Marker Art for Newbies

[Frenzy]

I just recently got some markers, and I thought what better way to practice and break them in then on some pony art! I figured since it was recently my one year anniversary, it might be a fun to offer free art to new members on the arena who maybe haven't had a chance to have their favorite pony or OC drawn yet.
Of course this is open to everyone- I just remember an amazingly generous offer from Babushka shortly after I joined where she gave some of her extra ponies to new members.  It was such an awesome welcoming gesture, and since I haven't amassed a lot of extra ponies yet, I thought I'd try this instead! So, if you're new to the Arena or the Pony Art board, and you don't mind a fairly rusty artist taking a stab at your character, step right up!

Sure! Were you thinking the pony in your avatar or did you have something else in mind?

Aww that is really sweet of you. Congrats on your Arena-versary

pixie - I love what you did with your pony, obviously an animal lover.

[Frenzy]

Thanks Kiwi!

Pixieponies- lineart is done, I'll try to color it in tomorrow!

Could I possibly use my newbie credit to get one for a friend instead? I don't quite have my OC's details all banged out so why not a friends instead

If not more for other new people! I could always just get off my lazy but and doodle their OC's myself anyways : p

[pixieponies]

yay, thank you 

i had a look on your deviant art, do you still make plushies?

[ZennaBug]

You're so sweet, that's a wonderful offer.  I'm certainly not a noobie, but I can't wait to see what you draw.    And happy Arenaversary!

[Frenzy]

All done! I had to upload it quick to stop trying to fix all the things that were bugging me! Hope you like it! And I try to keep up with the plushies, but I am horrendously slow about working on them!

Aw, that's sweet! Let me know what you have in mind and I will see what I can do!

Thank you! I've been meaning to do more on the pony art thread and I thought this would be a fun start!

The first friend to respond in my skype chat was a guy who goes by BigJoe and here is his OC

Not at all, print away! Glad you liked her!

Mkanke, I just tried portrait-style for something different, hope that's ok! Man, who would have thought I could make so few colors end up so messy! Oh well, here he is anyway!

This is so sweet and cute and exciting! I would love it if you drew something for me I don't have an OC or persona really, although I want one. The closest thing I have is my avatar. I like her colours and I like that she is an alicorn, but I wish she had more personality or flair or attitude. My favourite canon ponies are Luna and Pinkie Pie. I don't know if any of that helps you at all, but I hope I've at least been a bit inspiring and you have fun! I'm so incredibly excited to see what you come up with

Edited to add: I also wish she had a cutie mark, but I have no idea what it should be.
