I'm winding down from a pretty stressful week of no drawing, so here's a quick shipping meme for GG20s Rarijack.

Anonymous asked:
are the witches not humans? i mean celestia and luna look pretty out there w/ the multiple faces but twilight and most of the others look fairly normal. or is it just a celestia & luna (and chrysalis) thing?
Canterlot witches like Celestia and Luna are not human but an entirely different entity. Humans can become witches by title, but their bodies will never be purely magical like those in Canterlot. You can tell who's what by their title, "Witch of ____" is human, "The ____ Witch" is Canterlotian.

Sunset (& Shimmer) versus the Siren Sisters.
Finally got to designing the Dazzlings. First time doing monsters too, it was fun. I'll post a synopsis of Sunset's story for the AU below the cut.
Some sketches.
When I started on the sirens, I wanted to combine their monster form and human forms together. The idea I ended up going with is a giant rattlesnake serpent, mixing Western and nautical themes, with frontal arms (I tried referencing the serpent from Genesis). Maple pointed out common Native folktales of monster serpents that live in lakes too. I made their human forms a sort of complex organ at the ends of their tongues (the sirens' brains are in their snake heads, the human "body" is really just a very precise hand-puppet). When looking at them in insolation, the human body's meant to look like a mermaid. They work like an angler fish's lure, tempting unsuspecting, hexed victims into their jaws. Often times, they'll lay their tongue baits along lakeshores as injured women to lure people closer and snap them up. They also act like a moray eel's second jaw, grabbing and pulling their prey down their throats. When "inactive," the human body simply lays inside the snake's throat. When they speak, you'll catch glimpses of glowing eyes in the back of their throats. I originally drew them bare-chested, but ended up giving them some modesty since the AU's theming is family friendly and this is also still MLP. If sexual temptation doesn't work, they'll resort to psychological torment and manipulation to weaken their enemy (as you'll see with Sunset).
They preside in lakes and ponds near small towns. The villagers speak of a hauntingly beautiful wailing from the "dragon's lair." And every night a song is heard, a cow or villager disappears.
I'm probably gonna draw some more poses and explorations with the Sirens, I have a lot of fun and creative ideas of how their human organs interact with their snake body.

you can always tell how little people actually care about art based on how much they hate modern/contemporary art
''bring back renaissance art'' I bet your ass you can't even definitively tell that movement apart from others
"posing next to art we think we can do'' can you though. can you
>sees a post about the superiority of renaissance art.
>it's baroque.
