Please and thank you for viewing, +favorite, commenting, critiquing and/or even sharing, means a whole lot to me~
Sorry if I don't reply to everyone's comment, but I do read them all!
Author's Note
I still like my RPG idea but I'm just so bad at tryingggg
More context is lingering in my gallery, made a few works towards "MLP:TPE", an RPG idea I had, but since I'm no RPG professional or anything I didn't even bother getting much a demo even worked on. It's half the reason why I started making sprites a long while ago.
So I wanted to make a good drawing, multiple characters and all considering the last 'complete' artwork I've made - couldn't think of anything so I was like uh, let's redo the MLP:TPE title screen . . . ! And here we are.
Maybe someday I'll figure out how to start working on it, but no promises . . . !
Ohey side fact, I was listening to Labyrinth of Touhou's OST (an RPG) the whole time I drew this - took a bit long, I'ma guestimate 10~15 hours to complete this drawing, hm, I reallyyyy am bad at keeping track of how long I work on these drawings
- - - - -
On the art itself, (ohey I actually remember to comment about the art this time sort of!) -
I try to work with my current slight edit of my style, not too noticeable but comparing to some of my other artworks ya might notice a few changes here and there -
Also wanted to put that 'slight difference' per character, while I didn't do it too noticeably, I did adjust the eye shape at least to match the character as I saw them.
Overall I'm pretty satisfied with my current style, I just needa be more dynamic, and learn how to do backgrounds - well no I get how to do backgrounds just I need to actually make drawings that pay more attention to backgrounds instead of ones where I only care about the characters. Eh I'll figure it out somehowww

Hah, it's Madoka all over again - cute eyes, cute intro, then suddenly all of good turns evil~

Keep banging away at your RPG.
Do not give up.
Some things need to be approached from the small edge first.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Apologies on these nosy questions but I am curious about people's workflows.
What do you do first?
The background or the foreground chars?
One problem is that you think of backgrounds as a separate thing from the foreground.
In great pictures the background and foreground work together as one.
Looks great.

Well I work on the system first in terms of RPG, but for characters, this RPG idea is one of those kinds where every character is important so uh, equally basically I'd like to say, 'though the story is related to the Mane6's character development half the time
Unless you meant drawing, and who I draw in the front and who in the back but I just sorta go with whatever, this drawing sorta happened clockwise from center

"Unless you meant drawing, and who I draw in the front and who in the back but I just sorta go with whatever, this drawing sorta happened clockwise from center"
This answer tells me that you focus on the subjects a lot and the background is thought of last.
You rock doing foreground subjects and you want to do better "backgrounds".
I would suggest that you do backgrounds for a bit.
Don't even think of them as backgrounds, stuff thats just there to make the foreground subjects look good.
Its more than that, its the place where this picture happens.
Think of them as subjects worthy of their own picture.
Go look at landscape paintings/photographs.
If you are not sure what to look at I can help you.
Make some landscapes.
No ponies or people.
Just landscapes until you have a feel for making them.
The payoff for you is a better picture.
What do you think?

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I'm no good with understandin' fancy talk~
I've indeed been practicing as a character artist, 'though my style for it has improved (I'm still not satisfied, which is why I've yet to convince myself to really go to backgrounds much)
And I did do some background drawings ('though the fact I don't go outside enough doesn't help with the 'variety'), I just like to do character focus drawings a lot more

The more you know, the more you can do.
This means freedom.
You can think of a scene and go do it.
Traditional artists do not see a picture as foreground and background.
They see it as one whole picture.
Imagine doing a Rarity vs Crab picture.
Now imagine doing the fight with a raging sea in the background.
Imagine doing a Twilight Sparkle vs Queen Chrysalis picture.
Twilight is facing her enemy on a thin platform inside the Changeling caves that stretch on for miles.
How about a scene in which two ponies are sitting by the ocean at night.
The ocean goes on from miles.
Of course good backgrounds are not just outdoors.
You can have great indoor scenes too.
As far as going outside.
Well, I live in a city but I have access to magazines, internet, museums.
Yeah I agree its better to be there but hey if you can't you can still carry on.
You should be looking at as much art as you can.
You never know what you can pick up.

Can google up pictures of landscapes for reference.
Check out the artwork of Alfred Bierstadt
Imagine putting Fluttershy in this environment

Learning how to do great backgrounds will allow you to do more.
Yeah its work but you are not afraid of that.
Look at your chars, took time to get them where they are.
It will take time to make good landscapes but when you get it, your work will be bigger, wider.
Give your chars the epic background they deserve.

Ah you're quite passionate about it; That's awesome thanks~Β 'though I'll just take it at my own pace as per usual

My problem is the opposite.
I did a lot of landscapes and am trying to integrate chars into them.

This is such an amazing piece and I really love the perspective of this! The character design is wonderful as always and I really love the way that you highlighted friendship in this piece that joins them together! I also love the lush and full colors that flow through the piece and bring it to life! Every element of this piece is brilliantly crafted and I would love to continue to see more of your art! Great work as always! Kind regards, Princess Luna

Cute and nice piece. I like the way you did the eyes, it reminds a bit a japanese manga. And I also really love the shining colors. Good job ^_^

You can clearly see how much you've grown as an artist by comparing this with the original version. Β Very nice work!
