Wew ! I changed so long ago, that wasn’t expected huhu
The reason I switched is not that complicated. What I like the most about pony art is to see how people come up with gestures, moves or item use that are obviously impossible in the first place but still make it believable, I mainly think about Ickle or Baron-Engle, but there are many more :p
However, multiple things went in the way as I progressed.
- As a new artist I didn’t want to be restrained to ponies and with anthros I could study basic anatomy while working on my project.
- HANDS and face are the most expressive features in a character gesture to me, as I said some artists nail it with ponies but, probably because of my Warcraft influence, hands were always something I missed in my work.
- Final part is how I went more and more distant from the show’s scenario ideas over time, lowering my interest in the cartoon but not in the fandom, leading to me creating my own version of the world and timeline (Dark age, Trinity War, events from G1, the “Known World”, etc…)
