akita-ken 581 January 4, 2013 Share January 4, 2013 (edited) Before the Elements of Harmony, there were just - The Elements! - I've been working on this for the entire week and it ranks up there as one of the more detailed pieces I've done (background isn't by me though, it's some vector from an RD episode that a fellow deviantArt-er put up for public use - sure came in handy! didn't have to draw a background ) Please please let me know what you think! Edited January 5, 2013 by akita-ken 4 Signature to come soon. I think. Yeah. Once I think up a nice one. Or when someone makes one for me. Damn it. I need more time to draw and animate poni. >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leafeon 2,702 January 4, 2013 Share January 4, 2013 Ha. I actually have my own version of this. I'm not done it yet, but it doesn't include wind. I have all the separate pictures tho. Looks quite good. However, the water pony is a bit off. What's the bit on her side supposed to be? Also, the Wind's front legs look a bit... broken. But the rest is awesome. 2 Eeveelutions: @Vaporeon: N-Harmonia : Ampharos @Flareon: Descant/Bard @Espeon: Locked @Umbreon: Lhee @Leafeon: Firebolt @Glaceon: Mal @Sylveon: Don'tDropThatDedenne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drew them all separately too! So I have one Illustrator file for Water, Wind, Fire and Earth each. Then I spliced all of them together in Photoshop afterwards Looks quite good. However, the water pony is a bit off. What's the bit on her side supposed to be? Also, the Wind's front legs look a bit... broken. But the rest is awesome. Haha I knew someone would ask! The floppy-looking 'wings' on the Water element are actually fins/flippers. You know, being a water pony and all... (she can fold them flat on her body, but in this picture she's relaxing so they're limp on the ground. Heh, I was trying to give each of them a unique trait Also, Earth is eyeing Air, just look at those smug grins between Water and Fire! Ah I see what you mean about Wind's forelegs, there's that bump there that shouldn't be there, I'll fix it 1 Signature to come soon. I think. Yeah. Once I think up a nice one.

To keep continuity. Mine aren't very specific, and are just a unicorn, pegasus, and earth pony. Should probably make RP pages for all of them. Well, here are my variations, if your intrested in seeing them. Firebolt (Fire) Chlorophyll (Plant/Grass/Earth) (REALLY need to re-draw this one soon) Hydrobeam/Froathe (Water) Edited January 4, 2013 by Firebolt 2 Eeveelutions: @Vaporeon: N-Harmonia : Ampharos @Flareon: Descant/Bard @Espeon: Locked @Umbreon: Lhee @Leafeon: Firebolt @Glaceon: Mal @Sylveon: Don'tDropThatDedenne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky McGillyCuddy 956 January 4, 2013 Share January 4, 2013 The element of water's wing looks like an extra leg haha I like the idea of ponies that represent the 'actual' elements. Would be happy if that were cannon. 4 If you'd be so kind as to check out some of my drawings, I would really appreciate feedback. http://mlpforums.com/topic/82464-feedback-is-magic/?hl=feedback+is+magic#entry2127254 http://mlpforums.com/topic/82871-what-happens-when-a-pony-fights-a-griffin/?p=2178588 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firebolt (Fire) Chlorophyll (Plant/Grass/Earth) (REALLY need to re-draw this one soon) Hydrobeam/Froathe (Water) They look great! I love seeing other ponies's art styles and I gotta say yours definitely has the unique edge due to the gradient shading giving them some depth :3 So you're the fire element! Who'da thunk it The element of water's wing looks like an extra leg haha I like the idea of ponies that represent the 'actual' elements. Would be happy if that were cannon. Haha I can see how you'd see that at first! Now that you mention it it's pretty funny! I knew I should've added some additional texturing to make it more obvious that it was a fin/flipper Oh how much I'd give to see my headcanon become actual canon.. 1 Signature to come soon. I think.

How's Firefly, Waterfall, Airflowe and Earthbound sound Haha, I wish they were a fanfiction Maybe I'll write one They look good but I gotta admit... what is wrong with the legg of the water element pony? it looks weird.... but I like the flying one the most tough! It's not a leg!!! It's a fin/flipper, in the water they will function like wings on a pegasus 1 Signature to come soon. I think. Yeah. Once I think up a nice one. Or when someone makes one for me.

Sensuna 138 January 5, 2013 Share January 5, 2013 I see now but it still somehow kinda looks like a hunch of flesh if you ask me mayby add some scales to it's flipper so it won't look like another legg or what I called it before 1 Link to my DeviantART http://cresidia.deviantart.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuna Crescent 142 January 5, 2013 Share January 5, 2013 those sound like good names and yes!!! make a fanfiction of this!!! it would be AWESOME!!! this whole idea of some ponies repersenting elements is really cool :3 1 Yuna Crescent: https://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/yuna-crescent-r8301 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octavia's Cellozoid 1,488 January 5, 2013 Share January 5, 2013 These are pretty good, probably better than I could do We waters and we fires do not talkYes. Us Pisces do not talk, let alone get along with, those darn Ares... At least, not in person... XD Kidding, of course. Both my siblings are Ares... I'm the only Pisces... :/ 2 Finland is my favorite.

Sensuna 138 January 5, 2013 Share January 5, 2013 that's much better already now it looks more like a fish too mayby add some how do you call them... what fish have to breath underwater because what is a water spirit without being able to get underwater for long 1 Link to my DeviantART http://cresidia.deviantart.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True that and yes I meant gills but it was just a suggestion I know some animals can stay underwater for a long time despite they don't have gills 1 Link to my DeviantART http://cresidia.deviantart.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
