Re: My Little Pony: Avatar is Magic (also Adopt-a-Pony)
You must start by collecting the juiciest and reddest apples you can find. Then you must scale the highest mountains in asian and locate the beautiful temple decorated with diamonds. There you will find a monk; give him the apples and then wait three days and three nights. He will present you with an unbaked Pie. You must then located the largest thunderstorm and find the exact center. It is at that spot a bolt of lightning will strike and you must bake the pie with that lightning. Afterward you must travel to the amazon forest, following the butterflies to find a shaman smoking on a bubble pipe. The shaman will present you with a magic spork which you will use to take one bite of the pie. you will enter a dreamlike state and it is then that you will meet the lady they call Faust who will ask you three questions. Answer to her satisfaction and she will impart upon you the knowledge of ponies and you will have what you need to become a ponytar artist.
good luckLast edited by slayerx; 2011-04-11 at 01:11 PM.

Re: My Little Pony: Avatar is Magic (also Adopt-a-Pony)
Alternatively, bring us a shrubbery.
Bluster in and take a request. I'm not actually a ponytarist, but with enough quick talking you can make people think you are!
Then complete the request and submit it for feedback. I believe Khosan is working on a guide, but if you want any advice feel free to ask me or someone. Or something.Last edited by Etcetera; 2011-04-11 at 01:20 PM.

Re: My Little Pony: Avatar is Magic (also Adopt-a-Pony)
Dang.
I just tried messing around, no wonder my avvie sized pony came out so darn fuzzy...
^ Therkla Pony... I was going to do one with a ninja suit and one without, but inkscape is hard man. Her right hind leg is a bit off and eyes are unreasonably hard for me. Off to the apple orchard I go...
(Therkla pony is ripped shamelessly off of the far more impressive Haley pony although I made the pieces myself)

Re: My Little Pony: Avatar is Magic (also Adopt-a-Pony)
Well I like it!
Biggest problems I can see: The left eye overlaps the edge. You need to move it a little, or add more edge.
And the mouth looks oddly placed... not good enough at art to know how to fix that one.Recent Homebrew: The Socialite | The Crystalline: Memory Altering Construct Race | Sanguine Hand, a ToB Discipline of blood and cruelty

Re: My Little Pony: Avatar is Magic (also Adopt-a-Pony)
I like it.
The mouth is an odd shape because it's drawn from a different angle to what I used for Haleyponi. The mouth should generally curve, and always touch the side of the muzzle in a side on picture. The hair looks like it needs some work: I can attest to how hard it is to get the hang of inkscape, but try smoothing the lines out by double clicking on the shape, clicking on one of the individual points and then adjusting the blue "handles" on the side.
I can give more feedback, if you'd like.

Is there a particular part of the hair that's especially bad or is it the whole mane and tail shebang? I prolly ought to have used a reference with Therkla's hood down for the top bit...
The eyes really were harder to do than I'd anticipated: do most people start with a circle for them or....?
And feedback is pretty much always appreciated
[looks at description in Therkla pony suggestion, looks back at Therkla pony]
....I think it's probably for the best that I didn't start with somebody's avatar request....

Re: My Little Pony: Avatar is Magic (also Adopt-a-Pony)
I find the hair generally looks better as several separate shapes, as opposed to just one. I tend to draw eyes using the bezier curve tool: I tend to trace the perfectly circular eyes, although I find angry eyes a lot easier to draw. Maybe try sketching the hair in photoshop or gimp and then draw over it in inkscape? I find it flows better are a result: while poni hairstyles are somewhat gravity defying normally, Therkla's does seem unnaturally so. The line of the bottom of the head shouldn't extent all the way over the neck, and I'd move the line on the right ear down and inwards. Also, the connection between the line of the neck and the chest is a little pointy.
I can appreciate the laptop tablet problem, though. I can't get inkscape to work with my tablet and I'm now working on a laptop with a tiny touchpad.
What did you use to resize the avi version of Therkla?

Re: My Little Pony: Avatar is Magic (also Adopt-a-Pony)
Which tools do you use for building the bodies? I squished up rectangles and a circle with Therkla and then joined them together althought the hair pieces I drew with the pen tool. I think I've got a lot of tinkering to do before I get the hang of inkscape...
I take your point about the gravity defying hair, I probably overdid the ponytailness there. Will try out more layered hair with the next try I think.

I opened the svg file up in gimp and then rescaled it to 120px width and saved as a png. I guess I could have cropped it a little closer first... there's probably also a neater way to rescale in inkscape that I've forgotten about...

Re: My Little Pony: Avatar is Magic (also Adopt-a-Pony)
I don't normally use a laptop for these things, but the last two requests I've done mostly on laptops due to travelling. Normally I have access to a mouse, fortunately. Your avi scale picture looks weirdly blurry (is the word aliased? I'm not sure), which is strange 'cos I resize things using the same method and I don't seem to have the same problem. Can't you use the autocrop tool in gimp for the closest cropping?

Re: My Little Pony: Avatar is Magic (also Adopt-a-Pony)
Well, finished product or not, I went ahead and added Therkla Pony to the OotS Ponytars (linked in my sig).

Re: My Little Pony: Avatar is Magic (also Adopt-a-Pony)
Wow, that was quick!
Changes ... well, there are a couple of things. Can you make her coat a little brighter? Like ... like Lily. (aka "The horror!!! *faints*") Maybe make the flower a little more vibrant?
Also, maybe make the mane and tail a little ... more interesting? Maybe more like Applecore's? (See the list of background ponies.) Maybe not have it covering the eyes so much?
Also, the expression seems a little ... off to me. I was thinking something like a comforting smile.
(Oh, also the back leg also looks a little ... odd, but that's not a big deal.)
Thanks, it looks pretty good otherwise. ^_^Originally Posted by TheAmishPirateSpoiler: Previous Avatars!

Re: My Little Pony: Avatar is Magic (also Adopt-a-Pony)
I'm not an avatarist, but I actually quite like your style. It's different and not as rounded/cutesy as other ponies usually are. Possibly due to her expression I like her eyes and eyebrows. (I've only just realized that ponies don't usually have eyebrows )
Also, I know we're not supposed to repost, but I requested a pony a few pages back and the list of incomplete requests in the first post hasn't even been updated recently? I'm sure I'm not the only one who hasn't gotten their pony yet >.>

Re: My Little Pony: Avatar is Magic (also Adopt-a-Pony)
Special Request!
Okay, this isn't really a "pony" per-se, but it's based on the show, so I'm counting it.
I want someone to make me a Dragon.
The Dragon should be...
-Based on Spike
-Have Orange outer Scales *Where Spike usually has purple*
-Yellow underbelly *Where Spike is usually green*
-Yellow top scales *Also where spike is usually green*
-Yellow eyes.
As for a pose...This:

Re: My Little Pony: Avatar is Magic (also Adopt-a-Pony)
Aw, thanks Ceric!
I have made some changes to the Therlka pony, however, although I think I left her eyebrows alone actually so... yup.
Not sure about the hair... I think it's an improvement on what I had before though so... meh.
She's also got a kind of underbite now, because I thought that was a nice touch, I just didn't know how to do it.
and new: ninja suit Therkla (I'd have given her a belt and a dagger but I'm too lazy.)
I'm not taking requests at the moment but I might do later on.

Can anyone do kinda like this, but in Clerics garb? Perhaps a holy symbol for celestia, if she's clad in armor.:
