Wow! Your art is just.. AMAZING!

Would you mind drawing Private Eye? He has a link in my signature (though I can link him in the actual post if you want)

Thank you so much if you do, and I understand if you don't want to.

 

Thank you, first of all; you truly do flatter me.  Unfortunately though, I had to close my requests since I recently realized how far behind I am (right now I still have eight more to complete).  However, once I do catch up and reopen my requests, I would be more than happy to draw Private Eye for you!

Of course! Don't worry, I am patient. Take as much time as you need. Do what you have to do~

Just make sure not to overdo it or overwork yourself!

I have two minor updates, nothing special at all. Not my best work either...

 

 

I cannot say I am proficient at creating backgrounds, but this is what I have right now for you. If you would like something different or added, please feel free to say so; I know it looks a bit barren and lacking in details right now. I am always looking for practice on my weak areas, and this certainly counts.

I love it. Would it be possible to add some color? It would be absolutely perfect if you did that. Other than that, it is amazing.

Perhaps once I catch up on my other requests, I might be able to add a little bit of color to this; I agree that it would look much better with it, or even some shading.  I am glad you like it though.

Here is a small update on your request, if you can call it that as I strayed so far from the original concept you gave me that it can hardly be called yours anymore.  I am terribly sorry...I can start from scratch if you so desire.  Actually, that may be for the best, since I think this is absolute rubbish to begin with (and I just realized how poor the scan turned out...wonderful).  I, at least, wanted to show that I have been trying to work on your request.  As always, please let me know what you think and we can proceed from there.

I love it! It's actually better than my original concept if you ask me. I wouldn't change anything, the corner in the top left is the perfect place to put the title. Would you mind if I added color when you finish?

I will quite honest, it is a relief that you that you do approve for I feared that you may not have cared for this rendition.  Not that I would have minded a do-over, but it is always a small source of anxiety when you go beyond parameters and reactions are unknown.  I just want to add a couple more details, sharpen up the lines and add the scroll into the corner and it should be done.  And this is your request, after all, so you may do with it as you like once it is finished!  I would actually be eager to see what it would look like in color.  A friend of mine recently colored one of my previous requests and it turned out wonderfully, so I would love to see what you would do with it.

Here is the most recent update on your request.  If there is anything that you feel is amiss or is in need of improvement or even something you do not like at all, please let me know.   Otherwise, I believe there is not much more that I can do with this, as you said you would like to take a personal touch on the coloring.  I also left the scroll blank intentionally, since typography is not my specialty and I thought you would do better with font than I could.  However, if you would like me to add the title, I can certainly do so.

It's perfect! I'll add some color and the title in a couple of days and show you how it turns out. I'll find a good font online for the scroll, or maybe I'll use Ringbearer. Thank you so, so much for doing this! :wub:

You are more than welcome.  I would not say it is perfect, but so long as you are happy with it and it serves your needs, I am content.  And yes, please be sure to let me know when you have it colored; I would love to see what you have planned for it!

Here is a minor update on your request to check if I have portrayed your character correctly thus far.  I know it is not much to go on right now, but if there is anything amiss or your feel needs changing, please let me know so that I can correct it for you.  I must also apologize, for this is clearly not my best work on display but here is hoping that the final product will be marginally better (I was really reluctant to even post these).

 

Basic bust shots

Basic body proportions 

As I understand it, Dusk's body structure is more slender and taller than that of a normal pony; is this correct?

I like what I see so far :) The middle bust is almost exactly the pose I had mentally created him in while I was designing him.

 

Yes he's more slender and taller than most, the proportions you've created match what I had visualised in my head.

 

I have forgotten to mention one thing but its a minor change really. He wears a tool kit on one of his fore hooves, it's like the assassins creed hidden blade except its for lock picks etc. As I said fairly minor, it's just the only way I can reconcile him being able to pick locks because otherwise you have to ask where he's getting his tools from.

 

I'm really excited to see what you come up with, thank you for this. :D

Another small update for you on what is to be the final composition.  It is not much more than a mess of smudges and lines at the moment, but I at least wanted to show that I am actually trying to work on these. Heh, that seems to be the only thing I do anymore is trying to prove that I am actually doing anything

 

As always, if you feel there is a need for something to be altered or changed, please let me know.  I do plan on adding a cloak to the final rendition, but I had to get the body position correct before I proceeded.

That's a great action pose :) you caught a real look of concentration on his face.

 

Lol and don't worry I'm a patient man, I really appreciate you doing this.

Your patience is not what I am concerns me (though I greatly appreciate it), but the slow pace that I am 'completing' these requests.  I started this thread in September and I have only done a handful of these, where as anyone else would have turned these out in no time.  But enough of the self-loathing though.

 

Here is your request, for better or worse.  If nothing else, this one shows me how much I really need to improve on such as illusion of movement, clothing and hair, ect.  And I will be quite honest that I had a bit of difficulty trying to figure out a proper composition for your character, creating several thumbnail sketches and two redraws before I settled with this one.  If you have any thoughts or questions on this, please let me know.  And I wish to apologize in advance for how sloppy this may look.  As I said, it is not my best and there is no excuse,

Well the only way to improve is to practice and I really love what you've turned out :), actually the very pose and scene you've drawn there has given me an idea for story in itself.. or at least the seed of one.

Don't be so hard on yourself, you did this from the kindness of your heart and I've seen worse that people have paid for.

 

Thank you!

Much appreciated; so long as you are satisfied, that is what matters.  And that fact that it may have inspired you for a story idea was a pleasant side effect.

 

That is precisely why I took on these requests: to gain some form of practice on areas that I am weak in as well as to bring some sort of satisfaction to others.  Though I find more flaws the more I draw, I am sure the time spent will be worth it in the end.  Anyway, I am glad to hear that you like it and it has been a pleasure.

Well if you decide to take on more requests later I have over 16 characters with back stories to choose from that I'd also love to be drawn up, and I know a few might test you greatly lol.

Once I have completed this my current requests, I do plan on opening up a second round.  That is, if any would be interested at that point.  But 16 characters, all with back stories?  That is quite a compilation of individuals and I would gladly take up the challenge on a few of them.

Well I'll keep an eye out for a reopening and put my name down in the queue :) some of the characters still need a bit more fleshing out before a public unvieling of course.

I am in great need of cover art for the fanfic I'm writing, In the Sky. It's about two pegasi who enroll in the Wonderbolt Academy, and as they advance through the stages of becoming and being Wonderbolts, they grow more attached to each other. In the picture, it be cool if the darker pegasus, Star Dust, is playfully teasing Meteor Shower, the champagne colored pegasus, with Meteor Shower ignoring her/rolling his eyes. Here are their pictures, I really hope you can draw some, your previous art looks amazing!

 

If you don't have a color that is shown above, it is fine if you use something similar. biggrin.png

 

Finally, I am starting to get through these requests...slowly.  However, I have begun preliminary work on your request.  In the meantime, I thought I would at least show you a couple bust sketches of Star Dust and Meteor Shower.  It is not much, but I thought you might like to see something.  I do have a possibly random question on Star Dust; did you have a special design in mind for the hair that differentiates from the picture you gave me?  The only reason I ask is she is currently a recolor of Rainbow Dash and I thought it might be nice to give her at least a slight alteration to give her a bit more individuality.  

 

As I said, I apologize that this is not much and that this is poor quality garbage, but I wanted to make sure I have the main character features down before I move much further.  If you have any critiques or comments, do not hesitate to say.  Now, off to work on your request!

Umm... I must ask... Do you have a rule against multiple requests? If so, maybe a trade can work out (Sorry to everypony else who is waiting, scanner access is limited!)

 

Because I would LOVE a pic of Sweets and her cat, Toffee. I can give you ref pics of Toffee (My real cat). I figured she would look like that one kitty from 'May the Best Pet Win!'

No, I have no qualm against multiple requests.  However, I have closed any further requests until I have completed the ones the ones that are currently active.  Once I have caught up on these requests, I would gladly draw this up for you.  As far as a trade, we can discuss that later when I have caught up with everything.  I am sorry though, but I am working as hard as I can to get everything finished.
