Description More pony fanart (you saw this coming, right??) It won't be the last of it either. I just had to draw Lunacorn (my OC) with Fluttershy too, because she's my absolute fave from the show, and also because I have pretty much the same personality, fears and quirks as Fluttershy does. Here Luna and 'Shy are being introduced to each others' "pets", with Angel Bunny begrudgingly shaking Luna's hoof (after much convincing), and Actias (Luna's pet moth), flying straight over to greet Fluttershy's cutie mark rather than 'Shy herself, much to her amusement.

Btw, will be selling prints and the original of this at Coscon as well as the original of "Luna Amicitia" , if anyone is interested.

Note: Fluttershy & Angel Bunny are © HASBRO and , and both chars are done in my own version of the FiM style, so my apologies if they don't look exactly as they do on the show.

Aww, I love the animation style of FiM, and that's saying a lot for me, because I generally don't care for flash-style animation at all.

Lunacorn is always so wonderful to look at. Really what's mezmerizing is the amount of care that was put into this piece. It really shows! For someone that personally can't seem to take their time with their pieces I'm dumb struck as to how you can do it.

swandog In reply to smonda [2011-09-23 17:28:58 +0000 UTC]

Aww, you're so kind to say that!! This pic actually took me a month to do; I spent waaay longer on it than I should have, but I really wanted to have some nice prints (and originals) of new art at Coscon, since all the rest of my prints of are oooold work.

smonda In reply to swandog [2011-09-24 03:12:31 +0000 UTC]

This one should sell very nicely since MLP is all the rage right now! I was going to guess it took you a few weeks to finish this piece so I wasn't too far off :3 When you had pictures of your table at Coscon i had to look it up to see if it was anywhere remotly near me (Louisville, Kentucky). Newp. In your neck of the woods <3

I hope so! I would love to go to another con in the US right now, but just can't afford it! So I'm sticking to local Norwegian/Swedish cons for the moment, and hope to make Confuzzled in England next year, and possibly Eurofurence the year after.

smonda In reply to swandog [2011-09-24 20:43:16 +0000 UTC]

I'm just the opposite and would love to eventually make it to Europe. I only worry about the language barrier if I ever get the chance to attend EF. I know zero German and with the plane tickets costing around $1,000 US I don't see it ever happening XD

swandog In reply to smonda [2011-09-24 22:37:46 +0000 UTC]

You'll do fine at EF just speaking English, though you'll hear a lot of German. If you speak English to people, they'll speak it back. And yeah, the tickets are soooo expensive; also, EF falls during the school semester, which has kept us from going, because our kids are in school, and we can't take them out for something like EF. (And they don't allow kids or anyone under 18 at EF, so we can't take them with us; Sayh's mom would have to babysit, and I wouldn't feel right about asking her for that reason.)

smonda In reply to swandog [2011-09-25 13:36:49 +0000 UTC]

Whoa! I didn't know they had an 18+ restriction. It makes sense though. Yeah, if I had kids that age I would feel kind of sheepish about it too. I kind of feel the same way when I ask off work for conventions ^^'

This is beautiful! I love how crisp the colors are, and Fluttershy looks amazing in your style. I love the fun and calm atmosphere you've created with the colors and the lighting. Wonderful work

swandog In reply to SilverFlameWanderer [2011-09-23 17:22:41 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! The colors got a bit washed out/muddy-looking in the scan, so I had to adjust them digitally, and I never could get the shadows and highlights right (I suck at that), but I really appreciate that you like it anyway!

SilverFlameWanderer In reply to swandog [2011-09-24 04:34:24 +0000 UTC]

Oh they look great And I love how smooth the colors look! What techniques do you use?

swandog In reply to SilverFlameWanderer [2011-09-24 16:28:19 +0000 UTC]

I use colored pencils over artist markers and do a whole lot of "burnishing". I also had to use the smudge tool on a few places where the pencil coloring came out a bit grainy-looking in the scan.

SilverFlameWanderer In reply to swandog [2011-09-24 20:49:27 +0000 UTC]

Ah, very neat I've always admired the smoothness and cleanness of the colors in your work. And I love hearing about the different techniques that artists use
