Description Part 1  -- YOU ARE HERE / (version WITH BRUISES here)  -- Part 3  -- Part 4 (coming whenever)

Spotted on: Derpibooru

Man, this one was a challenge (read "challenge" as "major pain in the butt).

Getting the lighting correctly, making them pose as naturally as possible for ponies, not to mention the Advance Inflator tool making them go invisible whenever I used it a bit too much to shrink their hooves so I could fit the gloves correctly...

But my main obstacle were the bruise effects on the other version. The spray of spit was quite easy to create, but the bruises were a major pain. And I'm still not sure if they look correct or not.

I'm glad the motion blur effect exists, though. That enhanced the action by a lot.

Anyway, there you go. AJ and RD trading some major leather.

Oh, yeah. Inspiration for this came from the art by Jose-Ramiro

AJ will show what earth ponies can do.

Earth ponies = heavy hitters.
Pegasi = fast hitters.

Agree?

True. But Rainbow has to stay on ground for a fair fight.

Good thing it's boxing, not MMA, then.

Then, you'll have a no-holds bar fight.

Can we see mud wrestling? It is more suitable for girls.

AJ has power but RD has speed, As long as RD doesn't fly this can be a fair match. It could end in a double knockout.

I have a way to finish this series.

It's a bit cheap, but that'll probably keep their fans happy.

In more ways than one...

I'm actually gonna add one more page with them trading even more leather.

You want to make them punching each other, for even longer? You are so curel.

If I can actually pull this next page off the way I'm imagining it, I could probably be deemed as "cruel". XD

JohnFlaherty In reply to K4nK4n [2014-03-26 03:17:50 +0000 UTC]

'cause it's an intense, toe-to-toe (or hoof-to-hoof) fight? ^^

Logically speaking, AJ has the advantage of winning here since she's an Earth pony because Pegasi have a lighter body structure and a lower overall physical strength.

JohnFlaherty In reply to CaptnBlitz [2014-03-26 03:16:29 +0000 UTC]

Use logic in this fandom? THAT'S ILLOGICAL!!!

Anyway...

Given how athletic RD is, she could use her agility and stamina to her advantage and tire AJ before delivering the final blow.

Though no matter what I read or hear of the matter, I still believe any sort of physical confrontation they have'll end up in a draw.

CaptnBlitz In reply to JohnFlaherty [2014-03-26 13:09:46 +0000 UTC]

Okay so applying logic is very un-useful. But still, I have my vote on AJ.

Motion blur effect? As in a Gimp brush or a Gmod post processor?

JohnFlaherty In reply to Tyraka628 [2014-03-25 04:27:54 +0000 UTC]

It's a Photoshop filter.

However, that kept clashing with the bruise effects, so I had to copy/paste the arms and gloves, then apply the Motion Blur effect on that new layer.
