Fancy Shmancy Work Sketches


Hello all,

So this is what I was doing at work the other day instead of listening to the calls... I decided to try and match one of my favorite artists, Drew Struzan, at least in terms of style. I may not have not managed it great, I was using pencil after all, but I think I did pretty good. I like them anyway.

Indy, Conan, and Mike
 I don't know if you can tell, but that's Indiana Jones (that one I used the cover of Genesis Deluge which is one of Struzans actual works as reference) and then Conan O'Brien and Mike Nelson.

I guess I can do a little more than draw ponies.

Update: Not Comic Sans

So just so we're all aware, the title header for my posts is not supposed to be ComicSans. If it's showing that way then it's displaying improperly. Yes, I did need to make a post about this because I'm not one of those people who still thinks it's acceptable to use ComicSans as a typeface.

Some Character Art I finished

So I did some more pony stuff, I know, it's a shock...but I'm posting it cause I finished it and because I think I did a pretty good job of capturing the look of the show on both pieces.

Shine from Equestria Girls
So if you haven't seen My Little Pony Equestria Girls or Rainbow Rocks you probably won't appreciate this one, but it's basically ponies as humans in a parallel universe. It's silly, but the music is great. Anyway, I made this for my friend Winter and I am thrilled with how it came out. The perspective was tricky because of their shape but I think the result was worth it.

Sapphire Night Classic
Sapphire Night Princess

Now these ones are a little more usual. It's Sapphire Night as a basic Alicorn (if such a thing exists, I guess) and then as a Princess. These ones match the look of the show which is good, but also they're both the same picture. I was able to work with layers and minimal editing to make one picture work for both. There's a reason I needed to do that, but frankly it's not interesting unless you roleplay, so I won't bore you. Suffice to say, it came out quite good, I feel.

Green Week logo


Prizes!
And because I'm super generous, I'm uploading some more straight-up Vector art I did. The first is the logo for Fillydelphia.com's Green Week event, which is basically Splatoon except for ponies. It's a week long event and this year they let me make the logo, which is cool. I also made the prize ribbons (above) which are very similar to the work I've done for MLPNWRP site... To be honest, I'm not in love with these ones, but I had to get them done quickly. I did learn more about Illustrator though, so... thats always a plus.
