Title: Pony Watercolor Project (New: Paradise)
Post by: ColdRuru on January 25, 2018, 12:35:18 PM

Hi Everyone!
I started to draw ponies for Intktober (I've posted the first ones I've done here, on a topic about) then I add to give up a bit. But I'm back with them, as I wanted to finish the project.

 :blush: So you may have already seen...

Don't be shy and let me know what you thinks. I'm would like to sell the originals drawing, maybe print and take commission in the future... :) Thanks.

Stunning!!!  Not only are the ponies beautiful, but the backgrounds are breathtaking.  I love how you did Minty's reflection as another generation.  Looking forward to seeing Seashell when she is finished!

Thanks you so much!
I'm trying to stick to the original pony's artworks I love so much, but of course with my own way of drawing/coloring.

I love the backgrounds!
And, of course the ponies too. As a person who isn't great at background.....at all...it is great seeing these really elaborate BGs that are also very fitting. The minty/minty reflection in the water is a great cross-gen idea too. Twilight's background is my fave, but what's the skull doing? Is it a dead pony? Something else?
Inktober is a big challenge, but the result here is really cool!

Thanks a lot to all of you, it really warms me up to read your comments! :blush:

Well, you're not the first person asking for the skull, to be honest I just wanted to contrast the idea of magical unicorn. You can put the explanation you want magic spell, macabre found, immortal fate, bad trick/trap?
To me it's a just a mirror, somethin' feared but not specially real. As a powerfull unicorns like Twilight could have been into dark magic once, just to see? We cannot tell the pony land in the cartoon is only good, no?
Also I started wanting an halloween themed inktober, but finally gets on just drawing the ponies :biggrin:

I know it has been said, but your Minty picture is very very clever. Your art is really pretty- your pictures are all fun to look at, and look like something even my non-pony- loving mother-in-law would have on her wall! I am excited to see more!

Saddly, I've got nothing "pony" new, as I was working lately on a huge commission for a Japanese guy who wanted his cats to be portrayed.
I drop the picture here:

Don't worry, I will do it.
My first goal is to finish the first serie (two more pegasus to go) and then I will offer both original and prints for sale. Also as commission will be available :whoa:
I'm working hard to find the best printer I can to provide quality prints and up to two format (original A4 and poster A3).


Also, I'm back to work with the next one!
Was a bit challenging as rainbows are difficult to paint!

Yes I'm thinking of prints (and maybe t-shirt if I can found somethin' that works with my quality standard).
Got a lot of technical difficulties to handle like, the expensive shipping fees from my country :cry:
But I will be working on it, sorry for the TIME it take me!

Speaking of wich, the last pony of serie 1 is coming... slowly... because of... things...
