Well, looks like I'll be having more free time than usual, so might as well move this here too.
 
The life of an Equestrian Shipyard is a busy one.
 
Day in and day out orders flow in from the Great Fleets, detailing ships to be built, refits to be made.
 
But occasionally, just occasionally, the orders stop.
No work to be done, no ships to be made just for a brief moment.
 
Enough time for a few experiments, maybe?

Overview
 
Just a simple art request thread for me to improve my skills, really. Send me a reference picture, and I'll use it when I next attempt experimental/sketch drawings (generally once or twice a week).
Generally I would use my own OCs for this messy and sometimes fatal task of learning how to draw new poses, but why not give them a break for once?
 
Be warned, though. I cannot guarantee a stable quality as these will effectively be practice sketches, dealing with poses I may not be familiar with...
Expect something along the lines of the pictures above, mostly tending towards the left. Full shading is rare on sketch drawings!
 
Instructions
 
1. Be clear on your reference picture. At the bare minimum, at least a mane and tail style as well as gender. Be creative with these, I like a good challenge!
 
2. Feel free to send me a pose reference along with your OC reference if you want me to try to draw your OC in said pose. 
I can function without a pose reference, but it'll be up to whatever catches my fancy to doodle your OC in then...
 
3. I may not be able to draw your request, or my schedule could become messy again (The life of an Equestrian Shipyard IS a busy one), 
so keep that in mind when asking...
 
4. Type something out in white somewhere on your post if you'd like to request something. Just a small precaution.
 
Again, your OC's sketch quality cannot be guaranteed! I'll try my best, but I have no idea how it may turn out...

She is a pain in the rear to draw so you don't have to, but if you want to you can draw my oc Dark Rose / Night Rose (the name is still a WIP)

I'll get around to doing yours in a bit, Savi, R9's OC just happened to fit the pose I was messing with more

 

Once again, sketches are sketches, I cannot guarantee normal quality!

For once, the shipyards are silent.

 

Word has come from the Command Fleet; there will be no more orders.

 

For the first time in twelve years, the Yards are free to do as they wish.

 

Some will go on to newer fields, some will simply vanish or stop completely.

 

Some...

 

Some will simply be sanctuary.

Apologies for the generic pose, sadly none of the sketches I did today passed my quality-checking, and so were disqualified from being used as public drawings.

 

I will still be finishing these, practice sketches are still practice sketches and the Yard will move on, so request away and I'll add them to the queue until the forums go as well. I personally don't mind if they never get picked up, practice still is practice.

 

Fly far.

Surprisingly I had less issue with the feathers than anything else. Not too happy with the eyes, my own style doesn't blend well with light irises, but it'll do for a sketch.

 

Next on the list is Niabi, great drawing by the way, and it's more than enough for me to use :P

Hello YM! I would be happy if you would do this for me!

http://mlpcreationis...-Rose-600132164
((Ignore the gem, please))

Her name's Sapphire, her front hooves have that bottom hoof thing just like her back hooves, and can you have her mane up in the back, just a simple ponytail

Other than that, you can choose the pose
Thanksies!

((YES, THE PHOTO WAS QUICKLY AND LAZILY MADE IN MSPAINT))
