Rosedust (draw this again) + Wavy - UPDATE Streaky!

[Shaiyeh]

Hello ponies!

I started working on some pony art today, because I desperately want to update my blog banner and siggie here on the Arena, as I never was quite satisfied with the Rosedust  I made for it... I don't know what happened, but 2015 was not a good art year for me. I barely touched my pencils, I guess, and gosh... she's quite horrendous IMO.  Like, far from my regular art standard xD

While googling Rosedust for a good closeup of her symbol (because I'm too lazy to stretch over and grab mine who's on the desk >_>) I stumbled on this realllly old picture I drew of Rosedust back in '09 xD
So I thought I'd show you my new one I finished today (going to make another pony or two it use in the banner/sig as well, probably a sea pony and possibly a third one.) and then the 3 rosedusts next to each other in comparison xD

I hope you like her

**** UPDATE!! ****

I finished the banner/sig today. I was going to take longer to do it but I felt inspired, so I made a sea pony!
Wavy!

I then combined both pictures and stuck it in my sig (which is hopefully not too heavy! it should be within pixels tho xD)

They are beautiful!! She is such an elegant pony, and in all three of those pictures you have captured that perfectly.

I love your use of color in this! That's what I noticed, you went from solid colors to using multiple colors for a light and shade effect. That's something I need to work on more myself.

It looks like in 2015 you switched from traditional to digital. That can be a challenging adjustment for some people. Maybe that's what happened here?

Either way, they're all really quite lovely. Especially the newest one. She looks so polished? I think that's the word I'm looking for to describe her.

Thanks everyone

Duenia - no, I've been doing digital art since around '09 as well, I still do both
I think I had a bit of a style crisis during 2015, as well as not doing much art at all at the time. I think my skills just dwindled a bit since I didn't keep them up tbh ^^' idk if that makes sense. Thanks tho ^^ I wanted her to be shiny and pretty :') polished is a good word to describe it x)

So cute! I love how you added in green/blue shadows. Gives her a lovely "pop-out" look:D

[Shaiyeh]

Aww thank you Annie
