an update

Hi all. I hope everyone is doing well. I've been taking an extended break from FimFiction lately. Had some undesirable interactions with some users. That coupled with some of my creative frustrations just makes logging on... kind of unpleasant? If I do log on, it's usually to try and catch up with the fics I'm reading and then I quickly log off. I'm just feeling drained with the MLP fanfic

ponies fix everything

New chapter for What They Hope to Find is out! I talk about what's next after the jump, but before that, a quick anecdote:

Rarity WIP 2 · 7:45pm Jun 15th, 2016

That Rarity art I did the other day? I started coloring it. I did base colors, lighting, and shadows for Rares. I haven't decided on her background yet (whether I'll actually draw a scene or just do something simple/abstract). I could use some feedback though... (image after the jump)

Should I do highlights for her hair? Or do the blush colors and start on the background? If you look, I sort of started to do some highlights in the top indigo hair. (The white lavender lines. I didn't do anything in the purple gradient...which I had to do manually btw, since ArtRage Lite doesn't seem to have a gradient tool) Light source is in the upper right corner.

And I found this really cool lighting guide that I kinda used. Sorta.
