Description Sometimes, I'll take a moment to break my usual uber saturated colorful style and really pull it back.

Or in this case, do the complete polar opposite.

Actually, this was more of a series of new brushes I created tonight, and while testing them out, this image started to appear. This was just supposed to be a warm-up exercise to get my hands movin' and my fingers responding proper, but...well...it was getting this really neat vibe going. So I figured I'd go all the way with the theme of the video game Limbo, and ponify that gaming classic.

Because.

Oh, right, and because BroNYcon.

It's not very often I'll upload images that took me less than an hour to create (in this case, not even ten minutes). But I think it'll be cool to also be able to show off a sampling of my more raw freeform painting style where I just start with a blank canvas and work from there.

I also haven't uploaded a canon pony in about a year. It's odd to me that as endearing as the show is, I just never really took a lot of time to create the amount of fanart I was hoping to. Confound this necessity to make money working on other things.

This would make the game so much easier...teleport across the lake, telekinetically trigger the traps...

For some reason Limbo goes very well together with ponies. But then again, almost everything goes together with ponies. ^^

Compositionally, the shows are very similar with flat background elements staged in a very storybook layout with little perspective. Suffice to say, the styles of both shows, while completely different in color palette and mood, are almost identical in their layouts.

True, true. You've got a very good point there.

Probably, I'll see if my schedule opens up around the weekend so I can make one with the CMC's hunting "The Creature" they make out of blankets and a basket in Stare Master.

Woohoo! I think a funny one would be fluttershy since she would be scared....or spike...........god only knows what pinkie would be doing though.

Limbo seems to be the newest target of art. Light and shadow has alwase been a good topic for many artsy people.

Holy shit this is awesome. You ever see an idea you kick yourself for not thinking of first? I loved this game. Great style and a lot of fun.

Ten minutes? I don't know whether to admire you or hate you.

Now you've done and put the image of Twilight Sparkle running from, and eventually pulling apart a giant Scary-As-All-Hell Spider.

That spider...gah.

Oh yeah, and Twilight Sparkle with brain worms. I hope you are proud of yourself.

In all seriousness, you nailed the Limbo vibe. I'm digging it.

Twilight with brain worms would do well to explain the events of Lesson Zero.

And giant scary-as-hell spiders are canon thanks to the pursuit of Nightmare Night entertainment by our favorite Princess of the Night.

I think Season 3 might get unusually dark, unusually fast...

Great. Now I can't watch Luna's episode without thinking of Limbo spiders. It is a dizzying sensation of love for Luna and terror at Limbo spiders.
