My Rise and Fall: How I succumbed to MAGICAL FRIENDSHIP - Page 92

Eh, it's not that bad. Distract her with sweets, then capture her, then take her to HUB.

Day Four has begun, and Day Three's submissions are up.

I think I'm starting to notice some level of improvement on my part, if only in the form of how long it takes me to draw these things. My submission for Day Two was incredibly simple, but it took me about eight hours to finish. Day Three (#171), however, took only seven hours despite being a three panel comic with loads more detail.

Things I've learned from this:
-Do a rough sketch of the entire pony before moving on to finishing details. Rarity's mane ended up behind the Trixie Cape because I finished the latter before even touching the former.
-Don't forget to draw the ears.
-The 3DS' camera is terrible for taking pictures of hand-drawn things. Not only does it take pictures at an absurdly low quality (640x480 fuzzy JPGs), but it actually lies to you about the borders of what you're snapping.

Basically, when I took that picture, I was trying to get the whole three panel comic into frame without any of the stuff around the comic. It turns out though that the 3DS' camera actually takes pictures of a much larger area (about 1/2" or so on every side), meaning if I'd gotten closer I wouldn't have had to crop anything out or sacrifice as much of the image's quality as I did.

According to the growing Pardus Brony community...someone already has the eventuality of her escaping covered.

Edit: Can someone fix that?

What do you get when you combine my favorite pony with one of my favorite RPGs?

A Mess!

EDIT: A 'mess' that's nonetheless strangely addicting.

It's official, it's not just twentysomething people who like this show.

I think I may have bitten off more than I can chew with Day Five. Drawing your favorite pony with wings breaking the sound barrier.

So I decided to do another three panel comic, this time featuring Rarity driving the Blue Falcon.

The only problem is, panel two is supposed to be a shot of Rarity in the cockpit, which is... harder than I anticipated. I have no idea where to begin with it. Should it be front-view, shoulder-view, or side-view? Should I just make it completely inside the cockpit, or should I draw it from an outside perspective? And so on.

EDIT: Scrapped the first picture, stuck with a two panel comic instead. Finished early, but it feels really lazy. The first panel looks completely unfinished, and due to everything being really small and zoomed out in the second panel, there's a distinct blurriness and lack of detail to it.

EDIT: Decided to not submit it. Figured I was missing the real point of the exercise, which was drawing a pegasi, and also I feel like crap today and don't want to draw something again.

Dash is a physics-defying badass.

Aww, I was gona post that.

I've gone and made a liar of myself again and, in the span of about two hours, drew Ditzy Doo/Derpy Hooves going through her own version of a Sonic Rainboom.

It involves a crapton of bubbles and I am terrible at drawing bubbles, but it's done and submitted. Strangely enough, I'm feeling a lot better now.

Going to a convention, and want to cosplay?

Here's some Pony ideas.
