Description It's finally 1 year after I first uploaded my third ever pony picture on here. So to sort of celebrate, I've been re-making or re-mastering the first 4 pictures I uploaded on here excluding the Derpy filly pic.


Third, here's Twilight Sparkle.

More to come when the date arises

For a comparison between the new and old one, here's a picture I added to my scrapbook with the 2 next to each other:

Overall

Vision

Originality

Technique

Impact


Looking at the two, I can see how much your technique has changed. First off, your lines are a lot more concise and flowing - it's a minimalist technique that is actually necessary for animations such as this show and I think you've puled it off quite well. Secondly, your shading is actually two toned, but still soft enough to barely be visible from afar. The lighter tones only stand out if you know where to look and the darker tones fill in all the right places - notably NOT the hair which isn't a solid thing and doesn't follow all the same rules. Finally, the little sparkles all over seem more transparent the closer to the edge they are, which aids in focusing your attention subconsciously towards the center of the image. I'm not sure if that was intentional, but hey it's there and it's brilliant.

And I had to take points off for vision and originality, since this is an image from a tv show and a remake of an earlier work.

If I ever get back into making pictures like this again, I'll be sure to start making them 1920x1080. I just need photoshop on my new laptop.

Wow, just photoshop? I know it's a good program but I never worked with it long enough to throw together something like these

Some of the pictures I've seen people make in photoshop are amazing. They make this look really amateurish.

Wow. I`ve only used it in school and don`t really have much more use for it than so. But if this is amateurish, I can only imagine how awesome some would be

Thanks for the critique I need to learn how to shade hair. I feel it's one of the things that greatly let down my work.

It's better without it, in my opinion at least.

Oh. So It'd be better if I continued to shade the hair as a solid?

So far as I am concerned? Yes.
