Other Artwork, part 2

Just for fun, I decided to try one of those YCH (Your Character Here) commission sites a while back. For those not familiar with the concept, the artist provides an already drawn scene with the background and posed pony/ponies. You provide the gender/race/color information and they modify the already existing pony to match.

The advantages are that it's a lot faster than a full commission (I went from payment to done in about 2 hours), and it's cheaper (since all they're doing is color/shading the ponies, well, plus wings or horn). The obvious disadvantage is you're restricted to what existing scenes they offer, with no customization (or if offered, for an extra fee).

I'm not sure where the web-site is hosted (https://ych.commishes.com/category/brony/) but the artist I used is in Russia (I'm in the US). I thought that was VERY cool.

That particular site acts like an auction site, but the reality is you're basically just claiming a slot to get a piece done. The winning bid is just a down-payment on the options they offer. So if you "win" for $10, but the color/shaded piece costs $20, that's what you pay to get it done. But everything is documented so you know what you're getting. Footnote: as a buyer, I did the entire thing as a guest without the need to make an account.

This next one was from a Reddit post offering to do free drawings of OCs. So I sent them my character reference doc and waited to see what they created. They thought it would be fun to give Quicksilver and Misty a kid, so there he is. If you look at the colors, you can see how it's a merge of the parents. It's not something I can use as cover art, but it's still fun. Credit to: Flame The Kitsune
