I really love MLP, but I don’t want people to follow/watch/ect me just because I draw ponies.

I’m afraid that if I did post all the ponies I draw, when I post my original work and other non-pony stuff people will ignore it or even get upset with me because I didn’t upload ponies. Or, worse, that people will start thinking that I’m just drawing ponies to get popular, which is not the reason I draw them…

I want to draw what I like without being labeled, which is hard to do these days…

I’m kind of like that. The only difference is no one really gets upset when I draw my original stuff instead of pony. Drawing MLP fanart is a blast, but I get the most out of doing my own stuff. True original art on Deviant Art is a rarity these days. Too many people draw so-called “OCs” based on existing properties. I have no problem with fan-based characters but that shit ain’t original and it never wil be. 

Stop calling them “OCs”! (/end rant)

Margaret - Cleaning her Glasses by =ronaldhennessy

See clearly now.

Once again trying a different way of presenting my work. This is how I draw on paper. I scanned it in and cleaned it up.

My addiction to ponies completely cancelled out my addiction to anime.

It cancelled out for my, but I’m willing to come “back” to it. Ironically, my exposure to ponies has raised the bar for my expectations in anime. I won’t except any bullshit…and that’s becoming hard to come by these days.

Double Scoop - Maddie Ponified by =ronaldhennessy

I said I wouldn’t do a ponification again…I lied. You might consider this a “OC Pony”. I don’t because the using this design is not original, it is based on an existing property which doesn’t make it original. However, it is a BASED on an original character. Next time, when you create an “OC”, if you base it from an existing show, video game or something similar its not original. And that’s why the people who run the ocart group have migraines from continuing to reject Kingdom Hearts “OCs” every day.

Enough soapboxing, this pony is based on my creation, Maddie. I’d figure she would be the easiest since she is a filly and has no cutie mark. A combination of sickness and issues with the pen tool made this a lot harder to do. The end result turned out ok since I was aiming for the FIM look, but I probably could have done this faster without vectoring it up. I guess Photoshop is ill suited for a task like this.

I chose the name “Double Scoop” since the human version likes ice cream. The colors represent two things, Sherbet Ice cream (my favorite Ice Cream) and Maddie’s human color palette. She doesn’t have her cutie mark as she is still finding out what she truly is made for, but that may come one day.

More of these ponifications are on the way once I learn to get the hang of the pen tool a bit more.
