Artwork

    One of the things that has kept my interest in the MLP community has been the artistic component, both in the reuse of ponies as customs and the strong interest in 2D work. The customs get their own page, so this will be my repository of custom sketches, ATCs (Artist Trading Cards), and some photography to round off the 2D work. Enjoy!




      Custom Sketches and Drawings

    Daisy Pink
    Daisy was a custom idea I drew for PJ. I don't believe she knew I was going to make her a custom pony to go with the picture, though!
    Outline drawn in ink; colored in PSP9.

    Calico Kitty
    This is how the Calico Kitty custom was supposed to turn out. The pimp daddy look suits the Succubus' pony better though...
    Outline drawn in ink; colored in PSP9.

    Autumn Rose
    Another custom sketch. Of the three, this one came out closest to how the pony actually turned out when customized. Not happy with this drawing, though.
    Outline drawn in ink; colored in PSP9.

    Chromatone
    Another sketch for a pony I made for the Succubus. This one ended up much closer to the finished product than Calico Kitty.
    Outline drawn in ink; colored in PSP9.

    Khamsin
    This is my post-facto "sketch" of Khamsin, my persona pony. I had originally intended only a symbol on the butt, not a whole body TAF design, so my real sketch is useless. I stole some Hasbro lineart for this one.

    Pepperberry
    PJ was having a bad day, so I drew her a picture of Pepperberry on my lunch hour. I intended to make it so she could use it as an icon for LJ, but I didn't think it looked good enough reduced. *shrugs*
    Drawn entirely in PSP9.

     ATC Work

    RoseRebellion's First Swap
    Starhopper
    Sunspot
    Stardancer and Napper
    Sky Rocket
    Twinkler
    This was the first ATC swap hosted on the MLPTP, and I was lucky enough to join in the intermediate category to start. All ponies in colored pencil with metallic hair highlights; background is wrapping paper with construction paper border.

    Malinky's Postcard Swap
    Cloud Puff and the Golden Horseshoes
    Cloud Puff and the Giant Flowers
    Cloud Puff and the Frog Prince
    Cloud Puff and the Golden Apples
    Somewhere over the Rainbow
    Malinky hosted an ATC postcard swap which I participated in as well. Unfortunately, the swap never happened and I only have the images of the first four saved since I scanned them. The last card is one I kept for myself. All cards are acrylic paint with pen accents.

    Things With Wings
    Fronts
    Backs
    For RoseRebellion's swap "Things with Wings." You will note they are numbered for five. My personal card? Is not finished. Heh! All cards are marker with paper collage. Prints of these with new accent glitter were sent to WildWrangler as make up cards from the winter swap.

    Fall Swap
    Apple Spice
    Abracadabra
    Applejack
    Gusty
    Posey
    For ParadisePalms' fall swap. Cards are pen with watercolor.

    Halloween Swap
    Rarity's Pumpkin Patch
    For RoseRebellion's Halloween swap. My other completed cards were damaged by a pet accident, so only Rarity was used. Each person in the swap received a print with personalized accents. Rarity was watercolor with marker outlining.

    Carnival Swap
    Carnival Set One
    Carnival Set Two
    Carnival Set Three
    For ParadisePalm's swap. All cards are pen sketches with watercolor.

    Spring Swap
    For ParadisePalm's Spring/Easter/St. Patty's Day swap. All cards are pen sketches with watercolor and marker accents and some papercraft items as accents.

    Valentine Swap
    For ParadisePalm's swap. All cards are pen and watercolor sketches with a lacy overwrap sheet and pretty tissue paper backgrounds.

    Super Sunny Summer Swap
    Majesty, Windy, and Bonnie Bonnets
    Emberly, Baby Blossom, Waverunner, and Dancing Butterflies
    Sunlight, Bumblesweet, Sea Princess, and Pearly Princess
    For ParadisePalm's swap. All cards are pen sketches, colored pencil and pen accents, paper backgrounds, and rhinestone/confetti accents. Cards are also dusted with PearlEX Powder for extra shine on some accent areas.

    Fall/Winter Swap
    Covers One
    Covers Two
    Insides One
    Insides Two
    For ParadisePalm's swap. The cards fold into booklets and easily fit in a card holder. Images are pen sketches with watercolor.

    Whippet's Postcard Swap
    I was selected to make a card for Mirakat in a surprise swap. She listed her favorite ponies as Gusty, North Star, and Emberly, so that's who she got on her card. I displayed my art in the thread before I put her name on it, so this is not the "final" product, but the ponies, at least, are finished. Background is stamped paper; ponies are colored in marker.

    Costumes to Christmas Swap
    I ran a Halloween swap which was unfortunately delayed almost to Christmas. To make up for the tardiness, I drew a little tongue-in-cheek piece for all the participants. Art was computer generated, then printed out and colored with markers and accented with pearly powder and stickers.

    February and March 2010 Swaps
    Cherry Swap
    Flowering Trees Swap
    Victorian Valentine Swap
    I created these as bonus cards for the swap I ran at the MLPTP. The Cherry cards are digital, the Flowering Trees are ink, and the Valentines are ink and marker with various accent materials.

     Photos

    Sunlight and Starshine
    I got both of these ponies from a lot of bait. This picture was snapped right after I finished rehairing Starshine, but hadn't even cleaned Sunlight yet. (The Sunlight was rehaired later, no worries!)

    Gypsy's New 'Do
    I felt so bad when I pulled her out and snapped this "before" photo. Her hair literally disintigrated on the ride over from England. That's okay, though...I can rehair.

    Sunlight Family
    Those DG fakes are too awesome! This is the same Sunlight as above, rehaired, and her newborn. Guess she got knocked up on the road...to my house. *chuckles*

    There's a Posey in My Garden
    This Posey cleaned up so nicely I had to take a picture of her.
