  1. Well actually Equestria does exist, except in an alternate plane, one separate from ours. You can enter Equestria via Sleep Paralysis, and exiting your physical body, which is in the physical plane, and thus enter a spiritual body, and enter any alternate plane, i.e. Equestria, and experience reality in a different plane. You can also create a tulpa(e), and thus live with whatever fictional character you'd like, whilst resembling true emotions from your subconcious. An advanced imaginary friend, persay.

    Well... the subconscious isn't another plane, it's another state. Those two words are very different from each other. Being that a state resides in the same plane.

     

    Sleep has nothing to do with the spiritual realm.  Spirits have to do with the spiritual realm.  

     

    So if you count dying as sleep, then yes.

     


     

    Anywho, I like your last paragraph.

    "So, I guess my point is that we can't yearn after a vision of Equestria. We have to live here in the real world. It's got plenty of wonder and the magic of friendship to spare. Go get it. "

     

    Quite the line you have conjured up there.

     

    And I'd have to agree, just because we can create something in this world from our heads doesn't mean it suddenly must exist somewhere.

     

    Beautifully written.

  2. I'm a bit confused as to what you mean by "moving out of realism" and more towards a "cartoony/caricature" style since all them there ponies in FiM are already caricatures. I think you mean to say that you're trying to move away from being show accurate? pinkiepiesillyplz.png?1

     

    Before I post this wall I want release the following. I'm still a student myself and the following has been found either through books/articles I've read or lessons which teachers have lectured on. Either way, do not take the following advice as 100% fact and take only what will help you. 

     

    What I'd suggest is to first get a good handle on drawing regular show muzzles/eyes and then attempt caricaturing them. It's easier to simplify/exaggerate something once you've acquired a good understanding of how the original is built. The biggest issue though is that you're attempting to do a parody of a parody so it's going to be tough finding something which feels as though it'll work caricature wise. In the end though it just comes down to some hardcore experimentation, trial, and error when it comes to doing caricatures.

     

    So with what I just said above in mind, how can I try to give you advice? The fact of the matter is that I really can't. The knowledge which I have is drawing more towards a true to show kind of stature when it comes to small horses. What you've done in your ADERPTABLES!!!! is a great example of you already caricaturing that of which is already caricatured. 

     

    I'd like to help you further but since you're trying to move away from drawing in a "true to show" style most of my advice would be moot. Besides, I'm sure there's plenty of tuts which could further assist you. What you currently do have for your eyes though is a good start while your muzzles seem a bit too ridged. I say draw a fully fleshed out pony in your experimental style and see how peeps take it.

    No, i draw rwalism, lifelike characters. Trying to move from that to the caricature. Thanks thoigh, guess thats bow i gotta rangle this thing.
