Description Here is my entry for the 2nd Knights of Harmony Contest. which involves drawing 's OC; Loyal Wing. Hosted by

Now I know in the last contest I drew 's OC; Corporal Xalcer, humanized and ended up winning that one (which you can see here
Corporal Xalcer *(Contest)*

To be honest I'm not expecting to win this time around because I admit that because of the last one it's a tad more unoriginal and less creative to do the same thing again, however nothing else felt right. I could not draw him fighting without scraping it because it looked like garbage and simply doing a profile sort of thing felt boring and I figured that doing a shipping image with him and a canon character wouldn't be appropriate (by the subject matter itself and because it doesn't exactly meet the challenge). In the end I decided to try taking a stab at humanizing him in a rather heroic pose. I find it fun trying to convert a pony's armor which was obviously designed to be on a pony and putting it on a human. This is what I got. And I also liked the idea of using a cape in place of his wings, as you can sorta see those armor/blade things he tends to have are part of the design of the fabric. And mirroring his mane and tail with the cloth on his belt I thought would be a wise decision and an interesting place for his cutie mark (cause putting it on the cape is too cliche' even for me).

All in all I'm more satisfied with this piece than I was at the dozens of others that I failed at. There's less than 3 days left in this contest so if you think you got what it takes you best hurry up and get over here

This is a really good piece. I see that you don't think it's creative, but I feel that Loyal Wing's armor is more Asian/Middle Eastern inspired, where Xalcer's seemed to be more European. It works for the character.

I know it's just more that I basically did this sort of thing already. That's why It's not creative to me. Plus I've been told when I humanize my oc; Azure Night's armor he gives off a sort of samurai feel.

Looking at Azure's armor in your own and other's humanizations in your gallery, I can see what you are talking about. I can also understand your feelings, especially since you did go with a humanization the last go round, so it doesn't feel quite as fresh as it did with Xalcer. To me it's still a good piece.

Eh, I'd call it passe. Not pleased either that I couldn't make my other ideas work. I mean the one I did of him and Twilight WAS gonna be my entry but then I realized it wasn't appropriate for the contest and I'm still not certain canonxoc shipping is allowed material in the group (afterall I have FAR too many Azuna/ AzurexLuna). *Sigh* Sucks to have a block when the due date looms. Oh well. I still won the first contest with an epic image and no one can change that ^_^

Eh. I'm kinda disappointed that I basically did the same thing as I did in the last contest. So knock points off for creativity. Oh and no background and he's just standing there like a baws.

That's fine, just do what you think is/feels right.

What makes you think it's not creative?
I think it's plenty creative.

Hmm, yeah, I did say to put him in a scene, but don't worry, it's still great.

Well because it's basically the same thing as the last contest. I used the same basic idea so it's passe

Hey, don't put your art down, it's said the every artist's worst critic is themselves.
Don't fix what isn't broken
I like your human designs, they are fantastically done.
