Firefrie's Website: Firefrie's Fiery Autumn

Why should you be a Panelist?
Um...Here comes the difficult part :) lol I think I would be qualified as a panelist for these reasons:

1. I'm a final year student in animation and followed several years of art school outside my normal education.
2. I've got experience with several media and I think I could add some valuable insight and ideas to the voting process :)
3. Also I've got a lot of experience with MLP art, seeing I've made several commissions this year. (eep, I hope I'm not sounding pompous or anything... :)
4. And also because several people emailed and told me I should apply for the panel, since they think I would be a good panelist :) Ok :) That would be it :)

"Baby Glory"

I made this watercolour for Pikabubba, who's gonna have it tattoed later this fall. I'm really proud of this picture, and I think to this day it's one of the better watercolours I've done. It's my desktop image:)lol I just think the pose and the shading went really well, and it showed me I'm still learning and slowly making progress.

"Mom and Baby Gusty"

This is one of several "real horse" MLP paintings I made for Binkyboots:) It's my favourite one of the set.:) I didn't give them their characteristic red hair streak to make them look more like real horses:) I like this one very much, because of the expression in Baby Gusty's face:) I like the fact that they look kind of realistic but Baby Gusty tones it down and makes them look more like a cartoon again:) Also the hair and shading worked out really well. This is why I love painting white ponies:) <

"Sprinkles"

A painted scene of Sprinkles and Duck Soup at the Waterfall

"Winter Snow"

A painting of the G3 pony Winter Snow.

"Cool Breeze"

This was an experiment:) I tried painting with pre-watered down very high pigmented paint called Ecoline in Dutch. The paints starting colouring each other and it really looked nice in the end. I'm also fond of the pose and hair of Cool Breeze in this pic:) It makes her look very lively and about to take off for flight:)

"Mother and Baby scene"

This is my first pony scene ever:) I made it for BabyPrincessNicole and it was quite a challenge.:) It was a challenge because normally I just paint a pony on a white background, mostly because I mess up backgrounds:) I took inspiration from some UK MLP puzzles and I really like the way it turned out:)I must admit I was pretty proud and ended up annoying everyone by going: "Look!Look!See, What I made!":)

"Dancing Butterflies"

My first MLP painting ever:) I still love this one to bits. It was on my old Homepage and desktop for ages. I don't know why but there's something about her I really love. The original pic is a lot lighter but the scan gave her this darker look that made her hair looks especially nice.

"Peachblossom"

A CG drawing of Peachblossom

"Baby Salty"

My first steps into the Anime style:) I still have to make the entire set, but I think they look really cute with oversized hats:)

"Mom and Baby Moondancer"
