I mostly do vectorized images, and have a little difficulty with sketches. That's not me saying I can't do sketches, but they could do with some work. Right now I'm trying to update my story on FimFic, but if you can send me a sketch of your OC, I can take a gander at trying. If anything, a pose of her would work. Now, if I do this, it might be a while since I'm doing a lot of other things IRL, just so you know.

The original artist, from what I recall was said, had used a plain ol' pencil and some paper. I usually do that as well. Though when I go digital, I usually use GIMP and create a sketching tool for that. It's easy, just take a new tool, make it an airbrush, lower the size to around 10 or until you feel comfortable with it, and lower the opacity to at least 30%. That always works for me, and it feels good. Oh, I noticed the brow you were talking about, but I think it's there to show her facial reaction to better effect. Removing it sort of lowers it a bit, so I kept it. Thanks though, I had thought about that for a while whether or not to remove it.

This is my first time using both PS and AI in my art. I cleaned up and colored a sketch from an artist named TeddyB. The original is below the image, to compare. Any comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Edit - I meant to place it here but I accidentally made a new post with it. Anyways, it looks like my art was accepted in Equestria Daily (#12) so that's pretty cool. http://www.equestriadaily.com/2013/01/drawfriend-stuff-684.html

I mostly try and draw some new images or write some chapters for my fanfics I do up over at FimFic. Attempting to do some comics right now, but it's going slow.

Yeah, I know what you mean by the eyes. I really was very tempted to do an image using only that, but thought it would be stupid if I did. The final image looks pretty good though. It took me a few hours to clean this up and get it vectored and colored. I think it turned out pretty well myself, though I wish I could make a much more striking background. Think I'll practice those next time I do an image.

You don't know how tempted I was to leaving them blank for fun. But they'll most likely be just like how I did them in my anthro Pinkie image. I just wanted to do a Pinkie image since she's pretty fun to look at. Also thinking, since I just did an Anthro Pinkie and doing a Pony Pinky, maybe I'll do a Human Pinkie.

So. I've had a previous drawing of Pinkie done up, but so many people pointed out oddities in her. I found out I accidentally slipped into making her Anthro. It's still a good image, and the thread can be found here if you have anything you'd like to say about it ->http://mlpforums.com/topic/44055-pinkie-pie-portrait/#entry1044841 Anyways, I've gone to do a fully re-imaging of Pinkie Pie but more pony-like. I'll have a vectorized image of her done soon enough, but for now here's some images on what I've done on her. And any comments and feedback are always appreciated. I'd like to hear what you fella's have to say about this (I will be vectoring her much like how the link up above is). And I am now done with the image. Here it is, all cleaned up.

Definitely not going to tip her chin out next time and try to make her face more rounded. I will definitely keep the eyes though, I love the style they're in. Yeah, I realized why now. I accidentally drew her in Anthro style (drawing an animal with human characteristics). So right now I'm doing another image of Pinkie, only this time more pony and less human.

Yeah, I've had some people tell me that, but not specifically the problem. You're the only one to point out that flaw. I do find it a small one, but it's still a flaw. I think it's possibly because of how I tipped her chin instead of rounded it out, along with her eyes. Yeah, her eyes. Usually, they're a lot bigger, more rounded, and go up further on her head. What I did here was an old style I used to do and I wanted to see how it would look on her. Oh, and it also might be because I did not add her body and only used her neck and head, like a person would be shown. Hmm... I may change that in the next image.

I thank you for the compliment. After I'm done with this rather strange request, I was thinking of doing either Twilight or Lyra next. Not sure who. I'm leaning to Lyra since I'm doing a story on her, it would help. But Twilight sounds like fun to do.

It was a bit difficult making her hair just right, but definitely worth the effort. I may try doing some more ponies in this style later on, it feels much better doing it this way then what I was doing originally.

Well, I got my tablet working finally and I am back to some drawing. I sketched this up real quick and cleaned it up in Adobe Illustrator. I'll probably do some more images when I'm not writing my stories. Any feedback and comments are appreciated. Edit - I also added in the sketch of how the drawing originally looked, in case anyone was wondering how the two differed. Another Edit - As the picture says, it's Anthro. So many people immediately pointed this out, and I feel like an idiot for not seeing it like that. So, I am going to try and do a pony version of her that's not so darn human looking.

Man it's been a while since I've looked over there. Yeah, why not. I doubt that Equestria Daily will take it, but I submitted anyways.

See what I just did up above, in replying to your post? This automatically tells others when they've been replied to. Just something to point out. And yeah, the science thing was really weird. In my Lyra story, I have it so it's her job to write out scenarios on foreign beings in their world. She does alien ones on the sides though, which the princess still accepts cause she finds them interesting. My human is more or less an environmentalist with a degree and everything. Yeah, that one is hard to bring in, but I'll make it work. So your science thing could still work, but you'd need to make it more acceptable in how we read it. I just can't see how Lyra would just know about the Bosom like that, since that type of thing just came about. If you do go with your second idea, Lyra reading up on humans and being an Anthropologist, it should be stuff from the past. So for example, Greek humans would be what they'd associate with. Much like in our mythologies, we read up on stuff from that era. You could still get away with her knowing other things, maybe from our timeline, but you'd have to give good reasoning as to why. Also, wouldn't that be more interesting to read? Lyra going to the human world and expecting all this Greek stuff, only to find our awesome technological advancements we currently have?

That is definitely something to think over whenever I try to bring another person into the mix next time. Though, this was supposed to be a memory scene right now where the character is remembering things. Like, he's sort of taking himself through his memories in an attempt to remember what happened. But once again, what you pointed out is definitely something to remember for later on.

Huh. This oddly makes me think of my current story I'm writing. It's also Lyra centric, except it's based around the human being an actual alien that goes to Equestria. But yours is more or less the opposite, the pony goes to Earth. Right now, you don't have a thorough explanation of why Lyra knows so much about humans. Sure, most people use the whole 'Lyra's always been into them' idea, but that can get old for a lot of readers. I took it in a different route, where Lyra has had dreams of many different alien races, humans being one of them. I wonder how you'll take it. You can still stay with how other people write it, but personally I'd change it. As for how the story is right now, I don't see a huge problem with anything. It's short, so you need to add in some more to better flesh it out. Also, what's with the whole Lyra knowing weird Earth science stuff? That totally threw me off completely. Maybe you could use other facts, such as basic things that are weird but could be made to read for a silly way? Such as underwear, or maybe she could talk about human mating habits or how they sit? You could probably think of some ideas. As for another personal manner, I don't really care much for the whole 'the protaganist is a Brony' thing. But once again, that's just personal preference. An interesting thing to note though, I haven't seen many people write a proper 'pony goes to Earth' story using the whole Brony idea. As in - Pony comes to Earth. Someone finds Pony. They become totally awesome friends and what not. Other people find out. "Holy crap, it's a pony from the show!" And now treated like a celebrity. Maybe even Hasbro tries to sign the pony, and whomever the pony is familiar with, into deals? Many ways to play it out after people find out about the pony. I dunno, those are just ideas that you could use. Not saying you have to, just some interesting things to think of. Maybe you already have an idea of where the story should go. And if these conflict too much, just ignore them.

Yeah, I suppose next time I write a One Shot, I'll take into consideration of making a more interesting start. I also have an idea for a Novel I want to write, but want to get more practice in actually writing. That's what these fics are for, they're a great way to polish up on one's writing skills. As for boring, you could always check out my other story if you're really that bored. If you have any feedback to that story, I also have another thread for it, which sadly no one really gave me any feedback. Here's the link - http://mlpforums.com/topic/42629-an-alien-walks-amongst-us-constructive-criticism-is-appreciated/

I have some people I write with that help with proofing, or in general just post up interesting ideas to help with stories. What you've said about my past/present tense... yeah... I only found out I have some problems in writing that when a proofer I know of pointed that out to me. It's a flaw in my writing style, I will admit that. I will take the time in trying to avoid that in the future. As for the beginning. Yes, it is a tad boring. I only wrote that small part to introduce the entire story. I actually wrote this story in about a day, then had some people help proofing it before I showed it to a thread. Later on, I then decided to clean it a little more then post it on FimFiction.net. Yeah, I suppose I could've, and maybe should've made the intro more interesting. But I was using the assumption that most readers would easily pick up that the character was transported there and had a fairly easy life, with nothing much else to talk about. It was supposed to be a short little story, so too much detailing and fleshing out things makes it hard to keep short. I do thank you for taking the time in looking it over and showing me these flaws. It helps pressure me into trying to improve my writing. I might do some more One Shots later on down the road, but I'll be sticking to my main story for the time being. And I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was difficult, figuring out a way to write this with a comical sense and some romance placed in there without it trying too hard and making a mess of things.

So, I wrote this a good while back and only decided to clean it up and put it here on FimFiction.net. Story Description - Rainbow Dash asks you to proofread a story for her. What you don't realize, of course, is that the story may be more than just a tale. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. http://www.fimfiction.net/story/72379/please-proof-me Source of image - http://www.ponyderivative.com/images/single/rainbow-dash/?rainbow-dash-flying-04

There can never be enough Lyra/Bon Bon! God, this would've done a great deal more if I had seen this a while back for my story. Oh well.
