Once again I had one of those spells where I just forgot to upload my work… So here’s an art dump.
I started on this one with the old Gen 3 My Little Pony toys in mind. Towards the end of that generation they started packaging the ponies in a way that mean their hair was super curly and wild straight out of the box – I never brushed some of mine specifically because I thought it looked much better than it did after they were brushed. This was intended to be the first in a series of drawings inspired by that look, but I’ve not gotten back to it yet.
This one is the first of two commissions I’ve received recently. Still working out the bugs. Fun fact, when I started this one, I accidentally drew a dragon head instead of a horse head as a result of both being rusty and still a little new to realistic horse anatomy in the face department. It’s probably the best dragon head I’ve ever drawn, though.
The idea for this one…. well, came when I was trying to design a pony on PonyIsland, and couldn’t seem to choose between two breeds. Somewhere along the line my head started to meld to the together and create some weird horse/deer/butterfly…. thing. I’ve named her Viscera, essentially the goddess of a violent end, including things like war and destruction. Not entirely sure how I feel about the design.
I really haven’t been drawing that much. I’ve been focusing on other things, namely trying to figure out how to deal with PTSD stuff correctly. I’m hoping to get my head back on straight and get through this finally.
