Description:
The Cutie and the Grump, all festive!
*A gift art for :iconlupiarts: LupiArts featuring her unicorn pony OC hugging her BF's earth pony OC, Snoops. He might be a grump, but he definitely has a heart of gold.
Originally planned to be gifted on a day of Christmas (preferably on Christmas Eve) before going public, I couldn't post on schedule due to real life, thus I had to slightly delay the gift for Christmas Day (25th).
This is a redraw of a piece I did about 2 years ago, back when I bought Clip Studio Paint, and I decided to do it to see if my art style has improved. Other than being just a redraw with improved expressions, I applied complex shading and lighting for that one, and I think it come out okay. Sadly I couldn't fit Snoops's thought bubble of him enjoying it inside like in the original one but at least you can think he's liking it from the inside ^
I also decided to alter the original drawing by making a festive version of it. You may think it's basically including Santa's hats and reindeer's antlers and sometimes altering hair, but these elements required extra work, as while I applied shading and lighting to the original drawing, so I had to do it on them as well. In the end, I'm happy how it turned out ^
I hope you'll enjoy the work *
