Finally a pony thread!

>ponyhour
count me in!

Last call.


for draw requests. or we could talk about our feelings.

>not putting your Spitfire in the fridge

Can't it be dog hour instead?

>>27083607
Spitfire drinking her sorrows away.

>>27083607
Draw some feelings.

>>27083607
What if I wanna talk about my car chases

goddamn dat Spitfire

>>27083564
>Alcohol

>>27083633
very carefully

>>27083633
No, fuck off

>>27083630
What if we combine the two?

>>27083633
Kinda hard to do on an already colored pic (I think Photoshop has some kind of trick you can do).

If you just have a piece of lineart it's easy.

it's pony related

>>27083607
Diamond Tiara and/or Silver Spoon becoming Rarity's shop assistant and their snarky, sassy, high-class attitudes reaching critical mass.

>>27083659
>>27083663
We're all pony fans. Show some love and tolerance.

>>27083678

>>27083670
I guess we can reach a compromise.

Can someone repost all the futa ponies? I keep missing them whenever MS makes a new one.

>>27083564
jack daniels is boring
give me some good rum instead

>>27083701
FiMchan or Paheal.

>>27083630
that's cool, too. i'm up for anything

>>27083623
impossible

>>27083684
Fuck no. But I can show some friendship, I guess. In 2010.

>>27083633
>>27083633

I'd suggest Photoshop and magic wand the lines then colors with the brush.
But that would be my lazy quick way.

>>27083701
ALL the dicks?
wait.

>>27083684
....nevermind i'll search the gimp archives or something

>>27083715
sweaty belt being retarded
go

>>27083744
So, any picture of seaty belt?

So, are ponies with simplistic/boring color schemes the equestrian equivalent of homely or ugly?

>>27083715
>4 minutes
FUCK you're quick.

>>27083744

>>27083715
Sounds about right.

>>27083773

>>27083627
feelings?

>>27083755
People with boring hair color can be very attractive.

I imagine they all look different from one another, it's just the copy/paste makes them look all the same.

>>27083791
it's pronounciated salty bells

Thanks to these threads of late, I can't get it out of my head that Sweetie Belle is a Beheaded Bomber from Serious Sam.

>>27083817
Put her in your mouth and suck her?

>>27083755
no
they are all adorable in their own way

>>27083761
yeah....i have that problem....

>>27083812

Yes, but people also look different. Ponies are almost all clones of one another, only their hair styles and colors are different, with precious few exceptions. So they have to have vastly different determiners as to what constitutes attractive or not, compared to people.

Making a ton of reaction pictures of Twilight.
Any suggestions?

>>27083627
FEELINGS!
http://youtu.be/GJtHW_f07nA

>>27083879
yes, invest your money in RIM

>>27083853
It's really just a time saving/cost cutting technique. The makers WANTED to give all the ponies different body shapes, but instead all they could manage was Snips and Snails.

>>27083829
Even Twist?

>>27083853
This may be delving a bit too far into... whatever it is we're delving into... but I don't think all the ponies would actually look identical to one another. It's just cheaper for them to do it that way for the animators.

>>27083564

awright, so, thunderhorse in season 2 as the new main villain; main six use the elements of harmony to try to defeat him, but it's not enough, and then celestia and luna engage in an epic battle that ravages the land

and, uh, it'll span across 2 episodes, no wait, the first two, like a season premiere?

that's all i got so far, also link for those who don't know about thunderhorse

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aE2_Rci8u2k&feature=BFa&list=FLXoHu8WnjZ6o&index=22

>>27083904
even twist.
now if you said Snips, i would've had to think about that for a while...

>>27083904

>>27083888

GET THE FUCK OUT

>>27083879
Looks like you're playing with a flash build, to me...

>>27083899
>limited budget
>give unique designs to the two most hated characters as apposed to the marketable main characters
>mfw

i give up. it's been a long day, but I'm home again. night dudes

>>27083944
why you hatin' on twist, bro

Anyone here have the "I WATCH IT FOR THE PLOT" image?

>>27083969
Why is that flutterfrog adorable to me. Some things I just don't understand.

>>27083940
Cute Snips is rare but it exists.

I just saw a MLP commercial on Boomerang. I can't wait to arbitrarily watch it al over again.
So how long till we get toys?

>>27084003
you know i do

>>27084008
WHY DO FRIENDS = GAY!?
WHY!?
Fuck.

>>27083998
Something about her voice really rubs me the wrong way.

I don't mind lisps, sometimes they can be endearing. But, the lisp combined with her accent, combined with her voice... It just annoys me greatly.

>>27083965
Close.
Been working on a template for myself so I didn't have to redraw them from nothing all the time for comics.
Still adding different expressions and such.
But for the most part I think I have Twilight done.

>>27084037
I think it's kind of cute.

Sweetie dump

>>27084018
WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOUR HAIIIIIR

>>27084033
It's just platonic dude love. It exists.

>>27084033
Nice dubs

I don't have any good screencaps that show Celestia's cutie mark very clearly, would anyone be kind enough to help me out? I want to be sure I get it right.

>>27084037
I find it ADORWABLE!

posting again for comedial value.

>>27084068

>>27084097

I wanted to see what the big deal was with this show, so I decided to watch it.

I watched the first and second episode, and I'm very VERY surprised to say that I actually enjoyed it. I had been really skeptical, and thought it was all pretty stupid, but now that I've given it a chance, I'm quite satisfied. Never thought I'd be saying this, but I really like the show a lot.

So as a new pony fan, is there anything I need to know to keep up with the community? You know, lingo, information, ect. Pony essentials, if you will.

>>27084091

Shut up, Faceless.

>>27084068
Why have a screen cap when you can have vector version of it:
http://mlp-vectorclub.deviantart.com/gallery/?set=29968952&offset=48#/d3gjklv

>>27084033

It's all your fault Rainbow Dash.

You started the gay.

And I love you for it.

>>27084114
These threads are horrible right now and if I were you i'd avoid them.

>>27084091
Did you make that? I lold

>>27084033
>>27084033
because friends being gay for each other is such an adorable plot device~

>>27084114

I read all that in Scout's voice.

>>27084126
>One night
>Like it means anything

>>27084114
YOU LIKE TINY PONIES TOO?!

>>27084114
There's far too many in jokes in these threads to list them all, but try and stay away from them unless you're good at ignoring things you don't like, as they can get pretty messy at times.

Don't feel the need to use 'brony', as a lot around here think it's pretty dumb.

And, well, good on your for giving the show a shot. Welcome and all that.

>>27084136
no, not me. someone posted it and I found it amusing.

>alsobesuretocheckforfilenamefirstifithasabunchofnumbersthatmeansitsasavedpicturek

>>27084114

EquestriaDaily has all news summed up every day, and it's the fanfiction central as well. If you decide to read fanfiction, start with older ones, most of the new pieces suck.

Oh and don't go to ponychan, it results in a serious brain damage.

>>27084091

>mfw that thing I made gets posted again

I thought no one noticed!

>>27084159
I ever tell you I hate you?

>>27084114
Just enjoy the show.
Feel free to post in these threads about any topic you wish.
That's about it.

>>27084129
For real? Thats a shame, just got into this.

>>27084114

The community is only good while show airs. So, right now it's pretty bad. You get a decent thread or two sometimes, if you're lucky, but mostly it's nothing worthwhile.

>Leth hates Twist

>>27084177
Only if you fuck my ass with all of your hate, and cum inside.

only then are you allowed to say you hate me.

>>27084152

>>27084129
This particular thread is pretty okay.

>>27084129
I kinda second this.

>>27084205
Okay, but only if you promise to not look me in the eyes afterwards.

>>27083938
>>27083938

opinions? critiques?

>>27084201
>>27084222
picture applies to both

>>27084222

Compared to the October-November threads, this thread is pretty fucking bad.

>>27084148
Good. I guess I'm the Scout now.

Alright co this is my frist time useing that
SAI drew rainbowdash going to spoiler it since
i'm ashamed of my newb art work fucking thought she was going to be easy mfw when i remember her rainbow hair also cant get the eyes right as always

>>27084230
deal.

>>27084114
Nah, not really. All of our deep and intricate inside jokes are pretty easily figured out in less than a second.

>>27084251

Just please don't go avatorfagging.

>>27083938
Now I remember what Flash animation usually looks like.

>>27084251
Don't open any spoilers faceless posts.

>>27084251
This confirms, once and for all, show is for baby men.

>>27084263
Nah, avatarfags piss me off. Just felt like posting that.

>>27084251
Might want to lay off the avatar fagging, although a few one-off reaction images are pretty acceptable.

>>27084240
You seem to be suffering from a severe case of nostalgiaitis. October-November threads were almost entirely "Welcome to the herd! Welcome to the herd! OMG HASBRO SUCKS! Hai guise have you read Cupcakes? kekekekekeke"

>>27084255
>open wings
>easy

>>27084255
I will have to see more before i can make an accurate rating of your talents.

Still going, yo.

http://www.livestream.com/itsponytime

>>27084097
Thank you!

>>27084119
Funny you bring that up, as that is actually what I most want, as it is my intent to use the cutie mark itself as a symbol of Celestia. (Or maybe not, I still haven't decided the exact background plan.) Just, before I used one, I wanted to make sure I did a comparison to the show's depictions to make sure it was reasonably accurate. I considered explaining that upfront but thought I'd just keep it simple but here I explained the whole process anyway so yeah. Anyway, thanks for the vector link, it looks pretty accurate compared to the screenshot earlier.

As long as everyone's being so helpful, could I also trouble you for a screencap of Celestia's castle on the mountainside and its surroundings and any shot that shows a good amount of generic background houses and streets of Ponyville? I'd like to get those right too.

>>27084255
Looks pretty good for a start.

I have little artistic merit to offer critique, other than to say some of the lines could use some smoothing. But that's a lot better than anything I could produce, so that's good.

>>27084310

Still better than this thread by a mile. I'd rather have that than Faceless.

And then there's this.

>>27084258
Sir, spoiler images like that please.

>>27084348
He's just one drama-queen furfag. I really don't mind him at all, he's harmless.

>>27084351
Why did you sexualized a fan character.

Why.

>>27084329

Were you even around? Just go to bed.

>>27084351
Good heavens, that flank is blank!

>>27084351
That's actually clever.

>>27084114

Finally braved your fear of rainbows, boy?

>>27084359

>>27084255

Here, have an eye reference.

>>27084310
I always hated Friday, Saturdays and Sundays.

Too many people trying to discuss the show while I was trying to discuss porn and ships.

>>27084375
I'm saying they aren't.

>>27084387
I cry every time I see Rainbow Dash.

>>27084411
sadly, my schedule did not allow me to catch the streams, so I always skipped weekend generals

>>27083678

>>27084418
Her voice is nice.

Last WIP update for tonight on my Gilda painting. Anything look off?

ranma 1/2 mlp crossover time?

>>27084418
I still tear up at sonic rainboom
I'm such a wreck

>>27084523
That's not exactly a ranma 1/2 crossover.

>>27084523

>>27084543

>>27084519
The fact that gilda has an ass.

>>27084523
I remember when this was first posted.
It stirred up quite the shitstorm.
That was back when we had decent people still among us though. It was a sad time for me and my ilk.

>>27084561
I think a lot of those people are still around. Just quieter about it.

I actually am putting some effort into this and would like people who are smarter than me to tell me if stuff like the legs look wrong so I can fix them, learn a lesson, and become a better art guy in the future.

>>27084561
yeah, it's a little depressing that now when I see it I think "at least it's not that rape thing again"

>>27084584

i thought i'd just let everyone know i am having a massive deja vu right now

>>27084561
Oh goodness, Anonymous.
So dramatic.

>>27084561
Shitstorm? About porn?

>>27084649
It's happened, yes.

>>27084642
That was some really short sex. One pump and they both cum?

>Jack Daniels

FUCKING HIPSTER DRAWFAG!

if i was an immortal pony, im pretty sure i could hang on to my sanity for at LEAST 1000 years, granted i could talk to other ponies

I JUST REALIZED, that the episode title Green Isn't Your Color doesn't only reference Rarity's hatred for the color green but also that Green represents Envy. Man that took forever to figure out.

Not a single picture of our Dear Leader in the entire topic. Somewhere, Somep0ny will be executed for this error.

>>27084519
the head, mainly. it's too round for the body type you're using.

>>27084745
I actually just did that in reverse due to your post.

>>27084745
>reference Rarity's hatred for the color green
Where'd you get that?

>>27084753

>>27084097

>>27084743
We don't know the average lifespan of a pony...
Though I suspect they are quite long lived.
Granny Smith was old as fuck when AJ was a Filly and she's still alive.

>>27084763
Green hair?

Wow it's late. Luna's shift is almost over on my end. Shall we usher her out?

>>27084757
Lots of work to do on the head still. Will try to flatten it a bit, maybe thicken the neck where it connects. Gilda's head is more squareish than the ponies anyway.

Thanks. I welcome constructive criticism.

>>27084763
Its in boast busters somewhere.

>>27084788
Sure.

>>27084808

Let's do this thing!

>>27084753

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAOTCtW9v0M&feature=BFa&list=FLXoHu8WnjZ6o&index=1

it's her theme

>>27084560
Lol
SO true

>>27084788
I like NMM

>>27084802
i actually tried to draw out what i was thinking and found myself having difficulty with the pose you're doing

so good luck with that. i'm off to bed

herpderp

>>27084855
It might be broken. Hoping not.

Anyway thanks again.

>>27084842
Oh sure, lets be completely non discrete again.

Guess what you mongoloids get to see more of?

Big fat Pinkie-Pie! You know you want to fuck her, fellas.

Sketches are now rendered in color block-o-vision! No more tornados worth of swirly, unreadable lines!

>>27084894
Dear God that style always creeps me out...

>>27084894
what tablet/program do you use and do you go by a name?

>>27084894
I love your style but I wish you'd actually make something funny instead of catering to some lame fetish.

>>27084918
I don't know his name but I got a folder full of him, I labeled it Bob Dole

>>27084977
His name is Ross Irving

>>27083564
Yay! thanks op.

>>27084603
Wow, okay. This is a bit odd for me to critique, but here we go!

You're doing better at adding darker values. The wings stand out as being flat though. Like cardboard shapes? Wings are tough, and not particularly my forte, but let me take a minute and try and blather about them anyway.

Thinking about the bones and meat of the wings as raw chicken ...arms? is disturbing and also helpful.

Its easier to break them down into a few layers of feathers. I usually do three on the underside, or two on top.

I really, really suggest looking up tutorials or diagrams about bird wings instead of taking anything I say about them at face value. Wings have some really fascinating bones and muscles hiding in them, but also something i tend to just make up a lot on when I'm drawing them.

With gilda's head, I suggest you take a look in the mirror, and take note of the sternocleidomastoid muscle. (actual name for easy googling, instead of "that muscle that runs from your neck to clavicle." Move your head and tilt it from different angles and notice where that muscle goes. It's a really good benchmark muscle to pay attention to when you're angling heads. Gilda's eye is nearly in the center of her head, when really I don't think she's be able to turn her head that far. (Even though birds are freakydeaky and can turn their heads like mutants. It's freaky, alright?)

>>27084642
I liked the
>I can't think straight....<3
and the glass bottom view on the last page.

>>27084986
Well screw it I've called him Bob Dole now to long to go back to anything else.
>>27084972
He does do funny stuff.
>pic related

>>27085025
I know, that's why I wonder why he even bothers with the fat fetish stuff. His art and humor can actually stand on their own.

>>27085010
noel?

>>27085046
Honestly his fat Pinkie is the only one I can stand, everyone else's just creep me out.

>>27085010
I more or less just outlined the wings. I was saving them for last because I wasn't sure how I wanted to do them (cartoony or more realistic, but both options are kind of intimidating). I think if I go cartoony with them though it'll look off. I may end up erasing a lot tomorrow.

Noted with the face. I'll try to figure something out.

Like 90% of the work I did today was on the legs exclusively. I "think" I got them looking the way I wanted finally.

Thanks again.

>>27085010
Sounds pretty useful, been having problems with wings, specially perspective, too.

Filename sounds about right?

>>27085029

>Fluttershy's panels

Wacom Bamboo CTE 650 model, Paint Tool SAI with line stabilizer set to S-7. I refuse to go by any identity anymore as having a name is for limelight lamers. People won't mistake the message for the messenger and what's drawn can be discussed rather than any bothersome pesonal details. The way an imageboard should be to be honest.

>>27085141

>>27085118
No problem, I kinda did it for myself.

>>27085146
Lol ok, just checking... I said and I'll repeat, wing perspective IS. A. BITCH.
I had thought of using layers, but even then... ughhhh. Maybe I should try picturing muscles too, not sure how much it would help drawing on model, though.

http://kp-shadowsquirrel.deviantart.com/art/Fluttershy-Pose-1-214476850

fuck, fluttershy has a lot of hair

>>27085171

How about no. Seriously, who the fuck else draws like me? No one. Not to say that's a good thing, it's just the way it is. Anyone who's watched classic cartoons should see a noticeable derivation of Clampett in the way I draw.

Guys, any of you encountered this?
It's seriously pissing me off, while I'm drawing, when the pen pressure is light, these lines appear. And I can't find anything on the issue. My tab's a Genius F509

>>27085181
If you're going to draw Gilda on model, then you forget anything you ever knew about lion or eagle anatomy. Just flat out forget it.

The basic shape is kind of there, but the wings in the show are super flat. Cardboard isn't a bad way to describe them. They bend kind of like fingers. Cardboard fingers. You can kind of sort of almost see a basic wing structure to them, re:bones.I don't know how to help out when it comes to drawing FIM wings on model, haha. Sorry!

Why hasn't there been a pony music video made with this song?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvO2IvL0sBM

Rarity + Spike

>>27085223
Looks like a hardware error. Must be annoyin.

>>27085246
Gonna have to ask for a replacement I guess. Somebody I know with a similar tab also had this issue, but he said it stopped happening after a short while. That's not my case though, it's getting worse.

>>27085224
He may have meant pegasus wings but it's probably applicable to them as well.

In related news Scootaloo's wings are so tiny. I was drawing a Scoots the other day from memory and realized after looking at a screenshot that I'd given her relatively large wings. Hers aren't just small because she's a filly. They're proportionately smaller than adult pegasi. And it's weird.

>>27085224
Thanks anyway! Actually I was thinking of Celestia (and not on this perspective here, but actually going into the background. In a diagonal line.). Both their wings are pretty detailed, and have more than one layer actually, I guess. Guess I was just rambling... but anyway, your insight may help, thanks!

>>27085200
why she got lips?

>>27085258
Well that's part of them being -baby- ponies, so to say...

>>27084788
Sure!

>>27085063
Yep, it's Noel.
Isn't it kinda obvious?

>>27085384
He really should make the moths smaller to avoid the lizard-snout.

>>27085200
The face is really creepy.

>>27085384
Haha, should I be concerned if a few wing sketches are very obviously mine?

...where's that picture of Lyra or Bon-Bon with a cup of coffee when I need it...

>HNNNNNG

>>27085449
QUALITY.

>>27085449
You need to rework the timing on that animation.

>>27085433
The picture plus the posting style kind of give it away.

Also, and this isn't a criticism, you use "haha" a lot. I tend to pick up on that.

Anyway, you're great, wonderful style, very helpful, and a pleasant addition to these threads.

Don't go changin'.

>>27085449

Excellent, just make it move a tad slower and you´re set.

>>27085433
I just find it funny that you don't use the name but even without - it is kinda obvious who is replying.

Heh, don't think there's reason for "concern", unless you're paranoid about "e-art-stalking" or something.

>>27085487
Oh! Well if it's just me being an obvious derp, that's just fine. I was wondering there was a glaringly terrible wing error I was prone to making without realizing. Which is very possible.

>>27085496

Not bad, actually. Just need to work the animation a bit, improvement comes with time.

It is also nice to see something different which does not involve shipping, lesbianism or ponies doing drugs...

>>27085518
Btw... this is the ONLY painted picture of MLP fanart from you I have in my gallery. Did you ever painted any other drawings beside this one? If so - care to upload?

On another note about artists... did Biscuits ever come back after the "Giant Fucking Book" drawing? Or Trackpad McDerp post anything after that time we spotted him, around the end of the season? Been trying to keep an eye on some cool elusive artists, but no success on these...

>>27085583
I wonder how many will show up again at the start of the next season and how many just vanished into the wild never to be seen again...

>>27085547
It's funny because I was working on a hentai game earlier.
But yeah, the ponies need more fun things.
Next time I'll actually take my time and such.
Did this in an hour or so and kinda half assed most of it...

>>27085495
Haha, it's true. Cue an art discussion, and I just can't help myself. I come crawling out of the woodwork and start blabbering half nonsense.

>>27085570
I dont THINK I've painted anything else for mlp. There are a couple of things I'd like to paint (some you guys have seen, some that you haven't) but I'm working on a gimpy older computer that can hardly handle me sketching for too long. My workhorse computer is off getting... well, not getting fixed, but hopefully it will be soon.

I've promised to stream myself painting a few things after I get my computer back, though.

>>27085602
Instead of using Flash tweening, try using keyframes. That would make the motion more controlled and natural.

>>27085593
Some have been really still on DA, not even uploading the pony requests they made here... I don't even want them to come back, I hope they get somewhere better to go.

Damn, there are some who have ony one pony illustration or so.

>>27085602
not of ponies I hope?

Type 'kawaii uguu pixel flag' into Google.
Go to images.

>>27085218
I... don't really see the Clampett influence. Though I do see some similarity to John K.

In any case, I would agree that the style stands out enough to make signatures redundant.

>>27085614
>Haha, it's true. Cue an art discussion, and I just can't help myself. I come crawling out of the woodwork and start blabbering half nonsense.

It's still helpful, and almost no one else takes the time to impart any advice in these threads so it's doubly valuable.

>>27085628
Just about anything you type into Google produces pony images. I can't remember what I was looking for exactly yesterday, but right on the first results page was a picture of ponies.

>>27085628

Smalltime.

Type "confound" into Google, go to images and scroll.

>>27085621
Yeah, I was thinking that too now that I look at it..
Next time I will.

>>27085625
Sadly, yes.
And I hate myself for it.

>>27085637
>See similarity to John K
>Don't see similarity to Clampett

Full retard?

Anyway Ross's style is more or less a fusion between the Belgian comics/cartoon style and Clampett. He still needs to sign his work though. All the cool kids do it.

>>27085645
I think it is really awesome how many people have become more interested in drawing because of this show. If I can do anything to help encourage the new artists, then I'm thrilled to help.
I hope Miz Faust knows about even half of them; I think she would be super proud.

>>27085672
I'm a huge fan of John K. and I don't see it. I'm also a huge fan f Clampett's work and that I see. Hell, that's what I expect for studying Clampett for an entire month.

>>27085679
>Miz
Ew.

It's Ms

>>27085698
...John K's style is a natural evolution of Clampett's style. It's like saying you see UPA influence in Dexter's Lab but no HB influence.

>>27085495
Not that I'm saying there's anything wrong with what you're doing or the explanation itself, in fact, it's always good to help explain things, but why is this the only style of digital coloring you ever see detailed explanations of? I'm pretty well schooled in the one layer per color, and one layer for each level of shadows and highlights under a line layer style. What I'd like to know more about is the more... painterly look? You know, with little or no contour lines, it all feels painted on one layer, the stuff that looks less digital. Nobody ever does detailed step-by-step explanations of that look, and that's what I want to learn more about.

Anyway, once again, not your fault or anything, just seeing this reminded me of a slightly related rant.

>>27085718
Yes I know that. I'm well aware that Clampett is one of John K.'s greater influences, but he has his own twist on the style. I just don't see it in that picture. Anyways. The art is splendid no matter what.

>>27085698
>>27085672

...You're talking about Clampett as in Bob, right?

>>27085736
Nah, I completely get where you're coming from. I'd be annoyed by it, too, if I were looking for colouring tutorials and stuff like that is all I found.

The reason I did it that was was because most of the people asking about learning how to use photoshop and shading were complete beginners. I really prefer painting on one layer, with no lines. My favorite thing about art is colour, and how it reacts to other colours around it.

There's also that explaining painting is a much more detailed process than "welp, heres a layer, a brush, and a multiple mode. Get to work!" It's more like... a semester class, instead of a few moments of how to.

If you ever want to watch me streaming in the future, that's probably the closest I'll get to "explaining" painting styles.

>>27085593
Nope.
This is the last thing I've got from her for my request (Spiek x battletoads crossover)

>>27085667
for fucks sake man, learn some self control

Ponyshit is shit

>>27085755

I thought we were talking about Jed...

>>27085784
No, ponyshit is manure.

>>27085736
Well, she once replied to that - take artistic classes/courses

it is not something that can be learned from "manual"

>>27085736
I was intimidated as hell starting out, but painting has been a pretty fun learning experience. I still probably have an inefficient method, but I've learned the most by doing.

One month as of today actually.

here, have something tasty to read

Stop. You're on a 6 month hiatas.

>>27085811
>You're on a 6 month hiatas.

That's a funny way to spell Hammer Time!

Thanks.

TL;DR

>>27085811
>stop talking about a show that's on the air in reruns, recently aired, and about to air new episodes in a few months

This is why there are no Venture Bros threads.

>>27085839
This is one of the better threads in a while:

- art discussion
- art discussion
- original content
- art discussion

Seriously, it's a top-tier thread.

>>27085849

I meant the sager.

My bad.

>>27085849
Night threads are not always the best threads.

But the best threads are always night threads.

Night threads are blessed by Luna.

Day threads on the other hoof...

>>27085891
Night threads usually suck, too, as far as I've seen, up until the end of the night. Then at the edge of dawn, we have a small window of decent threads.

...If we get lucky.

are there any moar of those food-poop fics out there?

>>27085891
Kloudmutt can't art

Both night and day threads suck an equal amount together.
The creepers never leave.

I'm going to agree.
This thread has to be one of the best I've been in.
Usually these pony threads just devolve into rule 34 and herp derp.

>>27085957
That'ssssss a very nice pony thread you have there.

>>27085766
So you think the lack of explanations for the, let's say, "painterly" look is just that it's so much more complicated? That would kinda make sense... But man, it's still frustrating. Like, just recently, an artist I follow a bit who usually does the painterly look finally did a detailed walk-through.... of the many layer standard digital style instead of his usual thing. ARGH.

And on the off chance people do sorta cover the painterly look, they focus on color theory and painting basics instead of what I want to know about- the actual work flow, brush settings used, do they keep a sketch layer on top for reference or paint over the lines, the hard technical details of actually making the digital painting itself. I know all about color theory and all that, I've have taken years of painting classes in all the main traditional media. Just, of the two colleges I've gone to, one had a very poor digital component entirely and the other just never really covered digital painting, so I've had trouble transitioning the painterly feel of oils to my digital work. Yet plenty of people do that look quite well and I am in awe of their skills, they just never explain the nitty-gritty, which frustrates me.

/b/ seems to have evolved a god damn good pony thread. its... actual discussion. what do?

>>27085971
I meant as in the people who talk about fucking ponies, pony sex, pony cosplay (HNNNG)
pony fapfics
(HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG)
Or being like /vp/ and roleplaying sexually/actually discussing sever sexual themes related to the show.

In every thread, it is a plague.

>>27085891
Sure they are.

>>27085988
>its... actual discussion
Pics or it didn't happen

>>27085963
The best thing we can do right now, as in us as the /co/ wing of the fandom, is learn how to simply leave the thread if it seems shitty.

>>27085988

Hey Beedrill, up early today I see.

>>27085955
Sure he can't.

>>27085955
I agree.

>>27085986
Here's the brush that Railgunner used to paint his CMC pic almost exclusively. It's SAI though.

>>27086012
If you really think that airbrushed, flat, poorly-shaded, blurry, poorly-illustrated bullshit is any good, you must have brain problems.

Look at the airbrushing. Look at it. For fuck's sake look at the pillars. I would call it "amateurish", but it's not even that.

>Spread

dammit all I see in mine is jibberish

>>27085986
Ahhh, thats... I'm not sure how to word myself, haha. I don't think it's more difficult, myself, but maybe that it requires more intuition or knowledge? (Or like SB: sheer determination.)

I think everyone who paints digitally has their own process. Something that's just more comfortable for any one person.

When I paint, I sometimes same the sketch layer, but almost never refer back to it. If I keep it, then it's just a hidden layer underneath my working layer. I grab a big messy brush and kind of redefine my big shapes and use it to lay out immediate shadows, lay down washy flat basic, and then just get to work. If something looks awkward to me, then I scribble it out with the background colour and redo it. If I'm about to make a change that I'm not sure I'll like, sometimes I duplicate the layer and work on the top layer. If it doesn't work out, I delete it and go back to the original.

With brushes I... I make mine up as I do. I have a couple of brushes that I prefer when laying in the colours originally, but really, the standard photoshop brush is used often as not. If I want a texture and I'm not getting it, I just mess around with making a new brush until I'm happy. I find other people's brushes are usually something I want to tweak anyway.

>>27086093
Wow, typos galore. Probably time to stop posting.

Aren't we getting close to the post limit?

>>27086072
Are you the same guy who were mad at his off-model stuff as well?

Kloudmutt promised to portray you as a mad monkey behind bulletproof glass, while he is drawing on-model pony in the other side.

Guess, I'll remind him today to do so. We need a special macros for such retards like you lol.

Okay, so, What the fuck is this? I know it's the turrets from Portal, but WHY?

>>27086188
No idea.

>>27086188
It's just a trick.
The only way to pass the room is to destroy the turrets.
She created the perfect trap...

>>27086188
I'm different.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!

Well this thread sure is something

>>27086172
even worse, it's probably the same person who drew those fugly-ass humans. Seriously, I want to like a picture without some idiot-savant art critic talking shit while presuming everyone knows/cares as much as they do.

I want this crossover so much

Funny thing is, yesterday or so I saw the SAME >>27085955 post, with no answers.

>>27086382
It's posted at least once a day for the last week.

Let's get this thread to image limit so we can start a new one.

>>27086504
Why?

I already explained about the snout and eyes, but feel free to igonre it. Also feel free to ignore the awful airbrushing and the dismal perspective in the other drawing.

Justify the way the bowls and pillars look. Go on. Justify it.

>>27086534
This is getting old...

Image limit you say?

>>27086232

Meh. It's almost the time they turn to shit, too. Maybe staying off the front page we can maintain some quality here.

>>27086546
Go on. Justify the way the pillars and the bowls look.

I wonder how many artist go through this?

>>27086569
I'm not a critic...
And I like his art.
And I never complain about something unless I can do better

Why the fuck not.

That's a funny way of saying "I know it's awful but I don't want to support the idea that Kloutmutt is actually a very poor artist."

I see what you did there

Also have some humans

>>27086610
You sure are better and can post your astonishing art.

Sorry man, "not knowing how to draw a cylinder in perspective" isn't a style.

>>27086646
Ya know, not that I support that guys dickery but I don't think you cant do better is an adequate defense of the quality of anything, unless I specifically say I can do better.
