Penny's Obligatory Art Thread [Image Heavy]

[pennyroyal]

OH GOSH WHERE TO START. Uh, well, I'm Penny, I'm new here, I draw. Anything else? No?

I do draw things besides Ponies, but in the interest of staying on topic I'll just post my Pony stuff unless you guys and gals want to see the rest of it. I've been drawing since I was maybe 9, so I have a few years under my belt, and by a few I mean a lot. I didn't actually draw any Ponies until my boyfriend(of all people) introduced me to the series and I went "HEY THESE ARE EASY TO DRAW!".

I like to think I've improved a little bit since then. :) We shall see.

OH and a lot of these are works in progress...I like to start a ton of projects so I'll always have something else to do if I get bored of something. I'll try to keep things updated as I finish them, though. For the record, I use a TON of different stuff for my art, since experimenting is always good with this sort of thing. I draw with a Wacom art tablet that is almost as old as I am, and use MS Paint and The GIMP for most of my work.

First up some quick-and-dirty headshots of my 'ponysona' - only I don't think I'm actually purple.

Ponysona proper, in non-headshot form. :) Actually the first drawing of her I ever did - the headshots are a lot more recent.

Boyfriend pony detected! I don't think I have this picture anymore, since I disliked it to the point where I never finished it.

STORYTIME! My boyfriend calls himself a 'hardcore gamer' and I am pretty much anything but. I play games, but not really the same kind - or if I do play the sort of stuff he does, I'm inevitably not very good at it. But I did beat Pokemon Snap, and that's about the extent of my gaming prowess. Not even gonna start on the months it took me to beat Silent Hill.

I...uh...also play World of Warcraft. Not excessively anymore, but I still have a fondness for the war between the factions.

Another OC Pony of mine who might make it to the forums eventually, possibly. His name is Cygnet. This is also really old.

Another gift for the boyfriend, one of his OCs named Blaze. Probably the first 'real' art I've done all year.

I get crazy awesome requests from people all over the Internet because I like having stuff to do. This is one of them. :)

...and another!

...and another!!

Absolutely nothing strange going on here. Nope.

ANOTHER Pony OC - I swear I have like ten - who I decided not to use for RP here since I thought he was too fancy. He's a mail pony. 8)

More recent art of the BF and I. He has an actual cutie mark...I just didn't draw it. x_x

And some more recent stuff, that I scanned and started coloring todaaaay!

Same ponysona as the one up top, just has wings. I decided not to keep them, though. Coloring practice!

Last one for now. Drawing people drives me craaazy! It's very, very hard to find a balance between 'realistic' and 'cartoony' because humans are very aware of the tiny imperfections - sort of an Uncanny Valley effect. Any practice is good practice though. :)

Wow! Nice stuff you got there! I really love all your poses and stuff (especially upside-down Derpy, EE, SO CUTE)! And that is a pretty impressive human. I think it looks awesome. Surely you have a deviantart so somepony can stalk you? YES?
