More Gifts/Drawfriend Doodle-Roundup #5!

Good morning all! After what has been ages, I've taken a small break from my regularly-scheduled commission work and done a few pieces of personal fanart, as well as another gift or two that I'm very happy to be able to share you all! It's been forever since I've had the occasion to make a post such as this, so without further ado, here they are~

First off is a doodle which has probably been a long time coming, and which I've mentioned wanting to do many times but just have never gotten around to: my first-ever fanart of Spitfire! I've been kicking around this idea for ages now but after a recent conversation on my previous post about said pony, and after learning that I'd missed my friend Kateasaurus' birthday (she's a big fan of Spitfire) I decided there was no time like the present. Hopefully you enjoy her especially, Katie-dear, because she was made with you in mind and I wanted to do something to make up for missing your birthday!

..Okay, I know what you all are probably thinking and really, I have no excuse for myself. But I can say at least that I originally made the sketch of this picture months ago! This doodle is a reference to a line in a fanfiction, Diamond in the Rough, that described Fluttershy "joylessly pounding down shot after shot like an old, bitter alcoholic". As out of character as it was I still found the mental image hilarious the first time I read the story, and told the author in my comments on the EqD thread that someday, I would make a fanart of the idea. Nearly six months later, I have at last.

D'aww, Twilight Sparkle can be so adorable when she wants to be. This picture was a definite quickie and was not inspired by anything in particular, just the result of some random sketching I did while working on my upcoming commissioned piece. She looked so cute that I decided to finish her, and I suppose more Twilight is always welcome by many of you besides.

Yes, once again I know what you all are thinking, but for once I have created a piece of Rarijack fanart for somebody other than myself! This picture was done as a birthday gift for a friend of mine, who happens to like this pairing about as much as I do and who I had discussed the idea of an artwork with, the end consensus being that an excessively adorable picture of Applejack and Rarity together was in order (hopefully I managed to achieve just that). Though I think it's pretty decidedly shippy, I suppose there's still enough wiggle-room in personal interpretations to imagine this as more of a friendshipping picture for those who are so inclined... in any case I only hope that you're happy with it dear friend of mine because that's all that matters to me. *^_^* Excessively adorable ponies~~

Well it's a relatively small offering of artworks for a Roundup this time around, and in all fairness a few of them are a step or two above many of my doodles, but I'm merely excited to get some personal artworks up again and am happy I was able to squeeze these out in the record time that I did. Coming up next is another commission, which if all goes according to plan I will be able to share with you all very soon. Until then, stay lovely dears~!

Drawfriend Doodle-Roundup #4

Good evening, dearest readers~!

Once again, I simply must sing the praises of days off from work... I feel so accomplished after having all day to tick off item after item from what had been a frighteningly burgeoning task list. There's still a lot left, but at least I was able to make a dent, including finishing up some quick pony-doodles that had been sketched out over the past week and a half! So while it's not the largest or most impressive compilation, hopefully you all will enjoy them all the same~
 

Okay, I'll be the first to admit that this one might not be what I'd normally consider a doodle, strictly speaking, but it's going up here anyway. I probably don't draw enough Rainbow Dash, so for all of her fans out there, this one is for you!

I made myself sad with this drawing... TT_TT I don't know the story behind it or what even gave me the idea in the first place, but it just came out as I was aimlessly sketching. Poor Applejack. She looks a bit younger here too, so one can only guess what might be the reason for her sadness... as usual I'll leave that up to each of you to interpret as you choose!

On a cheerier note, and speaking of ponies I don't draw enough, I realized the other day that there is a very conspicuous absence of Twilight Sparkle in my past several entries, and that just won't do at all. So have this doodle of therapist-Twilight, whom I believe I promised I'd draw weeks and weeks ago, in my comments on EqD's Lesson Zero thread. Better late than never I suppose, no?

..Okay, I'm sorry, but this really was just screaming to be done, really it was! This is another piece that I had the idea for ages ago, but just have never gotten around to drawing for one reason or another until now. So, uhm, yes.... enjoy?

 And actually, that was going to be it; originally I only had for pieces to put up here, but then I realized that meant a Roundup without Rarity (*GASP!*), which of course could not be allowed to happen. So have a turbo-quickie minimalist doodle of our favorite fashion-pony as a bonus, huzzah~

And that is it for the artwork this time around, I'm afraid. As always though, there are more projects in the works, including a few more commissioned pieces which I look forward to being able to share with you all at some point in the future. Until then, dears~!

Drawfriend Doodle-Roundup #3

See my commentary about the way I title these things on my last roundup post... I still don't know how appropriate it is. Oh well though.

Anyhow, yay, some more new artwork to share, already! Thank goodness for days off. I was able to get a few little sketches of days past colored up today, have found a few potential qualifiers for a place to live (one to be seen tomorrow), and have this week's recorded episode of America's Next Top Model to watch a little bit later tonight (joy~)... life is good for the moment. So on that happy note, have some pony-doodles.

I don't care if I've said it before, Applejack truly needs more love, and I at least intend to do my best to show her some! Despite the more finished look to this picture (as compared to most of my other pony doodles) I actually got this done in pretty record time... I surprised myself actually.

Yay Applejack. <3

Ahaha, talk about a speed-doodle! This picture was drawn and colored very quickly, but it turned out decent enough despite this, I suppose. Embrace the excessive cuteness that is Fluttershy.

Ahhh my favorite guilty pleasure (well next to Mexican food that is.. *aherm*)... I told you all you're bound to get this sooner or later. And usually sooner. For those who are so inclined, have some implied Rarijack fluffiness, and for those who are not so, err... feel free to interpret this as you will!

Though it is a bit belated now, I told Derpy on her EqD birthday thread that I would draw her a fanart, and I meant it! I know it's not much but I like to hope she'd enjoy it all the same. This was also my first time drawing our favorite wonky pegasus and I very much enjoyed the experience. ^^

And lastly, have something a little bit different from me... some excessively (probably obnoxiously) cute chibi-ponies. I doodled these for fun a week or two ago and decided to color them for sharing, in a completely different style than my usual MLP fare (just to mix things up a bit I suppose). Yes~


Well, that's all for now friends! With any luck I shall be back with more sometime within the next week or so, including another commissioned work that is currently in the planning and development stages, haha. Until then dears~!

Drawfriend Doodle-Roundup #2

I'm not really sure why I titled my original post on this blog as a 'Drawfriend Roundup'... I guess it's because all the art I posted I had previously submitted to EqD's Drawfriend (though only about half of them were actually featured). So even if it's not strictly true, for the sake of continuity I suppose I'll title this similarly.

Anyway though! Just a bunch of random pony doodles, most of which I sketched over the past couple days and colored last night. None of them are much artistically-speaking but then, I guess that's why I call them doodles.

PinkieDash shipping, you say? Well, maybe not necessarily, even though that pairing is rather cute when I think about it, I suppose. But in all honesty this idea just came to me, entirely devoid of context so I'll leave that up to each of you to interpret.

I suppose "meh" says it all, doesn't it? Just a quick Rarity doodle, looking bored (but still fabulous, of course).

...Yeah, I'm not really sure what I was thinking either. o_o It just came to me. To be honest I really don't love this picture, even for a doodle it irks me somehow but perhaps somepony else will enjoy it! Perhaps...

Okay I will not lie... I actually made this picture last week but didn't post it because I didn't like it! And I still don't, but again maybe somepony else will... hopefully anyway.

Haha... I really can't help myself. Give me any length of time and tell me to draw ponies and sooner or later (usually sooner) you shall get Applejack and Rarity. I really can't say for certain what's going on in this little scene for those who are curious... again, interpret it as you will. ;)



And that's all for now dearies! More to come soon enough though, including a special piece I've had in the works for someone. Until then~ ^_^

Drawfriend Roundup #1

Hello, any and all who might actually be inclined to check out my little fanworks blog. ^.^ I recently got the idea, after several inquiries on Equestria Daily, to find or create one single place to post up all my pony fanarts, seeing as how they have a tendency to go astray when I submit them to Equestria Daily for Drawfriend. Quite understandable considering how busy Seth and his team stay... anyway though. Hopefully this shall serve as a nice convenient place to get them all online, for any who might be interested in checking them out~

All my current doodles to date, compiled in one post!

*****

The very first piece I submitted for Drawfriend; don't judge me!

It had to be done.

This was actually one of my very first pony sketches, and it was the very first I slapped some color onto. I don't particularly care for it myself (I actually never even bothered submitting it), but that doesn't mean somepony else won't like it. Possibly.

This one actually did end up making an appearance on EqD, but not in Drawfriend (go figure). Yay random Rarity appearance~

One of the few that made it! And you'll have to excuse the less-then-stellar quality; my tablet's pressure sensitivity gave out halfway through but I finished with it anyway.

I actually drew and colored this at the same time as the previous three. Hence the shared questionable quality.

Evil, Discorded Fluttershy! I put a bit more time into this than most of the others, perhaps that shows.

I'm not sure what possessed me to make this, but I am glad something did. ^^

The most recent picture I finished. I think those creepy mugs would give me recurring nightmares, too.

That's all for now, hopefully more to come soon though!
