"...The being standing before her was completely unknown 'like the hollow before' her mind couldn't help but think, It stood on two legs, about a foot or more taller then her Pa, back straight with two legs higher up it's body which at each end had 5 small digits like the hollow but without claws,one was covered in blood she noticed grimly, a short black mane was on it's head which came down it's back as two thin braids with rings in each end, other then that no fur or tail was visible, but that may have been because it was wearing clothes! like the princess and princes of Canterlot, the back of it's long white robe was a symbol, a black sideways diamond empty save for two black lines inside, briefly she worried it might be hostile like the hollow or even some type she hadn't yet seen, but the hollows own reaction spoke for it's self..." -Sunsnap
Feat. Soi Fon, random hollow and a young pony named Sunsnap.
Yepyep, I learned alot from my last works. Refined my style and lighting a bit and was quite thrilled about this one. But it went just so damn smooth, everything seemed to lock in it's place and got this done about two times faster than my "Lunar Rebellion". Reduced my layer usage a bit and bam, it became much more easier to work with, and that reflects to the final result, which I actually really like. Didn't expect this one to turn out this good.
Just that.. Proportions are still a little bit off, and this pony, Sunsnap seems to be in rather awkward and weird position, I suck with foreshortening, tried to actually cover it with foliage a bit but.. Whatev.
"Bankai. Jakubo Raikoken." "Oh fu..." "...Oooops. Memo to self: No bankai for me. Not when there are...civilians?...in the line of fire. I hope Yoruichi-sama doesn't find out...she'll never let me live it down."
Near perfect proportions and the atmosphere/mood make this a great piece. Maybe proportions are slightly off, but they fit in more with the atmosphere. Sunsnap's expression and angle is actually pretty well done. I can clearly see why you think it's awkward, but, and I'll say it again, it happens to fit in with the rest of the piece ideally, whether that's accidental or sub-conscious writer talent you decide. I will without any exaggeration say this is a perfectly done pic because everything fits together so well in the tense, well-done atmosphere. What you could do is start putting a little more detail in everything. That's my only advice/critique, but remember, keep the piece smooth and proportioned throughout, I can't say this enough. You seem to know how to deal with your current artistic limitations; that's a quality I rarely see in deviant art. Keep up the good wok !
Right now.
Wouldn't it somewhat make sense if derpy could actually see hollows?
