Impending got one part of his posted, but it's still not a complete section for even the first half. We will either be posting it as a work in progress at this rate (not far from original intent), or skipping his section entirely. I've no idea, actually, I'm no longer even sure it's all going to work out at this point.
But since I'm currently focused on ponies either way, and whatever becomes of this it's still partially my project (even if my influence was basically "do try not to kill everyone" and "let's make a sequel", plus the name). As such, I'd still like to do the title image for it.
Since it contains no spoilers, I'll be posting and discussing it (or, well, just talking to myself if nobody else shows up) in here.
First interesting observation:
Character on the left - Urist Vaultbridges.
I don't think I ever got a proper description of him/her, so the design went "straight from the mind". Time taken - about 15 minutes.
Character on the right - well, guess. Time taken to draw to this point - about
one and a half bloody hours. Well, a lot of that was just trying to get the wings right (wings are the new hands), but that's still considerably more time taken. And I had references and everything. And she still doesn't look exactly right. I must've spent half an hour just trying to get the face/hairdo to stop channeling Twilight Sparkle at me. So, observation - established characters are much harder to convincingly draw without resorting to established conventions (i.e. colors). And for this scene, I'll need all six of them. I'd do a *headdesk*, but no desk is handy, and my laptop wouldn't survive it.
Well, at least it's fun.
