My Mane Six OCs

[Feather Gem 967]

Critique away.

 

 

Now, I know what you're thinking...

Could I get ANY messier?

The answer...probably.

 

So ignore the messiness

And critique?

 

(I likes to makes the big ears xD)

Maybe it's just your art style, I dont know, but perhaps try drawing some of them without their tongues out and possibly less clothes. 

As for critique, Angel Feather and Mystical flow, their legs look a little too long for my liking, but that's just me. Their jaws seem a little too square, but again - that's just me. 

 

I can't really see any major flaws with them, in fact I can't see any minor flaws with them that are actual flaws, other than just a different art style to mine. Overall good works definitely keep it up.

The idea for the picture was that they'd all have their tongues out xD

Ah yes.  I like to make them tall...but now that I look at it...I may have overdone it a bit. 

 

Okay.  xD Thanks!

[Agent505 661]

Ah ok haha, then that's fair enough  

 

If you're going for a look with all their tongues out, why not try a few different expressions with tongues out? 

You could have some like Pinkie Pie, just totally crazy with her tongue hanging right down and mouth wide open, some only slightly poking their tongue out, some maybe with the tongue going up from one corner of their mouth? You get the idea, now im rambling.

 

Basically just experiment for variation, but like I said it's a good piece how it is

Hmm!  That's a good idea! xD I wonder how I never thought of that.

I also should have done that for this picture (which I'm showing to you because I can!)

 

 

Yes...variation would have been better xD

(and it looks weird...I sure have gotten better in one month xD)

It kinda looks like you're falling into the same trap I found myself in once.

I got too comfy with drawing things I was good at, I never tried to challenge myself to draw any better, and I never improved, all my drawings looked the same, and then I decided it was time for a break. Still haven't gotten back round to drawing yet...

 

What i'm saying is, dont go there  

By all means draw what you like and what looks good to you, but try to make one drawing differ from the other.

Before I start critiquing, can I just say that I think what you did is really creative?! You've created your own Mane 6, and you've given them each a name and personality! Way to go~

 

However there are some things wrong with this (you knew it was coming). I'm guessing her name is Dawn Minuet or something similar, but she looks like she's standing behind the group, excluded. You've not made her big enough. It's a bit messy, too, like you said. And that makes me see only 5/6 expressions, which brings me to my next point. Every singly pony is sticking out her/his tongue. Come on. Couldn't you have given them a little variety? That, and they're all standing in the same position. I have never seen the real Mane Six stand like that, and even if they did, I'm sure they would've had different face expressions. The only one that I see that has a slightly different face expression is Sunset. So give variety! A person does not like to see picture after picture of the same emotion and same position. 

 

Now onto the compliments. You've made every hairstyle different, and you've made most of them wear clothes. That's variety. I like it. It gives me something slightly different to look at each time! Not to mention the proportions are right. 

 

Yeah, so, I'd like to see this cleaner, maybe? And wouldn't it look cool shaded!

xD The point of the picture was to make them all sticking their tongues out and standing in the exact same position.  But...that's my number one flaw for it in the end. xD

And Dawn Minuet there...wait!  Let me make up an excuse...

She likes to isolate herself!  Yes!  It works!

But anyway, I see your point.

 

Yes.  Their quite different personality wise as well!  (I got the proportions right?  YES!)

 

xD I'd like to do them individually.  (I'm always better like that!)

 

Thank you!

That's a good point I forgot about, it's always fun times when you try to draw more than one pony as the focus of the picture. 

Myself I always end up messing them up in some way or another. Odd sizes, getting more detail onto one and ignoring the others, forgetting something altogether...you did a pretty good job staying consistent with them, even if it does look like you copy-pasted their expressions
