RedEspen's Pony OC Contest!Hey there Pony Gazette goers! Co-founder RedEspen here and I have quite the treat for you!
Recently, Desolim and I have been painting custom blind bag ponies, mainly of our OC's or older gen. ponies. Eventually we would like to start up custom commissions with them, but for now we're just painting as a hobby. However, I'm stuck with a left over unicorn that I have no idea what to do with! It's quite the travesty! So here's how I'm going to do this. I'm going to be holding a contest just for you guys!
:star: The Contest :star:
In total, I have three pony OC's, the adorable Flutterberry, the radical Star Charmer, and the ever so mysterious Comet Dust! Your job for this contest is to choose which of the three is your favorite and draw me some fan-art of either of them! Pretty simple, yes?

[ Two-Part Design Contest ] + CLOSED and JUDGINGEDIT4://Another extension was requested for March 27th, this will be the last extension!!
EDIT3://Due to request from many people, I have extended the deadline until MARCH 20TH!!
EDIT2://Lots of people have been showing interest and entering for Part 1 and I'm in love with so many of these awesome entries! I have decided to award 300 points to one or two extra entries in exchange for the rights to the image and clothing. This is because some entries are similar when you peel off their clothing yet when clothed, are very unique. In the end for my persona, I'll probably combine the 2-3 winning entries for a final look, possibly with alternate outfits from the winning entries. Once this has been judged, I'll note the winners with this offer and it's up to you whether you want to accept or not! Thank you~
EDIT://If there isn't enough entries/interest in this contest, I'll either extend the deadline or take off some points for the prizes.
So basically, I've bee
The end of a party, and the start of a show!3 Weeks Party / 3 Days Regret has come to an end, my first long story lasting over a year to create despite taking place within the timespan of 5 days. Overall very happy with the outcome and though it is painfully obvious how I lacked some of the skill that I later picked up in the earlier parts compared to later parts I have yet to correct all, but may still try and do so in the future, but definitely not in one go or that would destroy my brain to do so much editing / proof reading at once.
But alas, the end of a party indeed! And the end of regrets! But what now besides the usual random one off stories? Low and behold now you shall learn of Trixie's awe inspiring story in Magician's Obsessions!
Yes a long story of the most Powerful unicorn in ALL of Equestria! A story of self conflict and a story of friendship, a story of acceptance and a story of love! A Twixie romance of course, as could there ever be a doubt to that lavender mare falling for the most inspiring unicorn who has ev
OC Art Contest[EDIT] Official Deadline to submit your art is now December 3rd, 2012
Hey there, guys!
Would you like to have your pony OC featured in the background of the 3rd episode of the animated series "Doctor Whooves and the Assistant?"
Now you can! Just follow these rules and your OC MAY be put in the cartoon.
Rules:
-Have an OC that is a pony.
-Draw your OC doing an activity with my OC (stroking my ego, I know) and/or with Pierce Smoulder (OC for :iconbalddumborat:). You can see him in the Gangnam style video.
-Bear in mind that even if you do draw a picture, your OC may not be chosen to be put into the cartoon.
Winners will be chosen by myself, my co-animators and BalddumboRat if he/she feels up for it.
Exceptions:
-All OCs submitted and chosen to appear will be subject to modifications to fit the show style I use (recoloring, removing accessories, simplifying hairstyles, etc.) as I see fit.
-OCs will only appear in scenes where crowds and background ponies are needed. Off the top of my head
New pixelkitties shirts at We Love Fine.com
Have you secretly longed for blue horse in a cape painting a cat tee shirt? What about a dragon in your dragon so you can dragon? Uh, dawg? Well if either of those statements make sense to you, then today's your lucky day!
The tee shirt wizards at We Love Fine have been good enough to add two more of my designs to their lineup, this time in honor of that spooky holiday where masked strangers come to your door making idle threats!  No, not Arbor Day, Halloween!
You can pick up the Halloween Trixie  or I'm a Brurrup tee shirts right now, or head over to my Mighty Fine Artist page and check out all the perfectly good shirts I've defaced with my perfectly silly art!
What?  You don't like tee shirts?  Your puppy wa
Two Sides poster give-away at Canterlot Gardens!Here's something I think will be fun to do while I'm at Canterlot Gardens. So if you're going, read up xD
I'm going to be at the convention on Saturday (and maybe Friday, we'll see), and I'm going to carry around one copy of each of my Two Sides Posters (no watermarks)(You can see them here: http://tehjadeh.deviantart.com/gallery/34012529).
First people to come up to me and say, "ah derka derka" (no offence or anything meant. It's a phrase that my cousin kept saying to me one day and I have no idea what it means xD), gets to choose one of the posters I have! But I will only have one copy of each (Or maybe if more people are interested, I'll bring more!). So first come, first serve!
How can you find me? I'll most likely be with the sexy people of Silly Filly Studios all day, and I'll be in their panel at 2:30-3:30 on Saturday. Probably wearing a Wonderbolts shirt.
Yeah. I think that's it. Looking forward to meeting some of you :D
Remember, if lots of people are interested,
The Unproductiveness of my YouthhoodI just realized how much time was wasted when I was younger. My elementary and High school's art classes never really taught me anything other than SOME perspective, SOME techniques, SOME still life, SOME crosshatching and how to do SOME construction lines on the face. And when they did teach it was in a way that, even now that I'm more experienced at art, is overly complex and doesn't REALLY tell you how it works (e.g. step 1: draw a circle, step 2: Draw the rest of the fucking thing). I never learned much and it just felt taxing whenever they taught me. And I did it all for the grade and not because I enjoyed art. Even the art club (which I only joined for one year) didn't teach us anything. They just tell us to bring tools and materials, and when we do, they just say go art something... Sure this is a good creative exercise, but only if you knew the basics which we didn't. We, or at least I, had and still have no idea how to paint on canvas, which paints to use for what I want to ac

A New Year, a New Contest. [Win a Premium!]

Journal Entry: Wed Jan 2, 2013, 4:00 PM
  • Mood: Delighted
  • Listening to: Rocks - Imagine Dragons
  • Reading: -
  • Watching: Criken
  • Playing: Dragon Age: Origins
  • Eating: After Eights, All of them :V
  • Drinking: Coffee
Firstly, here's hoping your 2013 has been good so far! :dummy:
[And hopefully you've all recovered from your hangovers!]


So, having already given away one 12-month premium membership, I've decided that I want to give someone else one!
(Or split one between 2 if it's too hard to decide!)





_________________________________________________________

So, what is it going to be about this time?
Simple; Guy-Ra :iconveggie55-manfaceplz:




What must you do?

Compose an artistic-piece that features or has something to with the infamous Guy-Ra.




Artistic-piece?

Yes, this includes any form of the word.
Drawings, Writing, Audio-Composing, Photography, you name it.




Deadline?

Right now, I'm thinking 8th February   but that may increase with time.




Who's going to judge this?

This time, it'll be both myself and also a few selected friends (:




Any rules I should be aware of?

You know me, I'm not offended by things others can sometimes easily be offended by. So, be as SFW or as NSFW as you wish, I believe a premium should be made available for all types of artists.
(If what you're drawing cannot be uploaded to Deviantart, due to maturity issues, drop me a link to it!)



Can I include OCs?

If you wish.



How do I enter?

Just upload the deviation as you would any other (For videos, use Youtube, Vimeo or whatever) and send me a note here, on Deviantart.
Titling it "Contest" or "Competition" or whatever would be helpful!
(If it's too NSFW for Deviantart, link me directly to the piece via Notes here.)



I won, but I don't want/need a premium, can I give it to someone else?

Sure! Just let me know who first ;)



How many pieces can we do?

Feel free to make as many as you wish, but I'll only accept one for as an entry.



What if I'd like to split the premium in two for two people? would that be possible?

Absolutely.






Any other questions? Note me the details, or drop a comment via steam if you want to know something. (And I'll add it to the journal!)

______________________________________________________________________


So guys, if you want to give it a shot, please do, I love receiving the various entries that people make <3
That's all, and have fun!
