Title: NanoRuby's Art (July/Art Fight Update on Pg 3)
Post by: NanoRuby on August 12, 2020, 10:08:46 PM
EDIT: This thread was previously called "Quick Gusty Art" but I changed it so that I can post whatever here

Was unsure about posting this here since my art's not really as fancy or detailed as most artists on here, but I'm still quite proud of it so I figured I'd post it anyway.

Here's a drawing I did recently of Gusty, one of my favourite characters from the original cartoon! I don't know what it is about her design, but I absolutely love it.

Any criticism or feedback is welcome!

I really like your art style.

All styles and skill levels are welcome here :lovey:

And it looks great! I love her fluffy chest and fetlocks and the dynamic pose. ^^ I also like how you played with the outline colour to make it look like her horn was glowing. :heart:

It looks like she's on her way home during a very blustery day. Cute.

as a fellow artist, I have to say that no good can come from comparing your art to other’s. It’s fine if your art isn’t as detailed or elaborate as other people’s might be. Art can also be simplistic and minimalistic. Don’t put your art down for what you think it lacks by comparison. Your art is your own. Embrace it.
That aside- I like this determined looking drawing you did of Gusty.

You know, you're right. I forget that sometimes, sorry. Thank you for reminding me.

In other news I've started a drawing of Fizzy in a similar style, so hopefully I'll have that finished soon.

I like the lion tail style of unicorn. For some reason (I suppose the hair, expression, and hoof pointing) she reminds me of Phoenix Wright :lol: I really like your angular style. :)

This art style is so cool and dynamic!  I like how you've given Gusty the kind of traditional unicorn-type tail, and those furry feet.   :cool:  I can't wait to see more ponies in this style!

Thank you!

And I guess Gusty's a lawyer now

Finally found the motivation to get the drawing of Fizzie done. Really bothered by her hind legs being too close together but oh well. I'm too lazy to go back and fix it. Her eyes were really fun to draw, maybe I'll do some more twinkle-eyed ponies next.

I really like Gusty's tail.  I'm a fan of tails like that on unicorns and it reminds me of the Last Unicorn.

Thank you! I love drawing lion-like tails on unicorns, they're really fun to draw.

Fizzy is so tall!!! I love it xxx

I'm glad I was able to portray that properly then. I like giving ponies different body types and features from each other. So Gusty had a sharper horn, larger hooves and a stockier body, while Fizzie has a rounder horn, daintier hooves and is a bit taller and skinnier.

Winter art! Snow'el II is one of my favourite G3 ponies, so I'm so happy that I finally got around to drawing her.

The res looks a little low, so if you click on the picture it will take you to the Deviantart posting, which has a higher quality version.

Thank you! And I hope you're able to get one some day.

I've got a bit of a dump of stuff I've been working on recently.

First off I gave my sona a bit of a redesign and a new name. I'm pretty happy with how they turned out!

I also designed a new flutter pony for myself who I hope to make into a custom once I can find a good bait pony. This is Poppy, and she's a ghost!

Non-ghost version under spoiler:

I made a little doodle of my design for Majesty, though I'm not sure if I like the wings. When I digitise it I might keep her just a unicorn.

And finally on the photography side of things, I set up a little display with my G3 ice cream truck. It makes me smile whenever I walk past it!

Quick drawing of the potential g5 unicorn. She's a cutie!

If they really are confirmed to be real at the investors meeting then I'll probably do a larger picture with the pink pegasus and orange earth pony as well.
Title: Re: NanoRuby's Art

She looks lovely

Thank you, Ponybookworm!

Well, they were confirmed to be real so here's my larger picture, though with dudebro pony instead of the pegasus. I'll add her later once we've seen her 3d design.

(Also please ignore my attempt at drawing a braid, I probably should have looked up how to do that beforehand...)

Adorable! And don't worry, the braid looks fine!

It's been a while since I've posted properly, but I've been drawing quite a lot during the past month thanks to Art Fight. These are some of my favourite drawings that I made for the event (put under spoilers because there are quite a few and I didn't want the post to be too long). I've included the character name and username for each drawing's recipient.

Merrygoat for Ridi (who's also here on the arena!):

And, just because I'm really proud of how much I've improved, here's the single pony I drew for AF last year. I sometimes get upset and feel like my art isn't very good, but when I look at this older piece I get super happy when I see how much better I've gotten!

This was a piece of Lullaby for Angel_D00dles.

Oh hi! There you are! Thank you so much again for the piece, I love your art so much!  :lovey:

You've been busy! These are great, I love that you're experimenting with different poses and angles. The versatility will surely speed up your improvement. And like you said, you've already come a really long way!

It's hard to pick favourites but I particularly like Dex Texture: while the pose is seemingly static, there are a lot of small details which add to an overall sense of movement: the raised leg (obviously), the right hind hoof slightly turned toward the viewer, the tilted neck and perky ears, the eyebrow, and the necktie. Well done!
