2018 Derpibooru Community Collab

@Mike
I remember last year someone suggest just to post as a BP and see what would come up. But in all seriousness, it depends on what you're looking for in the design. When I started out,I took some inspiration from Canon designs an made them unique.

@Binkyt11
I can't draw so that's not an option.

@Mike
Hmm, maybe after I'm done with the sketch for mine, I can jot something down for you on paper. And if you know anyone who can color it digitally, that's fine by me.

@Binkyt11
Hmm, try sketching out your cutie mark or if you already have it done, re-trace it using Inkscape. after you've done that, select the CM press Ctrl+K, then Shift+Ctrl+7 and add path effect > Envelope Deformation and bend the side path of both side to match your body curvature.


@Mike
Hmm, not sure, i don't think the pose will be a problem because it's either standing or sitting mostly for this collab, try focusing on creating a rough design sketch (doesn't have to be a perfect sketch) of your oc mane & tail first :D

@Arifproject
I'll do something and then PM you.

if any of y'all are interested in coming up with a design for an oc but don't have the means/ability to draw one, i would absolutely recommend idrawyourmlpoc.tumblr.com. it's 100% free and it helped me create a reference for my own oc, so if you want to see your vision realized this is a great place to do it. i don't think the artists there do show-style vectors, but what you do get is a handy visual reference for any of the artists here to use for this project. basically you just submit an idea (having a visual reference handy really helps) and wait a few days (i think i waited about 5 or 6 days) for one of their artists to create something. check it out!

@Arifproject
Would you be willing to help my OC appear in this picture? I have pictures of her, but none that meet filetype and clear background requirements.

I'm in as an artist, I'd love to help people out (but in December, because I have exams for the next two weeks). Wiii

@Rinikka
Awesome! Just lemme know if/when you wanna be added to the first post

@rainbowleader
Sure mate, just personal message me here, not my DA 👍

Yeah boi, this is my first time in here

So dracony are fine?

@Jinx
I did dracony last year, so I'm sure it's fine.

@Jinx
Got an example? I'm not entirely familiar with that term.

@JoeyH3
Dracony are a pony dragon mix. Use the search for the site, tons of them. They vary in size.

@Jinx
There's some pretty varied styles, but I think overall they should be fine

@JoeyH3
More along the lines of scaly and dragon like. Example

@Jinx
Yeah, that's completely fine

Question I'm not sure that hasn't been addressed, if we were in it last year, but the art of our OC was made by someone else, that will require us to get a new piece, correct? Just asking before I start shooting in the dark suddenly. I'm so glad I had common sense at 1:30 AM in the morning for once to ask a question before posting.

@KarinaPopcorn
You wouldn't be able to use the same drawing from the 2016 collab, so something different or newer would be more preferred.

I guess I could draw other people's OC's as long as I'm not being spammed with requests. I have a spare hour or two each day where I don't really have to do anything, so might as well draw some OC's for practice.
So yeah, count me in, I'd like to help.

So, if I primarily do 3d art, is there a way for me to submit something acceptable? See my artist tag for examples. I do use some publicly available meshes as bases for parts of my models, but I am not just throwing a downloaded model into SFM or anything.

Obviously I'd need to do full pony not anthro, but I happen to be working on an original pony body model that is almost ready.

If 3d art would break the stylistic coherence, I could experiment with cell-shading or other "toon shading" styles.

If allowing 3d art is a can of worms you don't want to open, that is also okay and understandable. :)

No EqG's, huh? Ah well.

I will like my name added to the list!
I will draw your oc for you!

This is my oc hitching a ride on Luna, just for you all to have an idea of how I draw for those that do not know.

Pm me and you will have an oc too for FREE! No one should feel left behind!

You should add me to the artist help list thingy~
