The happy tails one is my last minute art contest submission :--)

----

Decided since i'll be sitting at a fair booth i should maybe take commissions lol! I'm drawing up a few examples, let me know what you think please??
Also, suggestions for pricing? I was thinking for this type, $8 for something like rainbow dash, $12 for something like port-o-bella with her background etc?? Please let me know if you think that's too high or low *blush* These are black/white ink on 8x6 brown paper, i will have bigger paper and white paper at the fair, plus colored pencils :-)

Oh goodness, I didn't know you were on the Arena too! XD

Hi!!

Love all the ones I got from you! I'll have to take pics when I'm at home =D

So someone else requested Majesty and Spike?! So precious and cute being all sleepy and being caried!

And Dainty Dahlia?!?

I need more arts! ^.~

Title: Re: Back from the fair! More traditional art!
Post by: Dainty on June 30, 2015, 02:24:32 PM

Thanks so much everyone :blush: I'm so happy that people like my art. I've been in a huge art slump but I feel so inspired now!!!

Wildshadow hi! I'm glad you liked everything, thanks for commissioning me so much! (And taking some of that barbie stuff off my hands LOL)
Yup, my booth buddy Lady Starflower saw me drawing that one for you, and wanted one for herself :) I wanted to make sure they were different enough, so yours is of majesty and spike heading out on an adventure... And lady starflowers is of them coming back! :lol:

I must have been bewitched at the fair... I visited your booth and even watched you drawing, and I never even said hi! I love the rustic look of your brown-paper art! Sorry I didn't say so in person... next year I will be better behaved! :hug:

:heart: pq

Title: Re: Back from the fair! More traditional art!
Post by: ponycake on July 01, 2015, 08:04:50 AM

I saw you and recognized you but forgot how good your work is, wish I would have gotten one as well! You are very good at executing ideas and making real scenes. So talented!

Title: Re: Back from the fair! More traditional art!
Post by: aquamarinemolly on July 01, 2015, 08:32:34 AM

These are absolutely gorgeous! I'd love to add one to my pony collection someday <3

Title: Re: Back from the fair! More traditional art!
Post by: Dainty on July 01, 2015, 09:38:47 AM

 :blush: :blush: ponyqueen I saw you but was too intimidated to say hello! Thanks so much for the compliment! Brown paper ones were my favorite to draw. I fear my white paper ones ended up looking a little bit like coloring book pages. I think I should be using finer pens but my hands are so shaky that can be hard sometimes. I have been meaning to invest in some copic markers so I may just not do much colored pencil on white unless people specifically request it, and do marker instead. ANYWAYS, thanks! :P :hug:

Thank you ponycake :) I feel bad because I think a few people recognized me and I didn't notice them because I was so busy with commissions LOL. Thank you though, scenes is something new to me as unfortunately I never really bothered to work on backgrounds when I was younger and drawing. So I'm very rusty. It will help some too I think when I have more than one light blue pencil and 3 greens hahaha!

raspberry and buttonso thanks! And wildshadow thanks for posting a pic, I was SOOO spacy this weekend and barely got any pictures of anything!

Title: Re: Back from the fair! More traditional art!
Post by: hathorcat on July 01, 2015, 03:15:50 PM

Oh my word :faint: Sunburst is absolutely stunning! When I get time over the next couple of weeks I must commission you for a Baby Fifi! :heart:

Title: Re: Back from the fair! More traditional art!
Post by: Dainty on July 01, 2015, 04:01:49 PM

Thanks! :blush:



Also an addition: Added a pic of my OC :---) I'm rather fond of her cutie mark. Dunno how good i am at drawing curls yet LOL

Title: Re: Back from the fair! More traditional art!
Post by: MsMedley on July 05, 2015, 09:01:24 AM

I'm so glad being at the fair helped get you out of your art slump :) Commissioning on-site is difficult, with the limited time and the nerves and having to also interact with people, and you were able to do so and keep the quality of your drawings top notch!

It was neat that with all the artists at the fair, all the styles were so different! I think doing art is so hard, because your putting a piece of yourself out there and hoping people like it. It's a vulnerability that I find really difficult to handle, but people in the MLP community are so sweet and supportive!

I hope you continue with the momentum the show gave you to keep drawing! You have a beautiful and distinctive style that I find really soft, lovely and sweet that matches the personalities of the ponies :)

Title: Re: Back from the fair! More traditional art!

Thank you for sharing your art with us.  I wish I was at the fair to see you work, I'm sure it was fascinating.  You've given the ponies such great expressions, I love them and your style.

Title: Re: Back from the fair! More traditional art!

Post by: ponygirl74 on July 26, 2015, 09:20:11 AM

I think your designs would work well on a shirt, you have a wonderful style.

Title: Re: daintys art! Shirt designs?
Post by: ponycake on July 26, 2015, 09:33:09 AM

She's cute! I used to make pony shirts and preferred Skreened over Redbubble. Redbubble gave me dull colors and a smaller image size on the shirts, iirc. It's worth ordering one yourself first to see how it is before launching the sales I think, that's what I did.

Title: Re: daintys art! Shirt designs?
Post by: Dainty on July 26, 2015, 10:43:28 AM

Thanks guys! :P

And thanks ponycake, I did check out skreened and you're right- the shirts will be a bit more expensive but they do offer a layer of white under the designs so theyll be WAY more vibrant- also, their standard shirts come in light pink which is the best color to put a pony design on, duh :lol:

I wonder if I can sell my designs on both sites? I would love to use skreened for shirts and then redbubble for stickers etc.

Title: Re: daintys art! Shirt designs?
Post by: ponycake on July 26, 2015, 11:15:39 AM

Probably! I wouldn't stop there though, might as well check into others cause I know what you mean, there is almost no room to profit from shirt to shirt. I looked into a few and it was too much trouble and Skreened seemed the easiest. I was seriously seriously upset when I got two shirts from Redbubble. One was my own, it was cut off even though it didn't show it was cut off in the preview, and the other was a MLP rainbow logo shirt and the colors were not rainbow, they were some ugly desaturated mess you would never call a rainbow. :(

Title: Re: daintys art! Shirt designs?
Post by: MsMedley on July 26, 2015, 02:38:40 PM

Those shirt designs are amazing! I love the colors. Did you make them into vector art? I hope your sales do well :)

Title: Re: daintys art! Shirt designs?
Post by: Dainty on July 26, 2015, 02:41:13 PM

Thanks!

I didn't do vector art, just high enough quality that theyll be fine for shirts :) I don't have much patience for pen tools and vector, so I really like my photoshop plugin Lazy Nezumi, it really helps steady my lines while still letting me draw freehand :)

@Dainty, DD was so excited to get the mail today (even though I didn't know if the drawing would be here yet or not), she went running down the driveway (which is, like, 500ft long), but was too short to open the mailbox. Apparently I was walking too slow for her, so after (im)patiently waiting for me to open the mailbox, she grabs the envelope from me, and books it back up the driveway. She is in love with the picture!! This is as still as I could get her to stand with it ;) now to find a frame and put it up in her bathroom :lovey:

Post by: CoonhoundBetty on November 06, 2015, 04:53:35 PM

I think it's pretty incredible that you captured the depth that Starglow's body has, with the stars inside her body. I always enjoy looking at your art, you have such an innocent, playful style.
