The most defining quality of my full-scene pieces tends to be "looks twice as good at half the resolution".

I likely won't be submitting this one for anything. Not quite in the theme of the challenge, and not refined enough for the drawfriend.

I agree with Diego Havoc, the picture is awesome.
Actually, I really like the cracks in the floor and the floor in general. My only real criticism on that is that you *may* want to shade them with a slightly darker color to add a bit more detail on them. Stone floor tiles often aren't smooth and have imperfections, groves, and so on and you could use a darker color to add more detail maybe. But on the flipside, you may not want that much detail on the floor since it is just a floor. And, who knows? Equestria may have magical waxers and sanders. Other then that, the floor is great.
Yeah... I used to work with flooring...

Oh yes, and Twilight is looking snazzy too!
You've shown a lot of deviance with a single eye.

On the comic, I really hope you take a whack at it, and you already have a writer volunteer! Besides, I want to see your mechs and characters in action!

If you don't have any real comic experience, the only possible hurdle that I can think of is that you'll have to take a conscious effort to plan out your panels in advance in a rough draft to make sure the comic flows, which I read supposedly throws many for a loop. But I blabber.

Anyway, I forgot to post my stuff from yesterday, which was just a little more human proportion practice.

Verdict: Meh. This is what happens when you learn anatomy from a "how to draw manga" book.

For something far superior (and pony-related!) please gaze upon my submission for the EqD training grounds:

Is it not nifty?

Actually, I think I may have first learned about anatomy from a "How to Draw Manga" book... No wonder I still don't know much about it.

Fluttershy and Angel in knight armor is wonderful!

"Go to the moon! And take your cheap suit with you!"
-Rarity, after dominating Blueblood.

For those of you who are wondering what weapons I tried to draw there, Rarity is using the Diamondback, and Blueblood is using the Big Earner. I tried to draw a rose on Blueblood's lapel, but it doesn't seem to work well w/o color.

Plus a quick and dirty sketch of the scene from Meet the Scout as a pony and a griffon:

Now it might not quite work for the Artist Training Ground, but... It's TF2, so it's worth a shot.

Rarity Spy versus. Blueblood Spy. It's like Spy vs Spy action! Alright, I admit I don't play TF2, but I do like the idea of a Blueblood spy. But then again, I love Prince Blueblood.

Some pony art,

I didn't get around to drawing anything serious today because of certain real life distractions. But I did draw Applejack with random shading! Yay for greyscale pictures!
I didn't use any references for this AJ so she's off model. And wearing a dirty apron, at first it was clean, but then I remembered, this is Applejack, I'm sure when baking she gets down and dirty.
