Description

Day 13 of the third EQD Newbie Artist Training Grounds.
Prompt: Draw a pony transforming/Draw a pony in disguise.

Well, I'm much happier with how this entry to the NATG turned out in comparison to yesterday. I do love the drama of this moment in the MLP series. Anyways, I wanted to try out another method of modeling wings, which turned out to have its pros and cons, like all my trials. Also, if I attempt another way of modeling hair, like I did today, I swear I will pull my own out. :D I think I'm up to like 5 or 6 different ways of making hair. Had fun though. One last note, I tried out some new methods for lighting up the scene...it took a few tries to get it bright enough to fit the "magical overload" feeling.

Each day I try to push myself farther out of my comfort zone and try something new. It's hard, and I can see some habits and ruts forming from the way I practice modeling already, so it's an ongoing effort. It's worth it though.

Enjoy!

I remember watching a behind-the-scenes thing for The Incredibles, and in reference to Violet Parr's hair they reminisced about how during development they couldn't it to lay or move right. "Long hair is still kind of... theoretical," they were told while actively trying to make the character work.

Something's off about those legs... are you putting the knee joint too far down and in the wrong place?
