Argent Artique 47 October 13, 2013 Share October 13, 2013 (edited) So... I wanted to know what people think about my first official, finished and custom made vector! I was originally going to post this on Deviant Art, but my account was banned and deactivated for unknown reasons. I'll just be posting it here for the community to see and critique it. It is all custom made by me. "Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe." - Abraham Lincoln. I followed that idea for a while and basically applied it to almost anything. The armor is the Elite Knight set from Dark Souls, a favorite game of mine that I care for dearly. I tried to give it the same style that the show has, without any extra pretty effects. (mainly because I don't know how to add them). The pony is actually my OC, I wouldn't toss any random pony into a nice set of armor. It was made in Ponyscape, a vectoring software based on Inkscape that makes it easier to vector ponies. Which was originally created by Flutterguy317. I'd highly recommend it to anyone who's interested in vectoring some ponies. Anyways, tell me what you think! This should not be on Deviant Art! Please, at least ask me permission before downloading! I do not want any plagiarizers or copy cats! If you see any please notify me!

Bronyette 835 October 13, 2013 Share October 13, 2013 Very nice, and what a cute OC you have! I can't see anything wrong at all or anything that jumps out as incorrect. The metal highlights just look awesome! Keep up the good work. 1 Click on the Banner for more info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dsanders 5,750 October 13, 2013 Share October 13, 2013 It looks great! I'm really impressed. I like the overall character design of your OC and he looks adorable in his epic knight armor. The only thing that seems kinda off is how his back leg on the right looks slightly bigger than the one on the left side. I also notice how the thin outline of the back leg on the left is gray and not gray-bluish like the one on the right. If you can fix that, then it would just look perfect! Then again, I can't do anywhere as near of a good job as you can. Plus I'm OCD when it comes to details like this. Great job though! Keep up the good work! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really appreciate all the feedback. Something a bit in depth is quite useful, like this. I have OCD, so I know how that is too. As well as Severe Anxiety, such a nasty combination (but thank you Internet!). To my amaze, the topic practically exploded. I'm surprised because a while back, a new topic would have to snowball over time. Glad to see the community is growing though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised because a while back, a new topic would have to snowball over time. Glad to see the community is growing though. Glad you appreciate the feedback. I thought I might as well look more closely at the art people do for once, and try to point out the little slipups, just so the artists can improve from that point on. Glad I could help though. I get a little anxious at times too, so I can somewhat relate with you there. Yeah, the community grows more and more each day now. You shouldn't be surprised, your work is amazing, so of course people would want to compliment and give their feedback on it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen anything quite this level in a while, in fact, DA were just too jelly. Dare I enquire as to how long this took? Thanks! I appreciate the feedback and appraisal. I do believe I have gotten faster at vectoring. I don't show many works, completed usually. I'm somewhat like Leonardo da Vinci when it comes to downsides. Taking too much time and rarely finishing any works. Sadly, the day when I was going to post this on DA was when I got banned. As of time consumption. It took about a week, but not of constant work. Probably a total of 4 to 6 hours. The hardest part was coming up with the (Elite Knight) armor design. The design of it, constantly tweaking it. Trying to implement the style and characteristics of the show to the armor; it was made entirely from scratch. So that was the bottleneck of this creation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapphire Quill 1,186 October 14, 2013 Share October 14, 2013 This is absolutely stunning, I mean wow. I'm quite speechless, I wanted to ask, would you be open to commissions any time soon? I'd love some of your work. This is really just amazing, and I love the style, and the uniqueness. 1 ✧ Made by Azura, Much Appreciated ✧ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just PM me, and I'll see what I can do. However, I will only be working on one vector per time; to have a nice steady flow and reduce stress. So first come first serve in a way. I'll do what I can; it may take some time, but I'll try to demonstrate my skills at best! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
