  1. The first one is pretty good, I like it! It's a pretty simple design overall, and a little abstract. To me it communicates "passion with an inner spark". The second one is interesting, and definitely unique. I'm not quite sure what to make of it, though. It it a play on the term "tune up"? Because that's pretty clever! The ribbons are a neat touch, but maybe unnecessary. The designs should have more flat colors though. Overly detailed/rendered cutie marks don't translate well when actually put on a pony because they end up too small to really appreciate the detail.
  2. I want to get up an eat strawberries with cream but I am so snug in a blanket.. Also a cat is on top of me.
  3. Skylight has such an appealing design i felt compelled to draw him as a quick warm up! I tried to get as close to your description as I could along with some personal takes on his look. Uploading this from a mobile device so hopefully it looks okay. I hope you enjoy!
  4. My friend gifted me a natural series blind box which had Rainbow Dash and today I bought a Zipp!
  5. Flurry Heart! Not even just because she's a baby. I think she has a really pretty color palette, and she looks sweet in her stained glass appearance. I do wonder what became of her...
  6. A really good episode! Though I'm not a huge Hitch fan so I probably aren't appreciating it as much as I could. I think it was really funny the cute cuddly creatures
  7. It's my birthday today! :yay:

    At midnight my friends showed me a silly video presentation to celebrate, a dear friend got me a MLP Natural Series blind box which contained Rainbow Dash, my brother got me some wireless earbuds, and later I'm going to the mall with my sisters to watch The Bad Guys. I wonder what else today has in store for me! :pinkie:

  8. I think they're decently cute. I get why people don't like them, but I feel like some get way too heated over it. They're just drawings and voice clips calm down!
  9. She definitely comes from an affluent background. I would definitely consider her rich.
  10. It's a great start, but the snout and mouth could be made bigger and maybe moved a bit further down? I redlined it a bit to show you what I mean. (Excuse the roughness I'm on my phone right now) I wouldn't worry too much about the top of the head since it's going to be covered by hair, but the perceived wonkiness could be that it's a perfect circle. Heads don't tend to be perfect circles. As for drawing eyes, I'm not sure how to really explain it, but there are plenty of guides online that can show you how! Here are two that I found after a quick search: https://www.deviantart.com/wicklesmack/art/My-Little-Pony-Eyes-Tutorial-304344499 https://www.deviantart.com/frostykat13/art/Digital-MLP-Eye-Tutorial-490483363 All in all, you're very early in the artistic process! Try making it to a complete rough sketch and then people will be able to give more detailed and accurate advice and critiques. Keep it up!
  11. I really like Chihuahuas! They're cute, incredibly sweet, and make great companions when they are treated like regular dogs and not like toys to bother whenever you want.
  12. Another day another Scila! Just a quick doodle that can function as a proper icon too
  13. Yeah I really doubt they were ever planning on keeping the movie VAs. Between how much it costs to keep them around and (assumption incoming) the actors likely having all sorts of other projects they want to be involved in which would conflict with working on MLP, it was inevitable. I can only see them coming back for another feature film project, but by then I think everyone will be used to the current actors!
  14. throwing rocks at my laptop and hoping that'll help me figure out what the RP scene around here is (and how to get into it)

  15. I think a MLP show in an anime style could be pretty good. Just think of the Sanrio/Hello Kitty cutesy aesthetic. In fact, Hasbro has a history of licensing franchises to Japan. Just look at some of these toys from the 80s! If it were to go full blown mainstream anime tropes, of course it would be complete ass, but I doubt that's the sort of thing they'd go for first. Remember! This is a toy company first, and a brony pandering machine second!
  16. I personally really enjoy the fantastical and grandiose origin story, but I can see why you would want to change it. Something I want to ask though is if you have a particular setting/continuity in mind for your OC to exist in? My own OC is rather plain without much of anything special going on (yet) but she doesn't exist in any of the MLP show continuities, mostly because I don't want to feel limited by anything. (Though, G5 is tempting me a bit..)
  17. I think all of the generation styles have their own charm, but I'm very biased towards G3 because of nostalgia. I like the feeling of dimension the style has and something about the thickness is really endearing to me. G4 and G1 have their own charm, but when I think MLP my first thought is always gonna be G3.
  18. Discussing the usefulness of rainbow hair as camouflage is kind of silly considering the ponies live in a similar state of civilization as humans where they don't really need to worry about predators on a day to day basis. Design wise, I think it's fine. It works well enough in the show's style, but I probably would've preferred if the colors were split between the mane and tail. Either way, it's a really simple thing to suspend belief on.
  19. I like your OC, she's really cute! I'm no character design expert, but I'm gonna try my hoof at giving some advice. Her color scheme works well, but the values could probably be adjusted a little imo. Spawning magical wings is a really neat idea, maybe they could be insect like? I suggest that mostly because they're very simple so it would probably be the easiest spell to consistently cast. Something like in the episode where Rarity gets wings perhaps? Regarding cutie mark design, the bright green really clashes with the rest of the color scheme. I would really suggest a desaturated color and maybe going for a blue-leaning hue. If you don't like the peace sign itself, but want a similar concept communicated, maybe you could use an olive branch or a dove. I know you mention the peace thing comes from a silly place of being young and idealistic, but I'm not sure what else to suggest. It's really hard to give advice on cutie mark design without knowing much about you or your OC's background. Name wise, I think Kitty Cat is sweet, but if you want a change maybe something like Kathy or Katie could do something for you. I don't think anything about your OC reads as Mary Sue. I can tell it was made by someone young, for sure, but it's in an endearing way to me.
  20. Two years since the main series finale is more than enough time to cope. Maybe this is just because I've gotten used to similar shit from another company (cough pokemon cough) but that's just how it is now. Maybe it feels like there was barely room to breathe considering the show ran for nearly a decade, but I don't think it was too soon or anything.
  21. Probably not. I won't seek them out, but if I end up coming across them I'll definitely take a peek. I think its fun!
  22. Welcome to the forums! Your art is incredible!
  23. In no particular order Top 10 Maud Pie - very funny Princess Cadence - big sister vibes we love it Pinkie Pie - also funny Applejack - love a country girl Flurry Heart - just a baby.. she's adorable Fluttershy - relatable (shy and good with animals) Zecora - i love her design Yona - sweet and funny i liek her Queen Chrysalis - yass queen steal the love from equestria!! Big Mac - i think he's neat Bottom 10 Starlight Glimmer - i want to blow her up i think she could have been better done Chancellor Neighsay - literal racist.

Boo tomato tomato tomato Cozy Glow - i want to say i can appreciate her as a villain but.. not really? it just feels weird
  24. Please excuse this late night posting but I drew another Scila Bell. Featuring her parents this time! Living vicariously through this little pony. What a nice home..
