Week Nine: All Together

They're all finished! Going to start commissions and Week 10 tonight!

Week Nine: Closing In...

With Spring Break under way and no rush on my homework, there was plenty of time and motivation for drawing yesterday. All that remains is to color three more drawings and finish sketching/inking one.

Unabashed favoritism was a big factor here, since Duke is my favorite Duck and Rarity is my favorite Pony. There's other reasons, but again, they can wait until all the drawings are finished and put on DeviantArt together.

Commissions will be started tomorrow!

Week Nine: Catch-Up

Inked two today! Again, giving myself until Monday to finish which should be no sweat. Still undecided on how to color them, but slapping some pigment on with GIMP is tempting.

Also have four commissions to do! Good thing next week is Spring Break!

Week Nine: Three's Company

Tired of the number puns yet? Too bad.

This is actually going better than anticipated. Since both ducks and ponies are simple and familiar to me and there won't be any backgrounds to fuss with, it's actually quite relaxing. They can be churned out rather quickly with still decent results.

Anyway, Mallory and Rainbow Dash are inked and Nose Dive and Pinkie Pie are started. Not posting Wildwing and Apple Jack again since nothing further has been done to them, so there's no need to waste the space.

Week Nine: For Two

These are going to be numbered in my sketchbook so it's obvious that there's a reason for six drawings in a row to have the same theme. A lot had to be fixed before inking Wildwing and Applejack, but the end result looks nice. Hopefully that will continue with the coloring step.

The next two are Mallory and Rainbow Dash. Mallory's polishing a helmet that's in serious need of being re-drawn along with her hand. All of the ducks will be in casual clothes that I make up as I go because the idea is for these to be simple. Drawing their battle gear would be too time-consuming.

Week Nine: The Nostalgic 2x4

Last Friday as the work day was winding down and two cups of coffee were pumping through my system, a project for this week came to me. One of my favorite shows to watch after school with my brother and father (not long before he was killed) was the Mighty Ducks cartoon series. My Little Ponies were among my favorite toys at the time, too. With the new Pony series out featuring six main characters and an important show from my childhood having the same, the idea came to me to combine the two.

So the idea this week is do complete six easy drawings featuring a Duck and the Pony I think suits them best. Some are going to be biased (my two favorites will definitely be in the same drawing), but over-all I'll have reasons for matching them up. Those not familiar with either or both will be totally lost and for that I apologize. Hopefully you'll enjoy this week anyway.

Also, I consider today Day One. The first one is team captain Wild Wing with farm girl Apple Jack. Reasons to come when they're all finished.

Also, a quick, inexpensive commission that I did for a friend. Two of his characters as ponies. My favorite pony Rarity is in the background because she's responsible for the male looking so dressed up.
