I need to do something for you now. Uhm. Happy birthday while I think!
Thanqol.
You've kept at it for almost 250 days now. You've grown a LOT artistically. You've inspired several other people on Gitp to follow your example. You're friendly, open to critisism, and you use your art for good. You're awesome.
So, um... happy Escape Womb Day!
Draw on!
Yeah, i'd call that deserved. :smallsmile:
>_>
<_<
Any chance I could get one of those chibitars? I'm going to get in on the vagueness and not ask for anything. I won't even put up the actual human version of Kyouhen just to see what you come up with. :smalltongue:
You know what, now that everyone's talking avatars, I am reminded that I'm set to get my hat back next week from Domo, and I will be needing to replace my avatar then, too...
*thoughtful chin scratch*
Well... I feel sheepish for asking this...
SpoilerCould you draw chibi human Candle Keeper? Here are some reference pictures...

The disposition of the first two, wearing the clothes of the last one? Although you could wave the hat if you wanted. ^^
If you need ideas, I treasure few things as much as art commissions :smallsmile:
Case in point :smallbiggrin:. Thank you very much, for your encouragement and advice. Thanks for the picture, and I'll try to make sure she assaults someone with that cake.
Thank you :smallsmile:
Thanks! Glad you like it!
Sure; they're fun and they don't take long to do!
Can do!
On the list!
Hey, Thanqol.
So, if you're still taking requests, I have ... a bit of an odd one. First off, some background. Recently, I've been very nervous about coming out as transgendered to people IRL, considering I look about as girlish as a bulldozer with flames painted on the side. Which led to Becca (Soft Serve) saying, "What does it say about me that I would totally imagine seeing Pinkie or Rainbow Dash in one of those before any guy I know?"
....Which leads me to my request. Can you draw Pinkie Pie and/or Rainbow Dash driving a bulldozer with flames painted on the side?
Then find someone who can and inflict upon them threats/hugs/money!
Don't feel obligated, though, really. The sentiment counts for plenty :smallsmile:
Sure but it's going to have to wait for the end of minimalism week/until the backlog is cleared. :smallsmile:
Day 249: Minimalism Week #5
Whoops, I accidentally Skyrimmed my day. Intended to get a bunch more than this done. Figured out in my head how to manage Raz's request, too, should see that today/tomorrow.
Kyohen: I think of this every time you post, dunno why.

Thanqol, will you mind if I rise to the occasion? Heavy machinery is just too much up my alley not to have just been inspired to draw this one:
Spoilerhttp://dl.dropbox.com/u/4152380/BDRace.jpg
Some design errors on Pinkie's dozer (there's supposed to be another piston visible), and RD's dozer seems off perspective, but I think it's not too bad for a random sketch. :)
Hawkflight seems to be asking for something more along the lines of an avatar though, so that's just me being artistically impulsive. 'sides, nobody asks me to draw anything for them, so I get my ideas where I can. :smallsmile:
...maybe I really should start my own thread.
Ha! Nice :smallbiggrin: I admit, I was dreading having to draw more heavy machinery, it's something I need to work at.
If you're taking requests, I can and will spam you with requests.Quote:

Also, I think starting your own thread would be a good idea. There's a lot of good artists who drop in on this thread to give advice who I'm fairly sure don't browse the ponythread group one. It'd make it more about you, which is a good thing :smallsmile:
I don't take requests per se, but I like people throwing random ideas around, it helps fuel me creative machinery. :smallsmile:
And I'll start my own thread once I've completed that new scene of mine, so I have something nice to start it off with. *Pinkie promises*
(has nothing to do with the latest MLP episode, or how I never consider my works "complete" >_>)
My big suggestions are mostly along the lines of character redesigns. Draw the Mane 6 as manticores! Draw the Evil Goatee Universe Ponies! Draw Metal Mask as a gryphon! The challenge in all of these it to capture the essential attitude of the character in a new visual format.
Did you see how subtle I was about slipping 'draw pictures of my characters' in there? It's like I hardly have any selfish motives at all!
I look forwards to it!Quote:

You don't know why? Nuts. I'd love to know how you came up with this one. Mostly the scales. Oh well, it's still awesome! :smallbiggrin:
Holy bloody hells that's good. Mind if I ask what you did that with? I'm mostly wondering if the linework was done digitally then cleaned up or if it's completely physical. Also what program you used.
Photoshop CS5 (or 5.1, don't care enough to remember), three-pixel hard brush, second pass digital sketch. Meaning I sketched together outlines of how it things looked, collapsed everything, and made a more detailed sketch on top. Then added solid grey to flames. About 60 to 90 minutes overall, didn't really time it.
The eye-with-line thing cutie mark indicates blindness, and blindness is also associated with Justice. Cutie mark interpretation; it can make you a thief or it can make you a judge or it can make you a spelunker. Only when you decide which one it actually means does it's potential close.
*Rolls into the thread*
Hey, I've been watching this thread ever since it started, and I've been personally amazed by what you've done. Keep up the good work!
Also, I would like one of those minimalistic chibi avatars......That is.....if you don't mind.......
*Drops a smokebomb, dives through the window*
Maybe I can write something. LixieMask cuddles or something self-indulgent like that. :smalltongue:

I recently started keeping a folder in my Pictures folder just called 'Awesome Art' for pictures I want to keep track of that aren't ponies.
This went in it. Pretty.
I wish I could give a more coherent answer but my brain makes those leaps of association sometimes and I can't really do anything about it.
If nothing else, I'm curious to see other authors' takes on my characters' personalities :smallsmile:
Thank you :smallredface:Quote:

Day 250: Minimalism Week #6
God, I'm going to be sad to see the end of Minimalism Week. I finally hit the balance between speed and style I wanted, and I learned so much about not overdetailing and basic shapes. On the plus side, it's replacement is going to be Dragon Month!
Smokebombs eh?

Also, for Raz_Fox:
http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/6320/day250.png
http://img507.imageshack.us/img507/5307/day250av.png
This took me a while to work out because drawing 'a fox' in this style is really, really hard - it automatically looks like a cat because of the rounded head. And then I realised I was doing it wrong - I should be drawing what a fox is rather than what a fox looks like.
EDIT: Almost forgot Tec's request!

I'll take up your offer for a Minimalism Week avvie. Surprise me :smallsmile:
I'd like an avatar too if you don't mind... But since I don't have an Established Forum Personality™, just do whatever you think is best.
I guess I'll put in a request, Crossings doing some stupid nature-based thing like in all those survivalist shows. Your choice on his dumb activity of choice.
You are totally awesome, Senor. I love it. So much.
