Twilight accidentally summoned a spot of trouble. she could have tried to pinpoint its magical weak spot and force it back into the spell, but it could mess up her library. unfortunately, the best way is to just let it wrap you up and hypnotize you. you’d just have to rest in its coils for a few hours. She was scared and reluctant at first, but soon she found her resistance melting away.
How did you get that glow/shine in your recent picture? o:
Oh you mean the sort of glowy white around the outside? I just selected everything, then removed the colour and lineart layers from the selection (by holding control and alt and clicking on the layers/groups). then I made a layer above all the others and filled it white and just did a Gaussian blur. then as a little extra bit I got a screen layer where I gently brushed on some blue lol.
Drew a practice sketch of my OC. this is the style I used around 2014 to early 2015.
hmm I made his right ear (the flopped one) too long. It’s actually really hard to draw hiw ears in conjunction to his hair when his head is 3rd quater. I may need to change his deign just slightly.
Added clothing as an afterthought but if anything it made his chest look even MORE fluffy XD
oh the eye style though that’s my new one. people seemed to really like it on that Rarity one I drew a while back, got a handful of comments saying they loved her eyes.
This is an older pic I was drawing and just never finished. but I just realised how cute it was so dammit I’m uploading it haha.
I tried to move away from that really big pudgy nose and into something a bit smaller and more refined but I dunno. I think some of my best times were when I was using this style. also the ear and face too,
This is not another “Sorry for being so inactive” message. Although… I AM sorry for being inactive XD Copied from my Deviantart journal:
“
Right now, I am feeling really pumped up towards art. I wanna get off my butt and hit it hard. I have been so lazy and complacent lately. trying to force myself to continue with commissions, forgetting to enjoy and love those pieces too. I have been delaying too long the things I want to set up and do and so I think soon I am going to put those wheels in motion. Going to have to start scouting other artists too. You’ll all know what I’m rambling about when the time comes.
anywho, I’m in a really enthusiastic mood right now. why is it lately I’ve been feeling so terrible about my art? why haven’t I been enjoying it? I’ve felt like my art has slowed down. like people don’t care about it so much. the truth is my art is good. I don’t hate it, I’m not unhappy wit hit, I DO enjoy making it and I love the pictures I create but I have just not been showing them that love. I have been treating it like work and that’s not right. when my popularity started spiking, when I was at my best, when I was at my happiest, those were at the time when I was drawing a lot and giving it 100% of my effort and love. so that’s what I’m going to do again.
I think winter and the lack of sunlight and general moving around have got me feeling lethargic and weak which is partly responsible for not wanting to draw but I won’t take that as an excuse. I’m gonna draw anyway X3
So here’s what I’m actually going to be doing: I’ll keep experimenting with my style, with my lining and with my colouring. I’ll keep taking artists I like and learning from their styles like I was before and continue developing my own style from them. I also want to go back to using vector too. not completely, I’m not going to abandon my current style. but I just miss making vector pieces so I’m going to try making a few pics with that and see how people like it. as far as I have seen there aren’t all that many vector artists in the community :3
Furthermore, I have something much larger planned but I still want to try and finish my commissions and patreon raffle pics first.
Stay tuned!
