Spitfire and Fluffle Puff

[SkyBound 829]

So, while I was at Bronycon (which was so awesome), I had the chance to draw a few things in between panels and I thought I would share what I got.  The first was a little piece that I drew for a friend that went with me, which was just a quick sketch of Fluffle Puff and Chrysalis.  Since she is a huge fan of Fluffle Puff, she liked it.  What was stranger is that she got it signed by the guy who created Fluffle Puff (not sure of his name, sorry!) for some reason.

 

 

 

 

 

The next one was a challenge, but also quite enjoyable as it was colored pencil on black paper which I had never tried previously.  At first, I wanted to draw Fluttershy but to my dismay it seems that I did not have a pink colored pencil with me.  So, naturally, I went down the list of all of the yellow-colored ponies and I settled upon Spitfire instead.  

 

After I had finished it, I had the crazy idea of actually giving it to the artist who goes by the name of Spitfire, which is one of my favorite pony artists.  If you have not seen here work, be sure to look it up as she is an awesome artist and a great person.  Anyway, I was a little nervous about me, a mediocre artist at best, giving my drawing to an established artist such as herself.  To my relief and glee, she absolutely loved it and even gave me a hug!  I am sure she was just being nice, but still it was a pleasant experience.

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway, sorry for such a long post for just two pictures as I just returned home from the convention and I am still winding down.  If anyone has any comments, please feel free to share them!

Darn mobile keeps kicking me out before it will let me post on this topic. x-x This is the third time.

 

Well. With that beside, I think your artwork is very lovely and in no way mediocre. The pose and coloring on the Spitfire one is more than spectacular. I'm very surprised I havent seen you around on the forums beforehand, actually.

 

When it comes to art, I like to think of how far I've come rather than how far I have to go. Just by this I can honestly say your art must have come a long way to get where you are. Be proud of that.

First of all, thank you very much for both the compliment and the words of encouragement as it means a great deal to me.  And do not worry about never seeing me before; I am a rather quite person on here, as I seem to mainly only post what drawings I produce, though I am striving to change that.

 

By mediocre, I meant in comparison to the artist Spitfire, though I would have said mediocre either way.  Honestly, it is artists like her that drive me to become better and practice each day.  I would not say my work has come a very long way, but it has improved over these past two years.  

 

And since I cannot say it nearly enough, thank you again!

Holy crap, in what universe are those mediocre? I can't draw to save my life, even though I have some pretty awesome materials at home and on my laptop, I just can't figure out how to use them. They're absolutely gorgeous!!

Holy cow man, for sketches pretty much on the go, these are fantastic!  Don't sell yourself short, these are really wonderful sketches, and I'm glad you shared them with us!  Also glad you had what sounds like a wonderful time at BronyCon!!!  Glad you got back safe and sound, and once again thanks for sharing! 

[SkyBound 829]

Thank you very much!  For drawing, it comes down to practice and tenacity; just never give up!  I am sure you are selling yourself short with your drawings but so long as you are enjoying it, that is what matters.

 

You are far too kind.  I have been told many times that I am overly critical about my work to a devastating fault so you will have to pardon that from me.  Just out of curiosity, what type of materials do you have?

 

@Batbrony

I should be the one thanking you; I truly do appreciate what you said here.  As I mentioned to Almighty Alicorn, I am highly judgmental about my work, which I am trying to change for the better.  And Bronycon was a true delight; an absolutely lovely weekend.  I am already planning on attending next year and I have a couple goals I wish to achieve by that time.

Muffin?!  Thank you! /)

 

Anyway, thank you very much!  I honestly did not think they were that great, but I seem to be in the minority on that.  And Bronycon was an absolute blast and if you get the chance to go, take it!  I know I am already saving for next year.

Wow, you drew your friend a Fluffle puff drawing, with chrysalis, and then got it signed to? That is like so awesome, i'm sure she loved it so much .

 

And the other Spitfire drawing is real well done aswell, its awesome you got a hug, i'm sure that meant alot from your favorite artist haha .

 

Glad you have a good time at bronycon! Keep up the good work!

me, a mediocre artist at best,

Pull the other one, its got bells on.

 

Anyway these are both great, as usual.

 

I would slap a considerable amount of Justin Bieber fans to see the first pic colourized.

 

The second one is impressive, considering you art style does not exactly lend itself to Spitfire's mae. The wing positioning seems a bit odd though.

Wow really great stuff, the sketch has some great detail, would love to see it coloured, and Spitfire looks good!

 

Love your art! ^^

@Silverwisp the Bard

Thank you very much Silverwisp, I truly do appreciate your kind words.  If I do indeed get the opportunity, I will try to get the first sketch colored, as you are not the first to mention it.

 

Yes, I suppose I may have rushed the wings a bit and I am not expert in the area either.  Honestly, I am surprised that turned out as well as they did; could have been much worse!

 

Again, thank you very much!

 

Thank you Chaos!  You are far too kind!
