  1. Yeah, I can. What kind of pose are you interested in?
  2. @Princess Lulu <3~ I'm not sure what I can improve really. Both areas seem proportionate and, well, done as they should be. Maybe the head is a bit too large. So can you point out what exactly didn't work? @VoltWrecker I can try, yeah. If you give me pose reference (can be even a still from some film), clothes description and tell/show their desired figure, I'll give it a shot.
  3. @Princess Lulu <3~ here's what I was able to come up with. Does it look okay, or you'd want me to try again?
  4. [latest episode spoiler]

     

    Sunburst's mom has one hell of a cool character design. And custom facial animations too!

  5. The game was a bit of a dud, but No Man's Sky sure had some pretty cool views. Not to mention all those pretty crysssssstals. I might reinstall, just to see what changed since launch.

      I am actually looking forward to the Xbox One release. Apparently they have been supporting it and trying to make it a lot better. not sure how successful that venture has been, but I give them credit for that at least, for what it is worth.

      I plan to reinstall my PC version and see what happens.

  6. This surely can be arranged, yes. I've actually done this before.
  7. @SummerHaven The lavender mare nodded in agreement as the newcomer hid her pet, then glanced outside the window one more time before being recalled to the conversation by Frenzy speaking up. She made a slightly puzzled expression at that peculiar compliment. "I... guess you're right." Clarity casually observed the inside of the train car, and the newcomer mare who consulted her pass to see where she's supposed to sit. She smirked at the news that the place was right across them, and shook her head. "Nah it's completely fine. Besides, it's a squirell, not a dragon! What can come wrong, right?" There was some commotion outside and thick clouds of steam shot from the train every once in awhile ,so Clarity naturally shifted her attention to the window and carefully observed what was happenning. Or what she could see from her spot at least... Soon enough the train started to roll off the station, and Clarity couldn't help but smile as her first grand adventure began. The train was slowly rolling towards the city walls, surrounded by familliar Canterlot views. Clarity's ear perked up when the matter of Frenzy's scroll was brought up. She shifted her attention to the yellow unicorn and shrugged. "Hey, we're not on a seecret mission from the Princess herself, amirite? Just to sort out a teensy problem." - she snorted at "teensy", since it seemed funny, and looked sheepishly at the mare across the table. "We may need to use it to calm an animal, if other options fail. But whoever penned it, made sure to make it look as complicated as it can be..." With the corner of her eye, Clarity saw thatthey cleared out of Canterlot proper and were hugging the steep slopes of the mountain, before suddenly everything went dark for a moment. Slightly intrigued, she immefdiately lit her horn but the lights came up just a moment later. By the look of it, they just entered a tunnel. She poofed at her horn and released the magic nnchalantly, then shrugged. "welp, no more sightseeing for now so I may as well join the magic crash course. Just... don't aim at me when you concentrate, aye Frenzy?" - She prodded her companion with an elbow, all too aware that soon enough she may embarass herself with her meager magical ability.
  8. Not being able to draw soething, even though I have rerefence right in front of me is so frustrating. Notto mention it starts to make me question what and why in the first place I even want to draw.

  9. @Princess Lulu <3~ the sitting pose is a major challenge for me, for some reason, and I just can't make it look right no matter what i try. Do you have any other pose you'd like me to draw?
  10. @Pvt. Cerberus Like with most things in life, I had this great idea and reality had other plans. So here's what I could put on paper, hope it's enough for your purpose.
  11. @Princess Lulu <3~ Yeah, can be done. Is she supposed to look happy or excited to match the extended wings? Also, full or partial body? Do you want any shading to the inked lineart?
  12. @NightmareLuna1996 I have completed your request: @Sky Gamer And yours too!
  13. Grrr I hate it how my style works in some poses and then completely doesn't in others. It's almost like I wanted to incorporate features which are contradicting or plain bad looking when added up, rather than shown separately. Like the slightly enlongated muzzle I so admire in other people's art, and the overall sleek and lean figure of m ponies. Both suddenly don't work when I stray from beaten poses and still expressions.

  14. @SummerHaven "Thanks!" The mare grinned and took a seat by the window, put the redundant pillow against the train car's wall, and made herself comfortable, starting from unbutonning her "cool" coat and putting the hat on her lap. Clarity glanced through the window but the boarding platforms weren't especially appealing, so she directed her attention to the inside of their assigned train car. Once Frenzy took the scroll to read, Clarity leaned over and chipped in: "I took a glance over at it back home and... it's not exactly entry level magic, you know. Makes me kinda nervous to use it, it looks easy to mess up and I have nooo idea what would happen then..." - she lowered her voice by the end of the sentence, almost as if afraid to entertain the possibility out loud, and offered an unsure smile. "But maybe you'll heve it easier with the scroll?" A sudden movement and glow of magic in the corner of the lavender unicorn's eye made her galnce that way, just in time to see a frustrated squirell levitating away from her. Wait, a squirell?! The unicorn blinked with surprise and located the source of magic that held the critter - another unicorn mare who approached and started to apologise for it. Clarity raised an eyebrow and mused aloud: "A pet squirell? Now that's new. It's not some new Canterlot fad I hope? I-I mean, they don't seem to be too well suited to be kept at home and all... Ahem, nevermind, it's a cute squirell, uh huh. And it's not like any harm was done so, it's fine, right Frenzy?" - she looked at her companion for approval and support maybe, as her foreleg combed her long mane over her head again, so now the mane curtain was hanging to the left, towards the window. Clarity regained her composure, after the slightly awkward monologue she just did, and slightly leaned towards the newcomer, then said confidentially: "I bet you already know that, but the conductors aren't too keen on pets on board, especially roaming loose. So I'd advise keeping your pal hidden when they show up, alright? Why waste time on pointless arguments, correct?"
  15. Looking at other people's art, especially some really cool stuff like from Yavkolev-Vad, just to name one artist I really like, has a side effect - the blank sheet of paper starts to look really intimidating, you know. Knowing that my stuff will not turn out "good enough" for my heightened sense of whatever that means...

      Wish I could get rid of this pesky OCD -- start my own artwork.

      I have mild OCPD, or so I think. I'm just sorta not normal in some areas but I digress. So, it's hard to stop comparing to where I want to be and just enjoy where I am now.

  16. It appears that my request shop has gained 2 new features, namely ink wash shading and... experimental no-refunds anthro drawings, because they will probably suck at first.

      You're halfway there to humans. :P

      I will, once I get a hang of anthros. That's the exact reason why I bother with them - the same look, but sans the tricky, human face. And uguligrade types makes it a little bit easier on the feet too.

  17. @Pvt. Cerberus I guess we'll see whether I am able to draw one, but I am willing to give it a shot, yeah. And as far as crediting for the inks goes, I suppose linking my profile here would do nicely, since I do not have a DA account. Now straight to business - are you interested in her having any unique features compared to the three sirens we know from the show? Does she also have that gem on her chest like them? Also, clouds don't look too good when outlined with ink, so I reckon it would be safer to leave the background blank in case you'd like to give her some actual background later on. Oh, and I have a small announcement - since my experiments with ink wash are coming along with okay-ish results, I suppose I could offer this method for shading and adding tefture for drawings. However, I would need to be informed if someone wants that method to be used since it requires different paper that I usually work on. Also, keep in mind that this technique is inherently unpredictable unless the artist has enough experience with it, so, some will look better then others. And the second announcement is, that I am open to drawing antros, but only in really simple poses, preferably busts/portraits since I am learning to draw them. Which means, don't expect a masterpiece if you ask for anthro, but I guess it's a good idea to open up for them too, for the added practice.
  18. I just love to look at other artists sketches, lineart and black&white finished pieces, rather then colored works. Because that way, I can try to figure out how they made certain things work they way they intended, and learn a thing or two for my own inks. Like, recently, I saw a new and intriguing way to draw pony eyes, and I really, really want to try it out sometime.

  19. @SmokeSong I have finally finished your request. Because I had nly text for reference, I am afraid some aspects may have turned out slightly off from the way you imagine her, but it's a start:
  20. Judging from my job interviews from today, I think I'm not really cut to be an employee in a worldwide corporation. I know it's good money there but, the atmosphere is just... not really for me. Thankfully I already have a job so I can afford being picky like that.

  21. @SummerHaven Clarity smirked friendly and nodded at her companion as she finished summing up her own lack of travelling experience. "Oh I'm sure we'll manage to get from one place to another it's just..." The mechanical voice interrupted her trail of thought as the unicorn instinctively looked at the nearest lourspeaker with a slight wince and pulled back ears - the sound it made was making was uncomfortable, but nothing but inaudible. Frenzy was already on her hooves when it dawned to Clarity that it was ime to get up and move. She slid off the banch and stood up, then stretched her back a little and decided to use her magic to lift the sadlebags onto her back. She secured the strap around her barrel and tugged a little to make sure it was sitting there tightly, ahen levitated her own ticket from an inside pocket in her coat. Thus ready, she shook her head a little at Frenzy: "Nah, I'm cool. Let's get on that train then, shall we?" They walked to the small line of ponies that also awaited the train. The boarding assistant was pacing lazily as everypony awaited for the train to roll onto the platform. And there it came, hissing out steam and rumbling loudly, the locomotive slowly rolled down the tracks next to the platform, dragging six cars behind it. As it came to full stop and let out one last cloud of steam, the boarding assistant came to life and started to check out tickets and pointing at the relevant sars for the passengers to board. Clarity knew they were travelling in sexond class, so, no luxuries, but still, the train looked elegant enough fro the outside. Now that the steam clouds dissipated at least. She overed the ticket to the assistant and he stamped it for validation, then read the seat numbers and pointed the two mares to the second car. "Alrighty then, let's get this show on the road then, eh?" - Clarity asked with a chuckle as they boarded the train and went to their seats. She had some issues with securing her luggage on the shelf above, however. Only after taking the small pillow off the saddlebas did they fit inside the cavity. She held it idly in her magic grasp and looked at the window, then at Frenzy. "Well, I guess I just won an extra pillow... oh and, uhh... who gets t sit by the wondow?" She looked rather torn between politeness and just wanting to put her forehead against the glass and look outside the whole time.
  22. @Sky Gamer It's quite alright, I'll just make something rather generic looking as far as poses are concerned, I guess.
  23. @Sky Gamer Sure, I can draw something for you but I would really appreciate any pointers, like personality or hobby I may relate to while drawing. I want to make something meaningful for the character.
  24. Uh huh, I'll need to try and actually schedule some time for drawing, since it gets off my to-do lists the moment I find myself with even a little less free time. To think how good would I be if I made it a priority from the start...

  25. @SummerHaven The unicorn heard a loud voice from the side and her ears perked. As she turned to see who was coming towards her in such a hurry, Clarity recognised Frenzy Bolt in an instant, and smiled pleasantly. "Nah, it's okay, one reason why we gave ourselves some time before the train arrives, am I right?" She tossed the empty coffee cup int o the nearby bin with her magic, and took the hat with it instead, and donned it on her head. "Adventury, eh? Took me weeks to get the right look! Oh, and, you did take your ticket, right? Just asking to be sure, you know." She took a glance at her companion's luggage, and then compared it with hers. Squinting a bit in thought, she mused aloud: "Hmm, neither of us brought a whole trailer, so that's a good start. But I just can't help but feel I forgot about something... you have it he same? I mean, I never teally travelled too far before and uhh... Yeah, lack of experience, I guess. I took a camping manual though,m in case we actually have to look for that thing all over the forest." She shuddered slightly at the thought, but regained her composure and looked at Frenzy, smiling sheepishly. "So... are you more experienced in this whole... travelling and camping business?"
