Heya /art/!
I have this friend, this friend you see.
And they are being quite stubborn about getting help with finding good, free programs for sketching and art. So I'm making this thread so they don't have to!

That's why I suggested My Paint. It leans more towards the intuitive, expressive, creative side of things than GIMP.

Does your friend have a tablet?

Sorry, I fell asleep last night, heh.
As far as I know they don't... And yeah, they seem to have taken to inkscape to my immediate knowledge

Upon further studies I retract my accusation. This is indeed not photoshooped, it is merely very very crisp.

Fine job, good sir. I would not usually congratulate someone on grafitti, but this is quite well done and inoffensive.

Disregard title. I am not good with image board. First time using one, actually, but I'm sure everyone here is very kind and forgiving people that enjoy doing random acts of kindness for their fellow man. And dolphins will learn to fly into space and colonize the moon.

Random aside aside, I've been thinking about posting some of my art on a board somewhere, might as well be today as any other day. My current project isn't relevant to the show everyone around here seems to like, so here's a slightly dated project, only about a month or so old. Tell me what you think, or don't, I don't mind. I'm pretty underground myself, bro. (inb4 some kneejerk cringing at the word 'bro', this isn't Gran Torino)

Anyways, that's my first post, hope I'm doin' it riet.

>I suppose some people are just faint of heart.
I'd say you have some full blown uncanny valley-going on. The whole head is somewhat disturbing, particularly the eye.

The manly-man body doesn't really suit Twilight, being a wizardy, scholar type. And a girl. That's not uncanny-valley weird, though, it just doesn't seem to suit her.

The latissimus dorsi seems to extend rather far down the arm.

The unguligrade legs are kind of an awkward adaptation. I could redline a suggestion, if you like.

There's one streak of shadow on the inner thigh that really jumps out. Aside than that, I like the soft shading and textures on this.

The look and the pose are intentional. I rather thought it was obvious considering the massive prestige behind the original piece.

The original didn't have an anthropomorphic lavender unicorn as a subject. That difference creates a certain incompatibilities that look rather disturbing.

Also, Michalangelo was a master: he's kind of a hard act to follow.

*clears throat* Ehem, It's been a while Ponychan. But to say I'm back might be a bit of an over statement. Still, I'm here with new pictures, so why not!

My tags say I'm taking requests, however know that I will not take every request I'm given and it will most likely end up being just a sketch. Not out of choice however, I have a very busy life and can't draw all the pony I want to!

Still, feel free to request! I used to be known for OC requests back in the day. Some canon pony requests would go down nicely too!

Ah yes, my newest picture, Celestia and Luna in sweaters. I've wanted to do it for a long time!
Enjoy!

If you don't find anyone who can do what you need, drop me an email and I may be able to do something for you. I've got a pretty steep pile of work on my desk, though, so it might take me a while to find time to do it.

What I have for you people today is a demo of a much larger project that I plan on working on. What is this exactly? Well, this is going to be a storybook retelling of the first two episodes from the first season. The demo includes a link to a journal entry that I made which was pretty much explains what this is going to be about. For this post, I'll make a nice little summary:

---Even though this will be a retelling of the first two episodes, I'm hoping to make it different. As the demo shows, the narrator is reading this story to a child. The main part of this storybook comic/flash is going to get the reader to decide whether or not this story is: Fiction or Non-fiction; told by ponies or humans; whether this is the past, present, or future; and even if the child is a boy or a girl. This will be up to you to decide. I know this is a small aspect of the story but I'm hoping to have it add to the story.

---The comic will be done in a certain style that kind of looks like crayon drawings or a storybook style. I find it hard to explain but it's a style that looks a bit different. A fairly good example would be looking at this drawing: http://aruigus808.deviantart.com/art/EE-Rarity-002-From-Season-3-spoiler-334061296
It'll look somewhat like that.

I know it's not really a lot but I plan on doing ALL of the two episodes. This demo alone took me quite a while. I'm hoping to get some general feedback on this and whether or not this will be good. If you want to help out, then go to the journal page(http://aruigus808.deviantart.com/journal/MLP-Storybook-DEMO-Journal-341791129) and read towards the bottom of the page. I give some ways that you might be able to help.

So, here's the demo:
>> No. 119225
Well, now... this looks like an ambitious little project. :3

Took a look a the demo. Love the illustration style. I'll reserve comments on the artwork 'til I see more, but it looks good. Very apropos for a storybook and compliments the source material.

The navigation was rather sparse by comparison, and the solid white background with solid black divisions were a bit distracting.

I did find myself looking for a "back" button more than once.

Took me a moment to realize that there was more than one voice in the narration. The two fonts are similar enough that I didn't notice the difference between them at first (should have clued in during the hallway intro).

This was pretty much enjoyable all around, and any rough edges are pretty much due to the early stage of development. Looking forward to more! :3

Well, I'm looking for critique on my two (!) pony drawings. Please critically scathe them, as long as you have useful advice. Let's start with the more recent one.

My interpretation of Babs Seed's sister. This is Market Fresh. Her cutie mark is a farmer's stand. She's bossy and has a Brooklyn accent. That's pretty much it.

*sigh*

This actually looked good before I tried to color it.

Hi Tank Buster! Welcome to /art/, assuming you're indeed new. I like that you're drawing. Keep it up! You can only get better. I hope you stick around.

>>118909
This one looks really nice to me! The hooves that are further away actually look like it, and I like the shape of the eye. I might have made the tail longer but that's just personal preference. Don't worry too much about the coloring, it's hard to get traditional material to look as nice as digitally colored stuff. I personally think it looks fine anyway.

>>118910
Chrysalis is so hard to draw, in my opinion. The legs look a bit too thin. Try using more references!
>> No. 119031

Thanks, I think that the back legs are too thin at the thigh, too.

Hey m'brones.
I've been doing commissions for quite a while now, had a lot of customers but lately this one person has been hammering me about the price?... I dont know if I should believe this person, or if they just don't get that art isn't something you can just generically pump out of a machine I guess.... So yeah, feeling kinda devalued but I do want to take this into consideration. I've made a poll here but just replying to the thread with your opinions is good enough.

Thanks so much man, I hardly even expected to get a word in as thorough as this, I really appreciate it!

I just used the painting of Celestia because it's one of the few paintings of MLP's I've made that wasn't a commission of a character that belonged to someone (y' know, permission issues ). The way I painted the mane in that picture wasn't everyone's favourite, but at least I did the experimenting on my own painting, and not one for someone else hehe.

Mostly people just want a picture of their pony on the blank/transparent background. Which is why so many of the examples are just that, so a value on that would be ok.
You're very right though. Not only does it take time and effort for the painting to be made, but there has been those hours upon hours of effort put learing to be experienced that comes into what a person is buying - ie. the end all Skill level.

In terms of fanbase, ehh... I have 1,401 subscribers on my Youtube channel (a channel for mostly My Little Pony Speed Painting videos), 1,716 followers on my Deviantart. This could be added to equation, I guess you're thinking of measuring demand?

Anyway, thanks again! /)

Demand, and market. The more people you have following you, the better the chances that one of them is willing to pay premium prices for premium work.

I like your range. Cascade's watery mane/tail, the metallic shine on Dreamweaver 2's collar, Nether's red lightning... there's lots of different materials and textures in your work. Even the hair varies in luster from character to character.

There's a variety of poses and facial expressions, both subdued and energetic, I love seeing this. It does a lot to bring out the personality of the character.

The lighting is fairly limited. Most everything is rendered with a very soft, ambient light. There are very few sharply defined shadows, none of the scenes have warm, cool, or harsh lighting, nor is there a clearly defined direction. The lighting primarily serves to add definition the shapes, materials, and textures (which it does very effectively), without adding to the mood and ambiance.

Uncanny Valley, ahaha yeah, sometimes some of my pony art freaks me out just because that ahaha. I always try to do whatever to ease up on that. I've been drawing the shoulders as they were for expression enhancing. I would have inspired that habit "Pony Shrug" meme I suppose? They're kinda cat like looking now that look at it I'll do some more RL horse reffing. I do draw real equines as well, just reaaaallly need to brush up.

Yeah, I would definitely like to work with different lighting, you're right about it being always the same, soft lighting. I just hope more people ask for Backgrounds in the future (surveying as I go, mostly people seem to want these transparent to make Wallpapers or icons or Forum signatures or whatever with them). Otherwise it's kinda useless making moody lighting on a character with no background.. either way I do have one commission I'm working on that's got a background with it, so see me on the flipside once I test myself through it within the next week or so!

You're right though, I'm god awful at wings! :P The only times I've ever needed to draw them were for Pegasus horses.. and with this I always anticipate for the next time someone asks me to draw their pegasi/alicorns >___< Thanks for the wing tutorial link though! I owe a lot to Majnouna's tutorials for teaching me human anatomy so onto working with wings now :) Thanks again, taking the time to right out a well meaning response like this is something I haven't received in years, to be frank. This is very refreshing to see and I thoroughly appreciate it!

Hi,

I started drawing ponies about 2 months ago. I started off with EQD's last Artist Training Ground objective list and did one every day. Right now I'm working on my own story. Although I checked the "Comics"-box, I'd rather call it a series of illustrations. Since I don't want to immediately spam this thread, I'll post one of my sketches and leave my dA profile here (well, for now at least...maybe I'll spam later ^^).

Ok, here me out here /art/. I found this thread on /mlp/, and it is amazing what has happened. Several drawfriends have already created art work for this 6 year old girl's OC out of the kindness in their hearts, as posted below. So I ask you /art/, will you continue this and make one little brony incredibly happy?
