Description Because sometimes you just have to feel the wind through your mane as you fall through the air...

A bit of a symbolic piece; I know my current "fame" brought on by "Wicked Nosedive" won't last, but I'm still gonna enjoy the ride as my popularity plummets. Will I spread my wings and fly or crash to the ground where I came from? Only the future knows.

Fgsfds, this one made it onto EQD too! I don't know what's up with you people, but I'm definitely not complaining! [link]

If you like this piece, go look at this one: [link] This guy had the idea four days before me and he's got talent coming out every orifice so go give him and his picture lots of love! >w<

Not a bad idea, although one does not exclude the other, the more you incorporate shading and whatnot into your random drawings, the more you'll naturally do them and get better at them >w<

Yep, though my way is just so I'll learn how to do it in real life, and/or just think up the lines of your desired piece.

Welcome to bronies, the people who recognize amazing work and give you major props for it and shower you with OUR LOVE.

And actually, I think Dorian'd be alright around bronies; he'd find them non-threatening though he'd run away instantly if they tried to hug him XD

Oh God, if he met Pinkie...

The chase-scene would be epic...

Try climbing something really tall while singing Pinkie's "Giggle at the Ghostly" in your head. It worked for me. Now I really can't wait for this weekend because I have the chance to climb a 180 foot communications tower.

I did have fun! But the owner of the land and tower didn't show up until we were almost leaving. Didn't get to climb it this time. Maybe I will get lucky next time!

Looks like I got some catching up to do then I had a look at your video - thanks for going to the effort of putting it where Australians can see it by the way. It was fun watching the shading - I can only guess that being able to do that off the top of your head comes with time. One minute you were randomly smearing grey over fluttershy, the next minute, pow! Shadows and shading! I don't see how its physically possible to do that without creating a 3d model, shining a desklamp on it and staring at how the light falls for hours on end but hey! Magic *snort snort*

Thanks for taking the time to peek at what I've created! I'm in it for the fun right now, (also a pencil sketch can be completed in the meagre span of my attention,) but if I stop procrastinating long enough I'll fire up GIMP this weekend and see if you can't teach an old dawg new tricks.

Heh, don't mention it, mate, I'm an avid hater of those youtube restrictions so I'll do anything to work against them XD And that IS actually one way to do it, after all, you just have to learn it in whichever way suits you the best >w< And yeah, after that all it takes is time and practice. Being able to visualize the finished product somewhat also helps a lot >w< That's where my semi-photographic memory comes in handy XD

And you're very welcome, I always enjoy watching the art of other people! >w< Ohh, and if you do that, I'll be happy to give you some pointers on digital painting if you'd like! Although I work in photoshop and not GIMP so it might be problematic... XD;;

What are the odds that the pictures would be so similar really? Though with both being speedpaints, probably a good idea to at least contact him. If anything you could say great minds think alike.

Yeah, I've already commented and noted him about the issue and I'm hoping for a reply >w<
Though if the similarities turn out too uncanny I'm likely to change my picture slightly... Just make it daytime instead of night.

Aw, thank you for the offer! If I could change the opening scene to nighttime as in the picture, I would LOVE to use it as a chapter picture. Unfortunately, that would upset the rest of the story a bit too much. I'll think about it though!

But that story isn't very good. I'm not even convinced I should continue writing it. My second story is much, much better in my opinion. And it has the advantage of being complete. [link]

Oh! A Denmark brony! Last time I was in Copenhagen for work, I was trying to get a local friend interested in the show. She's so much like Pinkie Pie she just has to watch it. Good to know there are other fans in Denmark. *waves from Anthrocon*

I might give it a look later... Oh, and I'm also considering changing this picture to daytime instead of night to avoid too many similarities with another piece by a much better brony artist, although night has always been my favourite time, so not sure if want...

Oh my sweet Celestia, you actually know what Denmark is! : D Colour me impressed, mate >w< And yeah, there are more of us here than you think, as I myself learned upon meeting other bronies XD Sadly there aren't a lot of events and the like to go to... *le sigh* *waves back sadly from lil' old Odense*

I've really only spent time in Copenhagen (a 5-6 weeks in three trips so far) but its a wonderful country.

If you do make a day version, and still approve of the idea, I really would like to add it to the chapter as embedded art. That would be wonderful.

Tak.
