Description i don't even... to be honest i'm kinda dissapointed because i did't keep the realism in at all... i mean, a pony with a plasma gun.
WTF brain! well i wanted to play around with lighting and shading effects again. this was a work where i didn't practice on anything special. so far i've been setting a goal for myself each drawing to improve. that goal can be a change of perspective or better background, etc... this time i took all i already knew and kinda put it in one pic i won't lie though i am happy with the result but dissapointed in how much it doesn't make sense X)

i tried sever new things though  but they weren't exactly a goal. several perspectives on the characters and envoirment filling. the green strings are supposed to be some sort of slime that takes hold of a place where changelings dwell. since they look like insects i wanted to create an envoirement that looked like it was inhabited by insects. i will admit that that didn't work out to well. but wwith a little imagination it might look like some plants. and one more thing the device on the ponies wrist how could i forget. it might look confuzing at first but take a closer look. it's supposed to be a simple trigger devic where you put the hoof in and pull down to fire. there's gotta be a way for earth ponies to shoot firearms to right?

using my tablet really helps me out though, i created the sketch for this on computer instead of on paper . i'll be uploading a speedpaint of this soon where you can see this getting created from scratch. orginally this was supposed to be something else which you might see in the speedpaint but i couldn't do what i wanted so i did something else. which is really bad actually because that's how you get stuck on the same level i think.

anyways HOLY damn have i been typing this much? O_o well okay then. let me know what you think maybe...
if you feel like it 

my little pony belongs to hasbro -is this even neccecary?-

It doesn't matter how much sense it makes, it's art. I guarantee when I post something I will act like a hypocrite but this looks magnificent!
Eventually I am going to run out of words to describe your stuff.
The lighting and the creativity of the gear, the characters all look amazing and well defined.
Serioulsy just throw logic out the widow because I am a sucker for sci-fi and awesome pictures with dragons and maybe even ponies in them.

well if you're lacking the words to describe it that's fine ^^
only if you see something you think needs improvement let me know cause that really is helpfull.
and you can't say you're a sucker for sci fi stuf cause you've never tried it before  
there's lots of thing to practice on get some motivation and do it

Very cool. Really like the crooked camera view. And that visor of his is quite cool.

That equip from the dragon of yours looks fucking awesome but yet it feels and looks like it just hides everything from his field of view.

well it does, what else would be the use of it. you can see it but can't really see through it.
that's why he's looking out of the side of it

well yeah but... just don't try to question it -_-'
the logic in this lies in a far wawy place. i don't know how it would know there's a safety hazard but just imagine it could

I meant... wasn't it obvious there's danger? Why send a message about it?

dragonsponies In reply to DJcroc2016 [2014-08-11 14:29:30 +0000 UTC]

well actually (i didn't do that very well) there's supposed to be more shading so  they wouldn't be bale to see the danger. only the side vissible from the viewer can see the danger. this could have been accomplished with more work but i didn't do it yet i left the words the way they were without changing it cause i'm lazy like that XD
bur yeah it's pretty obvious

at first glance I thought Dragonfire had a engerized lance, but a plasma gun just sound awesome.

and the MLP yadda does not matter because Dragonfire is your OC. I would recommend it if you use someone elses OC or a Hasbro pony though (ex: Rainbow Dash, Derpy, Heartstrings, ect)

dragonsponies In reply to Commander-Something [2014-08-11 14:07:10 +0000 UTC]

well a lance would have made more sense but i like guns ._. 
definatly plasma types ^^
well yeah but since there are changelings in this i thought i had to do that to, they're not really characters since they weren't given an specific role but they're still a part of the show.

i REALLY hope they bring changelings back, they look so awesome

Well nothing ever really has to have a meaning, that's for us viewers to figure out and also for the artist to figure out as well!
This is super cool, I love the colors and the vines are really cool, also the shading and the look of the changelings since those guys are so hard for me to draw, I forget the fangs XD
EVERY EARTH PONY NEEDS FIREARMS. I think it's awesome, you don't watch equestria-prevails.deviantart.… by any chance? I think you'll love their art.
I love the design of the technology too, the Changelings look so freaked out XD

hah, thanks ^^ glad you like it.
man i would ave liked to see you draw changelings X) they're definatly my favourite thing in terms of design and look. i really hope they bring it back in season 5
and i do now, equestria-prevails does have some pretty awesome art!

I'll have to try them sometime, I was thinking of making one. I had a nice sketch for one before, except more pony-like like a cross-breed.
They sure are amazing, and hopefully! Maybe Chrysalis will come back? Hopefully anyways lol.
I know! It's awesome!

If they'll hug me than I won't be able to see them.. only the backs actually and there's nothing scare in something black on front of me, while their heads would be on my shoulder and rest of the body below XD
