Description
This is about the closest thing you'll ever get to an art dump from me xD Since my nature I don't have work worth dumping in the traditional sense. I've been doing this stuff on and off lately for a while, practicing different shapes, poses, pegasi... still need to give my hoof to stallions and other stuff. And other stuff xDCameo appearance by Eclipse Cadenza c:
In particular, I hate how Luna came out. I thought it would be easy and she was like, no, I'm going to be hard. I need to try again later ;_; But not right away. Gots other things to do.

Back when I was slightly more freeform and also when I was trying more to be exact with the show's style, where shape was much more important than shading, yes, it's easy to mimic their raw shadeless shapes. Plus I had a lot more room in this style to space them out correctly.
Don't make me go back to this style

I just felt like being a jerk last night, since I somehow came across this.
I understand that larger sprites allow for easier manipulation of shapes/pixels as opposed to smaller sprites, which require more precise pixel placement and shading to look as good.
And I love your icons too much to want you to start going back to this style

In all right honesty, this art was meant to sort of be an evolution of my old style, combining the icons' general shading/shaping laws with a more detailed size... but for one reason or another, it never really took off with me after the first sprite. As much as I appreciate my own attempt, I am really not super happy with the result, particularly mostly on Lapis's face >~> That is not an attractive face or manecut if you ask me. But I do still want to give this another try. If I can combine the old and new skills to create a larger and appealing product, I should. More learning experience too, of course :o
As for icons, I feel like I've reached the ceiling with those. They've evolved a lot since my first icons of Chatter and Eclipse, and I'm glad that people love the icons so much, but I'm not sure how much more improvement I can squeeze out of them. There's no need to fix something that's not broken, of course, but I guess that even I'm not free of the chains of always wanting to improve what I do. I feel that all my recent icons are a little "samey" in terms of general posing and structure. The dynamic isn't all that huge.
I'm sorry that I'm talking your head off :C I'm glad you like my icons so much, though. It means I'm doing it right.

Oh, haha~ Thank you :P I've kind of stopped doing the comments on the images like that. I find I prefer it without all the text. But it was fun while it lasted.
