Description This may or may not qualify for the December Draw Off competition, but I'll be submitting it anyway.
It was based off this [link] and I wanted to redo it, because whoever did it isn't an artist (or, at least, not a good one) and I reckoned I could do a better one.
But that's why it might not qualify, it was based on something, and I was told by the guy who's doing the competition that it was a treading the line a little too closely on stealing, which is against the rules.
But I can submit it as a noncompeting piece, just to show it off.
We'll see.
EDIT: It does qualify, yay!

Oh Rarity, your mane and tail are a nightmare! Especially in this lineless style.
I do enjoy the architecture in this show, I have a whole bunch of screencaps just for the houses.
EDIT: Oh yeah, when I was drawing this I gave Rarity a coat thingy, and then, exactly as I am colouring, official winter outifts are released, and I had more or less gotten it right. All I had to change was the colour and add a jewel.


Happy Hearth's Warming!


Anyway, I'd like to take this opportunity to ask:
Anyone interested in a comission? Either in this picture book style, with or without ponies, or anything else at all?
check my gallery, I can do things beside ponies
I'd love to start doing comissions, and I was wondering if anyone would be interested. Let me know if you are, I'll write a journal about prices soon.

I'm very pleased to hear that, but I've got a currant comissioner who ordered 4 full illustrations, and another person waiting in queue. I can put you in third, if you wish?
It'll be at least a few weeks though, before I get you.

Happy holidays!

That is totally fine, I need a few weeks to save some dollar. I will note you soon about ideas ^o^

Glad to hear it! Lookin' forward to it.
It really will be at least about three weeks from now though.
But since you inquired now, I'll charge the rate it says on the journal, as it currently is.

Eh, it's only fair, I reckon. I closed comissions after two, then two more (latter is you) enquired. Honestly, didn't think I'd even get one. I just think it would be kinda lame of me to put those prices there and not follow through.
After I get to and finish yours though, might have to stop comissions for a bit. I should probably get around to not being a jobless bum, and finally work on my showreel.

Don't be so flippin' humble! I'm surprised you didn't get OVER 9,000!!! Your art is amazing, and I want it on and around my walls... When should I note you re: commission proposal?

WizardWannabe In reply to puddinandpie88 [2012-01-13 11:37:03 +0000 UTC]

Thank you. I've just never been used to so much praise before, it's really quite foreign to me, my default action is to be humble about it.

I apologise for not being faster. I'm still doing a set of four large commissions for one person, and then another person after her. I'm trying to do them as fast as possible but real life keeps getting in the way. This month especially, thanks to my dumb university graduation.
I'll update the commission journal when I'm done with each commissioner, but a rough estimate I can take your commission details will be the end of january, I'm afraid.
I apologise for the wait, and I hope you're still interested.

No need to apologise, I just got screwed by the tax office, so I'm currently working that out and am potentially facing a week (or two) with $8 to my name... So there's really no rush, haha >.<

Haha, thanks, it'll be fine. Just an annoying turn of events that have cropped up two years after my previous employer went bankrupt... Anyways! So no pressure, you can take your time! but I totally still want to commission you!!! >w<

Two years later? Taxes confuse me.

I'm glad! I'll still try to get to you as soon as I can, I'm trying to improve my production speed anyway!

Good luck with your tax problem!

Thanks, my colour choices are one of the few things that I think sets me apart, even if just a little, so it makes me happy when people compliment it.
And I do so love texturey art.

Thank you very much! I just hope it's good enough to win, but the competition is fierce, so I'm not particularly hopeful.

Ahhhh. This seriously looks like something out of children's story book! 8D

This made me smile a lot. <3 This is just too amazing!

Thank you very much, that's usually the aim of these pony artworks I've been doing, I think the artstyle is a good fit for it. Someday I want to make a small sequential story like these.
It makes me so happy you enjoyed it!

Sisterhooves Social and Sweet And Elite did a lot for me in appreciating the both of them, but Rarity's mane and tail are still a pain in the flank!
I guess the person who made that activity book cover didn't have the episodes we have now to draw upon, which is why I drew the both of them as they are. I wanted them to be as happy as they were at the end of Sisterhooves Social.

It's a beautiful picture, mate. I'd've loved to have send my Christmas cards out with that as a design on it. Too bad I'd already been to WH Smith this year.

I can only imagine what sort of amazing rendition Sweetie Belle is doing to that stuffy old Christmas carol.

WizardWannabe In reply to DeeperMadness [2011-12-15 19:58:09 +0000 UTC]

I'd love to have something of mine actually printed, that would be so awesome.
Thanks!
That reminds me, need to send out some cards to friends...

However she's doing it, I imagine it is with a lot of energy, something jazzy and upbeat, with a bit of gospel choir thrown in. But most of all, she's happy to be singing with her sister.

I know I said it in my email, but don't worry about this being a case of stealing. That rule is mainly to keep people from tracing and claiming it as their own, this here is a truly awesome piece inspired by the official artwork. If I had known from the beginning you were planning a revision of this magnitude I would have said no problem!

Sorry if I had you worrying about your entry. It definitely deserves to be in the competition. I look forward to any other works you wish to submit!
