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.

Haunted Mansion shirts

Hello,

So I managed to make it all the way through September without posting anything. I would have taken this as a failure of my goal at one time, but ah, not this time. No, because now we're only a couple days into October and I'm posting something I actually like. Woo. 

So the company I do volunteer work for, Karma Incarnate, is taking me to Disneyland in a few weeks time and they wanted shirts made. I made a fairly poor showing which I'm not going to post here, because it's terrible and as soon as I'd finished it, underwhelmed as I was (but working with a fairly narrow deadline) I accidentally came up with something I liked better.

Before I show the finished piece, I'm going to post the originals because for some reason, all my best work is done in pencil. I don't think there's been a single thing I've ever drawn in which the inks and colored version look as good to me as the pencil sketches...but who knows? I've gone ahead and added the vector version next to the pencil one for comparison sake. 

Ghostly Rex

Ghostly Jake

Ghostly me

Ghostly Brock

Those are the individual versions. I think they came out quite well, all things considered. Here's what they look like in a set with a background (this is also the image which ended up being on the shirt).

Hitchhikers

Yeah, I think it's pretty great. Don't know about you, but I do. The coloration ended up being a little different than I'd wanted/expected, but it's not terrible and sort of has the look I wanted. 

Oh, hell, okay. Here's the one that I didn't like very much...

Rejection!

Yeah, it's a pretty poor bit of photo manipulation. May have been an off night, maybe it was just a stupid idea to begin with. Probably both. Maybe I just suck at it? Yeah, it's probably that one. Just know that the elements are there for something not quite so terrible. Maybe. 

So that's it for now. Some lovely character and vector art. Oh, and as a bonus, since almost no one ever sees my blog, I'll post some bonus art that I did for this. Enjoy!

It's bonus, so just deal with it. 

Now this one, I did it as an afterthought. I did the sketch first and was like...oh, I have three hours to kill here at work, so I'll just bang it out. In the end, obviously it falls apart on many, many levels...most notably the shadows which...ugh. Went way further than they should have. Still. I got all the way through the inking stage. Go me.
