    Well, at least you're vaguely open to it and give explanations for your reasoning. But I stand by my decision with the lack of underwear. Some 'Guy' (or girl I'll have you know) will possibly, at some point, have thought about it upon seeing this image. But including underwear would insinuate in itself that there was something there. Leaving it out and keeping the area blank should be enough evidence that I didn't wish the image to be thought of in any carnal way and that there's actually no genitalia, because it's cartoon-like just as the characters in MLP, who don't have explicit areas either.

    Well, as I said, I love the pristine appearance of dolls and especially adore the beguiling, captivating eyes that they have. So thank you!

    I kine of have a secret love for Anthro myself. I think it's adorable and much easier for me to get into drawing. You can add your own uniqueness to it when choosing a different style from the original.

    Give me a couple of days.

    Yes, you made that clear, and of course I respected it. I was just elaborating just in case, that's all. ^-^

    You know what, I'm not intellectual enough in this field to know the difference. Ponies with Human parts, whatever they're called, are great.

    Hehe, "Humanised" is literally, the full human conversion... for Twilight it would be a lady with purple hair and two streaks in the middle. Still human coloured skin, no ears, no hooves.

    Anthromorphic includes the pony features, ears... hooves... tail. This is what you have done.

    I think the only idea behind them is to make them more "familiar" to our own form, more recognizable, I don't think it's an attempt to deface or degrade the original design at all.

    I like yours.I just wish they had hands.(The feet can stay hooves)

    If you could do that it would be nice.Its optional though.

    Oh and incase you havent started yet i want Sparky to be wearing a jacket with the hood up and a crazy grin.

    Idunno, I personally don't see what's appealing in humanised/anthomorphic ponies. It's like with Hatoful Boyfriend fanart; some people insist on drawing them as human bishies, while I prefer to see them as pidgeons.
    Some fanart of that sort is tasteful (This, for instance, is playful and innocent, and soooo very purty!), and a lot of cosplays are creative and fun to look at. I can't quite say I'm offended by it. If I feel there are any erotic vibes, I look away, as with all the creepy R34 images the community has spawned.

    I can't help but laugh at the ones that feel strongly about which races the ponies are. They're ponies, dangit! Fanon and canon is not the same thing XD

    Thank you for clearing that up for me. I don't know half of the terminology for these types of things as I consider them all to be primarily similar~ ^-^ You'd think being on the internet for as long as I have that I'd know this information, but alas, my desire to eradicate labels means I'm just naiive to the different types of art genre. I thought humanOID was different from Humanised though. :I

    Eh, as long as you're patient I'm sure you'll be pleased with the result. I will need to ask for patience though, I'm looking for employment most days and I don't necessarily wish to start a free request when I'm occupied with personal matters.
    I'll get it done nonetheless.

    Haha, yes I agree with you entirely. I tend to fixate on tasteful, cute images in relation to MLP, regardless of whether they're humanised, Anthro or even drawn as bunnies, baby dragons, birds, etc. XD I do the same with R34 images though. I can stomach subtle varieties of more adult images. (Like teen schoolgirl dressed Ponies) that doesn't have any graphic sexual content. I can't say that I handle any type of pron especially well. Not that I disagree with it, but I just prefer to keep my browser and my computer files clean asides from a few pretty Alternative Models for insipration. :I

    People get far too offended by even the slightest alterations to the original pony form. I don't think its logical to instinctively despise anything Pony related that is Anthro/Humanised just because they'd assume it decreases the natural innocence of the characters. I think that's a silly notion, if I'm perfectly honest.

    Yea, I don't care for anthros. You can go either full human or full pony, no combos

    Iv'e always wanted to see my OC made into an Anthro/Human. Though, I already see that you are making Sparky one and I don't want to bother or burden you. I just want to know if you would be willing to do mine any time soon. If not, then don't worry about it. Like i said I beat myself up if i burden some one.

    Eh, It's just my preference to experiment with different styles. I can find one or the other to be a little bit boring myself.

    As soon as I finish greyOne and Sparky's Pony OC's, I'll let you know that I'm avail;able for requests. Just in case, would you like to post a description/image of your OC so that I may work from it? :)

    Oh, and I'll also like for you to do one of mine after you've all wrapped up the others. Either one from my avatar would be nice

    Sure thing, as long as you can be patient. ^-^ I'm hoping to get greyOne and Sparky's requests done tonight, and after that I can take on yours and Drath's no problem~!

    I kind of like anthro's and humanized - it's a nice change of pace. I can understand people not liking them, with fears of stumbling across R34 or something - but that rarely happens to me. And usually you do get warned. Anyways, I like your anthro. And I have no problem with no pants - Donald Duck doesn't have pants, after all. It's kind of a matter of what works for you, I think. Turning my OC anthropomorphic would be interesting, although I'd have to think if he'd wear cloths or not, and if so, what kind.

    Any ways, it's all strictly a matter of preference, no right or wrong here. If you enjoy it, go ahead. If not, avert thine eyes!

    Oh, and Sinderlocke - I like your sig, too. Most excellent work!

    'Hunies' lol. Never heard that term used since everyone just refers to them as anthros.

    The artwork is simply another creative avenue. There's nothing wrong with it, and I don't consider it fetishistic in nature. However, my personal taste of humanized and anthropomorphic artwork is pretty picky on the details or consistency.

    Here is one of my absolute (only) favorite humanizations of any of the characters.

    Here's one of the few pictures I like the mixes hands and hooves. I very rarely like pieces that feature both, as opposed to one or the other.
