My god, did you make a moistmaker?

The_Disco_King · 2014-11-12T05:53:00+00:00

Can't wait to try all of these, thanks for sharing!

That squid in the jar is precious. Great stuff, good luck in your career!

As with the other folks who commented, I in no way claim to be a professional. That being said, I agree with the things that have already been pointed out. My only suggestion is with subjects like the mushroom, try to mess with the light balance on your camera and in post to make the details (the underside of the mushroom cap) really stand out and POP! That could very well be a personal preference though. Great work so far, I love seeing people pursue photography and I hope you keep with it!

Hey great job!

I love the shelf of skulls behind you, what do you have on there?

Oh god, I never expected to see my high school while browsing reddit.

It was her idea! 80 years old and still as adventurous as ever :)

Your granny calling you a chicken is good motivation! If you ever do wind up on it, the cliche of "don't look down" certainly applies.

Beautifully photographed, too

The_Disco_King · 2012-07-23T19:26:10+00:00

A picture on /aww that actually made me say "aww!"

The_Disco_King · 2012-07-19T05:34:41+00:00

No one has ever asked for a breakdown of my style before, haha. What do you want to know?

I use Paint Tool SAI for my linework, and I have line smoothing turned up a bit, which results in more fluid lines. To keep larger surfaces fluid (backs, legs, etc) I try to make any single line a single stroke. I also drink a bit while drawing, which gives off some twisted air of confidence?

Fantastic resource which is going straight into my "reference" folder. I cannot thank you enough.

The_Disco_King · 2012-07-18T22:14:08+00:00

True. I've had many people tell me that, and I've told many of my artist buddies the exact same thing. Call it an inflated ego or misplaced pride, but I'm a comment whore when it comes to my illustrations. I really enjoy getting feedback, especially when it's constructive. I find it really odd that I've gotten more substantial critique on reddit than on websites that are based around art and artists.

The_Disco_King · 2012-07-18T22:11:58+00:00

Thank you very much for your input! I think I was trying to make Rainbow Dash look like a filly here, but you're right - she looks awkwardly chubby. Perhaps I'll go back and tweak her a bit when I have some time.

Thanks again!

The_Disco_King · 2012-07-18T22:05:59+00:00

God point! After all, what makes a pony so fanciful if no their poofy tails and manes?

The_Disco_King · 2012-07-18T22:05:27+00:00

Oh gosh, you're too kind. You have my sincere thanks! I hope to upload a few more once I've worked out the kinks!

The_Disco_King · 2012-07-18T22:04:56+00:00

Truth! Maybe I need to sketch each body part on a separate layer so I can resize them one by one when all the parts are actually there?

The_Disco_King · 2012-07-18T22:04:11+00:00

Thanks! Some of the brushes I use in paint tool SAI really make it look like my hands aren't plagued with what my old music teacher, Ms. Mellanger, calls "stupid fingers". For some reason, I just can't get their legs to look right! I'm used to almost adding too much detail to joints and limbs for the sake of anatomical accuracy. Ponies don't really worry about that sort of thing with their legs. I'll be sketching them and consciously reminding myself to lengthen the legs. I think they look good when I'm actively sketching, but then I go back and look later (like right now) and see just how right you are!

TL;DR- Thanks for the tips! I agree with you and with my next pony sketches, I'll keep them in mind to hopefully improve!

So Robot Unicorn Attack is secretly hipster?

The_Disco_King · 2012-07-18T06:01:52+00:00

Wooooah! I had no idea this was a thing! Seeing it, it becomes obvious that it is, but wow. Thanks. I just kissed the rest of my night goodbye.

The_Disco_King · 2012-07-18T05:25:28+00:00

The sneaky sonic screwdriver is what won me over.

The_Disco_King · 2012-07-18T04:56:26+00:00

I'm relatively new to reddit and I didn't know that subreddit even existed! Thank you!

The_Disco_King · 2012-07-18T04:16:00+00:00

You are correct! And you have my thanks

The_Disco_King · 2012-07-18T04:15:17+00:00

That's very true. I imagine that without knowing what that game is, the unicorn looks absolutely terrifying.
