Description UPDATE! HERE'S THE LINK TO SAID FIC: [link]

BEFORE ANYONE ASKS THAT IS A BUCKET OF SYRUP

This was done for my friend

She wrote a fanfic for the Happy Luna contest over on Equestria Daily and I told her I'd draw a picture for it.

It's a spinoff of the fanfic Progress called Luna vs First Date. You'll be able to read it Aug 19th when all the entries are posted.

I wasn't sure what style I was going to do this in when I started. It kinda evolved into what it is now. I don't even know what you'd call this style.

All I know is that I worked on this thing nonstop when I started (except when I went to sleep after I did the sketch). 1-2 hours sketching. 7-8 hours coloring in PS.


MLP belongs to Lauren Faust and Hasbro

And I've forgotten where I got the textures so if you notice that I've used them, give me a holler and I'll give credit where it's due.

I think I have spazzed over this particular artwork as it is.
But just in case

That's a very interesting way to greet a date, and now does Big Macintosh try to help her clean up or does he just give her the hose? No matter what they look great together, and I really love their little smiles despite the setback. The scenery is lovely and even calming, like a really nice late summer/early autumn day (flat-bottomed clouds make me think of cooler breezes), plus the paper texture is pretty sweet.

Hehe very cute. Can see you worked very hard on it! Great work.
Why do first dates almost always end in some sort of diaster ?

Is the snowy mountaintop overlapping Luna's ear? Or am I seeing tings that aren't there?

bigponymac In reply to AxemGR [2011-08-17 08:43:35 +0000 UTC]

Thanks!

And the line of the snow and Luna's ear are pretty much on top of each other so I can see where it could look that way. But It's not so don't worry.

My good man this is beautiful!! Words seriously fail me at the moment. Do you by any chance take commissions?

Thank you! ^^

I've seriously been thinking about taking commissions. The thing is, I don't know if I'm ready to or not and I'm not sure how much to charge. I also need to get organized. I have too many ideas and projects to know what to do with. lol

But I guess if you would like to commission me, send me a note and we'll discuss it from there.
