ORIGINAL ARTIST: Frederick-Art
I need to emphasize that this is not my drawing. I merely edited it. Go give Frederick a watch and check out his amazing artistic output on Twitter (SFW/NSFW).
High-res versions of the pics available here and here.
As my followers on deviantART probably now, starting from last
summer I was put in a situation where I'm not able to work on my art
nearly as much as I'd like to, and working through my remaining
commission orders has been a bit of a hassle for a wide variety of
reasons. However, my life has recently seen a bit of an upswing on a
personal front and I feel more energized – and when that is the case, I
tend to get a bit more productive than usual. A couple of months ago,
when I was getting closer and closer to wrapping up a stripper-themed commission featuring Paulina and Star, I stumbled
across Frederick's drawing of Tex Avery's Red Hot Riding Hood, done in
the style of DC Superhero Girls. Being that I'm a big fan of
Lauren Faust's art style and I also dabbled a bit within the miniature
horse show fan community (though I never went too far... I think), I was very much pleased with what I saw! The gratuituous ass shot also helped.
I
rarely do edits of other artists' works as I'm generally not fond of
others editing my own works and I don't want to come off as a hypocrite.
However, with this one... I couldn't resist. I've been itching
to draw a Red Hot picture probably close to eight years now but for one
reason or another, something's always been holding me back, be it time
or my own lack of skills to pull of the perfect picture of her.
Also,
I really wanted to see how the pic would look like as a smart phone
wallpaper, although I figured it was probably a better idea to also do a covered-up version of her. You know, just to be on the safe side.
After that,
things sort of got out of hand and I ended up turning the whole thing
into a digital painting or airbrushed piece of sorts. I guess? I'm not
entirely sure of the terminology. Incredibly enough, this didn't have
too big of an effect on my commission output and eventually, I even
found myself having a bit of free time while I was waiting for replies
from the commissioner regarding any last minute changes which then
allowed me to not only tweak the Red pic to weed out any potential
mistakes, but also finish a partially-inked Kick Buttowski piece from 2011. Sometimes, life is good.
In the end, however, the biggest thanks will obviously go to Frederick-Art
not only for coming up with and drawing the original picture but also
for graciously giving me permission to release the edit(s) for you all
to see. Enjoy!
