Epic Fail
I decided to do this exercise because I love expressions and it is good to practise character consistency. I’m not completely happy with all of them so I’ll probably redraw a few. I might possible ink/color them later… I’m not sure at the moment.
Please do leave me your feedback and constructive critism – I love to hear it and it is very useful.
This Sunday sketch is of Yoru, the half-demon boy, as a My Little Pony. With it I complete the task of drawing all Epic Fail’s characters as Ponys. I drew him as a Pegasus because he’s different from all the other characters, and I hadn’t done one yet! He doesn’t have a Cutie Mark yet because he is too young and has not yet discovered his destiny.
Look out for Mondays update where I’ll post a picture of all the Ponyized characters together.
This Sunday Sketch is of Tinuvielle as a My Little Pony. She is a Unicorn because she is a magic-user. Her Cutie Mark is the Celtic symbol for female power, or to put it in more modern terms: Girl Power!
This Sunday Sketch is of Clodin as a My Little Pony. Clodin is a Dwarf so I decided to make him a shetland pony – and a shaggy one at that so I could get his beard in without it looking too weird. He actually turned out pretty cute. His Cutie Mark is a rather obvious one, it’s a clod (or sod) or earth.
I notice that the male ponys (bronys) where there show up in the cartoon (pretty rarely) are less stylistically rigid than the females.
This Sunday Sketch is Dirk as a My Little Pony! Are you sensing a pattern yet? I’ve used the color of his (new) armor as the colour of his coat, and his Cutie mark is three ginko leaves, a Samurai symbol for loyalty. They look pretty.

This weeks Sunday Sketch is Amuletts as a My Little Pony, ‘Friendship is Magic’ style. She’s supposed to be looking a bit devious (don’t know if I pulled that off).
She’s a Unicorn for the simple reason she can cast spells, so characters who are spell casters will have horns and those that aren’t won’t. Her Cutie Mark is a Flame because her special talent is playing with fire, lol. (And she’s a Cleric of Loki).
I’m jumping on the Pony-wagon and drawing some My Little Pony, Friendship is Magic fanart. So here’s Martin as a Pony, or should I say Brony as he’s a boy? His Cutie Mark is an upside down horse-shoe because Martin’s special ability is being unlucky. Fortunately he’s unlucky for the bad guys too.
A page from my sketchbook. I am practising drawing sword-fighting by copying freeze-frames from combat videos. When we get some actual fighting in Epic Fail I want it to look right. Don’t be suprised if you see some of these poses used in the comic.
Oh! And for those who want to pre-order Epic Fail #1 today is your last chance, after that they are closed.
Now I’m sure you’re all too diplomatic to say so, but inking isn’t one of my strong points. There’s only one way to tackle that, though, isn’t there? Practise! So this is a fully inked drawing using several different types of line. Yeah, I went for something insubstantial just to make it easy on myself!
