What are your favorite art styles for ponies?
If you can note the artist or provide links to the artist that would be dandy.
I'm trying to develop an art style that is attractive and charming.
I would like to get your perspectives on the do's and don'ts of art styles. Speaking of don'ts feel free to also post styles that you dislike or aspects that you mislike to see in pony art and why.

(Pertaining to the image this style is neat though it isn't all to my liking.)

The more floof the better. Not too much floof, but keep it floofy.

I really like the styles of AnonTheAnon and HotDiggedyDemon, which are both very goofy and cartoonish. HotDiggedyDemon's style especially reminds me of Ren and Stimpy. But if you're not interested in making comedic content, that sort of style might not work for you.

I like art that remains true to the show but with some added depth, shading and features. Ponies should be somewhat anatomically correct but not too much so, as skinny legs push them into the uncanny valley.

I also don't like floof unless if it's to signify a messy coat. Floof indicates that pony hair is longer than is show-accurate. It also reminds me of furry artists who use it liberally.

It's hard to pin down but I'd go with any art style that resembles the classical arts.

Majority of my favorite horse-artists are fucking faggots.
Has helped my decline of interest in the show in general.

I personally enjoy Shinodage's art. I'm a pleb who can't into art critique, though, so the only thing I can really offer is that I think his style is freakin' adorable without straying too far from the show's original style.

I don't really like floof, either. It's usually messy looking and does not look like it belongs on a pony. The furry ear shit is also bad imo.

AnonTheAnons art style is rooted purely in the west, he took the shows style (which is very geometric) and made it reminiscent of the style we might have seen in the golden era of western animation. while not the most sexy style I do think he did a very good job at that?
HotDiggedyDemon style is also very western, he does a lot of caricature for comedic effect, again not the most sexy of styles I'm looking for something more along the lines of aesthetically pleasing, yet simple enough for a relative n00b.
Did you grow up watching a lot of Saturday cartoon, looney tunes, tom & jerry, the flintstones etc.?
>Ren and Stimpy
Did you watch that show as a kid, if so you'll find this interesting.

>I like art that remains true to the show
Actually I set out to diverge from the show for several reasons. firstly, there is an immense sum of artwork done in the shows style, I don't think we need more, wouldn't you like something fresh?
In the second place It make me feel like a copycat.
In the third place, I think that the shows style only allow for so many expression, how about you?
>It's hard to pin down but I'd go with any art style that resembles the classical arts.
Classical arts? As in the golden age of western animation, cartoon/comic arts, anything before the ~1960s, or do you mean medieval art?

I don't have a issue with MSpaint, that's where most memes happen.
>anything that isn't tumblresque
I know dumblr artists have a particular visage to their art but is there not diversity among them (there is a tumblr dedicated to Aryanne)? What constitutes a tumbl(e)r-tastic style? are these tumpleresque? that middle one isn't to shabby, that was the safest drawing that I found, all of his other works are naughty. (why is it that most of the "decent" artists draw porn?)

The guy draws with the precision of a machine.
I have several complaints though most of them pertain to stylistic choice so I'll withhold those. I prefer my ponies plump.

This guy is probably my favorite pony artist. Name is Kawaii Pony or some variant of that. I found his art at a convention. I've seen people try to draw poners in an anime style before and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. This is probably the best execution of that idea that I've seen.

ahah. No you misunderstand. Why would one waist their time on such a matter? And besides my "?'s" intention was to determine how it was done, not that I don't know how. It was rather a statement about the pertaining.
>The dots were not drawn
I'm not even sure if drawing is the proper term for art creation via a computers. Wouldn't digitizing be a more apt word?
