What can I say? I love these little rascals. I have to admit I haven't been keeping up with the episodes in season 3 but I have them downloaded. I've been too busy letting other things occupy my time.
The goal of this image was to go for another style influenced by another pony artist named ~DisfiguredStick . I tried to mock it as best as possible for the fun of it as well as to be in the shoes of that artist! I like the results and I'm going to explore a few new styles that interest me. I also have one of those MLP comics that came out recently and I incorporated that Sweetie Belle's holdin' the pies. I betcha they're sweet potato pies. I added as many well known faces as possible. In the end I noticed that Caroline received another style change. I'll alter her appearance depending on the picture I'm trying to produce.
I hope everyone enjoyed there holiday week! Many best wishes from me and Caroline!
Wildfire and the mane6 re-created by the wondrous imaginations of *Sibsy and *fyre-flye
HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

I know I'm very late on seeing this pic but you know life gets you some times. Awesome work yet again Todd. Although I like Caroline's original style, you have never been one to change a characters appearance and do a bad job with it. I like the maturity in Caroline's features and this style looks just as amazing as your original style. This style makes her seem very much like a OC than a fan character.

Awesome, it looks good the way you've just coloured in some pony's eyes, it gives a really nice effect.

Very nice work. Glad to see some traditional work being posted before the end of the year.

Thank you! I'm glad to see read comments that don't hassle me about eye color. I tell you, it's like the Sonic fanbase all over again to an extent.

It's a traditional piece. Nailing the color of anything is as tedious as picking out the EXACT color of anything. With Photoshop and Sai, you can just ink well the colors that you need from a copied pic.
In my pic of Vinyl, Here Eyes aren't exact cause I didn't have the exact color, so I improvised.

YES! Thank you. When I get comments like this, I just ignore them because it's not going to always be right. The only one's eye color I can nail perfectly is Pinkie Pie. How hard is it to spot blue and contrast it from light to dark? Not very!
Thank you so much, I'm glad to hear form someone who understands. Us traditional artists need to unite!

Another lovely piece as always, and I like the change to Caroline in this one. She feels a lot more classy in a way with her sharper facial features and the more narrow eyes. It really helps her stick out from the softer shaped ponies. Happy New Year.

Thank you! I love to play with certain styles with my character. Hopefully the next one will be another surprise. Her style appearance here doesn't affect how she looks throughout the FaMV story. With this image she doesn't look very stereotypical as in the older days. I just look at it as a year of progression. I want her to be my character and not another "Fan" character. In images like this, the role I gave her as being a daughter does not exist. All of he saiyan features are erased.

The power of creativity is awesome, right? I agree with having an original character being better than a fan one, so I think that's a pretty good choice to do. However I have fan characters as well and if done right can be cool. (All of mine are probably bad because I made them way back in the days of middle school and haven't touched them since.)

Firstly, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too.
Secondly, I have sent this in to EQD for Drawfriends as I'm pretty sure there's enough pony there to qualify it as a pony pic. I like how you emulated the artist's style, while still throwing in your own character in the mix. This year had it's ups and downs, but in the end, it went fairly well. Hope next year goes even better, for me, you, and everyone else.

Same to you. I had a good break. It's not enough, but I'm assuming your holiday break was full or plenty of R&R. I saw that a couple of minutes ago. It scored at the very bottom but I appreciate it none-the-less. I haven't made a DF since my nightmare moon illustration. It's been pretty quiet on my side. But all of the comments there don't really talk about mine since I always seem to be the oddball artist that draws my character with them and to top it off it's not in color.
Hopefully for you and everyone else, the next year will be full of many new goals that will be reached! Happy New Year and thanks once again for sharing my art to the community with another DF post.

Applebloom's eyes are orange, not green. 
Anyway, I really like the art style.

Thank you for your comment and favourite. Nailing the color of anything is as tedious as picking out the EXACT color of anything. Maybe if this were Photoshop or SAI sure.

This looks really awesome! I love Caroline's look for this picture, especially her expression! Fluttershy looks sooooooo cute in a matching fur hat! And Pinkie Pie is ridiculously adorable!

Thanks you very much. I just end up changing Caroline's features a bit for images like this. It's less influenced by anime as opposed to the Halloween picture I did before I got blacked out. If I end up creating another one I'll probably change her again but these little changes will not effect the FaMV illustrations already in motion.
The pony above Fluttershy is Wildfire. The ponysona of *Sibsy who is the senior storyboard artist for MLP:FiM. I'll probably draw her again in a future picture.

Awesome job!!

Thank you. It was something I wanted to try since I changed her appearance in the Halloween picture I posted. I thought I would try the same for this one.
