Arts and CraftsThe place to talk about stick figure avatars, graphic design, fan art, or any application of the visual arts and creative writing--or just to show off your latest masterwork!
Could you possibly do a video guide at some point? I'd love to be able to draw these, but I just don't know how.
It's not worth a video guide, really (and I think I do things differently than most artists) -- it's just a matter of pulling up a thousand references and spending the next few hours eyeballing them as I draw.

That's really cool. It looks kinda like a wood-golem armored suit pony.
I need to make this a character.
That's really well done though, really awesome!

Definitely.
Sounds odd, but it's always a nice bit of refreshment to find that you're as avid a fan of the show as us berserk ... Whatever-we-ares in the pony thread.
You do good work, mate. The Celunia (Lunestia?) is proof, especially with how willing you are to go back and change it.

You folks and your avatars... They are often as good a reference as stills from the show. It's astounding.

Re: My Little Pony: Avatar is Magic (also Adopt-a-Pony)
So, er, I'd like to request a ponytar?
I'd like it if it was the TF2 Sniper...
Gender: Male
Type: Earth Pony
Color: Blue
Cutie Mark: Sniper crest
Eye color: Blue, but he's wearing his sunglasses anyways.
Pose: On all fours, with the (regular) sniper rifle by his side, and wearing the razorback.
If there's a detail I missed, you're free to do whatever, unless you want me to specify it. Also, could I have a 80 x 80 pixel version of his head? :P
Thanks in advance!

But facing towards his head. Pose: A simple pose, sort of facing to the left of the screen, but with his head turned slightly towards you, and with the front hoof up in the air. Expression: Sort of a calm, confident smile.
Thanks in advance to whoever wants to do it.
Rawr.

Gender: Male Type: Earth pony Coat color: White Mane color and style Long and windswept dark brown mane Eye color: Glowing white or deep blue if previous option is impossible to make work Cutie mark: Silver shield Pose: Basic standing pose facing right, with left hoof holding a sword over left shoulder Expressions: Long-suffering expression or annoyed expression. If possible, long-suffering annoyance Accessories or costumes: Basically, this would be ponified version of my current avatar, so accessory would be the sword, and costume would be armour of blue crystal and white cape
Could someone pleeeeease do this for me? You will have hugs.
Bumping this, since I really wish to get a ponytar

Re: My Little Pony: Avatar is Magic (also Adopt-a-Pony)
You know, I'm surprised I haven't come in here before to make this request.
Basically, a ponified version of what I've already got, but I do enjoy filling out forms anyway.
Gender: Male Type: Unicorn pony Coat color: White Mane color and style: Dark green, long with bangs parted around the horn Eye color: Emerald Cutie mark: A tome Pose: One hoof up, almost pointing, but without exerting the leg. Expressions: Grinning Accessories or costumes: Red robe, gold trim, maybe some ioun stones.
Thanks in advance. :3
EDIT:
Basically, I was thinking something like this:

Only, y'know...all vector-y and colored-y and good looking-y. :3

Kurien wanders onto the thread. Xe sits and watches for some time (not quite sure just how long, xe wasn't paying attention) Suddenly, xe sits up, pulls a long, lazy stretch, and speaks:
"Dirtytabs, I do believe that was your moniker I have skimrused the last few pages of this delightful thread, and find your creations most exacting in conformility to Faust's designs! The proportions and shapes... impressive. Excuse me for asking, but how how long have you practisized digital drawing? Do you use one of those marvelous graphics tablets to illustrate these "ponytars"?"

Just dropping by a month later to check if my avatar request Homestar Canter is, in fact, being worked on. It says someone has accepted it, but i haven't received my requested PM saying so. Not to be impatient, but it has been a month...

Not very long, actually, especially for Faust-style ponies. I started drawing a couple ponies when I became a fan of the show, and they looked funny. Then a friend asked if I could draw for people on this thread. If you've seen the process, it takes a long time for me to get the shapes right sometimes. Yep! It speeds up the process.
