Description
Exactly what the title stipulates. Experimenting with new shading styles and I REALLY like this one! It was a total blast to do, which is also this title is labeled as "1" because I may just do another of these, but with different ponies.We got some of the mane 6 in there, and I just threw in Trixie for fun. As of now, I've drawn all of the mane 6, extensively, so I thought I'd toss in a "background" character just to widen my palette of ponies. I don't like Trixie, but I did like the idea of giving her a downright pissed-off, "scowly" expression. Think of it as BEFORE "Magic Duel" where she still has a grudge against Twilight.

Yeah, alright, it's decided. We're doin' this. Not even asking.
I warned ya, but you didn't listen. Now I have to marry you. I hope you're happy.
...
But in all seriousness, I adore your art, love. Never stop.

Hahaaa, I'm flattered! To be totally honest, this style I have for drawing ponies just totally came out of nowhere. Normally, when I adapt characters into my "style", I go through a few tries until I settle on a design that I'm satisfied with. But with ponies, the first time I drew them (outside Lauren Faust's model), it was this kind you see here. The muzzle, the "square" head, and the "realistic" horse ears -- it totally just came fluidly with my very first pony drawing. And really, it hasn't changed since!

Fluttershy has the perfect nope.avi face here. Dash's "Dafuq am I lookin' at?" face is priceless and Best Pony looks like she's about to cut a bitch.

There's just something about the way hand-drawn characters emote that you can't replicate with Flash. You've definitely captured that charm here. Love these!

True. To be fair though, the guys at DHX do some unblelievable stuff with Flash, and the expressions themselves have only gotten better - Pinkie Pride had some real gems XD

I love your style!
You seem to have the ability to draw expressions that feel very alive and look just awesome! Have you ever thought of making a comic? I think people would eat it up!

Why thank you! I try my best with expressions cuz I think they're so fun to do! And, yes, I've certainly thought of making a comic (perhaps in the hope of it making EqD), but I just gotta find the right "story"!

It's like you compressed a couple drawings worth of emotion into each of the faces for these, it's so awesome!

I really admire the uniqueness of your style. It's well done and offers a nice visual flare. Plus... they all just look so fuzzy!

Graystripe64 In reply to Deviatealittle [2013-04-08 06:32:52 +0000 UTC]
And yes, the fluffiness! If it's got fur on it, you can bet I'll over-fluffitize it and make it look 10 times more cuddly than it actually is!
