    A Fan Favorite

    So, in between commissions, I like to do some personal pieces to give myself a chance to relax. Recently I got the idea to revisit a fan favorite character from my (arguably) most popular story on this site.

    Honey Pot

    Just as a refresher, here's what she looked like back in the day.

    Unfortunate News

    Hey guys, I know it's been a VERY long time since you've heard from me on here. It's been a year and a half since my last blog post, and it's mainly because I've been prioritizing other parts of my life.

    Getting Back Into Gear (MOA:AP Readers)

    I know, I know, it's been forever, both with Hate Thy Neighbor AND MOA: Alternate Perspectives. I haven't been writing much lately, but I've been presented with an opportunity to change that. I'll be making separate journals tagging both HTN and MOA:AP since this journal will discuss my plans for both, so for the folks that'll be getting this in their feed twice, I apologize in advance.

The Cover Art is DONE!!! · 3:11am Jul 27th, 2014

Finally got the cover art for MOA: Alternate Perspectives done, and it took me longer than it really should have. So, without further ado...

There you have it!

Octavia was a pain to get right, and I still think she looks a little off, but what can ya do? I'm still trying to find a style that I'm really comfortable with. Let me know what you guys think of this cover.

I'm gone!

Very nice. :pinkiehappy:

Don't worry about unimportant details so much. If it makes you feel any better, my drawings look like stick figures with scoliosis.

Very well done :) .

Looks pretty good. I must admit though if mares have similar, rounded muzzles, how come Luna's more square-like? Or is that just some weird concept I just picked up?

Well, Celestia has the same type of muzzle. You just can't see because she's looking straight forward.

2319153 Ah. That would make much sense.

It is perfect! :twilightsmile::twilightsmile::twilightsmile::twilightsmile::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy:

I'm not an artist, but I would suggest working on difference eye expressions.

2319188
Yeah, I pretty much gave them the same expression so it'd be easier for me. Variations in expressions are usually my strong suit, but when it comes to cover art, I end to want things done quickly.

This is a very nice picture. Now I will geek out in

Thank you for your time

Not bad. Better than what I can come up with in a couple days, but given enough time, I'd have something similar, but in my style. Keep on working on it, and you'll have it how you want it.

Also, 'Tavi does look a bit weird. I think it's the eyes and hairline.

While I have absolutely no knowledge or skill in the art of drawing, I shall offer my two bits. Looking at Octavia, and also Luna slightly, the shoulders look a bit too broad and sharp to me, compared to the figures of Celestia or Rarity which appear more feminine.

Just on the off chance that helps, it's still miles better than anything I could come up with. :twilightsheepish: Love the auras around each figure by the way. :raritystarry:

Yeah, I knew that Octavia was off from the get-go, and as for Luna, I didn't notice how broad her shoulders were until after I finished coloring her.

I'm still trying to find a definitive style that works for me.

2319801 It still damn fine work. I can barely draw stick figures never mind the complex form of anthro ponies. :fluttershysad: I look forward to seeing the first chapter of Alternate Perspectives. :scootangel:
