My Little Pony: Avatar is Magic (also Adopt-a-Pony)

[Eleanor_Rigby]

If all you ponytarists could give me some feedback on this I'd appreciate it: it doesn't feel right yet.
*pony*

Is this an Arthur Dent pony obtaining a substance that's almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea? If so:
Eeee!

I think the dressing gown looks kind of odd as it is, to be honest. Maybe try lengthening it so it can trail a bit? It's pretty tricky clothing ponies although I agree that a dressing gown is one of the best accessories for the character, assuming I've guessed it right. Maybe if all else fails, give up and drape a towel 'round his neck?

Edit: if it were me, the first change I'd try would be to extend the back of the gown so that it went round his hiney and down to about the midpoint of his legs. I like the way you've done the print on the gown and the part that's on his torso and the belt are very nice. The neckline looks like it could maybe use a little work and I'm not 100% sold on the hair/ mane for some reason. I'd probably have a bit of his right ear visible too assuming it's in the same position as the left ear, although I have no idea whether that would actually make it more accurate, it's just what I'd do. The hair should maybe angle downwards a tiny bit more and end lower on his head maybe stopping just a bit above the dressing gown collar...

Another Edit: Also just noticed he has a cuff on one sleeve of the gown but not the other. Both styles look fine to me, but for consistency I'm guessing you should go for one or the other.
Re: neckline, I think my problem is that it looks more like it would if he was facing us instead of the essentially profile pose he's in.

Another Edit:
While we're on the subject of sci-fi themed ponies....


Banter about a Bender pony had gone back and forth but I haven't seen one yet, so I made one. He's my first unicorn.
I know somebody said he'd "definately" be an earth pony but my reasoning was that having his antenna as a horn was too neat an idea to pass up, plus if he's just got hooves, how's he gonna bend girders??
Quite a few detours from standard ponies, but eh, he's a robo-pony.

It's unclear how he's facing. The profile of his head suggests a side-on shot, the neck of his robe suggests a 3/4 perspective, his legs suggest something almost side-on, and his belt doesn't connect properly (it's colliding with his flank atm).

I'd stick with the side-on view; you already have his head drawn and male heads are a PITA to draw in perspective view. Then move his right-front leg back a bit, shift the neckline on his robe to only show one half of it, adjust his legs to be properly in line, and bring his belt down and forward so it loops under his gut just in front of his thigh.

Nice work on the plaid pattern, though. Is it just a bunch of lines, or is there some other trickery going on?

[Eleanor_Rigby]

I'm gonna have to go back and change a few things on Bender. The stuff I noticed were:
- the front hooves are shaded the wrong way round
- one of the lines on the back left leg has and extra node that turns it into a little tick shape
- one of the lines on the front left leg coincides almost exactly with the bodyline which is a bit confusing
- the outerpart of the visor could use some work

The shading in the eyes are a bit of a jumble and the beer bottles could be put together a little less clumsily but I'm a bit to ham fisted to be able to do those too neatly so I'm likely to leave those. Might make the nostril a bit smaller though as it looks a bit sheep nosey as it is. If anything else looks like it ought to be changed, feel free to chime in with suggestions. I think the magic shapes could probably use some refining but I'm not sure. I think the edges are maybe a bit spikey and maybe the outline's too dark?

Just a quick thing, but you could probably make the beer bottle by drawing half of it, copying it and then flipping it, so it's symmetrical.

True.
Thanks. Also, hope I didn't go overboard with comments on your pony-in-progress. Was trying my best to be helpful!

No, I appreciate any feedback I can get.
v2:


New mane and tail, adjusted the profile, a cuff on the other sleeve (can't believe I missed that), and lengthened the dressing gown and moved the collar. In response to Alter's question, the pattern is just lots of lines.

The improvements are good and kudos on all those lines for the check pattern. That would be completely beyond me!
The greeny yellowy patch in the ear threw me for a bit but then I realised it's probably a babelfish? Maybe if there were clearer outlines, if the fish was bigger or if the tail was larger?
I'd make the robe hang down more too but that could be tricky.

Gender: It's a skeleton so....... Male just to set your mind at ease
Type: Skeleton Pegasus Unicorn (Pony version of my Avatar)
Coat color: It doesn't have a coat, but make sure to have splatters of blood on the bones here and there
Mane color and style: It also doesn't have a mane, but make sure to stretch out my avatar's helmet to fit the Unicorns head, extend the spines, and light them on fire with necrotic lime green fire
Eye color: Blood red (Just look at my avatars eyes to see how it's done)
Cutie mark:The symbol on this characters chest, preferably on the side of the pony
Pose: Front legs up, standing on its hind legs, wings outstretched, and ready to trample anyone
Expressions: Malicious sneer across the face, baring it's sharp teeth, waving it's bone tail
Accessories or costumes: My avatars armor, several spikes jutting forward from the horses shoulder pads, knee pads wiith a single spike out of each one (No armor below the knees and scarce armor on the thigh), A dull beige dead skin inbetween the bone wing's finger riddled with holes, good mixture of armor and exposed bones, skeleton hands coming out of the ground trying to grab at the horses hind legs, spike studded horse shoes.

Sorry if I'm asking for alot it's just that I want a malevelant evil Death Knight pony that wants to butcher all the other ponys for not inviting it to their ice cream socials.

ending result, i give up.. is too dificult for me...
and this wing.. is hard...

I'd like a Jayne pony, if someone would be so kind.

Gender: Male
Type: Earth pony
Coat color: The color of my current avatar's shirt.
Mane color and style: Short, black, plainish.
Eye color: Blue.
Cutie mark: The symbol on my current avatar's shirt. Or three grenades, if that doesn't work very well.
Pose: Any.
Expressions: Doesn't matter a lot, but should probably be kinda mean. Stupidly mean, not grim and intense.
Accessories or costumes: Must have the hat. This is essential. Can include Vera, but if you can't make it work/don't feel like doing the extra work, no big deal.

I wouldn't mind doing this, if no-one else objects.

That's actually really good, thanks.

Edit:Plus you drew it in 1 hour so I don't blame you for not making a Picaso.

Double Edit: But I won't use it as my avatar, instead I have something else in mind. If you've ever played Starcraft 2 then you obviously know of the Zerg. I'm thinking about a Zerg Pony. You can go nuts with this one, I don't really care for pose but if you want one then it would be goring a marine. Cutie Mark would be the Zerg symbol, and you can choose between Hydralisk, Zergling, and Ultralisk.

[Etcetera]

And the floodgates opened.

[amppi]

So you want to be a Pwny?

What is that supposed to mean?

[Irbis]

And the floodgates opened.

Yeah, sound the trumpets! Armageddon started!

[AlterForm]

What is that supposed to mean?

In case English isn't your first language, "pwn" (rhymes with "own") is a piece of internet slang associated with gamers. That is, it's a pun.

Also, request fulfillment will be slow due to the finishing out of the school year and the ED Friend-off. We may also have to relocate to handle interest levels without killing the gitp servers.

[leod]

Now if this isn't a fine thread, why, and how fine it is!
Do not believe I am not here to request my very own ponytar as you may call it as well, the more the merrier, after all!

Here are my specifications, as to make the fulfilling of my request as easy and fun as possible, I am very grateful in advance!

Gender:
Female, it is.

Type:
I do prefer Earth Ponies, so I will choose this.

Coat colour:
A shiny white is the colour of choice.

Mane colour and style:
A mane of a blonde colour would be most appreciated, reaching down to the base of her forelegs, ending in a curly manner.
The tail would be most silky, it too ending in a few curls.

Cutie Mark:
The mark would be a monocle, usually worn by only the finest of gentlemen.

Eye Colour:
Either a very bright green or a rather dull purple are what would seem most fitting in my eyes.
Do "go wild" on the eyelashes, whether they are long and appear in large numbers or short and only a few, I am ready for a surprise.

Pose:
It does not need to be anything fancy, general stance would be just dandy.

Expression:
Half opened eyes, a slight smile, looking at the viewer in a playful manner is what I regard most ladylike.

Accessories and costume:
A white tuxedo and a white top-hat will dress this lady, if the fulfiller of my request could do that.


If any further questions arise, do not be afraid to ask.

Edit: It seems as though I am supposed to include my desired resolution, my answer being that anything bigger or equal in size to 150x150 would be great.

Correct, English isn't my first language. So thanks for clarifying. Also, yes a gamer pony sounds fine to me.

I have been following MLP-FIM on Equestria Daily for a while now and someone was kind enough to invite us here for requests. I am working on a fanfic in my spare time and this would be the perfect time to get the primary character done, as I am about ready to post the first part.

I am not one of the well known authors, most of my writing the last few years has been of a more technical nature, and I know my editor keeps suggesting revisions to me, so I am likely still a week or two out from posting.
I will definitely be using this as an avatar on two of the forums I visit (Someone has to counter all the Rainbow Dash I find there, even if she is 20% cooler)

Any size avatar would be fine. (But larger resolutions would be ok too ;)



Gender: Female
Type: Unicorn Pony.
Coat color: A dark purple. (I keep thinking almost a black, but that might be just a little too dark.)
Mane color: Silver, a very slight shine if possible.
Mane style: Cross between Luna for style and Fluttershy for length (Nearly long enough to touch the ground.)
Eye color: Same color as Luna's coat
Cutie mark: A small quarter crescent moon surrounded equidistant by three stylized stars.
Pose & Expressions: Up to the artist. Something tranquil would be preferred, as the personality is a cross between Fluttershy's shyness and Rainbow Dash's image (Which can be seen as Canon when she occasionally slips in show)
Accessories or costumes: None

I wish to thank anyone who even considers my request in advance. I know how much work can be involved in even such simple images. Just send me a message if you want/need any more character background, I can link you to a (slightly) rough copy of what I have done.
