Eeeee so cute! And very distinct with that color scheme. I just adore how their hair is bigger than they are! And the red wings, eyes, and tips of mane is the perfect touch. I don't know how you did it, but the holes in the hair look so natural I didn't even think to question it XP

He is GORGEOUS! I love the black "sock" markings. And the whites, blacks, reds, and blues come together so perfectly, I had no idea they could blend so well. I also love the dynamic pose, the outfit, and THAT CUTIE MARK! This guy has no many details that all come together so beautifully. (Also the blue on the tips of the wings, the face paint, and the fact that his hooves seem to be slightly different shades. I love it!

The title alone reminds me enough of Doctor Who's Season 4's Silence in the Library and Forest of the Dead.

"Hey, who turn out the lights?"

Me too. I immediately thought of that when I was typing the title and creeped myself out. XD

Guh-huh-huh-huh. That sky is beautiful, I can't stop staring at the shine in the lower right corner. Really gives off a great vibe of a setting sun (maybe rising, but it looks like it's setting to me~) And for a first time with CG armor, I think it turned out really nicely. They're difficult to see in the default view, but full view really shows off all the details of the whorl and swirl designs on the armor. 

(Also really like that symbol he has draped over his back. Is that a stylized yin and yang symbol?)

Eeeee thank you! Actually his armor is based off of this so it's part of the saddle thingy.

Oooooh I love this! The hair really stands out among all the other colors and I love your human drawing style. The glowy eye is a fantastic touch and I can't stop staring at the clothes. the folds are perfect and shaded so well!

I really need to sharpen my human drawing skills too.

"Dog try." XD

Oh my gosh, I love this! So cute and terrifying at the same time. Always a nice combination. I love Dog's name so much! I also love how the 'R' is backwards.

That is GORGEOUS. She was already a vibrant and beautiful character but now it's just stunning. The colors blend so well and I love how flowy the dress is. You have a keen sense of folds when it comes to clothing. I also love the background. The fading effect in the distance really sets everything in place and I adore how the dress is lightly dipped into the water, creating a little ripple effect. it gives off a very peaceful atmosphere. The pose and expression contribute to this as well. I love it!

Oh noes, I forgot to comment on this one! D: Firstly, female Inkbrand is adorable! And you're right, the first thing I noticed was how much I loved the way the face was drawn. Heck, I love how the whole thing is drawn but the face is super adorable. It would be amusing to see Inkbrand and socks come together in an RP. I like socks because of how simple it is to draw them and all the different colors and designs that can be added with little effort. Basically I'm lazy. XD But I'm surprised there aren't more sweaters and scarfs on ponies. I find those most adorable. Especially the turtle neck sweaters and scarfs that nearly engulf their faces. X3

Omg this style is the cutest thing. Look at the chibi little pones! I adore the expressions on each of their chubby little faces. Sky's is cracking me up for some reason. XD Again, I really love the writing and there is a very big sense of motion here too. The manes and stuff are lining up perfectly with the direction of the wind so it looks very smooth and flowy. These doodles are so simple yet so fun and adorable to look at.

Awwww, I love the little RP snap-shot doodles. The simplistic style is so cute. I love how the eyes are little dots and each character has emotes above them. It gives it such a sense of motion for some reason. And the handwritten title is super adorable.

Omg, look at these babies! I can't believe you have a special picture just for their log entries. It's so cool! in fact, your character log is so organized, informative, and ADORABLE! That little chibi group picture at the very top is too cute I can't handle it. Makes me want to fix the mess I call my character log XD I totally understand not being able to stop making OCs. It's just so much fun I tells ya. Besides, who would ever complain about new Zeig characters? I certainly wouldn't.

O.M.GOODNESS. I adore the way this character looks SO much! Zeig, your art made her look AMAZING! That mane is sooo pretty and fluffy looking and everything is drawn so awesomely. As always your style brings out the best in these characters. And LunarDisplay, the design for this pony is one of my absolute FAVORITES. The colors stand out so much and blend so so so well. As soon as I saw the thumbail, I had to click on it. She is freaking adorable!

Another thing, Lunar. You went through my gallery and liked a bunch of my pictures too and I SERIOUSLY appreciate it! Maybe when I open up the Peachy's Portraits thread, Starshine can drop by and get herself another drawing.

I love how complex and elegant his outfit is, not to mention intimidating. I know he's supposed to be evil but his hair is BEAUTIFUL! XD I love how the teal mane blends so well with his grey coat and the white tip at the end of the bangs is just what it needed. The red eyes really stand out too as well as the scars. Also his cutie mark is pretty. I love characters that are rather beautiful even though they're the bad guys.

Do tell me more...

Well the only thing that's keeping him in check is his bestie Inkbrand and the possibility of finding his sister again. They're the only opinions he cares about. However, he honestly can't stand the princesses or the political state of Equestria and is getting tired of sneaking around in the shadows. He is starting to get a bit power hungry, and if he thought he lost Inkbrand and gave up on finding his sister, there's a possibility of him turning to the dark side if someone gave him a little push.

And Zeig, another thing I forgot to mention about Shadowmane is that you really have her looking like she could be a number of things. She could be an extra tall/slim pony or maybe even an alicorn with a broken horn or something. I bet that's a theory someponies would have about her. It's so perf. X3

Awwwww, he's so cute. Look at the duckie on his cape! LOOK AT IT! I adore the purple accents in the handkerchief and the eyes. That combined with his main color and light tips makes his design so great. He's seriously one of my favorite diamond dogs I've seen. He's gonna be so adorable in action! X3

*GASP* I've been wanting to see a drawing of her. She looks amazing! I love the outfit and mask. So dignified, mysterious and menacing. You drew the hood so perfectly too, and the folds/details are spot on! Another thing I have to mention is THAT SYMBOL! I freaking love that. It's so sinister yet elegant.

If the right things happen at the right time, August might actually consider joining WRAITH.

Seriously McDerp. At some point you need to release a tutorial to explain your shading and lighting techniques. Or even just a "Watch Me" type deal where you speed through your drawing, because I just can't get over how vibrant your pictures are. The shine on his hair and tail, in particular, are just... 

*grabby hands*

Hehe I might do that, but I feel like I'm still learning so much myself. One of the main things I do is shade it with the "watercolor" brush and then touch it up with an extra layer on the "dodge" setting on FireAlpaca. After that, I use a hint of Color Balance on Photoshop CS.

Ooooh. He is fabulous! And good lord the art! That armor is drawn SO perfectly and I LOVE that shading! Just the perfect amount of light and dark. Speaking of which, that cutie mark looks amazing. I also can't stop staring at the details of the spear. Dawnguard's expression and pose are so theatrical and energetic,  there's just so much character to it. Amazing work! X3

I love the way the light is shining on them, and the eyes glowing in the background are placed really well. I feel like I could almost see what it might look like if someone turned the lights on. That grin by Heartless is quite chilling thanks to the glowing eyes as well as the reason behind it. I love that little fang sticking out. XP Very dynamic piece!

Backgrounds that are painted softly and sort of vaguely are my absolute favorite. Instead of adding every single crack, pebble, or blade of grass, the artist just relies on their keen sense of lighting and shape to paint the perfect amount of details were the viewer can very clearly tell what's been painted despite it not having as many details as it could have. That's what I'm seeing here and I freaking love it! The vines really help set the tone and I love how the it goes from dark inside the forest to bright out by the waterfall. And that light resting on the edges and the roots! It's got a fantastic atmosphere. I also love the title. Very awesome work!

Ooooh he looks great. What a neat new species too! Can't wait to get back into RPing. I really love his design. It's very earthy and soft. I'm really digging that one little white spot on his hair too, and of course the leg stripes! The expression and stray strands of hair gives him a nice rugged look, and the earring and necklace add a lot to him! I always forget about accessories when making characters. I also really like his name.

This idea would definitely make for an interesting RP. The creases in the snout and face are fantastic, and the tongue hanging out looks especially beastly. I also have to point how how much I like the circular shape of the clouds. It gives the picture a dynamic look, and so does the very well drawn perspective of Yuri herself. Very awesome while at the same time unsettling. I love images that make me feel conflicting emotions. XP

Omg I love all the colors! And the direction of the hair gives such a smooth sense of movement. I especially love the fuzzy cloven hooves. Also that expression is adorable. X3

Aaaah, I've missed seeing new art from you pop up in the gallery. Derpy's hair looks adorable in this picture, and so does her pleased little smile at her awesome landing. Pls to more McDerp artz.

(Also in case you hadn't heard, there have been changes to the forums RPing rules for cast characters. Cast are available for anyone who wants to RP a cast character (I think there are actually four Applejack players now), so you could totally ask for your Derpy app to be brought back and you wouldn't be hogging her at all).

Eeeee thanks! I'll probably be doing a lot more arts now. In fact, when I get back into RPing I'm thinking about opening another portrait drawing thread. And yeah, I did hear about that new change. I should probably go ahead and bring her back now cause I really do love RPing the Derps.

Ahhh this is the best. I really love how Inkbrand slowly deflates more and more as the animation goes on. I also love the simplistic style and the expressions are adorable.
