Description My fifth post of the sketch-ref-things I'm doing for the MLP characters involved in my War-themed AU Requiem from my What If... project.

This one is of our favorite and fabulous fashionista, Rarity. 8D

Like Twi, I can see Rarity having a slightly longer than average horn and a point sharper than it should be, especially with her profession. o3o

She also has five headshots because... well... because she can, that's why. B| I just had to add Wet-maned Rarity in there, but I have an excuse! D: Y'see, this is how Rarity ended up looking when she disregards the storming rain in her sorrow. Her expression isn't overwhelmingly sad though, because one of the others is giving her words she really needs to hear. o3o That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it. B|

On that note, there's a reason why Rarity would turn out so sad. But I'll get to that later on.

Anyway, in this AU, idea is that our favorite white-coated unicorn is still the successful fashionista she is in the show, and she's doing relatively well for herself. Her biggest break came to be when she was commissioned by Luna herself to design the ceremonial uniforms high-ranking soldiers must wear on special occasions; it had to be fetching and eye-catching, but practical in case an emergency happened. (I'm considering the idea that she was the one to influence magic-influenced gear ) This is how she met Twilight Sparkle for the first time.

She hides a large scar beneath her long mane. How she got it is a different story for another time. o3o

Hmmm... On a somewhat different note, I've also been considering taking pony commissions of other folk's pony ocs in this sort of style; the sketch-reference thingy, I mean. o3o What do you guys think? They won't be anymore than maybe... mm... $8 a piece? But I was wondering whether or not you guys would be interested in something like that before I threw it out there. O:

Can we do an art trade?

If yes? Can you draw my three OCs comma , soft note, and Lilly flower?

If no can you PLEASE check out my art?

Because your awesome and I need advice.

EarthnAshes In reply to Galbrony3 [2013-11-11 22:12:24 +0000 UTC]

I'm afraid I don't do art trades. Just commissions.


As for advice, I'm not exactly sure what you're looking for in that. Advice in drawing in general? Advice in drawing ponies? Advice on something especially particular, like wings, hooves, faces? What advice are you trying to ask me for?

On ponys. Sorry. And faces. 

And how I can work on it.

EarthnAshes In reply to Galbrony3 [2013-11-11 22:50:54 +0000 UTC]

Well the first thing you'll have to do is decide the type of style you want to achieve. Don't think too much on it, just give yourself a very general idea on what you want; close the canon style, a mix between canon and realistic, or completely realistic. Then you begin to experiment. Just draw and try out different combinations and such. The only way to establish a style is to practice it; you can't learn it from tips or tutorials. If you need references, use them. There is no shame in referencing, but don't copy.


As for face, the main thing I worry about are the expressions and the differences between each character's features; don't be afraid to exaggerate facial features and structures in order to make each character unique. Just look up a few tutorials for facial expressions; it'll help in the long run.


And as for how to work on it, the only way for you to work on it is to practice. I draw on a daily bases, and where I spend 10 minutes or 6 hours drawing, it always happens daily. The only time I DON'T draw is when I hit an art block and I take a break from it. Point being, a cliche as it sounds, practice makes perfect. So practice.

The way you made her tail drag out behind her almost looks like a skirt of some sort.

EarthnAshes In reply to Thejboy88 [2013-01-20 22:26:17 +0000 UTC]

Lol, I suppose, huh? xD I made it shorter as time went on; I'm sure she has a long tail, but since she keeps it in curls it probably wouldn't touch the ground unless it gets wet.

I think your art is definitely worth paying for. And I like the anthro-Rarity art at top. And your expressions are amazing.

And the poor mare, she got scarred! It wouldn't bug somepony like AJ or Dashie or Twi, but I can see Rarity feeling that she's hideous on some level.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

EarthnAshes In reply to ardashir [2012-08-31 21:24:09 +0000 UTC]

Aww, thank you so much! ^.^

And yeah, you're definitely right about that; AJ and Dash would proably just shake it off. Twi in this AU would shake it off too, but I could see her dwelling on them before accepting she has the scar.

I, too, think Rarity will find her own scars hideous, especially with her's being as big as it is. It's why I have her hiding it beneath her mane; I wouldn't put it past her to do something like that. o3o

ardashir In reply to EarthnAshes [2012-09-01 00:34:10 +0000 UTC]

I could see her learning either illusions or even shapeshifting magic in the hopes that she'd be able to cover it up.

Hey, thanks! C: If I keep getting the thumbs-up from folks about taking these sorts of commission, I may go ahead and lower the price a bit more; something of an opening sale, if you will. xD

At any rate, you know where to find me if you ever grow interested. c:
