[SFW] Artist's Group Chat

Well I had this in mind for Shamrock day but work kept me from hitting the dead line.

Well if you guys don’t mind me getting a little meta, I made a tutorial on how to combine animated and non-animated comic panels into one post. Any Tumblr users here might find this handy for bringing their comics to this site.
 
Images to combine:  
 

 
How to:  

 
The result:  

 
How much the image quality suffers depends on how many colors are in the image. Stuff like vectors (unless they have gradient effects) and monochrome comics like tjpones comics will have little to no noticable reduction in quality. Saving something like this as a gif will make it look like garbage even if you use dithering (and dithering spikes the file size as well).

Finally got round to doing the Adagio triplicate pic to finish that set off.
 

 
Now all we need is someone that has the necessary programs and the patience to stitch all 3 together in to one image. (I lack both).  
For me to do that, I’d have to completely redraw all 3 (or 9) characters on the same sheet from scratch.

Another artist I have spoken with here in the past, Scribblepwn3.  
Here’s his latest one, although he has done a couple of slightly creepy ones just recently.
 

@Badumsquish  
Whilst that’s not something I’d be using myself, it did remind me of a brief tutorial thing on drawing wings I found ages ago. This is a very informative guide here, and worth a look.
 

@40kponyguy  
I can do that for you!  
Edit:  
All done :)

@BlazingDazzlingDusk  
And thankyou very much.
 
Don’t know whether to crash off one of my simple pics I have on my to-do list, or make a start on a comic page next.  
I’ll let you lot know when I start. If it’s something simple I may have another upload tonight or tomorrow.

@40kponyguy  
You’re very welcome! :)
 
Best of luck and can’t wait to see more from you!

Started the next page of my 40k crossover comic. Might be able to avoid the grimdark tag on this page, although it’ll be pretty obvious why the next page (or two) will warrant that tag.

SHE’S CRAZIER! SHE’S BADDER! SHE WANTS YOUR FRIENDSHIP! SHE’S WINGLESS BECAUSE SOME TALENTLESS HACK FORGOT HER WINGS! SHEEEEEEE’S… TWIIIIILIIIIIIIIIGHT SKETCHLE!!!
 
 
This is what happens when I draw Twilight, forget her wings, draw wings on graph paper and overlay them into the pic for vectoring, and then like the contrast of paper to vector. I make a new OC. She would look identical to Twi (minus the wings), but she’s been battle damaged by the real Twi. She’s also (slightly) more batshit insane than the real Twilight Sparkle, as she’s aware she’s just a sketch.
 
First sighting  
How to

@40kponyguy  
Speaking of tutorials, there is a GREAT online tutorial for drawing hands called Posemaniacs. It contains a bunch of 3D modelled hands which can be freely rotated to study.
 
It defaults to an artistic nude of a male torso, though, so I posted the link in the NSFW Forum
 
Also mentioned it here because, if you can handle that one eyeful of privates, it is an INVALUABLE tool.

I’m filled with great shame about this, but not enough that I won’t post it here.  
 
My excuse:  
 
(Buddy was fresh out of the hospital and I made the mistake of saying I’d draw anything to cheer him up).

Why is the art critique thread abandoned?

@Badumsquish  
Considering the insanity I’ve witnessed since this fandom (and more notably this website) became established, a pony toilet like that is relatively tame.  
(And not the first one I’ve seen either).
 
Not to say it’s the sort of thing I’d consider completely sane, but if we weren’t all slightly nuts the fandom’s artwork would be a lot less interesting.
 
Let’s face it, I managed to blend Spaceballs, Warhammer 40k and MLP in to a single scene in that crossover story I’m doing. (The one I’m doing a comic strip of).  
That’s not the sort of thing any normal person would think of doing.

@Kirb  
I suspect users are really slow to reply, some don’t feel their critique would be very helpful, or maybe they’re not interested in giving critical analysis.

@Kirb
 
Because I don’t think I could give anyone a useful critique, and I’m not interested in getting my own art critiqued. At least, that’s my reason, I’m not sure about anyone else.

@BlazingDazzlingDusk  

 
Just wanted to make sure you didn’t miss this one.  
A bit out-of-character, but cute enough for that to be overlooked.

@40kponyguy  
I love it! :D Especially the expressions! Thank you so much!

@BlazingDazzlingDusk  
Didn’t think you’d have been online at this hour. (1:30am here in the UK).  
I’ll be hitting the sack myself very shortly.
 
And you’re welcome.

@40kponyguy  
What can I say?  
I work in mysterious ways.
 
It’s awesome!

@BlazingDazzlingDusk  

 
Thought I’d see your name in the faves list on this one too.  
Missed it?

@40kponyguy  
That’s cute too! :) I really like her dress! Many thanks for linking those, they’re both awesome pictures.

@BlazingDazzlingDusk  
I usually look for the usual group’s names in the faves lists, and yours is a name I expected to see on any above average pics featuring the Dazzlings, as long as they’re not too suggestive. (The Sonata in a bikini one that I linked a bit back in this thread is probably your limit).
 
just so you can find it easily.

I’d love to see a pic of the Dazzlings visiting their father, who turns out to be Jareth the goblin king.

@Kirb  
I don’t know about shipping the Dazzlings as related there, but drawing the three of them with that individual…
 
I think that may be within my drawing ability.
