• Artist Spotlight: Rariedash / Labba94 / smartMeggie


    Welcome art fans to another edition of the Artist Spotlight! We're proud once again to present to you a small range of artists today that show some amazing talent in a variety of different fields, whether it be digital, comic, or traditional!

    As usual, these posts are in similar style to the Tumblr Spotlights, a group of 3-4 artists will be spotlit each entry along with a small short description along with a small selection of their artwork! In order to make this feature work though we need people to suggest artists to us so make sure to send artists you think need some exposure to calpain@equestriadaily.com. Please also include a short biography I can work with as well as what medium you work in most.

    What sort of artists count? Suggestions should follow these criteria:
    • No clop or extensive gore galleries as those typically violate our content guidelines. If the artist has a safe for work gallery separate from their not safe for work stuff they or their fans can submit the safe for work gallery. If there is a mix of SFW/NSFW on a gallery the decision whether or not to include them will be judged on a gallery to gallery basis.
    • Don't be afraid to spotlight yourself as well as others!
    • Artists of all types accepted -vector, OC, traditional, digital. As long as it is pony and of quality it has a chance of being spotlit. 
    Now on to the artists!


    Rariedash

    The things one can do with digital artwork is simply boundless and amazing with the right talent and creative thinking. Rariedash demonstrates this wonderfully with a clean and crisp vector style that makes their ponies stand out from the rest! Check out some of their examples below and then give their gallery a look for more.

    Labba94

    It's always lovely to see people in the fandom express themselves in a variety of ways. Whether it is art, music, crafts, or what have you they all add to the diversity we see in the fandom each and every day. Comic makers add to that great diversity by both showing off great artwork as well as their storytelling chops, giving not only a certain artistic style to the MLP characters, but unique personalities as well through their comics! Labba94 does just that with their own unique take on the characters through their comics and artwork, styling the ponies with larger than usual eyes for expressions and thick lines to give every pic a feeling as if it came straight out of a comic book.

    smartMeggie

    As many of you already know, I am a big fan of traditional artwork. The look is something that can't quite be replicated in digital form and it has a charm that no other form of medium seems to have. smartMeggie demonstrates this charm in spades through her beautiful watercolor ponies, drawn in pencil and colored beautifully with careful strokes. She seems to make quite a few OC drawings for people so why not get yours done in beautiful watercolor today? She'd appreciate the patronage!
