Wow, you're amazing

Oh hey, Mudbug Lives!  And She's still amazing!

I mean, I haven't been here in like a year, which is about the frequency of my visits these days.  But I sawr a pony movie with my nephew and wanted to talk about it, so here I am!

...And yes.  I am doing well.

Whaat?  Mudbug is back?  What's uuuuup, mudbug?!  Hope you're doing better than Rainy Day here (you've just gotten better since I last saw your art)

Slowly, eventually.  It's a good distraction when I need it, but at 2-3 hours apiece, I'm not up to cranking them out.  Some folks might think these are quick shrink-and-fix jobs, but they're 95% by hand.

Also, the princesses will probably have to be redesigned completely.  The only possible way I can see to make them work is to make them foals, because there's a 27 pixel cap vertically, and their long horns and manes just don't fit.

The full set sized up, for those of you without super-vision.

Apple bloom looks really weird, but the reference image is all oblong and asymmetrical like that, so lol?

If you wish to discuss this, Rosewind, you know how to reach me privately. I don't feel that it's an appropriate discussion to have HERE, under the image, where people are just interested in seeing pretty pictures of ponies and talking about them.

I will say that personally, I support BBB displaying his art, and that if he must make an alteration to it to avoid violating any site rules, soft or hard, then so be it. This is wonderful work and he deserves to have it up for praise.

Now where have I seen this before...

She's half sheep half pony.

A Sony.

Neigh, that'd be a peep. It's science.

Yes. Seven to nine of my yesses!

Lies. This Nurse is a sheep. I see those cloven hooves! A Pony in sheep's clothing! Can't trust a nurse like that.

I like this one too. Carrot Top FTW! My favorite BG pony as well.

Mainly just fixed the horn, added another darker shade to the mane/tail and fixed a few minor shading issues.

Nonetheless, I went back and did more editing, because i always have to publish twice:

This was meant to be a reference image for testing out colours, then I just went overboard and finished it, hence the rather boring pose. What it lacks in dynamism, it makes up for in finish. Really proud of this one. Even if the horn IS too small. I'll just pretend that was intentional, and that Holly has an undersized horn.

That's awesome

Ooh, is she giving me the eye? Well, well, well!

So cute!

I should note that these were designed to fit within the board's current 27 pixel tall emoticon size. I modified things, the hair mostly, to keep them within the tight vertical constraints.

... Dess, what happened to your Rarity ._.?

Huh?

He is so pretty!

MUDBUG. We've missed you moar! And stuff like this pony is why. Good detail in the hair. The bang outlines and the hair streaks combine to give a good suggestion of volume.

Oh he(?)'s beautiful!

Legs are fine, neck and body are thick, if you're going for show style.

Love the c.olors!
