Mikestar 346 June 17, 2013 Share June 17, 2013 Very early stages of coloring Fluttershy, but getting there, as my eyes cross like Derpy! Thought you might like to see how it progresses and (hopefully) improves. LOL It's one of my fav Fluttershy moments.

Mikestar 346 June 17, 2013 Author Share June 17, 2013 Ok slow progress but having plenty of distractions LOL Plus, well no fancy equipment here. just me and my mouse!

Soundgarden 2,758 June 17, 2013 Share June 17, 2013 If I may give you some criticism: Angel's eyes look very distraught, like if he's staring in the air (that's if those two dots in his eyes are his pupils) Fluttershy's colours look a bit off and blurry and the outlines in her mane doesn't have a consistent colouring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikestar 346 June 17, 2013 Author Share June 17, 2013 yeah the outlines of her mane are part of the original scan, gotta color over it. the bunny is also the original sketch. kind of not going for the 'animated' look so wanted to add some shading and paint style but taking the colours directly from a still shot so if they look wrong to you, they prob look diff on my screen. Drawing it based on an actual still from the series, but making it arty. Or else might as well just post the still if i don't make it original. Don't mind the criticism, it's a work in progress. They go through some pretty 'off' stages before they come together. She's having a bad hair day at the moment. Mike.

Friendship_Cannon 1,676 June 17, 2013 Share June 17, 2013 (edited) Wow... You really caught this well, Fluttershy looks totally desperate and sad... I actually really like the coloring as well as the shading and the positioning as well. The wing could just have one more feather maybe, though and Angler just looks a tiny bit derp, but very caring at the same time! Lovely drawing, all my props!

Mikestar 346 June 17, 2013 Author Share June 17, 2013 (edited) I think her other feather is kinda hidden under her hair, but anyways... too tired to do much more tonight. Sorta hafta leave poor flutter half done and Angel not started. These things take like... DAYS to finish. heh. the background is usually a night mare! Work on it more tomorrow. TY for encouragements. Still kinda learning to paint in photoshop and only using a mouse to do this with. Hitting the hay Mikestar O.K. so.... latest update. Thought I'd better do something with Angels eyes cuz everyone was so like... (freaky dramatic music goes here) OMG MIKESTAR what are you doing to us.... those eyes... those eyes... Aaaaaaarrrrrgggg!!! Pinkie Pie: "Make that bunny cuter NOW!" (not just here mind you, showed this to some others and they were also like.... eeeeeeeeep!) So... to alleviate the forums nightmares... I started coloring Angel a bit, (though obviously not finished) and he looks about... say... 20% cooler but I'm still not 100% happy but... well... MEH! I'll get back to it. And, taking Han Yolo's advice, took another look at Flutters wing and improved it. so brohoof to Han I'm also blending and tweaking the shading and colors. (Ty Chiaki) Oh yeah and added some tears but they are hard to see at the moment. Bear in mind... it's still a LONG way from finished but starting to come together a weeeeeee bit more. Also included a small image of the inspiration shot (in the lower left corner) so you can see where it's coming from. Oh and.... well here is the scene I'm trying to depict. WARNING: Set your cutometers to zero, Fasten your seatbelts, remain seated and have your emergency safety jackets on hand before watching this video. No smoking. Ok so... at this stage you might be thinking... OMG!OMG!OMG!OMG!OMG!!!!!! (Faint) or you may be thinking "Hey yo, I'm cool, calm and collected" but regardless... that is my inspiration for this art. So TY for the input/advice cuz it's helping heaps! Really wanna improve my art cuz this is like... the first MLP FiM art I've attempted to actually complete. Yay!

The colouring looks looks better and makes a lot more sense and outlines are consistent and pleasent to look at. Overall, it feels very smooth and the colours adds to the sad atmosphere you were trying to achieve. Great job on this one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikestar 346 June 18, 2013 Author Share June 18, 2013 Ok so... as a recap, this is where it started.... Which is basically a pencil sketch, some outlines in markers, Scanned in and a quick fill with a paint bucket. The final result.... (Drum roll) Ta da! So yeah, added some "mood" into the background. Pretty happy with end result. Thus completes my first Brony art. Better stop here or it will get over done! (there are still things I could probably change) Hope you enjoyed sharing in the process.

This is one of my favorite scenes from the show, and dang I'm absolutely stunned by this. I liked your first version of the picture right away, but as I scrolled down I noticed you began changing it up. This last one though is so amazing, honestly. I think adding that background really added a lot to your picture. Fantastic job, and if you don't mind I'm going to save this picture onto my computer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of never intended it to stay like the first one. Thinking of making a video of the progression of this one. I have a few idea's about it. Had a blast doing it, though yeah, was frustrating outlining Fluttershy's hair! Takes ages. The background behaved itself from the beginning. I generally hate doing backgrounds but this one was sorta fun. Glad you enjoyed it.
