groups ranging from 2-6. Target age group is early 20's to early 30's but could be played comfortably ages 12+.

The past few months I have been working on this on and off in between personal projects and working side jobs, school stuff and the occasional Poniverse thing. Most of the focus has been on the rules and gameplay up to this point. Now I'm dividing my time between game balancing and art. 

Now I'm looking for candidates to play-test this game and give feedback, help balance and find game loop-holes I may have missed. I'll be shipping out around 10 prototype copies of this game sometime in February (or thereabouts depending on how the next school semester fairs for me). These copies will be shipped out free to those living in the US. I currently will not be shipping elsewhere; but if you fill out the provided form you'll be sent updates on the game and be notified if I get an international thing going. I'm shipping these out for free in return for feedback, if you can't or don't plan on proving feedback or testing it for problems, don't bother signing up.

If your interested in signing up to get a free alpha copy and helping this game become complete in it's design; please fill out this form here. Please note that this is NOT first come first serve, I'll be semi-selectively choosing candidates to test various bits. Also, as stated this is an ALPHA where the focus so far has been primarily on gameplay and functionality, the art is mostly wip or in a placeholder state right now. It is quite likely that it will be in a similar state when these copies are shipped as well. Meaning it may not be a pretty game, but it'll work.

The Beta phase of the game is a ways off, but will have nearly completed art and enforce the necessary updates found in the alpha. If you agree to get updates on the form above then you may get sent a Beta copy. So don't worry if you arn't offered an Alpha.

Some card design teasers. 

If you have follow-up questions, feel free to ask. 

Practice. Cliche but true.

Your main 'flaw' right now is lack of confidence in your strokes.

For comparison, this was my first time using my first tablet.

All I made was a mess. So keep it up
