How The Whole Making Manga Thing Is Going

My girlfriend Ivy just made her first finished piece! I started teaching her to draw a few months ago from nothing and now we’re here, I’m so proud of her!

Fun Facts About Jira, my world building project #2

Jira can largely be classified as a Science Fantasy world but because of the scale of the Jira project it's more accurate to categorize the different eras of Jira into different genres. For now they are as follows:

Prehistory - Speculative Biology

Surface era - Medieval Fantasy

Dispace era - Underground Fantasy

Early Island era - Fantasy

Era of science - Steampunk

Modern Era - Modern Contemporary

Cyber era - Scifi 

Post Cyber era - Eco Scifi

Forgive the watermark this is from my old deviant art.

This was one of my first pieces of digital art. It was made in ms paint and drawn with a mouse. I had been drawing ponies traditionally for a few years at this point. This was the first piece where Mare's design really stuck. this was their cannon design for quite a while. However I recently completely redesigned them.

Forgive the watermark this is from my old deviant art.

I was a huge Ink Potts fan. Their Count of Monte Cristo animatics in particular were very inspiring to me. The pony to the left is Mare my ponysona and to the right is my ex's character. I drew our ponysonas a lot.

I still love this one honestly I've always been very proud of it. I've been thinking of redrawing it with Mare's updated design and my new partners pony.

Another Bill this time with clay. I never baked this one so he is lost to time but at least I have a picture. IRL he was very small don't think I could have even moved him off the table. His arms were toothpick thin and even if baked probably would have broken off. I love his little flame though.

Hi, I'm Cypher. I've been drawing for over a decade now and built up a lot of random art. I decided to raid my old collection and start posting it.

These are not the oldest pieces I have but they were some of the first MLP fan art I drew. In fact Fluttershy in the upper left hand corner was my first attempt at drawing a pony.

This is what I typically consider the first art I ever made. Everything before this was just a creative outlet and mindless scribbling. This was the first time I was aware I was trying to make art.

Fun Facts About Jira, my world building project #1

Jira is home to many intelligent species other than humans.

to date there are

Silfs - human like creatures with horns and fluffy hair who are always some variant of red & blue

Avians - Bird people

Ramlans - mountain species with tough hairs like wool and horns

Iora - stationary mushroom people

Ghosts - beings made of Artificial Magic

Merpeople - an overall term for a variety of sea born intelligent life

Crystalites - beings of sentient crystal

Halfling Crystalites - corpses controlled by parasitic sentient crystals, unrelated to the crystals of the Crystalites despite the name

Grotton - ape-like creatures who originate from the darkest parts of the Ridge

Hybrids - half animal people the result of wild magic sickness

Shifters - animals who can shift into a semi-human form

Many of these species overlap with humans due to the the grip human traits have on Jiran evolution and the fact that many species are evolved forms of humans for particular environments

I call him Axetrap lol, this was so much fun to draw.

Some art I remember very well. This one... well, I remember my little brother asking me to make a Cruella De Vil pony... and then I did.
