More pics to show.

That's him done in a simpler style, and some facial expression experimentation.

[up][up]Slightly better? draw lightly, dark permanent lines make it harder to improve. First line aren't perfect, thus the process of sketching and erasing.

[up]Glad you like it, basically, make the wings wrap around the body with the hooks as a sort of cape hook at the neck.

@Applelight: Those designs are looking good.

@Perpetual: That would actually be a pretty awesome idea. If you don't think you have the time to do it yourself, you could make it a team effort and then when the artstyle changes you just say that a different CMC is drawing it. And the whole thing would obviously be Stylistic Suck incarnate.

Thank you JT.

He's starting to get a bit of a personality too now...a highly talented flier and combatant, who is stern, quiet and aloft in peace time, and a roaring large ham in battle, who frequently talks in similes...is a bit pompous...and who is actually surprisingly 'sissy' like...and a moma's boy.

I got the idea from the 'Preppy' clique in that game Bully: Canis Camin Edit...they are all decent fighters who specialize in boxing, with the 2 number two of the clique being one of the only kids in the game capable of standing up to the dreaded Russel for more than 3 seconds...yet they frequently go on about their 'Mummies and Daddies'...it's hilarious. [lol]

P.S: That pic of him smiling? How's the work on the mouth?

[up]I'd personally tone down the fangs a bit, but other than that it looks good.

@ Mousa

Bloody hell you're good...you make that look so easy! tongue

See, this is what happens when you never learn to properly draw figures, and neglect your skills for over 4 years. I've always said of myself...I have tons of drawing talent...but zero drawing skill. tongue

Thank you for the help mate. smile

If you do do the CMC comic thing, you should have a guest strip by Derpy and it turns out she's really a good artist due to her eyes.

@Applelight, Start with circles and lines, add details later, light lines, make sure the structure is perfect first before adding on stuff, etc, etc,

This would be so much easier if I was there with you, I mean I taught this kid how to get his anatomy to be this good. Admittedly it was a two year process but I can teach anyone to draw, and I will help you!

EDIT:

By the way, to help you out, this article could give you ideas for your new Dash and AJ. wink

Also, think you have enough to apply the humanizing magic to Batty? smile

Here's a quick demo of the pose you had going on there, Apple. Sorry it's a bit shoddy; my tablet skills are a tad on the rust side(still sans Scanner, alas), but it should have the BASIC idea of what you were looking for. I also included some bits about the wings. I'm working on a story related to the bat ponies at the moment and one of the major characters is a scientist, so I've been doing some research into bats(Their closest genetic relatives are believed to be hooved mammals, like hippoppotumi or Alpacas! Albeit in the same way I'm related to the king of norway). Not sure how much you're interested in keeping their wings accurate, but eh. It's always good to keep in mind that as far as arms and legs go, virtually all species have the exact same arrangement, just with different bone lengths, and give or take a few fingers.

if you're more interested in style, may I humbly suggest a Wing cape?

Anyway, I've contemplated learning to draw with just a mouse, but the inking alone is enough of a pain, and I vastly prefer regular sketching. Doesn't take nearly as long to get it to look the way I want it to as a whole.

It's not that bad in Photoshop since everything's done in paths, layers, and effect filters that you can just redo or adjust as needed instead of pixel-by-pixel screwery. That, and GIMP 2.8 finally put its layers into a sensible tree instead of the monolithic pile it used for way longer than sense dictated, so even the cheapskates can get by.

@ keg

That is all excellent. Thank you.

Seriously, thanks everyone! smile

EDIT: What's your fanon on bat ponies keg?

Mine is that they are the ponies who sided with Nightmare Moon...who used magic to change them into a form better suited for her Eternal Night...they are, in effect, magical mutants.

I see we're having a drawfriend ongoing.

Earlier I did a little more work on my pre-template proto plushie. Head's done, legs done, need to figure out how to get the eyes and cutie mark done at that tiny almost-brushable size, and need to finish the torso and put everything together, also mane. Also my stitched are hilariously uneven, but at least they get the job done [lol]

Luna can Triforce

Derpy how did you even get it on in that position

[up] I like to imagine it's a special temporary Good Mutation that Luna gifts upon pegasi in her Night Guard (only while in her service).

@Applelight and Condo, Thanks

And sure Applelight, just remind me what his role is on the ship and I can have something done for you no problem.
