I'll go first: tjpones!
>>42627675Ai
>>42627675>pony """artists"""Yikes
I can already tell this thread is gonna go great
>>42627675jack is pretty greati like what he makes
>>42627675askchubbydiamond
>>42627675
>>42627675I really like scenery pony art, and only few people make them nowadays. Here's Koviry.
>>42627790And she even draws her stuff from real places
>>42627675Vomitvomiting is a treat
>>42627801>aie cuck>not ptfg chadname checks out
>>42627675I met tjpones at marefare. He for some reason crashed in our hotel room. I woke up in the middle of the night just seeing him in the cuck chair watching me. He didn't say anything. Just pulled out a binder of printed off pictures of mares. He just kept tapping the pictures with a pointer, then flipping to another picture. He then abruptly stood up and walked out.

>tfw all my fav artists are into anthro shit nowadays
I really don't know artist names and plus i like a LOT of stylesmade a collage of my favorite artists bottom right is my nigga Scandianon, styles gotten even better as time went on love his stuff
I like Cold Blooded Twilight. The guy's a machine, streaming thrice a week. I just left one of his streams. I'm biased though, because I commission him frequently. Here's something on the cuter side he made for me a few months ago. T72B is another great artist, and similarly prolific though not nearly as much, but a lot of people including me aren't into futa. His work is still good, however. He doesn't take commissions, but I was able to trade with him earlier in the year.>>42627880That Rarity is gorgeous.
hoihoinewfags pls go
I can't remember if it is tjpones or jargon scott who I dislike. One of them is an asshole braggart and showoff.
>>42627675Graphene and SirMasterDufel. I don't think I have any 'small' enough pictures for this low test board.
MarboI wish he'd come back from getting cigarettes and milk
>>42627880>/bale/shit
>>42628057Pussy
>>42628099>ponyshit
>>42627675One of my fav is ShadowReindeer, his style is very unique, is like you easily love any drawing he created. And besides, is one of very few artists that haven't crossed the nsfw line.
For me, it’s gotta be Tamers12345. He single handed ly revived the fandom
>>42628193>shadowreindeer
>>42628197Based. This is the only good post itt
>>42628193>the nsfw line.What's with anons treating artists like they're chaste maidens now? Give me a break.
>>42628222trips of >>>/trash/
>>42628226>he can't enjoy cute safe art if the artist drew one sinful picture on a separate accountBack to EquestriaDaily with you.
>>42628222You'd really think the zoomer neopuritans would stay away from the horsefucking board to begin with, but no such luck.
>>42628247Conservative censorship terror knows now bounds.
>>42627675Aerozero.
>>42627675I would maybe say bobdude0 because he draws so many Swibbles that are so cute and adorable and snugglebug. Not sure because he rarely grounds his characters in scenarios with sceneries - his art is basically Redbubble sticker bait. I love landscape art, but their artist's names are not iconic for me that I could really name an artist; maybe have to pay more attention to that.
>>42628197this.
>not a single good artist postedyawn
>>42628882This guy looks like he yawned.
>>42627675Myself. Whenever I want ponies I just draw them. Whenever I want clop I just draw it
>>42627880raritys is vondsketch, great artist, you can find some of his drawing over at RGRE and the wild manes thread but hes been MIA
>"What's your favourite pony artist?!!">"erm... ehhh..">"Come on, TELL ME!">"WHO IS IT??">"p-please stop asking me this...">"TELLMETELLMETELLMETELLMETELLME!">"P-p-hsthluhh..">"Yeeeeees...?">"IT'S PESTIL!"
>>42628193Does he know?
Look at me, I'm saving the thread.
I like Crade though I wish he'd post more SFW for when I don't want to fiddle fillies
>>42627688same, he makes qt ponies
>>42627675Really unpopular opinion. I like violent mlp media it’s how it made me get into the franchise and well made art and animations too. This board may not agree but Misterdavie made all cartoons violent from the late 2000s and early 2010s and he made not just mlp art but art for all cartoons. I haven’t seen anyone match the level of quality for violent mlp art.
I really like Kamagi. My favorite new artist, he only started posting stuff this year.
Polnocnykot also does some very cute art in the current day, even if he is very into G5.
>>42628197Not a fan of his recent works, but he definitely got talent & a godly work ethic.
>>42629108Sir, you got a call from Epstein island.
>>42628222Everything needs moderation. If an artist goes too deep into the pron, it affects their skill and creativity. Cold-blooded-twilight is an example of artist with cumbrain (though, he recently got better).
>>42630885CBTwi just sucks in general
Dimfann doesn't draw much pony anymore but his artstyle's still great.
SEfastpone has one of the most funny and beautiful ponies, especially with stallions.
>>42627675Hierozaki and RSVD
>>42628903who are you?
I like Nips.=>Tier list let's go
>>42630885If an artist never does porn, it affects their skill and creativity. Stagnation.>>42630921This. His style was always experimental moe-blobbery. Coombrain art is a puritan meme. There are tons of non-porn artists that exaggerate features, look ugly, and get worse over time.
I liked Silfoe's art, shame that he just vanished.
>>42631789Fucking meant for >>42630885
>>42630878Is it an invitation??
Rhorse, no question
>>42631975do they even still draw stuff?
>>42631978I don’t think so, unfortunately. I’ve yet to find someone who scratches that itch for me like her Romantic style does.
>your favorite artistsMe. i am my favorite artist.
scraggleman, jargon, and lockheart. Anybody that draws neets basically, especially Dot.
>>42631460A man who loves himself and his drawings a bit too much. I like to post on 4chan, procrastinate, fantasize, eat tasty food, jerk off, play ps2 games, annoy people, and help others when I feel like it. I'd be quite satisfied if I could reach a point in life where I can walk into a store and buy what I want without having to worry about money. My waifu is Trixie. Sometimes I imagine us cooking pancakes in the kitchen. It'd be nice to meet her in the flesh. I've tried tulpamancy before, but I lacked the determination to prevail. Perhaps I should revisit it.What about you anon? Who are you really?
>>42632068Given the thread theme I should probably clarify I didn't draw that Trixie image. If you want some of my art, then I'll have for you in two or three
>>42632074Post it
>>42632098Post what?
>>42627675Thinking of remaking this template, but without the 200+ filler artists cluttering the tiers, only problem is that I don't know by what measure I'd consider an artist "relevant" enough to make it in the new version.https://tiermaker.com/create/my-little-pony-fandom-artists-tier-list-16091425-2
>>42632149Your art dumbass
>>42632176I'd say choose an arbitrarily large number of faves on Derpibooru and filter out artists based on whether they have a piece of art that's reached that level of popularity.
>>42632182That makes sense! Give me something involving Trixie, and I'll draw it.
>>42632191Trixie flying a kite with her best friend poochie :)
>>42632193It'll be ready in two or three
after a decade and a half of pony art, have there been any noticiable trends that may define different "eras" in pony art?
>>42630929Cute!
>>42632476Early clop was more with hvop, and when it was horse pussy it was smaller and with a smaller ponut. Today artists emulate welost's ridiculous proportions.
>>42632476This may be rose tinted by only remembering the art I liked, but I consider 2011-13 pony art to be far more heavily show inspired, often with a dash of anime. Examples include Megasweet, JohnJoseco, UC77, furseiseki, Slugbox (very anime), and No-ink. Show style art dipped as the show wore on and artists put value in having unique styles.Other trends:>Zoophilia (as early as 2012)Emphasis on horsiness, including mannerisms and detailed musculature, over cartoony marshmellows. Zoofags study horsecock, phase out hvop, and ponuts slowly grow overtime. Anthro is shit talked and Eqg kills off humanization, widening divides.>Tumblr (2013ish)Sjws and the lgbtq focus on diversity and deviate off model as much as possible, because ugliness is beauty. They live on as the Twitter side of the fandom. Askblogs encourage tons of artist collaboration and alternate universe style characters. Grimdark's hayday.>m-era (as the show was ending to modern day)Mares, mares, mares. Schizos start drawing ponies that never had art before. Zoofags dig in harder than ever before.>G5Not a huge impact since g5 was a flop and artists tend to draw g5s in the cuter g4 style anyway, but some artists adopt right side up hearts on the bottoms of hooves for g4 characters.
>>42632176>Fillyfiles and tranners S tier
>>42632740hvop was always shit and awkward looking on marshmallow pones.
>>42632176>ja0822ck>D tierI could go on and on about how shit these rankings are, but I'll keep it at that
>>42632858The art-style simply does not resonate with me. Also this list is kinda old, looking at his stuff now I'd bump him up to C.
>>42632856>marshmellows don't look good with jet puffed pussy
>>42632858He has tamers in S. His shit taste is terminal.
>>42632176>a lot of pretty good artists stuck in D-tier>Tamers in S-tier
>>42632988Putting Raveneesimo, an OG storyboard artist with nearly show accurate art, as low as D is pure bait. Don't dwell on it.
Haters gonna hate but DarkDoomer is A-tier.
>>42633144Not a fan of his lewds, but I love how he draws Silver Spoon. Especially when he pairs her with technology, both serious and shitpost.
>>42627675I Like quite a lot of artists and styles. not even gonna pretend my list isn't based purely on my personal preference and how much I enjoy their shit. C is neutral space with shit leaning towards F being more negative and shit towards S being more positive. artists near the bottom are there just because I either don't like their style, their content, or both
>>42627821Well??? Did you learn anything???Anyway my favorite artist I think is the one that draws rainbow a lot and it kinda looks like crayon or watercolor but I have no idea who they are or where to find the art so it's just a nice surprise when it pops up
>>42633144Would also mention Pabbley and Thebatfanf but yes Doomer's a solid A. He's the second B&thro artist I'd save from the purge.
>>42633256...with Holivi.
>>42627880Rarity looks like one of those characters with a pretty feminine face but has a giga beefed up bod.
On more objective measures (total output quantity, monetary income, popularity, cultural influence) Tamers is undisputedably S tierBut these are not the metrics OP is asking for
>>42633523>quantityQuality over such.>monetaryGreedy merchant's metric. No artistic value.>popularitySplit.>cultural influenceFarts and hiding behind extreme irony are negative cultural influences.
Tell me qualities you look for in a pone artist so I can better incorporate it into my art.
>>42633564cute mares
>>42633564I like artists that mostly draw official characters with the occasional OC and tend to draw art that's a little silly but mostly cute.
>>42633564I like it when pony artists stay out of drama and aren't annoying twats
>>42633564Show accurate anatomy, or at the most a VERY SUBTLE interpretation of it.If you want to make EQG Fluttershy just a little bit more curvy because it's a bit more realistic then it's whatever, the show anatomy never stays exactly the same either. But if you bolt two watermelons on her and make her look retarded then just fucking kys.These ponies are LITTLE and very petite, they absolutely would not have massive knockers or bimbo tier curves. What they do have are big beautiful eyes, nice curvy backs and nicely proportioned legs. Basically their entire aesthetic is a mix of specific ratios, leg to body length, eyes to head size, hair/tail to overall size, etc.Don't be a faggot and fuck it all up.
>>42627675>favethis fandom's too full of talent for a single favehttps://youtu.be/_ZQLu483IA4
>>42633731>EQG Stopped reading here. Only a fool would take your wrong opinion seriously.
Worst Tuba. Best Susaphone.
>>42633731>EQGKept reading there. You are 100% right about pony size, but not about their invisible tits, and ironically super fucking wrong about eqg. There there are no realistic bodies allowed in eqg because it's a little girls show, so every girl walking around as AA cups is retarded.
>>42633731>Pone artist>"Let me tell you about EQG..."
>>42633564Mainly a proper work with color. Also, I really like moody/melancholic pony art, I wish there were more.
>>42632879Marshmallow show-accurate proportions with anatomically correct horsepussy and normal-sized ponut is the epitome of clop.No response needed, I am correct.
>>42633564Effort, and research in shape, composition, colors and style.>>42633687>X has wrong political opinionsYou don't care about pony art or artists then. Most if not every artist who inspired me have opposite viewpoints.
>>42632289days?
>>42633731the show style sucks. they're all the same shape. be glad artists draw them different.
>>42634421The fact that you think "staying out of drama" means "he disagrees with me on politics" tells me everything I need to know about you.
>>42634447nta but shit take, the show style is just simple and that simplicity doesn't mean it's shit. If the show style was truly so shit I doubt anyone would actually watch the show. I don't know about you but I don't watch shows with styles I think are hot dogshit regardless of writing quality, I'm sure most people wouldn't either. show accurate anatomy is not synonymous with the shows style either, you can have show like proportions and anatomy without directly copying the shows style. some of the most popular artists in the fandom I can think of right off the top of my head do that exact thing that being shinodage and batfang, honorable mention to quotepony and nording.
>>42627675I don't know, probably CHADfang among the currently active.
>>42634417Ok, guess I'll go jerk it to anthro now.>>42634447Nigga thinks Pinkie is built like Mrs. Cake, Applejack is built like Big Mac, and Rainbow Dash is an inch taller than Scootaloo.
