“Something with Applejack” for shykana!

I’m sorry for this, but I didn’t have any better ideas xD

Oh well, it was fun to make nonetheless!

So, I finally managed to finish this request for KairaAethericBeast. I hope you like it! :)

I’ve been slacking a little more than usual due to all the holiday stuff but I just wanted to get it done before new year’s eve.

What you see here is Nyx from the popular MLP FiM fanfic, and Twilight Sparkle showing her the underwater world of Equestria for the first time. I haven’t actually read the fic yet, but I’m planning to. So I just improvised on stuff like the breathing bubbles conjured up by Twilight using her magic. Perhaps the bottom is a little empty, but I couldn’t think of a lot of things to draw, so… yeah.

It took a while before I could think of how to draw the scenery, cause this is the first time drawing something underwater-y. As you can see I’ve tried some new technics like the watercolouring in the back, the blue filter, and the weird flowy things.

Overall I like how it turned out!

I remade this (in)famous drawing because the original resolution was far too low.

Credits to whoever created the original!

So, here it is! ZoeBot.

As you can see, I’m still struggling with the “bot” features, but I guess it’s okay for now. I might still edit some things in the future once I know what to do.

ZoeBot is a bot inspired by the character Zoe Trent from Littlest Pet Shop. It all started when our Dutch “Peties” channel was newly founded and was desperately in need of a proper regex bot.

Lite-Sparkle requested me to come up with a drawing of ZoeBot, so I told him I’d do my best. I hope you’re happy now!

Originally this was a parody of PinkieBot (made by WaveHack) Also the drawing was mildly inspired by Secret-Pony’s drawing of PinkieBot.

Hey friends,

My name is Pinkie, and I love every single one of you. All of you are well-curved, smart, fun ponies who spend every second of their life eating cupcakes. You are everything good in the world. Have any of you ever heard of chimicherrychanga? I mean, I guess it’s fun making your friends laugh because of your sense of humor, but you all take it to very the top! This is even better than partying with everypony in the neighborhood!

Don’t mind the presents. Just remember to attend my parties. They are pretty much perfect! I once organized a flash mob, and made everypony feel better by making them smile! What are your special talents, other than socializing with Equestrian ponies? I also make friends easily, and have a super fun toothless alligator! (We just played ball; he is SO cute!) You are all lovely ponies who should just keep on enjoying life. Thanks for listening!

I just had to draw something for “Talk Like a Pirate” day, so here it is! Something made up on the spot!

Today is the day PJ turned 20, happy birthday dude!

I saw everyone submitting pictures for his birthday, so I thought “why not!”

Here I attempted to draw Laserpon3 giving a laser show, the picture ended up getting a bit too full, also I wasn’t sure what to do with the spotlight, if I filled it op with yellow colours it would outshadow most of the background including the laser source.

Now I have no idea where the lasers are actually coming from, is it the wall behind the curtains, or is it some laser projector standing behind him? I have no idea!

Anyway, this was a great practice for me!

I started out with this [link] , after finishing it I figured it was way too small, it lacked quality, plus I wanted something more… “original!”

I got to work on a new pose, it took me like an hour to get that hind leg pose right, and it still looks kind of awkward.

I liked experimenting with the curtain shadows, seen I almost never work on shadowing in my drawings, but I guess I should!

Then there’s the hair… as you may have noticed I have a really hard time to make the hair look natural.

The mane still looks kind of choppy, but I liked how the tail turned out, even if it’s mostly hidden.

I also figured it would be nice to include his cutie mark in some way, not on the flanks because they would be hidden for the greatest part, so I decided to stick it in the background. I vectored the cutie mark using this picture as a reference: [link] (thanks Mixalanapony!)

The annoying part is, my Pain Tool Sai doesn’t support transparency and I don’t got any programs like Photoshop on my computer, so it’s basically still a normal picture with a white background.

Last thing: as you may have noticed this picture is heavily inspired by Rarity’s illusion magic scene in S1E14. While re-watching that episode I was really thinking of Laserpon3. So I thought: hey! Why not make a picture of it? xD

That was my summary!

Here’s the pony and the cutie mark in separate “scraps” submissions, available for re-use.

Something quick I did for the Dutch brony yearbook, a drawing of Pinkie based on a vector of Rainbow Dash!

This time I used Gimp instead of SAI because my trial time was over :<

And here’s my latest and in my opinion best piece, “Dr. Whooves and Derpy bidding each other farewell”. Someone got it featured on Reddit and that earned me quite a lot of views.

Because MLP FiM and Doctor Who are awesome! Made it as a fan-art for PierceSmolder & KeikoandGilly’s audio series.

Go check out their latest work here.

Here’s Fluttershy, based on the scene where Twilight regains her self-confidence in S2E2.

As you can see I’ve been lazy with the layer overlapping at some parts.

It’s my first time using SAI Paint Tool though.

Here’s a drawing of Pinkie & Luna, based on the scene from S2E4. It’s the last thing I’ve ever made in MS Paint :P

“I finally managed to finish this piece of “art”, I’m not quite happy with the detail on the grass, and some things do look kinda rushed cause I just couldn’t get myself to improve it, cause I’m lazy.

And in case you’re wondering “why the hell didn’t you use any layers?”

Well, I made the base of the whole thing in MS Paint which was a bad idea after all because it reduced lots of the quality and transparency, but it was the only thing that ran smoothly on my pc back then. Right now I’m using SAI Paint Tool which appears to run even better than Paint and drastically increases the quality of just about anything!”

I guess I’ll be posting some of my latest works, straight from my DeviantArt page.

This here is Gilda from MLP FiM, it’s the first transparent picture I’ve ever made, almost like a vector!

Introduction

Wed, 21 Mar 2012 21:26:56 -0400

Why hello there!
Let me start off with a quick introduction :)
My name’s Marco Waning and I’m currently 19 years old, living in the Netherlands.
I like to work with computers and I might follow an ICT course some day. I also sometimes do webdesign and am kind of learning C++ at the moment.
I also like to draw, ponies more specifically! And I think that’s what this Tumblr is going to be about.
That’s all for now.
