Gift for Derpy by OracleofGelu

For an off-site friend. :)

Traced with alterations from sketchbook.
Been doing a lot of traditional, but coloring is always better digital.

Traditional art has more novelty value, whereas digital (usually) has more quality.

Though with the advent of AI generated graphics, hand-drawn digital is becoming the novelty, and traditional becomes the arcane.

Great work on this by the way. : ) I think your artistic skill level has reached the plateau where everything has just clicked neatly into place.

Well said.
If only more people recognized how much artistic talent they have. Many I've met think that just because they don't have digital art means they aren't yet great artists.

Thank you so much!
I certanly am proud of my dragon skills. (Unfortunately, the dragon tends to leak into everything lol)
I still seek ways to improve, though, or even alternate ways to draw that have equal merit.
