It's the sound of ... Here, have some fitting background music: [link] Yes, I do watch this show. It's a Faust cartoon.No, I'm not the "OMG PONNIIIIIIEEEEEZ" type.Yes, I have had the need the scratch this artistic itch for the better part of a month now.Though, to be honest, bronies are pretty creepy IRL.This piece presented numerous opportunities to experiment, now that I've gone back to using my t/rusty old HP Officejet. I had done glow effects with dodge and burn, but this is the first time I've gone without the assistance of Photoshop's blending options.In an attempt to remain faithful to the show's art style, I've followed a step out of 's tutorial that I had skipped previously, namely recoloring the linework. The results are...mixed.The anatomy is partly based on Big Macintosh, but I have stretched his neck out a little and changed his eyes to not look quite so...laid back. Also, because of the armor, his torso changed quite a bit.The armor is based off of Royal Guard armor from the show and medieval horse armor beaten into shape to fit a body for which it was most definitely not designed for. The helmet is based off of the midde-Roman galea (the Centurion model, not the footsoldier's).Different views of the same character has always been an impasse for me, since I suck at replicating things in pencil, MLP:FiM's simple character construction gives me more or less a slim chance of pulling this off. I'd say it turned out alright.This is also my first time working with this sort of text placement. A lot of clutter, not a lot of room to put it.My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic belongs and Hasbro.Philomena vector done by , modified by me.Pixel ID template from but I don't think I followed the instructions very well...Linework done in 0.7 and 0.5 mm mechanical pencil. Colored in Adobe Photoshop CS3. Total time spent: 5 hours.(c)2011 LoneSentry
