Description
Anyone remember the little mare I made a year ago, alongside 3 others? in Marem of the Equine
She is considered part of First Contact War, with a little outfit change.
Decided to try and remake her in this style. A lot of folks seemed to like her a lot back them, so I went and took the challenge. And oh did it in the end turn out to be a bit of a challenge haha.
Somehow, without knowing, I had chosen some exact circumstances where her primary eye appeared like it was her only eye. Due to the angle of the face, direction she looks in, hair, face shape, shading, and primarily also her camo pattern... kinda working as camo, obstructing clear view of her facial details and identification points. Things like her ear, nose and all that kinda got lost in this big area that was her pattern. But it was a fun discovery to see just how effective it was. (In the WIP steps you can see it more clearly without any adjustments)
It's still slightly there, but it's a bit less drastic with the adjustment I ended up making.
Either way. This piece was also a throwback to the early first month of this style, primarily keeping my Warm Adventure Flow in mind. Although with this pony's design being the way it is, it does make it a bit hard to compared. I may take one of the other 4 mares from the set and make another one like this next Saturday (maybe, not certain yet)
Or I may just end up designing more OC characters. Would give me even more choice of characters to paint in like this.
There's not really a backstory to her yet. She does stand out, and while she specifically may or may not have a story to her, at least her pattern kinda does. A unique line of genes and/or mutation, with varying attitude from other ponies being received. Appearance and physical state does play a role in FCW, and this is no exception on that. Whether it's positive or negative.
Approx Time: ~13 hours
