Thanks, people like big diapers so that's what we get!

Maybe it's the angle, but the head looks just a bit big.

But it's really good, your art style is almost unmatched, It's like you painted this!

Yeah, it isn't called digital painting for nothing! :P

You know what I mean :P

Could get away with a little on the excuse of perspective but I will agree, the head could use a little shrinking.

Thanks for the complement. They take a while but totally worth it.

D'AWWWWWWWWWWWW This is so awesome! Absolutely adorable. Yeah, the background could use some work, but who's looking at the background when there's a cute Derpy in a super fluffy diaper? :)

Ahaha, that reminds me of a picture where the artist put a few arrows around the drawing explaining his choices in making parts so bad. The big red arrow at the bottom pointed to the diaper and said "Who are we kidding this is all you guys are looking at anyway".

Nice :D

Aside from what Mariobros said, HHHHHHNNNNNNNNGG! <3 So coot~

I read that as so scoot. THANKS!

Woo! Changing up the perspectives!

Nice perspective and pose!

It looks almost like watercolor. Instead of acrylic-esque style in some of your earlier pics.

The earlier pictures were a experimentation into painterly style. I have decided I hate everything about doing that and went back to my happier soft shading.

Thank you for the complement.

this picture is very well done, and what is above i say as well

Thank you kindly!

your welcome, and she is very cute

I think this came out rather cute and fun. It certainly shows that you put a lot of effort into Derpy and getting her positioning right on that branch. Her shading is also pretty good, too.

As for the background, it's not bad. Though, I could see it being a minor thought after all the work you probably put into just Derpy.

Overall, you did a fine job of giving a realistic look to Derpy while keeping the tooniness with the background. :) Definitely a fine pic to fav indeed. :)

It was quite fun figuring out how to position her. I went through a fair number of thumbnail drawings till I had that one. I used a pencil and my hand as a dummy for it.

I think I should go ahead and do a study on backgrounds just so I stop coping out on them.

Backgrounds are typically not as important as the subject you are drawing. As such, to keep arts fun, have you thought of borrowing backgrounds from, say, screen caps in the show? Or, perhaps, since you are drawing more realistic art here, you could get some cool nature pics that can serve as BGs for your works? :)

From those I have talked with, a BG can take actually longer than the actual character(s) drawn. As such, there's nothing wrong with borrowing BGs so you can do what you like without the big sigh of having to spend hours on making the perfect BG for what you've done. Heck, you could even make edits to the borrowed BG to create exactly what you want for the scene. This could help if you wish to eventually make your own backgrounds less bothersome when you get better / faster at doing them. Never want to take the fun out of a work. Nope, nope, nope!

My largest issue with using a premade picture or someone else's work is that it will likely clash with mine throwing the entire picture off. Where mine has linear brush stokes and surges there's may have circles and hard . The focus of the picture may be lost in the process.

Thank you for the idea none the less. I should start using images of backgrounds as references and going from there.

I totally agree!
