An opinion on this Fluttershy banner?

[Onylex 2,837]

 

 

Hello, ppl of said forums.

I don't have much to say about this other than whats in the title of the thread.

 

Its a spring themed Fluttershy banner I was planning on sending in and making into an official MLP Forums banner.

Originally I had asked for a critique but I think it was a little bit to minuscule at the time so, I decided to update it/work on it a little more and instead of asking for a critique, I thought Id ask for an opinion.

 

Of course if you have nothing to say about it at all and or see a post of someone's opinion on whom you agree with a simple brohoof on this post err theirs would be very helpful and very much appreciated.

 

It'd be more or less a way for me to see if I'm going in the right direction with it.   

 

Thanks again!  :grin2:

Seems like favoritism, but that seems like an awesome banner.

I'm hoping I can get this done before spring break drops.

I'll try to work on it as much as I can over the next two weeks.

 

I also wanna say thanks for the feed back guys, I really appreciate it!  :grin2: 

I'll continue to keep you posted on the update's, perhaps if I have a enough time it might be colored!

This banner looks amazing! I hope it become official because some of these banners have been un-creative at best.

Though perhaps slightly off-tangent, I must say that I do enjoy the drawing style you've applied.  Though I've seen some lovely work utilizing the show's standard style, it's always refreshing to see these characters in a new way (though, I will admit a bit of biased there).  Looks like I have another artist to watch on DA.

 

With that out of the way, on to the banner itself.  As Fluttershy is the main focus, you seem to have her design and character itself well depicted, even down to her expression, which is sheepish yet sincere in her expression.  The addition of the birds and butterflies in your latest sketch is also welcoming and adds that much more to the spring theme.  The only thing that I notice that I thought I'd point out, which neither adds nor retracts anything from the piece, is given how the body anatomy is draw, I get the feeling that she is a bit more anthropamorphic here.  Nothing wrong with that, especially given how these ponies move in the show itself anyway, but just something I thought to point out.

 

The text used seems a bit bland and rather uninteresting, not really meshing well with both the style and theme used here though perhaps it's just a place holder until the piece is finished.

 

This turned out longer than I anticipated, but I do hope this was helpful in some way.  Good luck with this and I do hope to see more soon.  Take care!
