Nice to see some originality.

Is the 'keeper' sorta stitched together like a plushie or an old toy? If so, good idea!

It's good to see more traditional mediums here.

Good work!

Good work!

The image isn't described so I've no idea if this is an original character of yours or...

I'll point out that hammering babies is against our terms of service... and against god.

Speaking of which... if olive oil comes from crushed olives... does baby oil come from crushed...?

I approve of this.

Good job!

It's cute and nice that you put Manestream's character, Lampwick, in there. She'll love it.

Is this KindleFire's cutiemark?

SkyMunki.

I'd like to personally tell you you've done an awesome job. I love that you've not gone an used a photoshop line-tool over screenshots of the show and actually sketched your work out then progressed it into a full colour work. It makes your art look REAL compared to all the "vectors" out there.

I'd like to invite you to create a guest banner for the site.

We'd love to see your effort get more widely known.

Thankyouverymuch.

Another Manestream look-a-like with wings?

In the interest of respect; you should credit the artist.

-your cheating

+you're cheating

While I suspect that art may be my special talent (I'm giving it 50/50 odds) just about anyone can get awesome skills if they practice at it.

That is all. :">

Your information is incorrect.

They would NEVER give the titles to 'soccer' clubs. You'll find the titles only go to 'Football' teams.

Try and keep things smoooooooth.

A nice easy way to clean up your lines is to use a smudge tool and just trace around the edges of your lines/image.

Yes, you posted it twice in a row.

Deleted your other one.

Good work, do more!

The more you do without copying, the better you'll get.

However! to improve you have to actively tweak what you do.

Top Tip:

Draw the same thing several times. (it might sound like a boring activity but the results will be awesome)

Take an image you've created and have a good look and decide what you'd want to change and start again using your first image as a reference.

If you like, you can take your 2nd image and do it again, changing something else.

This is what artists have been doing for centuries.

From what I hear, this chap wasn't a bad artist... I'd definitely follow his lead (just try not to go down the depression route).

She's missing the rock farm, is all.

5 stars!

if anything, it's the way to ruin gradients XD I only finger smudged because it's faster then colouring the whole paper it ended up giving me an interesting look though :3

Smudging doesn't ruin at all unless you're after a harder look.

For some things, especially smooth or web subjects it's just perfect!

Example (remind me to make a proper scan some day):

Finger smudging is always an awesome technique!

Good work!

Nice to see some original 3D work (rather than the millions of unoriginal replicas of show cast).

The legs are a bit distracting, though, they're defiantly the weakest part of the image.

Unfortuantely the MLP standard legs structures don't translate amazingly when converting to anthro. For drawing or working with anthros with digigrade legs it's best to keep an eye on the bone-structure comparatively to humans. On your image the 'ankle' is right up behind the knee so the 'shin' needs to be lengthened at least to make it about 20% cooler.

LOADS of tutorials online that'll help you practice.

5 Stars.

Everyone: If you like an image, please remember to rate as many stars as you deem appropriate!

Same goes for FanFiction too.

Love the style.

5 stars!
