Arts & Crafts Corral / Any of you pony artists using Colors 3D?
« on: May 07, 2012, 09:45:03 AM »
So, I just recently bought Colors 3D for my 3DS, and despite my doubts, it's actually a really neat little app. Basically it's like a simplified, 3D Photoshop for the 3DS. One of my favorite features is that you can upload your art onto the online gallery, so everyone can see it and watch a playback of it being painted. Watching how other artists digitally paint has been really helpful to me, since I'm not very good at it myself. Plus, it's just fun :)


So, does anyone else here have a gallery I can browse? This is mine...only a few sloppy drawings so far (I'm still getting the hang of it!) but there IS pony art in there :) You don't need an account to view the site, but unfortunately without a 3Ds you won't be able to see it in 3D. (Bubbles looks MUCH cooler in 3D, I promise :P )

Arts & Crafts Corral / So, anyone like wingers?
« on: April 13, 2012, 09:43:05 AM »
No, it's not really new...I just haven't posted any art in a while and wanted to let everyone know that I'm still alive :P This is actually a picture I did last year for a commissioner. But the picture was part of a project, and I didn't want to post it until the entire thing had been finished and my commissioner received it and was happy with it. But then I got caught up with other things, and I never ended up posting it. So here it is now-- the entire set of Windy Wing ponies! These girls were so much work...and were all originally meant to be stand-alones without a background (which was added quickly and last-minute as a way to display the ponies better) which is why some of them don't fit in quite as well.


I think photobucket resized it and made it kind of fuzzy...You can see it better here on DA.

And here's a Gingerbread that I drew for the same commissioner. Not as fancy but still cute :)

Arts & Crafts Corral / Omg G2 art! (plus G1 Sunlight)
« on: February 18, 2012, 10:59:01 PM »
There is a troubling lack of G2 art. But they're kind of hard to draw, which is why I haven't really done any successful 2 stuff before. But I finally managed to come up with something! I was inspired by Dragonfly's beautiful colors (despite my lack of love for purple) but she didn't look as pretty in artwork form as her toy did. So I changed the colors to match my favorite US release G2, Sky Skimmer. And then I realized that their symbols matched and they'd make really good BFFs, so I used both versions in the same picture.

The rainbow I stole from google though. Who likely stole it from a MLP box :P I know it looks tacky just stuck in there but I really wanted the logo darn it!


And here's a piece of attempted G1 art too. (Colors and brightness are crap because it was a photo-- otherwise the glitter wouldn't show.) It...didn't come out quite like I'd hoped. Probably because bristol isn't really for watercoloring... >_>

Even though I was trying to stick to very specific styles for both pieces, I didn't use any references...So considering that, I think they came out looking fairly close-ish to what I was going for...just not spectacular by any means. But that's okay because they were both kind of experiments :P

Arts & Crafts Corral / Hurry back to Dream Castle
« on: January 19, 2012, 12:31:18 AM »

Here's some new art for the new site :)

Sprinkles and Parasol caught in a lightning storm. It looks like Parasol could use some help from the sea ponies to get her across that river!


Why Sprinkes and Parasol? I don't know :) I just like to draw random ponies, and those two were among those on a shelf near me at the time! I wanted to do something a little more dynamic than my usual art, and felt inspired by the scene from the beginning of Rescue at Midnight Castle with the ponies running from the dragons.

I do not claim to have any talent whatsoever when it comes to backgrounds :P
