Anima-Dos - Humanized Rainbow Dash

Here’s a humanized version of Rainbow Dash that was drawn by Anima-Dos.

When I started to color this picture, the first question that came to my mind was whether to keep the lineart black or color it in the same style as the show. So I decided to do two versions of this. The first version will be similar in its style to the show where it’s basically flat colors and colored outline. The second version will be where I color it and shade it in my own style.

Just like the other picture that I’ve done of Rainbow Dash in her humanized form, one of the harder parts of this picture was coloring her hair. When I started I had forgotten the technique that I used but then it came back to me when I set about the first color. It was a case of locking the layer, using the pen tool for the curves and then coloring it in with the next color.

The background though, is all my own. I simply looked through screen caps from the show and did some of my own variations on it. And here you have it.

Rainbow Dash’s Transformation

This picture came out of a notion that I’ve had after seeing various fan arts from the series “My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic”. In those fan arts I had seen some of the characters been humanized. Such as in this picture done by JohnJoseco

However, it occurred to me, “Why hasn’t anyone done a picture that shows the transformation from pony to human?”

Even my friend DarkDP had said that no one else had done anything like this. Which I found rather surprising.

Anyway, for a while I thought about giving this idea to one of the artists that I commission. I even had the idea of giving it to LionheartCartoon or Spiritto and have them animate it. Which would be a nice thing to see. Unfortunately, it would be expensive as hell. So after talking about this with my friend Cl0ckh3art I was convinced that I should draw it myself.

It took roughly a week to finish it.

The part that was tricky was imitating the lineart style of the show which required me to use the pen tool. I still think that tool is evil. But eventually I was able to do it.

The part that I’m most proud of are the transition pictures that you see in the bottom left corner where you see that transition from Rainbow Dash’s light blue tone to the more human-like tone. All done with the opacity setting in Photoshop layers.

And now I must give credit where it is justly do.

The background that you see in these pictures was not done by me but rather it was done by The-smiling-pony.

And the Cutie Marks for both Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash were done by blackgryph0n

Hope you all like it.
