Around 2004 I adopted a peophin, I entered her into the BC and got gold! I've lost the peophin ages ago so I adopted a pet from the pound with a similar name (Andromedae) this time I wanted her to be a maraquan uni since it matches her design more (they werent released 2004) and today she actually go zapped maraquan in the lab ray! I'm so glad I could scream! xD I will enter the 2011 picture in the BC next week~

Wow your art is amazing! I love the Strawberry Aisha (she's a Aisha neopet, right?)

SillySmilez: Thank you, and yes it's sunflower. I should've used a reference though cause now that I look at mine she looks quite crooked at the neck  :redface:

Skelletonimp: Thank you, and yes it's a strawberry aisha with my own twist to it :3

I recognize that pony  :)  Her head is great, but I think the neck starts a little too far down the head.  It took quite a bit of analyzing to spot, but it's almost reptilian.

I love all the neopets, how cute!!!  I used to play all the time  :)  Haven't been on my account in years though

Zenna: I agree, there's definetly something wrong with the neck and you're right it does look reptilian!
MLP got me into neopets way back and I still play (casually). I altavista searched for my little pony adoptables and saw a link with a uni to neopets, sadly the unis were outright horrible back then so I settled with the dragons instead.

oh dang I love the way you render stuff! That strawberry thing is so cute >v<

Hrm for constructive criticism... the neck seems a bit thick. It seems to be starting from the chin.

The neopets are cute! I used to play that game. I love the drawings. . . . and wow, that's Sunflower? How pretty! :tackleglomp: Thank you for the art. :D

 :whoa:  Absolutely amazing! I could have sworn some of those neopets ones were official artwork!  :heart:  Well done!

Updated with somewhat slimmer neck, I hate the lineart on the hair though so I guess I'm not 100% done.


Ilya: Thanks for the redlining :D I couldnt look at it while editing (internet was down) but I tried to keep your line in mind.


Lina: It's not something I've laid any thought to, I will have to think it over ^^


Stomper: Yes, it's Sunflower she's not entirely finished yet but I'm glad you like her so far~


Lanner: Thank you very much  :heart:

OMG cuteness overload! O.O

I don't know a thing about Neopets but these are all absolutely adorable. I love the strawberry creature and  the chameleon in the last pic! The face it's making is priceless.

Your take on Sunflower is gorgeous, I'm sure you would have lots of takers should you decide to open commissions. :) I love the way you drew her muzzle, and the eye is beautiful - I could stare into her eye(s) for the whole day! Mesmerizing. Now that you fixed her neck I only spot some tiny details that look a bit off: the ear further away, the right one, could be a bit smaller to make the perspective look more realistic, and the left eye could be tilted a bit so that the inner edge follows the curve of her nose (the bone you have highlighted) so that it would match the right eye better. Right now the left eye appears to be lower than the right eye which looks like a random bump on her forehead. But as I said, these are minor things, I'm a sucker for equine anatomy. :blush:   
Oh, and that blush! Love it. So subtle yet what a difference it makes, it really makes the pony "glow". Very pretty!

I adore your soft style, definitely keeping an eye on your work. :lovey:

The necks looks much better now. The finished piece looks so good!

It looks awesome!!!  Changing the neck made all the difference in the world  :)

Griffin: The chameleon is a game mod (creatures 2) a friend made, I drew it as a gift. She drew me a pony in return http://fav.me/d4n5dl4
Thanks for the constructive critisizm, really helpful since I have a hard time drawing horses  :whoa:


Ilya: Thanks, I will tweak it some more though so it's not finished :D


Zenna: Eek! You have a Mucha-pony avatar, so pretty!

Havent been able to work at it, got down with a cold and I didnt want to do anything besides drinking tea.
Thanks for your kind works guys  :heart:
I use 'easy paint tool sai' by systemax http://www.systemax.jp/en/sai/ and a wacom graphire 4 for all my digital work. My tablet is breaking though, poor thing :(

My tablet pen is broken!  :yikes:
The rubber handle went from grey to yellow and then the plastic split.
Hopefully it isnt bad for the pen to be without a handle.
Title: Re: Shimmer's Art Thread
Post by: Arkillian on February 05, 2012, 02:06:58 AM
What is it? f it's not a cheap tablet then you can generally find new pens or even rubbers for them. My Wacom came with spares of all of that :)

It's a wacom graphire 4 pen, the only ones they're selling for it are brand new bamboo pens since the Graphire is quite obsolete. Though perhaps spare rubber handles from the intuos fit on it, who knows? :)

I got a replacement pen in the mail today! It arrived two days early X3
I added a preview of a cartoony wolf (I'm hoping it will be a lupe on neopets ín the end)

Anybody remeber Vixieneku (owned by Luminatii) on neopets? She was like Princess Celestia of neopets years ago, beautiful and magical! Luminatii's artworks were a huge inspiration for me when I was younger so I want to make a fanart of her.

What a cute bit of artwork there. It has this "painted" look while still being digital. :lovey:

I played neopets years and years ago, but I wasn't active in the community at all

Post by: Shimmer on February 29, 2012, 02:32:40 AM
Stomper: Thanks, I have trouble making "clean" digital art, I like to make them messy :)

Zenna: I found neopets around 2000 due to MLP, I was searching for pony adoptables when someone had posted a link to neopets with an image of an uni. I wasnt very active in the community either but I've tried to lurk less nowadays.
