Cover art to my in-progress fetish fanfic Daring Do and the Curse of Avarice. You can read the story over on Fimfiction.
The cover art depicts a scene from Chapter Three where Daring encounters the second trap of many she'll fall into while trying to retrieve the artifact of the story, the Medallion of the Carta Portis. Originally, she wasn't depicted in the art and her flattening was only implied by her hat, but I realized it wouldn't be hard adding a bit of muzzle and hoof poking out to turn it into actual full-blown fetish art.
This is the first actual flattening fetish art I've ever drawn and I like how it turned out. It's also the first time I've opened a vector art program in a decade. I'd forgotten how much I like doing vector art, even if it does take a lot longer than simply collaging a bunch of other stuff together. I'm hoping to draw some more scenes from the story, but we'll see. Anatomy's going to be the big roadblock in that regard. The white space at the bottom is intentional and is there for the chapter titles. I made sure not to make the same mistake I did with Fight Club's cover art.
On the technical side, the art was drawn in Inkscape and took about ten hours, total. It was drawn using a mouse and keyboard. Color references for Daring's body and the pith hat were taken from mlpvector.club.
