ATG S6 Week 7 - Mixing Styles

Description

This is my belated submission for :iconmlp-atg-alumni:'s Week 256 theme, A Pony Potion / A Pony Mixing.

So here we have Starlight Glimmer, in the role of Snowfall Frost, mixing an alchemical brew that has summoned several ghostly visages. Said visages are currently engaged in a musical number, taking turns singing alongside Snowfall. And what are they singing about, you might ask? Well... I don't actually know. I never really put much thought into the potential story here.

At any rate, you've probably already noticed that these six spirits are not drawn in a single style, but instead in six separate styles. In the interest of pushing forward my own style refinement, particularly in the three-quarters view, I've spent some time trying to emulate the styles of several other artists. I'll need to do some more pictures before I can tell if I truly learned anything from this, but I do feel I did a reasonable job of emulating each of the styles I had chosen. And the artists behind these styles are as follows:

Upper left corner: MisterMech - Example
Behind Starlight Glimmer's head: KP-ShadowSquirrelExample
Lower left: Baron-EngelExample
Upper right: Valkyrie-GirlExample
Middle right: MadHotaruExample
Lower right: CaptainPudgeMuffinExample
And of course, Starlight Glimmer herself is done in the show's style. which basically means fyre-flye's style.

As a side note, while deciding who to emulate for this picture, I made a list of people whose styles I wanted to make an attempt at. This list ended up containing twelve names, so I may do a second picture of this nature in the future.

Weekly Art Challenge progress: 28 (out of 47). This has been delayed longer than I had thought.
