Post artwork here

This is just a general Artwork posting gallery. If you've created a few sketches, feel free to post them, but don't post your gallery's worth here. Create your own topic for that.

:3 Can I just make a thread that I can regularly post in?

Yes. I mentioned it in my post "Don't post your gallery's worth. Create your own topic for that"

Just so everyone knows, refrigerators have become a bit of a running gag for me. Really it's less refrigerators, more the word refrigerator.

I'm not much of an artist... but I do have one picture I drew the night I discovered ponies.
Problem here is it's on lined paper, everyone cool with that?

lined paper is kool!

Well If lined paper is cool, is a half asleep, crappy as they come, sketch of Twilight Sparkle in an overcomplicated, non-pony-compatible dress 'kool'?



I had but 1 dull pencil, and a lava lamp to draw this by, (no reference to this ) so shading was a no-go and it became, more lines=darker.

(If you look closely, you can see a crudely drawn family tree on the next page, gotta love those sharpies!)

nice drawing!

Why thank you good sir!

I like it. That's a lot better than I could make. Hooves make things difficult, but you learn to use your mouth, and it becomes almost as effective.

Does anyone know how to flip an image horizontally on a mac?

Rarity wallpaper I made. It is to be the first in a series of minimal/clean wallpapers.

Oh my! I didn't realise you were such the artist! I will start using this for my desktop background until a better one shows up.

Thank you! I greatly enjoy design work, I just don't like feel investing the time in doing a whole forum. My specialty is this sort of crisp/elegant style.

Rainbow Dash, just finished:

...I just got myself a new wallpaper. Plus you are amazing. I mainly do sketchy styles. I don't like doing much colour and I prefer to not do a lot of shading.

Wow, well thank you.

Fluttershy. I'm powering through these:

Same here as with Fluttershy, I mostly sketch stuff out

UPDATE: It just occurred to me that this pictures were 1920 x 1280 rather than 1920 x 1200, as they should be. I have corrected this, and also made them PNGs this time. New download links below:

Thank you for the new downloads and I am using Fluttershy's one at the moment! You're just too good!

I plan to send these to EqD once I finish the whole series.

Is very tempted to add all of those to his slideshow of wallpapers...

NOTE: These are cut off a bit on the right side on the forum sometimes. Rest assured that the download version is not cut.

Gah! They're all amazing! I can't decide on any of them now! You're too good! Plus are you sure you drew them yourself? They look so much like the original design for the show!

Yup, AJ one decided it, all of those are being added to my desktop, as long as you're okay with that Twilight?

No, I never claimed to have drawn the characters or cutie marks myself. The vector artists who did them are explicitly credited on my DeviantArt page for each work, e.g. here. My role is:

-Choosing what vectors to use
-Composition (this is the hard part - figuring out what to include, what not to include, arranging things, choosing spacing, sizes, etc.)
-Text

I'm proud of my ability to create striking graphic designs, but I do not draw the ponies from scratch. These are creative commons vectors, as are the resulting wallpapers.

Why would I mind? That's what they're for, go for it!

You certainly do a marvellous job of it! I wish I had a talent like that, but I seem to suck at ICT. Perhaps it's because I'm mainly learning how to use a spreadsheet.

Thank you again. I'll be posting the Twilight one soon, then I'm going to decide what to do next. I'm definitely going to do wallpapers for non-mane six characters, but I may make some other sorts of wallpapers, maybe avatars that are more involved than the one I'm using right now (just a vector with a screenshot from a LaTeX paper of mine).
