106 layers and six and a half hours of live streaming later...
So I literally woke up yesterday with this idea, started drawing it as soon as I got up, and spent all day doing it. It was going pretty quickly and smoothly but then I ended up going way overboard with all the shading, lighting and stuff. I'm kinda glad I did though cus I'm really happy with how it all turned out. Too bad it's only going to appeal to a certain audience XD
So you're all probably wandering... "Who is this pony? She's quite clearly an alicorn! I haven't seen her before. is she an OC?" Well, I don't really want to call her an OC of mine because I'm afraid people will hate me for it XD I know how much people look down on Alicorn OCs. but basically she is my character from ,b]Starbound with pony mods.[/b] and it is so wonderful to play XD Especially since all the other races are still in the game and make hilarious passing comments about you being a pony. "Is friendship really magic?" "You probably shouldn't go to our stables..." haha
Oh, you are all most definitely wandering "Um... what the f***k is that that's eating her?" Well, my lovely watchers. I'm not sure how many of you know I have a fantasy world that I'm kinda lazily working on called Kyrinos. but one time I was imagining it from more of a sci-fi standpoint and I ended up making other planets in its solar system. one such planet... or maybe a moon, hm... was called Cartus and everything on the planet wants to EAT YOU. the creatures, the plants, even the ground itself! and that's where this thing comes in. In this vore planet of everything trying to swallow you whole, plants either fluctuating leaves of mesmerizing colours or releasing mind-numbing pollen or creatures lapping you up with a giant tongue... one such more subtle creature is this. I don't have a name for it yet so I'm just going to nickname it the "Sinkhole". it's basically an organism that grows under ground with a bulbous mouth up on the surface, usually hidden just under soft soil. When an unsuspecting creature steps on it, it latches up around their leg and starts to suck them in with powerful muscles. it takes them a few meters under the surface where its main stomach is, using the density of the ground to help imprison its prey. Oh and it usually grows in clusters, so if you almost step on one, look around and you might find you've accidentally gotten yourself trapped in a sort of minefield. a vore minefield XD
So yeah here we have my Starbound character Starlight Flare exploring on a particularly inhospitable planet. Lightyears away from Equestria and unable to beam up to her ship in orbit, she's a little trapped. But don't worry! I'm sure she'll find a way out! Ponies are very resourceful after all.
Somehow I felt more happy with the second panel before I added all the shading. even though I also really really loved how the shading came out on that panel and really enjoyed it? X3 i think the last one takes the cake though. I haven't used textures like that in a long time. I really need to practice with it more because I think it turned out very nicely. Speaking of taking the cake... on to my next picture.
