Description I decided to make another abstract picture, this time one with the Golden Oaks Library that was burnt down at the end of Season 4 of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
This time I used a screenshot for this and add my little spin on that image.

It was made with PaintToolSai and some color enhancements were done with Photoshop.
This picture took roughly a month to make with a lot of pauses between each painting session.

Echoing my thoughts from elsewhere: I like this a lot. It has a very Wassily Kandinsky/Franz Marc feel to it.

Thanks a lot.

Certainly it's more leaned towards to Franz Marc's style. It's the main inspiration for this style (and thinking about impossible paper foldings and cuts).

AenbrDraws In reply to Adiwan [2014-06-17 15:50:38 +0000 UTC]

The crisp edges of all the shapes appeared to be the kind you can only achieve through a vectoring program. I was surprised it was done on SAI.

Adiwan In reply to AenbrDraws [2014-06-17 15:57:34 +0000 UTC]

They look so crisp because the picture was originally painted in a much higher resolution and I resized it down.
It is a very simple trick.

This needs to be a print.  I would pay one money for this.

I don't know if I make it available as a print but I feel flattered.

Well, now that's an interesting concept. It's not a picture you see every day in this fandom.

Adiwan In reply to Pony-Berserker [2014-06-08 09:31:04 +0000 UTC]

Pictures you see every day are boring, am I right?

Pony-Berserker In reply to Adiwan [2014-06-08 09:41:27 +0000 UTC]

Eh, people just NEED TO misinterpret everything in the worst possible way, eh? Pictures I see every day are just not 'abstract'

I realized it is suppose to be a shot from outside. but somehow it looks like it's inside of the library.

Thanks.
These pictures take a lot of time and I have an ask blog running that needs my attention too (besides having a real life).
I'll make another one eventually.

I won't even ask the amount of layers you used in this one...

Adiwan In reply to Alumx [2014-06-08 09:30:27 +0000 UTC]

Mainly one layer. I added two more to adjust the colors and lightness at a few spots.

Alumx In reply to Adiwan [2014-06-08 09:56:28 +0000 UTC]

So all the light and shadow effects were drawn by hand?

Adiwan In reply to Alumx [2014-06-08 10:04:40 +0000 UTC]

Yes, except for a few spots for adjustment. I was too lazy at the end.
