akita-ken 581 February 22, 2013 Share February 22, 2013 (edited) EDIT: I now have an ugly animated GIF of it, in all it's 256 color glory (click to make it start ) Well now that I've got a job I rarely have time for ponies anymore.. an hour or two every night is barely enough to do anything, but one thing does let me destress, and that is drawing poniiiiiiiii I've been continuing to spend more time in SAI and the more I use it, the more I realize that it really is quite a fun program to use :3 Unlike doing vectors, raster really has the element of experimentation to create new effects in it. So I'm back here with a raster that I've finally tried shading properly based on advice on previous threads from both @Drahgoon and , and this time I'm showing some love to my OC whom I've been neglecting recently I don't know what I'll do with this piece at the moment though, I might turn it into an avvie.. but then again I was thinking of animating it in Flash for a signature.. Hmm. Well whatever. Please tell me what you think! Edited March 2, 2013 by akita-ken 8 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...
The Soldier 2,044 February 22, 2013 Share February 22, 2013 Drahgoon and Firebolt oughtta be proud, man. And the art itself is looking good. Though I don't have an idea of what those 3 glowing things are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're everywhere, just, so ubiquitous that everyone doesn't really notice the individual LEDs Signature to come soon. I think. Yeah. Once I think up a nice one. Or when someone makes one for me.

I gotta take a break from technology. But it's as addicting as ponies. Anyways, thanks for the info of what they are 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modphase 1,273 February 22, 2013 Share February 22, 2013 You did very good on him! I especially like the lighting and your shading technique. My only criticisms are that his eyes looks too rectangular and his body looks a little too big. Good work overall, 8/10. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akita-ken 581 March 2, 2013 Author Share March 2, 2013 Updated with a version where the LEDs are actually flashing as an ugly animated GIF that apparently Flash could only export in 256 color So retro 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...
The Soldier 2,044 March 2, 2013 Share March 2, 2013 That thing's ugliness is contagious! Burn it down! Burn it down now! On the more serious side, the gif isn't bad. I like how you illuminated the colors on your ponysona's face while different led lights lit up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drahgoon 152 March 2, 2013 Share March 2, 2013 Nice! I must say I really like your OC's design. Is he a ponysona, or just an OC? I'm glad you're finding drawing in SAI enjoyable. Hope to see more art from you soon! 1 My (old) Art thread: http://mlpforums.com/topic/41087-drahgoons-journey-through-art-updated-122212/My Line Art Request Thread: http://mlpforums.com/topic/44182-pony-lineart-requests-open/ (Closed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akita-ken 581 March 3, 2013 Author Share March 3, 2013 I thought it was supposed to be the RGB color sequence in digital technology... It does fit better that way, with the background being a circuit board and all It's a bit of both, really They're all interrelated, what you see as different coloured pixels on your computer screen are really just groups of RGB subpixels. Stadium LED screens for example use combined RGB leds to display almost any colour by mixing and matching the intensity or the R, G and B. In the same way you get an RGB slider in Photoshop or GIMP when selecting colours Nice! I must say I really like your OC's design. Is he a ponysona, or just an OC? I'm glad you're finding drawing in SAI enjoyable. Hope to see more art from you soon! Haha I've asked that question of myself many times too, and I'm still conflicted He is based off me (I do enjoy tinkering with LEDs and electronics IRL) and I do enjoy talking through him quite often so he's like a ponysona, but at the same time I want to have some creative freedom to make him more interesting as an OC. If I really had to chose though, I'd go with ponysona I wish I had more time to draw though Work doesn't leave much time for poni 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...
