Description

Applejack

Very unnecessarily confusing style exploration. Started out just wanted to get the same face type I used for my Applejack Exalted ( fav.me/d7npi5j ) except then on a full pony body.
Ended up doing a bunch of sudden changes in focus, trying different approached after each other, switching half way through one and things like that.
Also just rushing it in the end a bit because I went way overtime :XD:

The WIP might show more on that hehe.

Anywho, so there's a lot of flaws or mistakes here and there, especially with colouring, layering, etc.. I'll have to redo this experiment again and the correctly and focused on the end goal.


Approx Time: 5 hours?

I must say, the shape of the head was the most interesting part of Applejack Exalted to me. I am not certain what it is about it, but I find it very interesting. It has very defined curving planes in it, yet somehow retains the almost spherical smooth look that is seen in most renditions. You've also done an excellent job with the form. It is very easy to see exactly what this would be in three dimensions. Hmm.. Looking again, to me the tail does not have a very clear form. That is quite a challenge though, you do not want to so saturate the tail with detail that it detracts from the overall picture by making the style inconsistent, nor should the tail become the focal point. I am not sure what I would do to better convey the form of the tail.. Perhaps a drop shadow would help? Looking at the picture with this in mind it seems almost like the tail is a two dimensional object behind her rather than a part of her. Maybe more contrast in the shadows on the hair? I do not know. Regardless, it is an excellent picture and I very much like it.
