BronyPony 575 August 10, 2012 Share August 10, 2012 (edited) So, I was working on something, and I think it is done. I used Paint.NET to draw this. I think this art is really bad, but I just wanted everyone else's opinions on it. I hope it is at least good enough so I won't get hate comments on it. If you have any questions about the picture, just post it here. UPDATE: I added a bigger mane so it doesn't look weird(unless of course the new part of the mane makes it look weirder ) UPDATE: Okay, now the details are fixed.

Hazardus_Havard. 479 August 10, 2012 Share August 10, 2012 The only thing I'd like to point out here is her hair. Try to add more onto the top and add a mane around her head cause it looks a bit strange without on there along with the lack of hair on top. You can also use GIMP for drawing. It's much more superior than Paint.net. Or even Paint Tool SAI. They're also free and almost act identical to Adobe Photoshop. Practice makes perfect; but if nobody's perfect, why practice? http://hazardus-havard.deviantart.com/ Art http://www.fimfiction.net/story/70801/an-alien-walks-amongst-us Story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Shine 767 August 10, 2012 Share August 10, 2012 Honestly, I doubt that anyone here is going to leave hate comments about it. But what I am seriously most curious about is the context of the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I originally had more hair, but I thought since she was spy that she needed short hair. Honestly, I doubt that anyone here is going to leave hate comments about it.

Night Shine 767 August 10, 2012 Share August 10, 2012 Sorry. I'm just really curious about what the art is about. Why is this pony a spy? What organization is she spying for, and who is she spying on? etc, etc. ...sorry for not having any legitimate advice or criticism... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She can have short hair, but make sure it at least has some mane to it. If you have it slicked back or a spy cap on top, it would excuse any shortage of hair there.

Basically I am going to be making a comic out of this, and here is the back story. She is pretty much an experiment that was designed to make a perfect stealth pony. Apart from the Royal Gaurd, Celestia hired her as a spy to infiltrate enemy kingdoms and find key intel, which then LOLA, or the Lethal Operations Legal Authority, was formed. She is pretty much invisible to anyone out there. Though, later in the comic story she begins to work for herself most of the time, leaving some conflict between her and the actual program. She can have short hair, but make sure it at least has some mane to it. If you have it slicked back or a spy cap on top, it would excuse any shortage of hair there. I will probably fix it and post the new one. Edited August 10, 2012 by BronyPony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happysalesman 23 August 10, 2012 Share August 10, 2012 I'm not much of an artist myself, so I can't give much critique on the specifics of the art world. I'm not gonna talk about the mane, because that's been beat to death. I would definitely recommend getting an actual photo editing program like Gimp, or Photoshop (I personally find PS easier to use, as there are a million more PS tutorials than Gimp tutorials). It makes drawing and coloring images a snap (especially if you have a drawing tablet!) Anyhoo, critique's for the photo. The grenade bandolier looks off, mostly because the last grenade at the top isn't sticking up much from her body, like a grenade normally would. I'm not sure what that is on her flank, a holster? A pouch? I'd define it more, or remove it, as it feels a little unnecessary to me. Last couple things, the veil covering her face should either be removed, or make it opaque. And the mic should actually extend to her mouth, not end at her jaw. Doesn't do much good to be a stealthy spy if you have to shout to communicate with your team ><. I know I sound nitpicky, but I figure, if you're gonna do a job, might as well do it accurately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happysalesman 23 August 10, 2012 Share August 10, 2012 No problem And if you ever want some tips or advice on using Gimp or PS to color your drawing (I'm not good at the drawing aspect, but I loooove coloring them in lol) I'd be more than willing to throw some tutorials and whatnot your way.

Lunalicious 223 August 10, 2012 Share August 10, 2012 It's actually pretty good! The front left hoof needs a little bit of work, make it so that her chest protrudes a little bit. "Forgive me if I withhold my enthusiasm." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnightive 458 August 10, 2012 Share August 10, 2012 I really like her mane? No i'm joking! I love her eyes and the background. If i had anything to say about it is that her front hoof is a little flat and the other one seems a little off But other then that i love the drawing!

You my friend earned a fluttershy! Thank you for the Fluttershy! Yeah, it takes time to make stuff like this. It was really worth my time to draw this, so time doesn't really matter to me. I really like her mane? No i'm joking! I love her eyes and the background. If i had anything to say about it is that her front hoof is a little flat and the other one seems a little off But other then that i love the drawing!Yeah the hoof may need some refining, with the other hoof as well, but anyways thanks for the comment! You all are inspiring me more and more to write my comic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
