Description This was a prize in the Benders Vs Bronies competition held on reddit. The winner wanted a line art painting.

Gradients are difficult.

Vector by

EDIT: Some more info since this became a Daily Deviation.

Don't like it? [link]

The piece is a stencil painting made from a vector from the show. It is acrylic spray paint on 12x12 canvas.

All told, it took about 2 or 3 hours to make.

The photo isn't the best quality because I took it at night with a crappy camera so I could show the person who commissioned the piece the final result. I post my work to DA so that other people can enjoy the work that I do.

I understand that some people don't like MLP, and that is totally fine. I am also more than open to critique of my work. Complaining that a piece of art has a subject matter which you don't like is very childish. I am not making this for anyone but the commissioner and for myself as a project to spend an afternoon relaxing.

Before 10/8, I had heard the term Daily Deviation just once or twice. I had no idea how they were picked or anything. I am glad that I was picked because more people can see my art, which is always cool to me. I am disappointed that so many people are dropping negative comments here because it is not up to some standard they expect in a daily or because of the content.

I do want to thank everyone who has taken the time to look through my gallery and favorite some of my work. Painting is just a hobby for me that I got swept up in. Seeing other people like my work is always cool.

I do not understand why this was given a DD, but it's never the artist's fault when people suggest their work that should get a DD and gets accepted.



It's nice, but the person used a vector. Points get taken away how nice it is since it became a daily deviation. If it wasn't a daily deviation, this wouldn't be a reason why a lot of people are against why this is featured.

Everyone's whining but I don't give a DAMN.In my humble opinion this deserved a DD for several reasons.

- I think the colouration is amazing.
- The lighting and fading into darkness and light on both luna and the background are awesome.
- I love the effect her mane has,instead of being glittery as hell it just has simple dotting across it.
- I love how half of it is lineless and the rest isn't..It just brings more attention to the piece itself.

GAHH I don't care if this used a vector,I think it's perfect.

People, please dont blame the artist for receiving a daily deviation award.

If anything, send a message to the person who selected it.

That being said, I think this is nice.

I think it's lovely. Stenciling/airbrushing/spraypainting is a difficult thing to do, I've found. The gradient's fantastic. ;3

I get the dislike some have for ponies. But putting your comment here does little to fix the slight that many have perceived by this being a daily. Ask kiwi why he picked it or ask DA to establish criteria for what level of quality art should acheive before being qualified to be chosen for a DD.

The reaction to getting this DD is very interesting to me, and slightly entertaining.

I like ponies but there are other pictures that aren't copies of other pictures that deserve a DD you know.

Maybe you should take up your argument with the person who decided to feature it in the first place? Rather than making pointless, and to be honest, rather rude comments on peoples artwork. Just an idea

pyrobob In reply to MajoraSnow [2012-10-08 22:22:42 +0000 UTC]

I actually don't care what gets chosen as a DD, my own work especially. I made this for someone who donated to a charity fundraising competition. I posted it on DA to host the image, and so I could share it with my few watchers who like to see show style art done with spray paint.

It is all just useless internet points anyways. No need to worry, yet it seems that many got quite worked up over it.

pyrobob In reply to MajoraSnow [2012-10-08 22:32:48 +0000 UTC]

I don't think anyone was saying that the art sucked. I just made the piece for one audience, and it was thrust into a spotlight that made people get upset over something that has 0 actual importance.

Some people just want to watch the world burn.

Way to go DD admins. You've simultaneously unleashed a world of hate on a fanartist just having fun and trolled the hell out of people who actually expect to see master quality art DDs (which do exist on this site). That's two kinds of mean.

Jerks.

So sorry for the hell coming your way, Pyrobob.

Something-Angelic [2012-10-08 21:41:57 +0000 UTC]

All these people complaining about the fact that it's a copy of a vector, which was a frame from the show. Like it fucking matters. It's a DD because it looks really good, and it's in a medium that is harder to control, which really shows how talented the artist is.

INB4 "oh it's just a stencil"
who fucking cares like I said, it looks good.

soapywuff In reply to ??? [2012-10-08 21:41:50 +0000 UTC]

I can't believe people are flaming you for getting a DD. The thing is, I don't get why when you draw this, you get flamed for tracing. And when you trace stuff like this:[link] you're autamaticly a hero and everyone loves you. Is it because it's up for free use or something? I don't see any flaming there.
