Master of Chaos and Insanity

I wasn't too keen on Discord's design in the beginning, but you have no idea how much fun it is to draw him.  He's just...insane.  His eyes, his facial structure, the various animal parts to his body...it's crazy.

His face was the best part to draw.  So far he's the only MLP character that I've successfully drawn in my style.  It actually might be easier to portray the male characters in my style rather than the female ones as I'm more inclined to want to use more equine faces on them.  Not sure how "equine" this is but I tried as best as I could while trying to keep that crooked/bent look his muzzle has.

Also his eyes...Discord has the best eyes.  Ever.

Listen to The Stereo Tonight, Tonight, Tonight...

Hayaku...Let's play again...

I dunno why but every time I look at this that's what comes to mind.  That song from Katekyo Hitman Reborn.  Probably doesn't help that DJ's mix music and the word stereo's in there...

I might not be a hardcore pony fan, but that doesn't mean I don't like drawing the characters.  Especially in my own style.  I prefer it to Friendship is Magic style.  Which isn't to say I draw it better.  I just add in the details that I want to see is all (like hooves).

Anyways, love DJ Pon3's colors and expression and everything.  She just looks cool.  I was dying to draw in this toony style again so I did.  Every now and then I'll break out this style.  But I do want to figure out how to draw the ponies in my regular style instead.

MLP Contest Entry- Complete

Final product for the shirt design. The voting doesn't start until Oct. 25 so it's a little while until people can vote on it.

All in all I like how it turned out. Though I would've liked to have captured Rainbow Dash's personality a little better. I think I drew her eye a little too big for her head. She's my favorite pony, but I don't think I did her much justice.

Pinkie Pie turned out the best I think. She the one character that emotes the strongest so it was fun to draw her. She has to be my least favorite character in the series though. She's a bit too hyper, her voice is too annoying, and her actions are a bit too over the top.

Rarity turned out better than I thought she would. I think her personality and beauty is all in her eyes so once I got them colored up, she looked ten times better.

Applejack is a bit hit or miss for me. Drawing the ponies from a front view is difficult. I'm only halfway using the series style in this. And in the show when they're shown from a front view, they end up look a bit too human due to how short their muzzles are. I got it to work, but only a little bit.

It's difficult to mess up Fluttershy. I think no matter how she's drawn, she's always so adorable. So she's very adorable still here.

Twilight Sparkle...I may have drawn her eyes too large as well, but she still turned out looking okay.

And last but not least is Spike. He was the hardest one to fit into the picture. I felt he'd either be close to Twilight or Fluttershy so I decided to put him hanging on Twilight's back. Spike is the only character that I think looks good in his original style of the show. And he's probably my second favorite character.

Once the voting opens up I'll post another entry with the image of the shirt with this picture on it and a link to where you can vote. I figure even if I don't win, at least I tried.

MLP Contest Entry- Flat Color

All the flat colors minus their cutie marks (well the ones where their cutie marks are gonna show). From that angle, Rainbow Dash's tail's a bit awkward but I think it looks okay. I still have to say that Pinkie Pie looks the best here. She's my least favorite character 'cause she's insanely annoying, but she's the one who has the best emotions to draw since she's so happy and hyper.

Tomorrow I'll probably get the rest done. Or most of it. I'll at least get some of the shading done tomorrow. I still don't know how I'm detailing the sky-ish background. Leaving it as the gradient is probably a bit...boring.

More WIPs

Progress on a image for a My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic t-shirt contest. Did my best to fit all 7 of the main characters together. I like how it looks. It's not traditional MLP style. Admittedly, I'm not a giant fan of the art style of the series, but I do like some of the character designs. Particularly Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle. Then again...I do like brightly colored characters. Applejack's design is wonderful too. I hope people will like it when it's all colored up and submitted. If so, that's great. If not, at least I tried. ^^;



I'm sure this design is probably null and void right now. If the class doesn't want to use it anymore then I suppose I'll keep it and then sell him off or discard him if no one else wants him. Apparently he needs to be more "funny" (whatever that means). I did sketch up a more "humorous" version of him but in all honesty, it's just really stupid. The new one I sketched up that is...I personally like him looking threatening but my opinion counts for nothing.

If anything this class has taught me I will never do art for a job unless I can go by my own rules. So probably selling cosplay parts and props at conventions or something like that. Otherwise I'll just be selfish with my art. It'll be for me and me alone...
