Somehow I'll Make a Man Out of You.

Oh my gosh. STOP EVERYTHING.  I finally figured out how to draw his face+hair so it looks masculine enough. *tears of joy*


It's all about the cheek bones and the chin! >_< Why did I not realize this sooner?! I went back and edited the sketches I did of his face a few days ago ( X ) to try out this new face shape and hairstyle. Massive improvement, I think...


I feel like years and years of drawing him looking too Asian, too girly, too Elven, and/or too alien have finally been resolved! *celebrates*

Since we're on the topic of manliness, what could be manlier that My Little Ponies: Friendship is Magic?

All of my closest friends are huge MLP:FiM fans.  A silly late-night chat on Facebook led us to deciding Vahaadi and Flint need to take part in this cultural phenomenon:

"How to Spot a 'Bro'ny."

Slap-dash sketch in pencil + slapdash Photoshop shading. You know, normally I hate the use of the term "gay" as an expression of disgust, but the irony was too funny to pass up. Vahaadi just can't get into this My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic stuff.  SULK FACE ACTIVATED.

OH MY GOD! MY EYES! THEY BURN AT THE BRIGHT CRAYOLA COLORS! D8

*giggles horribly and goes to introduce Vahaadi to something he's sure to want more and appreciate less once he sees it-- the G.I. Joe movie*

Yay omgosh I can post in the boxes again! Here's the pic! I think Kala is saying something like "Lanthriel, Took A'vahn KNOWS something about me, I can FEEL it! And I need to know too." Naturally, Lanthriel is not pleased to hear this. Hope you like!

@AC: XD!!!!!! I've never seen that movie so I don't know, but it sounds pretty bad. Poor Vahaadi, he's going to start thinking only horrible things come from televisions. Vahaadi: I hate eceltr--elek--electronics! Whatever they're called--I despise them!" >____<

@Evie: YAAAAAYYYY you're back! <3 I'm so relieved, I was afraid I'd have to complain to blogger or move to a different site. I think I keep this blog mostly for you so it would be lame if you of all people couldn't post. :P

*happygasp!* Evie, they look wonderful! Their expressions are perfect! Ahhh, Lanthriel, you look so much better with a man-face, sorry it took so long to figure it out. DX Thank you for drawing this! I'm trying to think of a scenario to draw them in that would show them both happy like you asked, but it's proving harder than I thought. oO Their relationship is pretty much mutual exasperation.
