VengefulStrudel's gift to our donors (more arts! more ponies! hurrah)

[PiratePony 8,486]

After being inspired by @Rikifive's gift to our donors, our own moderator and sentient Greek pastry @VengefulStrudel is getting into the spirit of giving and also wants to make some art for our donors.

 

Let's hear it for my fellow FiM teammate and what he has in store for our donors. So donate at least $5 and distract Strudes from his moderator duty.  For Christmas.

[VengefulStrudel 1,495]

'ello everyone! Welcome!

"Now what's a pastry doing here?", you may be wondering - the answer is pretty simple; I'm here to draw ponies for people!

Christmas is the season of giving, and since I'm unable to donate to the ongoing charity fundraiser, I decided to help in another way. The least I could do! So, for all ya people that have generously donated, I'm going to be drawing a headshot / bust of any pony you want me to.

Ponies!

"So, do I need to do anything before requesting a pony?"

Eeyup! If you have have donated at least $5 to the charity:water fundraiser, then you can get a pony!

"How many ponies can I request?"

The answer would be one - it can be any pony you want! Preferably, it would be your OC/ponysona. After all, this is a thank-you to you for donating.

"Can I request something special for my pony?"

Of course - if your pony has any accessories (like earrings), or if you want me to put a Santa hat on it, just let me know. Of course, you can also tell me what facial expression you'd like me to draw! By default, I'll be doing a normal smile.

"How do I request?"

After donating $5 or more, just leave a post here*, show me a picture reference of your OC, tell me if you'd like anything special (as mentioned previously!) and then I'll add it to the WIP list. Once it's done, I'll post it here. If you want something changed, just let me know~

*You can also send me a PM if you'd rather. I don't bite!

If you don't have a reference image of your pony, then just describe 'em and I'll do my best to create them! Even sending an image and saying "I want it kinda like this" works.

---

And now for some miscellaneous info!

- It will be a flat-colored picture, no shading asides from a little bit of light on the hair.
- I'll be drawing these in a 1024x1024 resolution, and save it as a .png format. If you'd rather another format, let me know~

If you have any other questions, just let me know!

Anyway, it's pretty early as of the time of typing this, but I'll say it; Merry Christmas to you all! I hope you have a great time this year, and that you enjoy it with those closest to you.

If we already requested from Riki, can we do it here? I assume so, I just don't want to be greedy.

Eeeyup, of course you can!

[Jeric 46,869]

Eeeyup, of course you can!

Well in that case imma put aside me scruples for one of your precious pony picture presents. But keep me at the bottom if anyone after me requests.

 

Also, since I'm on an 'embarrass horsewife' kick.

 

 

Sorry Jessica!

[Rainbow_Pepper 59]

Would love to get one of Pony Expo's Desert Rose here. Could use it to further promote this event from the con's twitter feed.

[Troblems 5,620]

Oh! Me please!

Her glasses and ear studs, and if you can show some sass, that would be nice. I'm not sure how to get that across, so the normal smile would be fine. Also, I lol'd at the tags.

[Randimaxis 8,659]

Hiya, Strude!

 

Even though my donation isn't quite as spectacular as some of our other folks (*ahem* @JonasDarkmane), but I still gave over the $5 request mark... so may I humbly request an arty-work, good pony friend?

 

If the answer is yes, then I'd actually like to request a headshot of Luther Blackwater:

 

 

Luther NEVER smiles - but I'd like to give him some kind of reason, this time.  I would LOVE it if you could art him with a Santa hat on, but looking a bit annoyed with it (for whatever reason; too big, too small, the tip hanging in his face).  Keep his silver-framed glasses in mind, as well... and be sure to still make him look strong/proud - just annoyed.

 

Do this, my friend, and I'll put it up as my avi for the course of December - because the moving eyeball works well, but maaaaaaybe isn't too 'Christmasy', y'know?

 

If the answer is no, simply disregard everything above - no problem.

 

Either way, I thank you very kindly for your time.  *bows humbly*

 

[Rikifive 24,274]

Awwwwww that's the spirit! 

 

Those ponies are sooooooo cute!!

 

That's so generous of you,@@VengefulStrudel, to join this fun to bring smile to the others! Now that's what I call "Making Christmas even Merrier"! 

I can't make a request, but I just wanted to thank you for your kindness and say, that this is awesome! 

 

Good luck! I hope you'll be flooded with requests having fun!!

If you wouldn't be able to do so, then that would mean, that from some point of view I'd be blocking you from requesting somepony else. I would never do such a thing! 

Go wild and request everypony! 

[Raritas 6,820]

Hey there Strudel!  

 

I really like your drawings and art style I finally made an OC recently after 4 years and I kinda need some art for it... This is the perfect thing! Charity and my first OC art! Unfortunately the only reference I can give is from PonyTown but it shows the key details for the hair and face and such If it is possible to add, he has a neckerchief which has something to do with his backstory, I don't know yet xD 

 

 

As for a pose, something cute I suppose, I'm new to requesting art so I'm no good at deciding poses

 

I hope it's not too much trouble, hope you have fun making the other pieces, thank you for doing this

[VengefulStrudel 1,495]

@Cloggedone's pic is done!

 

 

I look forward to doing everyone else's ponies as well~ c:

Thanks Riki! I really like your pixel pones as well. <3 I have to say the same to ya as well, thank you for your generosity! Hope you get swarmed with requests have fun as well!

[Dark Horse 12,966]

Knowing you, I'll probably regret this, but since it's Christmas and your heart is generous, how about giving Dark Horse some boops love? You've had experience after all. :-P

 

 

Try not to make him look too grumpy.

 

Thanks!

[VengefulStrudel 1,495]

@Bojo's pic is done! I had a little more free time today so I managed to get it done faster than I expected.

 

 

 

Knowing you, I'll probably regret this

 

And why would that be? I am a completely innocent and silly pastry, nothing odd to see here! *hides his "100 ways to boop Dark Horse" list of picture ideas* Nothing suspicious at all! :awuh:

 

Also, it seems the Rarity Fan Club donated to the charity! Might have to do a bonus Rarity once all the other ponies are done.

[Buzz 1,769]

STRUDEL! I WILL TAKE ONE OF YOUR AMAZING ARTZ (ONLY CUZ YOU OFFERED)!!!

Keep up the good work buddy, they all look great

HOLY *squee* !

This is just too cute, Pastrypone! Thank you very much for making it; I truly loved it  .  Keep up the awesome work!

Generous pastry is generous.

[VengefulStrudel 1,495]

Aaaand @Jeric's pic is done! I hope ya both like it~

Oh yeah, that looks perfect. I'm ecstatic that you put her pendant in. <3 Thanks Strudes. 

[Rikifive 24,274]

Oh my princesses! Cuteness overload! 

They are soooooo adorable! Great work!

Yay! Crypty would love to join ^-^

Is... there any way to create a headshot using a written description? While the guy in my avatar is... close to my vision for my OC, he is... not quite what I wanted to make.

[VengefulStrudel 1,495]

Apologies for the slight delays everyone, just got done with an exam~ Still a few more to go, but got some more free time until then.

Of course! Just give me a description of your OC - mainly their hairstyle, colors, and any accessories (if they have any), but if you think any other info would be helpful to have, feel free to share that too.

[Kaneki 1,073]

Loving my result, by the way. Thanks for this!

[Glacies Frost 428]

Glacies is a young adult unicorn. He has sharp ears, a slightly less prominent chin than Shining Armor, has average sized eyes, though they are a bit narrow. His mane is straight, comes down to the bottom of his neck. Bangs stop an inch or so above his eyes. Um, if there's anything else I forgot to provide, please let me know.

 

His coat color is:

His hair color is a gradient:

 

I would go into detail on his cutie mark (a white snowflake on a blue leather spell book), but that's not necessary for a headshot.

 

EDIT: I haven't pinned down a perfect look for him as he's still a brainchild, so anything you'd like to make as an addition is welcome. I'd love to see what you can make out of my admittedly weak description.

@Rainbow_Pepper's pic is done! Here's Desert Rose:

 

 

Also, @ - Don't worry, that description's good. Gives me all the info I need~
