Mattatatta's Place

(Request) The Bold, The Brash, and The Beautiful by ~Mattatatta

Finished the request! Woo!

Now it’s time to work on Survivor Shy!

Very nearly done. Just Rainbow and Rarity left, and a few bits of shading and details.

The hand-written text is a placeholder, I’m not confident in my own handwriting to consider worth keeping over something typed. I’m not even sure if any text will be in the picture when I’ve finished it - it may be best left to the requester if he so chooses.

I freaking love those eyes I’ve made, AJ’s eyes are Alasou-inspired, but the other two characters who have visible eyes are something I cobbled together from my own experience - which comes from borrowing from every artist beneath the sun. I think it offers a pretty interesting visual indicator as to their backgrounds.

Let’s call this one-third finished, since I’m not sure if I’ll be needed to write anything on this cover such as the fic’s title.

Had fun drawing the lines and pretty much doing the whole render of AJ and the male pony mug. It took me four hours, which isn’t very fast, nor is it too slow for me. Still, lots to do tomorrow when I pick this up again.

OH and by the way, check out the eye details. Some pretty interesting differences lurk between AJ’s and the other pony’s

Assuming there is nothing I have missed or forgotten, or nothing additional wanted by the requester, this sketch is ready for lines and colouring.

Lets soar~!

Those wings are marvellous

Decided to fill the rest of the sketch page with some Applejack. I don’t do front profile portraits often enough, so this was welcome practice. And AJ needs some love.

I seriously drew this in 15 minutes. No way I could overrun my time because I had to finish cooking my family’s meal, and wasn’t done until 7.10.

So yeah, I did cut into the submission time, but I did finish with 5 minutes to spare.

Choose your pony! - Just a doodle thing from the stream I thought why not. - Oh yea thanks for the advice.

CLICK AND DRAG!

Relevant music, designed to make your pony experience more musical!

The Prologue comic is done! It’s also got a massive piece of written prose to go along with it. It’s way too much to put into a post on Tumblr, so follow the source to read the story excerpt in the description if you’re up for it!

Survivor Shy - Prologue by ~Mattatatta

Now for bed *slams head on keyboard*

Afternoon Post by ~Mattatatta

Finished the last part of the Prologue comic for Survivor Shy. Tomorrow, I’ll be assembling all the parts and making the finishing touches.

And then, well, only Tumblr and Deviant Art will see it immediately.
Why not FimFiction? Because I’m overhauling it, and before I can do that, I need to draw two new scenes for the very first chapter of Survivor Shy on FimFiction. So next week will see me doing that!

I’m already feeling more motivated to draw now that this major screw up and time-eater is almost at a close. And the fact this picture looks so good makes me happy, too! 

I’m making a killing today. I’m so happy about that!

And it’s done. I took a little longer than expected due to Spike still being a challenge for me to draw, and Fluttershy’s pose being something I haven’t tried before.

I quite like how I managed to draw all of the Mane 6, I feel that the scene works pretty well with the placement of the characters and their reactions to what’s going on in the scene. Rarity is going to be fun to line and colour, all the time I spent slogging on her sketch has made her have a far better pose than I could’ve hoped for.

Anyway, I’ve just got to start tackling each character now. When I get this picture done, I’ll need to spend an hour or so in assembling to comic, adding the dialogue boxes, and making edits I cannot make without the comic being more complete.

Incase you’re wondering: I’m not going to edit already drawn parts of the comic to accommodate the new little detail I’m drawing for Fluttershy’s mane. I doubt it’s that noticeable anyway.
