Finally I get to post this! A little late to the boat but...
What originally started as a simple sketch of passion turned into probably one of my most detailed pieces yet, at least in terms of background.
After I saw Wonder Woman (the day it came out) I was awestruck by it all, and immediately wanted to sketch this epic scene from the film in a pegasus crossover.  However, no one told me "sketching a background and color/shading it are two entirely different tasks that are not equivelant in effort"....
 

About a 20 hour difference to be more specific.  But I was able to use this piece to try out some new things, which was both frustrating (ask ) but also very rewarding. 

I never inteded for this to take 3 weeks however, as I wanted to bang this out and get right back into WoF. But as I mentioned earlier, the startup company I'm with bled a lot of my time during the past 3 weeks.  Things are starting to plateau again there, so it should go back to normal hopefully. 

Random Artist notes:
-    I believe Diana would be a pegasus due to mainly her fight style: She's able to fly across the battlefield at tremendous speed, allowing her to close the distance of her opponent with immense grace and devestation. If there's anything DC Films have done well so far, it has been how they nailed Diana's fight style. She's all about disarming her opponent as soon as possible, breaking their balance, and throwing them to the ground using every tool she has, including the environment. 

Also Diana's origins are very Greek inspired, so a pegasus seemed natural
 

-    I intentionally kept Diana's colors saturated compared to the muted background of the war around her.  I felt that it helped her pop out more, accentuating her goddess role on the battlefield. I actually toyed around with her coat being blue at first, but I felt the yellow went better with her costume. 
-    I used a handful of Battlefield 1 references for color pallets >_>
-    Lol yes she's staring directly into the back of a shield, which sounds dumb when you think too much about it, which I'm doing right now. I realized it far too late in the process to change her pose. Shhhhhhhh.
-    I really like pony crossovers, guys >_> 

I'm out in Dallas for the next week visiting a cousin for his wedding. Once I'm back after July 4th, then I'll be able to get back to WoF.
Finally haha
 

GO SEE THIS MOVIE BTW! Is rly gud.

I've never been a fan of Wonder Woman but I did not like Vision until I saw Avengers 2 so the same thing can be happen with this movie.

Funny enough, I felt the same way about Vision too! Not until I saw his relationship with Scarlet, and how she's a direct counter to him haha.

I have yet to see this film.
Tell me, does it have a completely unbiased look at the First Would War?
-Or does it, as I fear, sink into the same 'the Germans were evil' trap most American films do?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

DangerCloseArt In reply to cowboyjt [2017-07-01 01:48:37 +0000 UTC]

It's a fictional look at the war as one might expect in a universe that involves Wonder Woman. However, without spoiling anything, there are clearly "evil" characters on both sides of the conflict, independent of the flags they fight for.

cowboyjt In reply to DangerCloseArt [2017-07-01 02:01:41 +0000 UTC]

Alright. Thank you.
I've always found it odd that American can never get the First World War right.
War Horse came the closest.

Say, have you ever heard of "Verdun, Visions D'histoire"?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

DangerCloseArt In reply to cowboyjt [2017-07-01 19:04:55 +0000 UTC]

I haven't seen many contemporary American films on The Great War. I did see War Horse to which I enjoyed at least for the it's portrayal of the relationship of the boy and his horse. I was a big fan of All Quiet on the Western Front, both the book and the two films that were eventually made on it.  

Can't say I've heard of "Verdun", though. 

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

cowboyjt In reply to DangerCloseArt [2017-07-01 19:47:20 +0000 UTC]

I don't consider All Quiet on the Western Front (1930/1979) an American film, as it was braced on a German book.

The Battle of Verdun was the longest battle in human history, lasting 302 Days.
Between the 21st of February, 1916, and the 19th of December, 1916: 306,000 men were killed and another 412,000 wounded.

"Verdun, Visions D'histoire" is a French documentary drama released for the 10th anniversary of the war's end (1928).
It was filmed at Verdun itself, using actual French and German veterans, including Marshal Philippe Pétain who portrayed himself.

It is a beautiful film, with many breathtaking scenes. No other film I have seen portraying the First World Was has ever come close to it.
That is why most American films puzzle me; The war did not affect them as much as it affected the French, but they still show Germans as devils.
Yet, the French made a film so soon after the war, while the battlefields were still bear and pain still fresh, that does not show the Germans as villains.
In fact, there are no villains, save one: The war itself. The intro alone delivers that message quite well.

DangerCloseArt In reply to cowboyjt [2017-07-02 02:58:35 +0000 UTC]

Oh yes, I knew AQWF was written by a German (I did a hefty paper on it when I was a student).  It was just one of my most favorite films set in the Great War, American made or otherwise. 

That sounds amazing though. I would have never expected such an endeavor would have been created in such recent memory of the conflict. I'll have to add it to my film list! Thanks for sharing that!

If Wonder Woman's a Pegasus (I was going to say she'd be an Alicorn, for you know, being a magical princess of sorts, but your reasoning for why a Pegasus makes more sense), so that would make Superman an Alicorn and Batman an Earth pony.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

DangerCloseArt In reply to timfortune9 [2017-06-30 03:56:11 +0000 UTC]

I agree! Batman has no "powers" other than being incredibly smart, resilient and resourceful (while having a lot of resources at his disposal haha) so definitely an Earth Pony. 

Superman by nature is many things, so an Alicorn would make sense.

Someone like Green Lantern I bet would be Unicorn.
