Smiles2Us (Pony, No Mess, MLP, F)

[Roul]

Hello guys, as I mentioned in the Artwork General Discussion topic, I found a very old post regarding a comic idea of Smiles2Us's pony sneezing.  I was searching this forum if anyone has ever drawn a comic of the idea, but I never found any, so I thought I'd take a stab at it .  So, along with a few artist notes, I'd love to share with you my comic of Smiles2Us sneezing.

Artist's Notes: Design
With permission from @Smiles2us , she was awesome to provide me with reference images to assist me in drawing her, as well as confirming a custom eye color.  There were two versions of Smiles I noticed:

• One depicting her with blonde mane and tail, along with a ribbon on the back of her head.
• A more common depiction of her with a red colored mane and tail.

I couldn't decide on which one to draw, so I gave her the best of both worlds and combined both of those styles together, resulting in a mane with a color scheme similar to Sunset Shimmer and Fire Flare. 

Artist's Notes: No Mess!
Although I usually draw my sneezy comics with comically absurd amounts of mess, I wanted to dedicate this special comic to non-mess lovers as well and thus decided not to draw messy sneezes.  Smiles2Us remains squeaky clean throughout the entire miniature story (except for a few tears of allergies and embarrassment ).

Comic and Individual Pages
I drew my Smiles2Us miniature story as an extended comic.  Here are the pages, as well as the thumbnails.  Hope you enjoy

This was pretty nice! You're awesome at drawing nostril flares, and I loved how the petal got stuck in Smiles2Us’s nostril, though my only complaints are that I wish it went a teeny bit deeper into that lovely little cavern, and that I didn't actually get a good shot of the nostril. It's admittedly my favorite way a sneeze happens, something going inside a nostril, especially if I can get a nice view of the nostril hole as the irritant is trekking in there. And my favorite part of a sneeze, in case it wasn't obvious from my earlier compliment in this paragraph, has to be the nostril flare. The bigger the better, but not grossly exaggerated like in Pony Life.

THIS IS SO GREAT!  I just.... This finally came true and it's so lovely!  Clean, no mess, it's beautiful!  I love the creative liberties you took too, and the MASSIVE bow! lol!  Love it.  Smart idea with the hair color too!  Awesome work!  The nostril flares are beautiful too!

Also...

AHHH!  Is this not the funniest and cutest thing ever?!  Look at how embarrassed Smiles is!  Haha! I absolutely love this!  I love how flustered she gets and oh my gosh!!! I love how much you teased her nose with those pesky flower petals!  It was beautiful! What a fantastic comic you've made here, and honestly, the sneezes are beautiful! The way her nostrils flare and her sneezes build up before leading to an awesome sneezing fit is great.  The banter of 'us' in the computer are perfect! It sounds just like how we would react.   Lol!  I so love this.  Awesome job, @Kmlp! 

[RainySunshine]

I will also add that you treating her character with respect and not 'destroying' her with snot and making her . . . destroyed after the sneezing fit, is very nice.   The sneeze spray is very nice.  Her embarrassment to all of this seems to give me strength!  Lol! 

[timmelon]

Great! You made a massive comic with a lot of events and details... and very stretchy nostrils .
I can easily name this your best artwork so far.

2022-2023 is the PSF artist era of Kmlp! Lol! I cannot even tell you how happy this made me. It brings me so much joy to see a beloved friend and member like Smiles drawn!  You captured her character perfectly and I liked your take on her made and eyes.  Those eyes are soooooo detailed. Her sneezes are so cute and adorable and really, everything about this is cute and adorable.  This is exactly how I picture Smiles reacting to anyone even noticing her sneezing.  She doesn't like to be seen sick, sneezy, or anything.  So this is like comic gold! So good!

Oh and the pre-sneeze faces.  How can I not talk about those?  They are so great.  The sneezes too and the nostrils! I love how the sneeze urge attacks her, she stops it, then it comes back even though she thought she vanquished it! Everything about this is great and just brings me so much joy! 

I give this 5 out of 5 sneezes!

If you could see the mix of embarrassment, joy, and sheer shock on my face, I think you'd be confused.   Lol!  I'm embarrassed because this involves me and it acts like me!  I am joy struck because, well, it's awesome and it's about me. I am in shock because it is SO AWESOME and it's just like something I would do AND it's about me!  Lol!  Where do I begin with this?

I love it.  I absolutely love it. 

The attention to detail, my awesome windowed office, my new styling touches unique to each artist, I just love seeing this kind of stuff.  The amount of sneezy torture my poor little snoot went through to have such a fit, AND to have it all accidentally recorded!  Hahaha, I must say, that is such a funny concept and idea!  I laughed because this is so silly, over the top, and just a lot of fun.  I love the nostrils, my expressions, and how you spelled the sneezes!  It's so lovely!  I'm just gonna cherish this comic forever in my little collection of Smiles stuff!

I wish I could just hug you or give you a hand shake or something!! It's so great!  I don't know how else to say it without just repeating what I've already said!  I love this so much and you did such an amazing job!  Thank you so much for finding that comment by Silverwing so long and ago and doing all the research you did to make such an incredible comic!

I love it!!!  Thank you!

What a great jump in quality with this comic too!  I have to point this out, all the details in this.  Look at the backgrounds and extra set pieces around this comic.  Also what a great location Smiles' office seems to be in.  A nice grassy field!  

The progression of this comic is really well done and people with a sneeze kink will certainly love this.  But this will have a special place in the hearts of PSF members, especially those close to the community!  I think you did your homework and even took liberties on her design.  That's a good thing as each artist will interpret things differently.  I like seeing what artists will do with the same basic details of a character.

As Rainy said, I think you treated her character with respect, but had a ton of fun and actually made a funny comic out of it.  Funny and it included sneezes! Great job on this comic, Kmlp!

[Anyponedrawn]

Looks like you have an instant success here, Kmlp!

[Roul]

Thank you guys.  It rly means a lot that you enjoyed this comic  .

===========================================================================================
@Crimson Crest I'm glad you enjoyed the comic despite the nostril flares not being too in-depth.  And ikr?  I thought it was pretty funny to include the second flower petal getting lodged in Smile's nose.

===========================================================================================

@RainySunshine yooo you also remember that old post from @Silverwing too?  I'm glad you do and I'm rly happy that you enjoy this comic too, as well as my design for Smiles .  And LOL yeah I admit was lowkey tempted to "destroy" Smiles, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it.

===========================================================================================

@Soda I admit, while I was drawing this I got very cute vibes, and normally I don't usually feel that with my own drawings.  But yeeee, Smiles is very embarrassed and I agree it's very cute   And oooh yes: the dialogue from her laptop is reflective of how we would respond to her sneeze.  And I'm glad you enjoyed the whole fiasco with her and the flower petals.

===========================================================================================

Thanks @timmelon !  I agree: this is prob my best comic so far, as well as the only one I've attempted to make a mini story for.

@Anyponedrawn  Aaaaay I'm glad you enjoyed this as well.  Glad you love my take on her design, as well as her character.  And yeee: based on my research on this character, this is the best I could come up with when placing her in a scenario where she sneezes in public lmao.  Glad you love it .  Poor Smiles: couldn't stop her own sneeze.

Five out of five sneezes?  BRO LESGO!!!

(Instant success?  I'm not sure what that means in this context, but success is gud so LESGO )

Not gonna lie @Smiles2us I didn't expect you to see this on the same day I posted it LOL.  I'm really happy to hear that you enjoyed this comic, and that I was able to accurately depict your character as well, even if it was embarrassing .  I'm happy that you were able to get a good laugh out of this as well, especially the part where you accidentally recorded your entire fit .

Aren't there emojis for both a hug and a handshake?  Yooo there are emojis for handshakes and hugs.  In that case, have both🤝🤝🤝🤝🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗  It really means a lot that you enjoyed this comic, and it's hard for me to say via text how happy I am to hear that you enjoyed the little details of it.  Have fun adding this to your collection of Smiles stuff: you have five pages of Smiles content; they are especially dedicated to you

Thanks too @MasterXtreme .  I think the background definitely fits as well.  And yeee I had a LOT of homework and fun drawing and writing this comic.  Glad you enjoyed her design as well

@Crimson Crest I'm glad you enjoyed the comic despite the nostril flares not being too in-depth.  And ikr?  I thought it was pretty funny to include the second flower petal getting lodged in Smile's nose.

Oh, it wasn't a problem for me that the nostril flares weren't too in-depth. I just meant that I didn't care for how the petal was obstructing my view of the nostril's interior. As I said, I like it best when I can see into the nostril while the thing teasing it is inside (well, unless the object is big enough that it's kinda just supposed to fully obstruct the view, like a finger or some other long, broad object, in which case I'm fine with seeing where it enters the nostril, if that makes any sense).

...Actually, that kind of sounds confusing. How about I give an example: there used to be this artist on FurAffinity that made a work called "Mouse Doctor's Next Patient", and the bottom right panel of the comic had a first person view from the mouse's POV in which it was using a Q–Tip to tickle a sneeze out of a horse's nostrils. That way, I could see into the nostril from outside while the Q–tip was in there as well. If any of you've seen that comic, then you know what I'm talking about. Does that clarify what I said very much?

[Roul]

Oooh yee.  I get what you mean now. 

I've never seen that artist or that piece, but I understand the picture clearer now by having an object stuck and still being able to view the inside.

[Crimson Crest]

Oooh yee.  I get what you mean now. 

I've never seen that artist or that piece, but I understand the picture clearer now by having an object stuck and still being able to view the inside.

Sorry if you wanna check it out, but apparently the artist removed their account, since I get a system error when I click on links to their page.

So I’m just noticing this and holy wow this is amazing. I love the new mane style Smiles horse has. Very cute and very business-ey of her! As for this whole sequence itself, this is pretty much what I imagine a real meeting between Darrin and Smiles would be like. Almost down to the word, it’s eerie on a few levels. What else can I say but, well done and keep on being awesome!
