El Mutanto's SFW Workshop

MIGRATION

I’m defeated.

My new main blog will be on Twitter:

https://twitter.com/EMutanto

My other main blog for only sfw stuff is

https://elmutanto.deviantart.com

My most nsfw stuff will come straight to derpibooru as long as i won’t find any other good alternative for a main blog (some of the rapeplay stuff won’t hit twitter due to their content policy).

You can find me here on derpibooru:

So long Tumblr. It wasn’t fun. No, really. Buh Bye. I’m only sad that some good and wonderful people who I’ve met here are going to be thrown out.

—-{[|Pipboy 2550|]}—-

A little prop I’ve created for myself to use probably with a Fallout cosplay.

The story is that this Pip Boy is from a failed and aborted line of hand-helds that never saw commercial use. This one was a wrongly colored, wrongly put together unit that was rejected by Vault-Tec but somehow found it’s way into a Vault.

This was done with plywood and acrylic paints and the parts were cut with a laser cutter, curtesy of Fablab Kraków. The tablet I used for this prop was MyTab8 8″ tablet.

The prop was inspired by the A Familiar Friend - Pip-Boy 2500 - Handheld Pipboy mod from F:NV Necus and by images of other hand held pipboys people created on the internet ^_-

“Peanut Butter Blacksmith”

Comission for Silvia of RLPV. I really like this pony’s color scheme. It’s also fun to do this pose.

This… This… Just ruffles my jimmies.

I understand, you may feel very insecure with your works. I get it. But comics like this show artists as attention whores. If you do any work, you either take pride in it and show it to the people you want to see it, or you shy it away. As an artist I have never even once felt this way.

I take great pride in every piece of work I pour my time and effort into. Sure, I’ma bit of a narcist like most artists are. I like praise. I want praise. But then again, I think that showing something I’m not satisfied, which is half-baked, not up to my standards (even if it’s just a doodle) I don’t show it to other people. Because the feeling that I’m taking their precious time and attention which we all have too little in this world and simply wasting it is heartwrenching to me.

Wasting time, mine or someone’s, is one of the worst atrocities I could do.

It’s good to be self-concious about your skills and your progress but if you don’t respect your own work, how do you want anyone other than you to respect it? This way you become a troll who simply doesn’t deserve the unwanted praise.

Most of my artist friends post/reblog these kinds of memes and comics and they make me feel like a snob and an unrequited narcissist because I always took pride even in the most shitty picture or drawing I’ve ever made because it was Art. It was the culmination of my feelings and my effort that I put into it. Even when doing comissions, which I’m not inclined to have any personal feelings towards, I still pour them into because someone respected my skill enough to just pay me for them. It’s one of the highest praise I could receive from a person and I would just feel bad if I disrespected them with work that I wouldn’t want to be proud of.

I understand if you’re concious about your level of skill and your art, but if you are, please, just don’t share it and then act like the person in that comic. It’s destructive to you and disrespectful to the viewers. And If you want to share your work, please be sure you are proud of it. There is nothing more wonderful for an artist then seeing joy his work can bring to others. Without your own respect, that joy bounces off a solid wall you build between you and happiness.

“Southern Trip”

Comission for Maud of RLPV, her zebra character taking a stroll through the forest. It was really fun to do and it was quite a challenge but I think I managed to pull the visuals off <3 The Tree trunk and the leaves where the biggest part of the challenge.

Speedpaint:

Sky’s the limit!

Comission for Maud of RLPV. This comission was really fun to work on with all the perspective, even though in the end I am not 100% satisfied with how it came out (I will get the hang of it sooner or later though!).

In case it wasn’t clear, as I didn’t include the balloon chasis, this is a bridge in a zeppelin. I wanted it to look similar to the bridge of Hindenburg, only made in a typical pony fashion, hence the steering wheel.

I’ve done two versions mostly because I created the darker one by accident and I really liked the overall feel of it.

Beholder

Comission for Redlight Ponyville user, Lavender Strider. I really liked doing this one and I love the shading on it.

“The Forbidden Mare”

If you didn’t know, I am a big, big fan of old B and C Class Sci-Fi movies and series like The Forbidden Planet or the original Star Trek. This Mare here is my tribute to the olden Sci-Fi <3

She is also a tertiary character from a series of Movies my character in Crimson Tide becomes a fan of when she sees them in a functional post-apocalyptic cinema.

Wander over to the Alifiera Kingdom! by ElMutanto

A gift I get for our Art-group’s Secret Santa! <3 I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! 

Yay! I did this one! And I am very proud and had much, much fun with doing it <3

Candid Heart - Reference Sheet

A reference sheet for my ponysona. He was supposed to get one a long time ago. Still have problems with making him actually fat.

“Late Night Performance“

Another comission for Damien-Phoenix1 of Deviantart. This time Sweetie Belle performs for an audiance in a more classy 30’s style club with Cocobot in the room, having the best seats on the house. I wanted to make the club look very 30’s and sorta like very early vegas, somewhat seedy, but then comfy and nice. As always, it’s been great fun working on it and It’s been a blast.

As always, Fallout is a great inspiration for everything singing Sweetie Belle related, and this song is what I had in mind for her (although there’s more instruments in the song than just the piano). Plus, the dress now reminds me of Magnolia from The Third Rail XD.

The Art itself is not related to Fallout: Equestria. It just served as an Inspiration for this piece.

“Character Reference sheet”

A comission did for an upcoming project which I’m a part of. Meet Decimus, Blue Shores and Hard Luck. Can’t say much more apart from that it will be a Fallout: Equestria related project and I am very eager and happy to be working on it.

Undertale Sans Sketch

Something quick just for fun.

Rose

One of the most complex comissions I did to date. A concept art of a car, based loosely on the Chevrolet Belair. It was really fun to do, although it took me waaaay more time to finish it than it should have. I gave my best with the paint job and I am proud of myself ^_-

Come Fly with me, Space Cowboy!

+Speedpaint

April Moon is one of my older characters. I made her to experiment and express myself in ways I was too afraid to do. When she outlived her purpose, I found her a new one which made her into a character of a big importance in my story. She is a strong mare with many flaws, but her dynamic personality and drive for acceptance is what makes up for every one of them. She’s the gal who will never settle down and she’s the one who will occupy your mind with everyday things when the bigger picture seems too bright.

“Dancing with the Bullets”

@monere-lluvia‘s Rain Dancer the way she would appear in my own Fallout: Equestria sidestory. I promised her a fanart long time ago and Finally got to do it. Here she holds the rank of a colonel, meaning she is portrayed shortly before the Last Day commenced and the world went to balefire.
