Tony Fleecs Morning Art

Some brony friends of mine got TonyFleecs to draw a commission of me (we're on the back wall) at HarmonyCon. I was a bit shocked about it, and so I was determined to draw him in turn for Everfree Northwest.

“Dance With Me?“

Lemon Crumble curtsies to Water Spout for a dance. . If you have a problem with it, oh well, I'm not a vector artist and I was in a rush. Art by yours truly.

My vision of the Mane 6 as characters. It can be hard to distinguish the details in my character designs without having a bunch of them standing together, which I don't do very often. The characters I do aren't cookie-cutter shapes. One thing I do enjoy in art is giving attention to details for characters to stand out uniquely from each other. This includes their height and body shape, width of hooves, how frizzy their manes are, length and size of wings and horns, eyebrow shape, fluffiness, and shape of fluff. However, I do prefer thinner, shorter necks and thinner limbs with large hands/hooves. The downside to this is that characters aren't drawn very consistent, which means the sketch-build stage takes significantly longer and it's nearly impossible to animate together in motion.

Some people think I have a "Tim Burton" style, but there's loads of artist who also do this sort of deal, and far deeper than I. But while Tim Burton wants to make cute things be creepy, I just want to add creepy elements to something cute, while keeping something creepy if need be. . PINKIE PIE Size - Average Build - Average Fluff - Rounded frizz Eyes - Rounded, cute Mane - Very frizzed, looped, puffy I draw Pinkie Pie with a gold tooth. This is because I imagine her as needing one after discovering sweet treats and not caring for her teeth very well—on purpose—to get the gold tooth instead of a natural replacement. Most artists (and there's very few) who do draw ponies different sizes often make Pinkie Pie "thicc" or plump due to her diet on sweets. I would, except I think her hyperactivity burns so many calories that she's able to maintain an average weight and size. Her hair I imagine to be the likeness of frizzy cotton candy. . FLUTTERSHY Size - Taller, small wings Build - Thin and awkward Fluff - Short and sift Eyes - Oval tall, cute, pretty dark Mane - Silk smooth but frizzed Oh, poor, dear Fluttershy! I give her characteristic dark circles; doing this draws a lot of attention to the eyes and makes them ‘pop out’, giving a sense of PTSD and alertness, like something isn’t quite right. Yep! Fluttershy suffers from PTSD as she’s so easily startled. And Fluttershy’s general lack of sleep caring for animals all the time adds to the dark circles. She has smaller wings and she's fluffier do to being a bird-horse. I also put her on a tall body with flared hooves to make her appear awkward and clumsy. She thinks Rainbow Dash is taller than her, but as a gentle giant, she doesn’t know how tall she is! . TWILIGHT SPARKLE Size - Average, long horn / wings Build - Average Fluff - Average Eyes - Average, dark Mane - Straight but slightly frizzed Book horse I think is a mainstay (pun) source for all things average IMO, except her eyes and hair. Twilight's extremely busy lifestyle and constant stress I feel warrants her to have darkened eyes of insomnia. This is a pony who could sleep for 12 hours and still not wake up rested. I also don't think she'd spent a lot of time on her appearance, letting her mane and coat remain brushed at minimum. .

RAINBOW DASH Size - Short, long wings Build - Sma... "aerodynamic" Fluff - Sifted Pegasi-fluff Eyes - Average Mane - Slightly Frizzed Suffering from spunky case of "little mare syndrome", this is what we call "smol dash". She's spunky, larger, stronger wings help carry her through the air. She's missing a tooth because of her activities and her hooves aren't nearly as polished as the others. She doesn't brush her coat often unless to be presentable as a Wonderbolt. I also try to make sure Rainbow Dash is a bit more flat in the chest. . APPLEJACK Size - Very Tall Build - Large Fluff - Rough and unkempt Eyes - Wide Mane - Coarse and straw-like The apple-bucking farm pony. She's strong and well-built, with somewhat sharp angles I usually reserve for stallions. Very poorly-tended hair and coat. The ponytails of her hair are dense like a mace and weapons in their own right. Like Dash, I also give her stiffer eyelashes and 2 instead of 3 lower lashes. . RARITY Size - Tall, long, thin horn Build - Thin and trim Fluff - OCD Brushed Eyes - Oval Mane - OCD Brushed Rarity is perhaps the most opposite of the stylistic choices I make with most of the Mane 6 because she's so clean and well-groomed. I also slim down her appearance. Unlike some other artists, I draw her (and her sister) tall instead of short and petite; she just has that air about her. I also felt she needs elf ears.

I hadn't gotten the chance to watch The Walking Dead, but I recently became acquainted with this scene from it and I was really touched by it. The background for the scene was gut-wrenching, unwanted, creepy, and drenched in grimdark. It was a beautiful vision of the ugly side of the world.

So, I really wanted to try and get this in for the EQD Open Compilation for OCs, which is due today, but I didn't know about it until last Wednesday night. So I had like, 5-6 days to friggin' try this. Frame-by-frame gif art, no video editing programs were used.

Friendship is Power

Back of a t-shirt design I'm doing. Man I hate doing vector art. It's not perfect, but I'm not going to spent hours trying to make it beyond perfect. Still trying to figure out what to do with the front.
