Incredible dude! I should be inspired to take on my own style of how I see MLP but frankly I love the orginal style so much that Im trying to perfect it meh, maybe a hint of my own little traits here and there. But still hats off to you for making it your own!

My apologies to all of you for this delayed response.  I tend not to post on here unless I have something to show, but I also do not want to give the impression that I am ignoring anyone either.

 



Wow :D absolutely amazing! You draw so well I mean, I wish I could draw that good :P Im working on that though haha but anyway, even though they are sketches, they are just magnificent!

 

 

Thank you very much!  I am still learning though, so these are far from perfect.  If you draw, have you posted anything on the forums?  I would love to take a look.

 



Oh wow these are amazing!  :o

 

I think my pony art is good but, it comes nowhere close to yours, you gave them such grate facile expressions.

 

Thats something I have a really hard time with unfortunately. :P

 

Also, do you have a DeviantArt account, Id love to follow you on there if you do. 

 

Im really looking forward to seeing more of these if you decide to post more.  ;)

 

Thank you most sincerely and I do indeed plan to post more sketches once I catch up a little on my requests.  I feel facial expression are one of my weakest points, right next to hair...but that is what practice is for.  As for the a DA account, I do have one here  but it is still rather barren.

You are far too kind and I thank you for that.  Honestly, this 'style' I have just grew on its own so I cannot really explain how it formed.  And I would love to see your take on the show's style, as many have stayed within the show's artistic parameters but added a little something to make it there own.  Best of luck to you!

Hehe thanks for replying back, I appreciate every response whether its late or not I know some of us here have lives outside the internet lol!

 

Well me and a small group of ours started our own art thread, you been there already reminding the hostess of the thread not to post pony creator generated pics? Anyways been posting my own work on there lately, if its one thing I noticed about my style, much as I'm trying to match the orginal style of MLP theres one key factor I notice that makes it my own, that I make the heads and neck slightly buffer then the norm. I guess that little tweak is part of my own style hehe.

This time around, I honestly do not have much to show with the exception of a 'completed' request (which I thought turned out horribley):

as well as a couple sketches:

 

 post-3181-0-30810400-1379636131_thumb.png

 

 

A couple of these are just random ideas for an animation I would like to do but probably will never get around to.

 

I need to really start working on projects with a bit more substance, or at least more decent sketches....anyway, as always, let me know what you think.  And sorry in advance for the poor scans

And another set where I have little to show but I am going to put it up anyway.

 

The first is a recent request that I completed.  Still shows that I need a lot of work

 

 

 post-3181-0-27192000-1381028786_thumb.png

 

 

And the second is a generic composition of the Mane 6.  It is still a WIP and I wanted to be sure that I had all of the basic features correct before I proceeded with adding details such as hair, background and whatnot.  Again, shows I still need a lot of practice, especially with structuring compositions like this.  And poor Dashie, her head got cut off slightly.

As always, any critiques that anyone may have are greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

eyes seem slightly derped, not sure the highlight in his left eye would be permited by the mane.

Ohhh, now this got me exited. Maybe make Twilight's legs a bit less bendy,

Great art! I adore your work!

Your style is cool, too!

There is really nothing to say is bad at all, it's all just way too awesome! :wub:

Yes, I will concede that the eyes did not go as I wanted as he was supposed to be looking upward but he went a bit crosseyed in the process.  As for the highlight, I am not quite sure if it would be present or not.  I suppose it would depend on the angle of the light source.  Either way, it will have to be something that I consider more in the future.

 

I would suggest holding onto your excitement for the second one, as I am sure I will do something to muck it up at some point.  As for Twilight's legs (surprising you could tell that it was Twi), what I have now is just a place holder right now.

 

As always, thank you very much for your critiques.  I always seem to gain new insight every time you endulge me. 

 

D'aww I just love these ponies you've drawn! 

 

They're really great...and kind of remind me of a Disney-ish style. It's super duper awesome.

 

Great job and keep it up! I can't wait to see more from you!

 

It seems that is what everyone says about me drawings; I am starting to see a recurring theme here.  Anyway, thank you most sincerely for your kind words!

Those are a couple of my favorites as well, and I would love to do more of Sombra.  But thank you very much!  If you do draw, you should post some pictures here on the forums.  That is one of the best ways to improve is by gathering others' opinions.

 

Great art! I adore your work!

Thank you!  I truly do appreciate that!  My drawing techniques have certainly come a long way since I first tried to draw.  Hmm, maybe I should post some of my earlier work...then you can see a true abomination.

I do post the pictures i draw on the forums, i just have not drawn in a very long time, my topic is like 20 pages down in the fan art section:

@Lost

 

That would be the reason as to me not seeing your thread.  My apologizes.  It took me a while to look through all that you had, but all of them were not bad at all so kudos to you!  I do hope you decide to post some more of your drawings sometime.

 

Anyway, I do not have much to show at this point, with the exception of an update on the last picture I posted.  And to be honest...I have my doubts I will finish it.  Do not ask me why.  Perhaps it is failing to reach what I originally envisioned, or maybe I have already mucked it up as I said I would before.  I cannot say.  My mind is a mess right now, so that could be a factor as well.  Regardless, if anyone has any thoughts or opinions to help me to piece together my reservations on this one, I would appreciate it  Thank you

Your style is truely amazing that I really have nothing to say in regards to critcing other then to ask you if you are sure you want to go forward with animating it in particular? It would just seem difficult to animate characters as complex as that, but thats if your doing it on your own, but then again Ive heard of people doing that all the time. More power to you if you can animate that style, its truely amazing.

@Lightning Bliss

 

First of all, thank you kindly for you encouraging words as I do greatly appreciate them.  Second, I am rather surprised that you were aware of my interesting in animating, as I do not believe I have said that anywhere on the forums.  Or, at least as far as I know.  But, if I do plan on moving ahead with any such animation project, it will most likely be done solo and with the art style displayed.

 

Thank you again!

.I have my doubts I will finish it

Oh, please do; it looks fantastic. That Pinkie is just adorabe.

Maybe correct Twi's legs a bit; as it is she looks rooted in place.

Goodness, I only just realized how long it has been since I last posted on here.  Not that I have much worth posting and showing, as I feel my art has gone severely downhill since November.  

 

Regardless, here are a few sketches that I feel are at least halfway decent and that are not complete rubbish (though I apologize for the pictures' poor quality).  As always, please feel free to let me know what you think and any critiques that you may have.  Thank you.

Glad we finally get to see some of your stuff again.

I especially love Aj  and Applebloom, would love to see that one expanded upon (or failing that a RD/Scootaloo one).

As for critique...erm I guess Luna's neck is a bit thick where it meets her head, but that could just be me.

It has been far too long in my eyes and I should have never let that chunk of time slip away.

 

Regardless, you have my sincerest thanks once again your time and compliments.  I am actually working on a sketch of Dash and Scootaloo right now to complete the 'set,' as it were.  Whether it turns out well...I suppose we will see on that matter.

 

I can see what you mean about Luna's neck, so your critique in not unwarranted and that should be simple to adjust.  Thank you again Silverwisp

I love your style! And I love to see new stuff.. ^^

 

Thank you most sincerely!  I truly do appreciate it and I can only hope that I do not disappoint with future works,

 

In an attempt to improve my speed while sketching, I have started to take random OCs from friends on both the forums and my Skype contacts and drawing a bust sketch in about 4-6 minutes each.  I actually acquired this idea from a deviation by Earthsong4905 on DA (if you are unfamiliar with this artist, she is one that I would highly recommend looking up;  I can promise that you will not be disappointed).

 

 

 post-3181-0-32039400-1391297735_thumb.png

 

 

For the first small batch, from left to right, I have , @LunarGuard, @Lucky Lass, and @AmarisNsane.  If anyone is offended that I drew their OCs without their permission, I will more than happy to take this down as it was not my intention to cross any lines.  I also wish to extent apologizes if I did not do any of your OCs justice with these sketches.  I simply thought that this would be both a fun and helpful exercise and I could create art for those I would like to call friends.  If anyone has any comments, please feel free to share them.  

 

And one final apology for how messy this is.  Much improvement is needed.

Who would be offended that you drew their OC? I certainly wouldn't! :P

 

Those look great! Nice job. :)

 

There are some that are highly protective of their work and the OCs that they have created, and I cannot find fault if they would be less-than-pleased with my free use of them.  Even if for simple practice, these OCs belong to their creators and I ultimately have no right to their use without the creator's expressed permission.  Trust me when I say that I have seen where this road can lead.

 

And I wish to thank you for your kind words once again.  I am hoping to make more of these, as this exercise is such a great personal tool for me to improve my work

Ah alright. I gotcha. :3

 

No problem though! ^^

If you'd like to practice and draw my OC I wouldn't mind... lol. ;P

 Oh hey, sorry i never replied to you, but yes i actually did post a couple of drawings. They aren't every good, not nearly as good as yours, but i had posted them a while ago, and i think I've gotten better since then :)

If youd like to check them out, heres the thingy: http://mlpforums.com/topic/72740-my-ocs-mare-and-stallion-both-unfinished/  

 

But, I have a question: Do you think if i sent you a picture of my two newest OCs, could you draw them for me please? 

I've only just started getting what they look like and stuff, so i haven't actually done much with them, but i would love to see a drawing of them by someone who has talent like yours :D

So if you can, you could message me or whatever you feel like doing :P
