So... just to ask, since I didn't see either word itself in there:

Are you saying you're taking requests? (As opposed to just suggestions)

Yep, you say it, I do it

>>109374

Awesome!
Challenge accepted.

Could you perhaps draw Azure here leaning against a rock or tree or something, relaxing and chewing on a piece of hay?

>>109374
Oh hey, well could I get one of Circuit with a gum bubble popped over his face, struggling to get it off?

Finished the sketches for these two, but the connexion here sucks and It's really late so I'll post the colored results tomorrow, have a good night!

Hey, you're back.

Request: Pinkie Pie

>>109376

Finished this one, working on the others, pardon my speed

>>109414

Looks great! Thank you very much!

If he isn't too much trouble, could I request a little of Six here?

I'd like to see him either bucking or stomping about. Or whatever is easiest for you!

>>109426

And here's his cutie mark I really need to make a full reference page for him

>>109378

Here is this one

>>109382

Yeah, I'm back, and working on yours

>>109426

I'll start this one too

Whoa I lost a lot of pratice

>>109438
Heh, I love it, thanks for doing it!

>>109382

Here is Pinkie, thanks everypony by the way.

And almost no one requests the mane characters, that's weird.

>>109426

Drawing this one

>>109462

No rush on my account! I'm eager to see what you do with him :D

>>109462
I know, right? That's why I chose PPie.

Next: Rarity

Okay, I'm gonna make my more outrageous request first...

Can you ponify Alice?

>>109473

I reeeally don't think I may be able to pull that one off, sorry,don't want to let you down with something I'm obviously going to take the charm out of.

Anything else I might do?

Haven't seen you in a while{ how you've been?

Oh and I'm coloring these:

>>109426
>>109467

>>109478
I have had better days, I must admit. I am currently in the hospital with my mother, who fractured a part of her spine and will be having surgery come Monday. How have you been?

All right - would you, perhaps, be willing to draw North Star with a valved lead pipe slung over his shoulder and a very particular 'guess who is about to get their flank kicked into glue' smirk? I would prefer a darker sort of shading for this one - I need this image for purposes of pure malice.

Here is the vector you made for me a while back, in case you need it! =D

>>109426

Here is yours!

>>109490

I can do that, I'll have it by tomorrow with this one: >>109467

We'll I've been so so, I got my major, But my job is ultra boring, I got frustrated with my drawings because I feel I'm really old and should have started like 10 years ago, by the way, send your mother my best regards!

>>109498

Sorry, I derped, here's the good one

>>109498
I appreciate it, on all counts of sentiments and favors ^.^

And, nah - you're never too old. You stop growing when you die.

>>109498
Growing old is inevitable. Growing up is optional.

According to greek philosophy, life is short and brutal, so we might as well enjoy it while we can, and create along the way art to make it bearable.

Everypony's gotta eat, but man was not meant to live on bread alone.

Are you looking for comments/critque/feedback?

>>109514

Any is welcome really, would help me know what I can do better, and I know you're good for that.

But yeah regarding what I said, I'm past my twenties, I remember wanting to draw when I was like 11 I or 13 I think, but I guess geology got in there, I'm a really good geophysicist, but I haven't nailed this yet I' afraid.

>>109502
Thank you! He looks great! Thank you so much a thousand times!

>>109519
I was lucky, me ma taught me life drawing when I was twelve or so.

I'm 29, and wasted about twelve solid years of my life on videogames. Since I went cold turkey on those, art has pretty well been my sole driving purpose in life.

When I was in my early twenties, I asked myself "ten years from now, what am I going to wish I'd spent the last ten years doing?" Then I started doing it. :3

I ramble, though. Commentary and critique will have to wait, it's late and I'm bagged ATM.

>>109467

Wanted to post this one yesterday, but I guess my internet is such a douche, have a Rarity.

>>109547

No, thank you sir

>>109559

What I would give to have somepony in person teach me, the little I know I learned it by myself (and by watching frames from the show, oh and by watching SB's sketches, the problem is I can see clear as day what I'm doing wrong, but I just don't know how I can make it better, I think I'll say more f that when I post Piruettes's. I have book for drawing humans, but I'm saving that for later.


And I'm drawing this one >>109490

Hello,I wanted to see if you could do some OCs for me. I don't have any existing images for them though other than some messing around on the Ponycreator for you to go off of..

>>109570
Nice, but you forgot her eye shadow!

Next one if you want something to do: Applejack

Any chance you could take a crack at drawing this hulking Pegasus? He's has a "jolly old man" personality if that helps with the drawing process or whatever the term is :P

whoa, so many requests,I'll close them for now, don't want to leave anypony hanging, will be working on all of these so stand by and thank you for your patience

I'm really sorry this one took so long, I've been planning something and it consumes most of my time.

Working on this ones

>>109578 (I never do Rarity's eye shadow, don't know why, one of the things I really need to straighten up)

>>109578

And >>109576 I can only do one, so think carefully.

>>109559
And by the way fox, if you read this,I really need help on deciphering some poses, would it be okay if ask for your advice?

>>109598
Oooh! That's wicked, Bluesy! I'm really seeing your style coming out with this latest batch of drawings - before, they felt a little bit conservative and clingy to the show style. This is just plain awesome!

>>109598

Ok, I have one picked out for you. How would you like to go about it?

>>109608

Oh, just post the image of the pony creator if you want, anything else you want to add is fine too, just make sure your OC isn't super hyper complicated, like zebra patterns with weird colours, long legs and tiny bodies, huge wings and weird horns, I can do those, but I can't do them in one pony... sorry I rambled, I'm sure your OC is okay.

>>109578
Finished Applejack, trying colour correction

>>109586
Coloring this one

Requests are still closed >>109608 this will be the last one for now.

>>109603

I've gone ways since those days, but I got a longer one to do yet

Oh, hey, Bluelolz! How's it been, man?
Hehe, it's been a while since you did a request for me a while back.

>>109619

Is a paint pattern ok? The one I'd like done is Atlas, the one on the right, but you can do Gaia on the left instead if it's easier.

Finished >>109586 got a little practice with a different build.

>>109635

Yes I think I can do him, but Im not sure if the pattern will look fine, I'm going to see if I can make him look better, if not, I'll do the best I can.

>>109622
Yeah, a good while,I look at that vector and I know I can make something better, I think I can make him together with this one >>109635

Requests are closed for real now, after I'm done with those I will NOT reopen them until Tuesday or Wednesday, but you can still come in to destroy me say hi or offer suggestions, critique etc. but requests will be ignored after this post sorry

>>109641

Ok, thanks. Just have him sitting on a cloud or something with a friendly smile. But just in case and you want to do Gaia instead just have her using her magic to grow a sapling. You can leave out the vests also.

>>109641
Well, you don't have to do anything more with him if you don't want to. I was mostly checking in to say hi! But I wouldn't be opposed to getting another pic, so it's up to you, in the end. If you're swamped with other requests and such, then you can toss my character out the window, if you'd like, hehe.
If you'd like critique, then I suppose I could toss some your way from here on out, but I'm absolutely bucking terrible quite amateur at critiquing art, so you most likely won't get much out of me.

>>109641
>MINE COUNTENANCE WHEREUPON
Awesome! Thanks a ton ^_^

show accurate ponies XDXDXDXD !!!!1!!!!1!

Sorry for not being around today, urgent situations called for my absence, so my schedule is a complete mess so....

The two pending requests will be done by tomorrow, then requests will probably be reopened on thursday or friday, my apologies for the delays.

>>109775

You're welcome

>>109785

In fact, I'm flattered, It's not my intention to make them show accurate, as I try to differentiate them from the show, I try to make the heads less rounder in the cheeks, the ears more pointed and the hooves longer, also I try to make the bodies slender.

But of course all of them are done with varying results, and I really appreciate your comment

>>109805
I loooooooooove your style! Ahem. Excuse me...

Here is this one, I was in a really good mood when I drew this one >>109643

Colouring this one
>>109635

>>109822
Ur awesome too verzi, keep up the pace!

>And by the way fox, if you read this,I really need help on deciphering some poses, would it be okay if ask for your advice?
Certainly! Either here or over e-mail is good for me.

Sorry I'm taking so long. Some critique is less straight forward than others, and I end up having to mull things over for a little while. Noticing something is easy, sorting out what's going on and putting it into words is hard.

One thing that stands out is the nose and eyes. In a 3/4ths view, the bridge of the nose doesn't overlap the far eye. This does a couple things.

The eye gets a sort of bulging look, because it curves inward at the bottom. I notice in the show that they try not to show too much of the forehead because it makes this worse.

Since the point of the nose is level with the bottom of the near eye, the cheek and jaw end up blocky. If the eye came below the nose, it would break up the block.

The face looks flatter. Having stuff on top of other stuff adds depth, if the nose overlaps the eye it creates and additional "layer."

The eyes also tend to be very close together, and it's kinda dworky looking. I'm guessing that's deliberate, though. :3

Anyway, hope that helps some. There's one or two other points that come to mind, but I'm still mulling them over.

Oh, here is this guy, getting the colours right was fun, but pardon the cutie mark, I have zero artistic talent for that.

>>109856

First of all, I thank you for your time.

>Since the point of the nose is level with the bottom of the near eye, the cheek and jaw end up blocky. If the eye came below the nose, it would break up the block. The face looks flatter. Having stuff on top of other stuff adds depth, if the nose overlaps the eye it creates and additional "layer."

I think you've given me a really valuable advice, I got better just by taking this into account, I considered this on the current picture, I tried to make the snout overlap a little more with the right eye, it looks better but I certainly need more practice.

>The eyes also tend to be very close together, and it's kinda dworky looking.

You're completely right, I used to look at the show for the eyes, but I realized that in their 3/4 view, one of the eyes is really big and is almond shaped,and I thought it looked a little freakish, I watched other of my favourite cartoons to see how they made the eyes, so the result was that and I'm really happy with how they look MOST of the time.

Now this makes me move to my real problem, and I think it's caused because of the way I draw the 3/4 head: The front view, the rear view and the 3/4 view from behind, I really don't have any actual idea of what goes where, so if you can give me some advice on that it would be most welcome.

If you prefer sending me anything by mail, it's always displayed there, but you'd have to note me about it, as I don't check it often.

Best regards and Requests will be opened on Friday probably.

>>109865

Sorry, Image got creepy, here it is

>I watched other of my favourite cartoons to see how they made the eyes,
What show(s)?

>I really don't have any actual idea of what goes where, so if you can give me some advice on that it would be most welcome.
Well, I can't really. Since you use your own style, you're the ultimate arbiter of the right and wrong way to do things.

I do, however, have one or two handy tricks for drawing stuff from different angles. Hold on, I did this for Jasper just recently...

>pic
Okay. Basically, as something turns left to right, the height of things never change. So, if I can draw something from the side or the front, I can get the height for stuff in 3/4ths view.

I added lines in photoshop to show how this looked for the neck cloth and collar. I also did this for most of the face, like the half lidded eye and the curl of hair.

This also let me place things like the widest point of the second layer of cloth. In the side view, I can assume that the widest point of the neck is middle, and that gives me the level of the widest point for the front view.

Now, this isn't definitive. I really didn't like how the eyelid looked from straight ahead, for example. At least, though, it gives me a starting point to work from.

So, that's how I handle the elevation for key features.

Width... is slightly more complicated. Just a minute.

So, to sort out the width for stuff at various angles, I start by drawing whatever it is i'm drawing from above.

If I don't know how to draw it from above, I draw it from the front and side, and use that as a guide to drawing it from above.

Then, like the elevation thing here, >>109899, I draw out more guides. Only difference is, the guides are at the same angle I want the camera to be at. That gives me the width. Since the elevation of features doesn't change when the camera pans around the subject, the same proportions for the front and side views work for the new angled view. I just have to keep in mind that since I'm using a circle for the head, it's width will always be the same as the height, so the guides for the width of the head will give me the height of the head. Body proportions are based on the size of the head, so I can just work my way from there.

I should note, I don't usually do this for Ponies. Humanoid figures, yes, all the time, but not Ponies. This is one of those times where logic breaks down for stylistic stuff, so I usually dig up refs instead of going through all this mess.

Anyway! I talk too much. Hope this is somehow useful, its the best I can offer at the moment.

Oh, wait. I forgot something. Silhouettes. I need to make another sketch.

(One of these days, I will actually remember to attach the image. Thank the mods for post deletion)

I should have just started with this, it's way simpler, and probably more along the lines of what you need.

Fun fact: Mirrors don't flip things left to right. They flip them front to back. That's basically what I've done with Jasper in the pic.

The significant thing being, silhouette for either view is identical. I don't usually have to draw all this out when I need to draw a character from behind. I just picture how they would look from the front, and think about the outline.

Again, this isn't definitive. The collar looks odd because we're looking at it from behind, and the ribbon is off centre because I shift it into view when I draw jasper from the front. Still, it makes for a good starting point.

This is handy for things like whether or not the tip of the nose should be in view, how far apart the ears should be, or the spacing for the legs.

Anyway, hope this helps. Let me know if I'm even remotely on the right track with all this advice.

>>109851
Oh man, Bluelolz, you're awesome! Thanks so much for, not one, but now two pics~

This might be a pretty tall order for a request, so I'd understand if you turn it down.

But any chance you could possibly draw a Hippogriff? It's like a Griffon but with the hind quarters of a horse.

>>109919
Preferably male :P

>>109910

Yes you are sir, I'm definitely going to try a lot of this things,and you're right I should have known about using height for reference in the perspective, as I do had arquitecture and constructive drawing as subjects for one of my semesters, You just gave me an epiphany.

I really appreciate you for doing this for me, and you have my sincerest gratitude mister.

>What show(s)?

Edd Ed n' Eddy, PPG, Ren n' Stimpy, Catdog, Rocko's modern life, hey arnold, those are the ones i have on the top of my head, I noticed they make their eyes mostly the same (except PPG, some models look a little morbid), I thought I would make my eyes like them (really simple and round) but I seemed to have taken the way I felt more comfortable with, though I need to polish it

>>109919

Oh I'm sorry, I know it's a real bore to read the whole thread and I forgot to mention it in my previous post, Requests are closed until Friday.

Also I forgot to mention to keep it strictly pony related, as I don't think my rendition of other species is appropriate for what people (such as yourself) are looking for sorry.

>>109928
Understandable.

I'll try somewhere else then ^_^

>>109866

This looks great, only thing I see though that might need some tweaking is the cutie mark. They look like volcanoes instead of regular mountains unless I'm just looking at them wrong.

>>109926
Happy to help. :3

>>109919
Sweet-Celestia-in-a-bucket, I've been meaning to draw a hippogryph for... well, actually, long before MLP:FiM was around. I'm totally doing this.

>>109929
Glad you did, and Thank you Fox for taking it, I hate letting people down.

>>109958
Could you perhaps upload the image you used for the cutie mark?

Also as a small announcement, I was working on my tumblr/webcomic/weird thing when I noticed It's really going to take me some time.

So meanwhile I opened a mod/art blog where I will be posting all my sketches. progress and silly stuff I happen to do, requests will be accepted there too, as is any kind of feedback.

http://blueysketches.tumblr.com/

I do believe that is in fact the first time I've seen Lyra depicted in the possession of, or in any way affiliated with, an actual lyre.

Also: I made an honest to goodness spit-take.

You, sir, as so very follow'd.

I noticed the first tumblr too, but I was waiting to see content before I followed it. I'm weird like that, I know.

>>110038

No, In fact you're right, It's a project I've been building for weeks, but I'm sorting it out, I thought I'll had it finished 4 or 5 days ago, but I guess it didn't go as planned.

I'll be making a lot of changes but rest assured that I appreciate your words sir.

And I'll post a lot of stuff daily hopefully

>>109805

actually i was try to be disparaging towards the people who only prefer show accurate ponies

i still love what you do thought :)

Hey was wondering if it'd be too hard to request drawing my OC if i have nothing for you to reference. My artistic skills are about as sharp as a blanket. (I'm saying they suck)

Any way totally understandable if you can't. Bye.

>>110008

Sure, here you go. The peaks are still white, but I had to find get the picture with the peaks in black so they'd show up since for whatever reason they didn't want to.

Also how often do you take requests? 'd like to have Gaia done also if you can manage on another go around.

>>110065

Thanks Darkowin, that means a lot to me,really.

>>110089

Thanks I'll correct it soon then.

>>110086
>>110101

You will have to wait until Friday, I'm busy with a lot of work now, but I WILL have time by then.

>>110118
Kay good to know.

>>110125
So from where I am, it is Friday. So...

Here's my OC that i would like to get a picture for:

Ghostwriter the Scribe

Species: Unicorn

Appearance: Pale gray body, wears a pale blue cloak and pince-nez glasses. Brown long (Kinda spiky) mane. Brown tail. Storm grey eyes.

Note on clothes: The blue cloak basically has three parts. The first is a basic vest going to about the middle portion of his body. sorta baggy and sleeves extend to about a little above mid leg. The second part is a cape and hood. cape part extends a tiny bit past the main part. The cape and hood are a part of the main shirt. it's all on piece. The final part is a a gold chain that goes from one side of the neck to the other. The chain is NOT a necklace. in the center of the chain is a gold book (open) and quill. The cloak has a silver trim all around the edges.

As far as what he's doing, Well he's a Scribe so can you have him writing while checking another book for reference. Or him reading if it's easier. (Though considering this is trying to be conveyed only through written word, it makes it some what difficult to begin with)

Side note: His magic would be silvery blue

Any way if you feel like a challenge, here it is.

Sorry if me posting this at 2:22 Am is annoying.

You are also free to just tell me to trot off if I'm asking a lot.

>>110323
also his Cutie mark is a blank scroll with a quill. (Looks as if the quill is about to write something)

>>110323
Well I was just about to reopen the thread.. soo... okay, just note that this will take time, it's the trade off for asking a lot, so yours will be done by tonight or tomorrow night, also, I'll have to take a lot of liberties in his appearance, as I have no clear guide in many little things, but don't worry, Iusually don't trail off from the things I've been given.

And yes this means requests are open again Just note again: No NSFW, No Shipping between canon characters, keep it to 1 pony (but you can request again now), and I forgot to mention before, keep it pony related, I'm not so good at things that aren't ponies

>>110353
Thanks! The fact that someone is willing to do it at all make me happy.

I realize i will not get exactly what's in my head but that's the price i pay for having nothing for a point of reference.

By the way Pince-nez glasses are the glasses that don't have ear pieces and just rest on the nose. might be a little hard to do with ponies though.

Looking forward to your interpretation.

>>110361

Well, I got it, I just missed the chain,I couldn't find a way to make it good looking so I expect you excuse me for this omission.

Requests still open

>>110405
Thanks. Not exactly what was in my head, but it turned out awesome, just the same.

Let's try this again.

Twilight Sparkle!

and make more comics.

>>110410
Glad to be of service

>>110425
Woot, Twalot is the mane 6 I love to draw the most, testing another style too.

And yeah I have a lot more comics in store, but they're not that funny, I'll even try to get some advice in that if you want.

Soooo, if your still taking requests and this isn't too much trouble, how about my character Chaos Moon? Though note it has been awhile so I have to put multiple pictures to explain what he looks like- http://darkestdragonking.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d4rjqex but the armor doesn't have to be done unless you want to so here is one without it http://darkestdragonking.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d4sgchf
but the wings is off and i always forgot a few details- http://darkestdragonking.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d52tje8 the wings are more like that and the purple in the mane and tail are there, as well as 3 spikes on both hind legs

Course none of this has to be done if you don't want to. Take your time. Thanks ahead of time.

>>110439
Okay... there are challenges... and then there's this, I'm not going to say no, but I'm not sure it's going to come out well, so...there it is

Thanks!

Next: Fluttershy?

Welp, My Illustrator crashed and doesn't want to work anymore, I'll close requests while I fix it

>>110449
>>110439

Drawing these by the way

>>110447
Alright, thanks, but the armor really doesn't need to be there. [if you haven't started, I think I should point out that he is a bit skinny]

>>110455

That's not good, will you still be able to fix mine?

>>110455
Noooooooooooooo! My daily eye candy!

>>110474

Sure! just tell me your trouble

>>110490

I could post my sketches, but I don't think they look good enough.

I was out voting (elections day here in Mexico), so I'll start to see what's the problem with my program

Well, Illustrator is back in business!, apparently someone changed the locations of the plugins, took me a good while to figure out where they where.

>>110474
Here's atlas with corrected cutie mark, I'm also drawing your other OC, though I don't have her cutie Mark.

Colouring these:
>>110439
>>110449

>>110509
Do you work on multiple pictures at the same time?

Sorry for not being around, today is a really important day here and people are making parades on the street...

>>110517

Only when sketching, though RS' correction was long overdue, so I did it quickly.

As I couldn't be around here working the whole day, here is what I have so far of Zorad's, hope to have it by the end of my day.

The others will be done by tomorrow, thank you for your patience

>>110526
Awesome so far. Take your time and no need to rush. Do you have a DeviantART?

>>110528

Finished, hope you like it!

And yes, I do have a Deviantart:

http://miroslav46.deviantart.com/

Hay, if you're still taking commissions and are not too busy, I would love it if you drew my pony in your style :D. The reference picture is something my friend drew, but her cutie mark is supposed to be a turnip with a viking helmet on :P

>>110534
Sure, I'll do it.

Got Fluttershy, really pretty colors here

>>110530
2 words for this
Epicly Awesome

Sweet!

If you still want to do these, I'm sure you know my next request.

Um, if you're still doing requests, can I get a picture of my pony here? Her cutie mark is a lemon.

>>109347
Could you draw my OC, Four Block http://nerd-pony.deviantart.com/#/d53yh4y

Here is what I have of this one so far, but I'm lacking her cutie mark, so If you can post it, it would be awesome.

>>110541
>>110549
>>110552

Drawing these ones, and requests are closed to work on these ones, so anyone else requesting please wait until these three are done, hope everyone understands.

I have the sketches ready for all these:

>>110534
>>110541
>>110549
>>110552

But I'll be back until night here, so expect a nightly update on all of these

>>110561
Could I see the sketch as well if it's not too much trouble.

>>110534
I finished this one, and it's only 11 pm here, hooray.

Working on these:
>>110541
>>110549
>>110552

I apologize, but you'll have to wait, hope you understand (I hate my sketches' resolution)

>>110557

Atlas looks great! And thanks for doing Gaia also. I would say her cutie mark is a globe but it's a bit more like a picture of the earth from space with a little bit of indiscernible land and clouds.

>>110593
SQUEEE! It looks so awesome. thank you soooo much for drawing it for me <3

>>110541
Dash is here, many pegasi this time

Working on these:

>>110549
>>110552

Thanks for bothering with all my dumb requests! I'm not done yet, though.

I heard from some people that there was evidence of voting fraud for the elections. That's absolutely terrible.

Wish I had something worthwhile to post, but I haven't finished the last two, those will be up tomorrow I hope.

>>110629
No problem, always a pleasure.

Oh boy, there were a lot of frauds in just one day,I personally saw how people sold their votes for around 8 bucks (100 pesos) at the voting place, and how people stole boxes with votes, falsified reports on numbers, and the web page showing the results was hiding the true results (someone hacked into the servers and saw everything), unfortunately, nothing of this is prosecuted because civilians found it, so they discredit it, truly depressing, enough of me rambling about politics, i'm personally glad that people in other countries hear that this was a sham, you'll get to see my country get worse, sadly...

A big apology for taking so long, I've been occupied with my moving I barely had time to vectorize and draw, but...

>>110552
I Got this one first, hope you like it!

And giving this one the final touches
>>110549

Man when will I stop derping everything, here is the right one

>>110549
And done!, Had fun with this one, so many pegasi.

Requests will be closed until further notice, I hope to open them soon, but there are some pressing projects I need to attend, so any request after this post will be ignored, and thanks to everypony who requested, you all contribute to my improvement, and I can never be grateful enough for that.

>>110765
fsjkhsg this is awesome, thank you so much!

>>110765
I know right? Everyone in my RP room on DA is like a pegasus...I am the only alicorn. Though there is maybe 1 unicorn and 1 earth pony....1 changeling and finally the rest are pegasi lol [actually, i am alicorn and changeling...2 characters]

>>110774
Funfact; the most popular choice of super-power is flight.

The most popular colour is blue.

Which must be why Rainbow Dash is so buckin' popular.

Now back to your regularly scheduled thread.

>there are some pressing projects I need to attend,
Including your tumblr, right? :3

>>110781
Heh, with magic though you can give yourself temporary wings like Twilight did for Rarity and do more lol. Better yet, alicorns get to use magic AND fly...guess so do changelings but yeah, they also can be whatever the heck they want to be too.

>>110764
I love it! Thank you so much!

>>110773
>>110801

Glad you liked them, it was my pleasure

Yah, I see a lot of unicorns and pegasi, not so many alicorns, I think you know why, but I rarely see earth ponies, but as WF pointed on the others, earth ponies don't have anything that makes them stand out from the other races, which make them unattractive to most people, who like their ponysonas to be special.

Interestingly, I prefer earth ponies for this reasons (that's why my "OC" is an earth pony, and blue at that), earth ponies need to be really good to stand out, I don't like the other races as much because I feel like their awesomeness is already accounted for, flying, magic, weird alicorn-ey powers, but earth ponies don't have any of that, so they have to make an extra effort to be noticed... and also I like them because of my career (geology FTW!).

>Including your tumblr, right? :3

Yeah, but I closed the 2nd one because I need more time, and also because I'm getting my tablet today, I think this thread will remain closed until I get used to that thing, meanwhile I'll be posting a lot of nonsense in my tumblr, maybe another comic.

>>110804
I can see where you're coming from... the ability to fly or do magic doesn't automatically give a character a unique concept.

If an OC doesn't have a strong character concept, though, I don't think it matters what kind of pony they are. I've always thought of a pony's Special Talent as being far more important than their species (breed? genus? whatev.), as it's an extension of their personality.

It took me a while to settle on a specific definition for Jasper's talent... it's not just some thing he can do, either, it's the foundation for his whole character.

I've always thought of the three types of ponies as analogous to mind (unicorn), body (earth), and spirit (pegasus). That's probably just my own personal head-fanon-canon more than anything else, tho.

>(geology FTW!)
I'll second that! A while back, I spent about two months solid studying karst geogrphy... It has the perfect look and feel for fantasy settings.

More recently I've been looking up material for my sci-fi comic... It's the first time my worldbuilding has involved the actual building of worlds. :3

I did a fair bit of research for Jasper, too... his immediate family is themed around chalcedony, and I'm trying to be as scientifically accurate with gemstones as I can reasonably manage.

That’s right people, I’m opening requests here for now, as I have a big itch to draw ponies at this very moment, so if you have an OC, something on your mind you’d like me to draw or just want me to draw anything, ask away, don’t forget to leave a reference if you can.

Also read the rules, very important.

- No NSFW, I like my ponies SFW.

- No >shipping between canon characters, OC’s are fine as long as the owner(s) approves.

- Don’t ask me to ponify people or characters from other media, I just don’t cut it for that.

- Keep it to ponies please, My humanoids suck big time.

With that out of the way, everything else goes, it doesn’t matter who you are as long as you’re polite and coherent.

Also, be respectful and try to be as descriptive as possible, giving me a “Do my OC however you like” gives me little room for interpretation, a pose or an attitude helps me deliver a much better result.

Alex out.

>>112180
Hmm... You've already done two images for me, but since you're offering so openly again...
Would you mind too terribly much if I toss another of my OCs your way?

>>112210

I don't mind at all, if no one else requests today, I'll have yours by tomorrow morning!

>>112215
Ah, ok, thanks!
This one's quite a bit different from my other OC. Her name's Jewel, and her story (from /rp/) is a bit... out there. Long story short, she was artificially created as a sex slave, but was rescued from enslavement by another character, then shown a normal life. Now, she's a normal pegasus, except she's a bit... overly serious, and always thinks logically, devoid of emotion.
I've only really got one original drawing of her, so I'd like another. I think for this one, I'd like her to be writing in a small note book, if possible. Nothing specific in mind about what's written in it, so you can have it as just little scribbles if you need to.
Also, her cutie mark is (due to her reason for creation) a spiked collar. And that's about it~
If you've got any other questions or anything about her, feel free to toss 'em my way. Thanks, Bluelolz~

Hey again. Glad to see you're back and drawing again. I wanted to see if you got my description of Gaia's cutie mark when you asked a while back. I also have a another character if your requests aren't closed yet.

>>112227

Yep, I got it, but I'm really sorry, I forgot to ask if you had the original vector or you wanted me to draw it, I kinda forgot about it, I'm truly sorry, and yes you can request again now =).

Don't be afraid to ask, I will never be harsh towards any request, as long as it's coherent.

>>112224

Drawing this one :)

>>112234

Well it's not really a vector but I can still give it to you.

>>112234

And the character I'd like to request is this one. I'd also like to ask if it's possible for you to draw her either with Philomena, or a Shō http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sh%C5%8D_%28instrument%29

>>112241

>Spoiler
>I see why you did it

Don't worry, I'll see which one I can draw better, I also added the cutie mark to this one, I'm not convinced, but I don't know if you want me to draw one, it would be really simple

>>112246

You mean the globe? You can draw one if you want. I thought that's why you needed the pic to look off of.

>>112180

If it isn't too much trouble, could you do me and a friend's OCs doing something cute and romantic together? I know I've already made a request, so if you don't want to do it I understand. I attatched the picture you drew of my OC. This is my friend's OC: http://i.imgur.com/zmqXx.png His cutie mark is a crimson shield with a white heart as a crest inside it.

>>112256

Of course I'll do it, but is his OC a mare or a stallion?, I ask because it has eyelashes on that picture so I'm a little confused

>>112258
I asked my friend, he says it's a stallion with a filly's body style.

>>112259
Excellent, If everything goes as planned, I'll have all of these by tomorrow.

>>112248

I'll try to have this one before I go to bed

>>112260

Ok, I have some particulars with Pandora. She's about Celestia's height. She wields flame, hence her cutie mark, so that influences her mane and tail. The mane and tail from the PC is the best it had but they're more like watching a pretty fire moving about.

>>112227
As promised here is the new cutie mark version

I'll try to get as much done as I can before falling asleep. If anypony happens leave a request, keep in mind it will be probably started until these are finished.

>>112224
>>112241
>>112256

Stay safe.

>>112263

Looks great.

Due to my computer's inability to run livestreams, I opened a join me session where I'll be colouring most of the requests here, and I'll probably be drawing the other ones I got today from my tumblr, if you're feeling like checking how your request is doing, be sure to take a look.

https://join.me/656-244-525

>>112224
Finished this one.

>>112241
Colouring this one

>>112241

Another one finished, my philomeena is a little bland, hope you like it

>>112256

And here is yours, thanks to everyone who joined me, I really appreciate it =)

>>112331

And here is the cutie mark, he requested me to post it separately too.

Have a nice day /art/

I have a request. If your willing. I would like a picture of Twilight. But i want her to have a few things. Namely:

Flaming wings.
Flaming mane and tail.
Red eyes.
He cutie mark is the same except the outside sparkles having simplified versions of the other girls marks.

as far as position, have her looking forward with a glare (I have a back story for this form). But have it to where we can see her side.

Again entirely if your willing, I could see this being a challenge.

Happy drawing.

>>112315

She looks great. How are your requests looking? I'd like to request another one, though this one I don't have as any kind of image yet.

>>112343

Request away, but it will be started tomorrow.
same for this one
>>112342
As I'm completely drained.

>>112345
Thanks again for the request! My friend loved it. Goes without saying I did, too. I think I might have to make another soon, if that'd be okay. :v

>>112345

This one's a bit complex. She is a dark character who lives in a gnarled old tree in a misty, evil forest, she is not generally nice like the other three you drew. The PC didn't have anything beyond glasses for eyes but she normally has a tattered rag tied over her eyes, as she is blind, as well as her tattered cape and dull, tarnished bracelets. She looks very old and ragged with mussed up fur. Her fur, mane, and tail color is dulled.

>>112345
understandable.

>>112342
Oh she also needs to be wearing her element.

Well, that was a short run, but I got swamped again with many projects so...

>>112342
>>112369
>>112355

These are the last ones I'll do, I may open a join me session later, so check back if you'd like

>>112291
I've been out of the house for a while, so I only just saw this.
It looks great!
Thanks, Bluelolz~

I Opened another session, I'll be colouring the last requests, so take a look if you want to see it's progress

https://join.me/766-199-841

I finally came around to finishing those two last requests.

>>112342

Here is this one, had a lot of fun with it :D

>>112355

And finally this one, A great experience all around, requests will remain closed until further notice.

Have a great time /art/

>>112524
Complete awesomeness! Thank you.

>>112526

She looks awesome!

If you ever open requests, I would love if you could something with an OC of mine. I adore your art style, I mean seriously this stuff is awesome!

I suppose I'll hold posting the picture until you re-open. Honestly though I would pay money for the quality of art that I'm seeing.

>>112524
I just love how the fiery mane came out. Excellent work :3
