Slingring OC

Posted Oct 4, 2021, 10:00:02 PM UTC

My first submission for this website.

Slingring is a equine OC i have owned for a consecutive total of 3 years now, he lacks backstory and i suppose a ARPG would be a good idea to get him some story.

originally i had other artist's do the references for the character, but I've been delving into art now.

this above picture was based on a reference which i can link upon request. (NOT TRACED)

Species: Horse, Pinto breed supposedly.

Old: Ill leave it at 18.

Hair color: Blonde

Eye color: Brown

Biography:

Sling is quite simply just a horse, after venturing far and wide in various online communities he has finally landed on one which seems to suit him.

Although before he came he has a extensive history of people treating him poorly, hence him beginning to treat others poorly, hopefully slingring can change for the better!

Hope the biography is good enough, i dont exactly write backstories 24/7 hahah.

This is what MLP characters look like in 3D - https://ru.wikifur.com/w/images/e/e3/MLP_G5_EQD_exclusive_screencap.png
The head is round like a ball, the neck is a cylinder, the eyes are also round (but partially covered with eyelids and cheeks). And that’s how you should also draw this in 2D. I don’t know what reference you used to draw this, but if you can’t understand the shape from a 2D reference, I suggest you use 3D references from the G5 cartoon, MLP toys etc.

  Different styles are mostly about what your lineart and shading look like. But even in 2D a head is still round, a neck is still a cylinder etc. They’re not flat or shapeless.
  Your reference isn’t the best to show those shapes. This probably caused those problems with your drawing in the first place.
