I have absolutely no clue if you still look here, but I was just in awe finding this again. I thought it was gone. It was legitimately 'the' thing that got me to start digital art 8 years ago. It showed me what a process was like digitally, it showed me how to think about going about drawing certain things, it showed me the potential and gave me an insane drive to start digital art. You can quite literally see me trying to imitate this style in my super early art (under different account names, but still) I just have to put that this means WAY more than I could have ever imagined it would back then. I think about this all the time, and it always makes me happy. Just... thank you, honestly. I'll never forget this piece.
blacksheepification1 From my experience, sometimes you can use black or a darker color then just blur it to how you want. I'm still pretty new to the whole thing though, so take what I say with a grain of salt....^^;
The way artists like you can make these things seem effortless always blows my mind. Sometimes it seems easy to get lost in all the excellent quality stuff out there, but seeing it through the phases of creation really brings it all back. Thanks for sharing.
This my friend, is the absolute best thing I have EVER see someone draw! The detail and shading is fanominal, not to mention the expressions and background! THIS IS PURE TALENT!!!
There is a possibility I may have commented again at this video, but I gotta say: This is so awesomely drawn and is also so sad and touching! >w< (Im also shocked to learn Rainbow's NOT Scootaloo's sis:( )
You do not have to be a brother or sister to be a good friend. A friend is some one you can look up to and when your knocked down they will pick you back up and encourage you. That is how I view Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash. Pro 18:24 A man with many friends can still be ruined, but a true friend sticks closer than a brother. (ISV)
When I first saw this, when I first gotten into digital graphics, which was only a little bit over a year ago, I only enjoyed this because I got to see how you drew ponies. But now, being able to draw half as good as you and have been into the show for a while, I now only enjoy it for it's story, the great show of emotion, the realism it has with reality. I'd like to say that you've brought greatness to this. Great job on the quality, the backstory, the relatability, realisticness, everything. It's a 10 out of 10 for ya! Have a good day/night! ;
Wow! This is a simply beautiful painting! You took your time and did a wonderful job on it! Making sure every detail was perfect and creating the perfect scenery was amazing!
Dude This is nice has the emotional feel to it loved the contrast of the rainbow colors in the moonlight it popped out very good piece dude that's good.
ohmigosh, everything is so perfect and sad. I love what you said the story is in the description, it's real emotional. Not just a deadly way, like this, lol, but with many other stories. Like love, or abandonship. Maybe even divorcement. The decisions you make in life effect many other people besides just you. even if you try so hard, you might never reach that person. Then when you do, it may be just too late...
I first watched this speedpaint back in 2012 when I was 12 years old, and you were one of the MLP artists who inspired me to continue drawing. I don't know if you still check the comments, but thank you. I hope you're doing well.
Tablets are touch pads used for digital drawing. Special pens interact with the pad and its really easy to imatate actual drawing on a computer. Thats how the artists are able to make such natural looking lines and strokes. If you have ever tried to actualy draw with a mouse you know why the tablets are so awesome.
the worst possible thing in life is watching someone you love drown and not being able to convince them that they can save themselves by just standing up.... trust me, i know.... im the sister of a suicidal drug addict
i really love this idea !the music,the story,the background,EVERYTHING,im really looking forward to see some other posts of yours because this is what caught me in your channel,keep up the gr8 work KnifeH !💕
You are an amazing artist and I love how you draw your ponies. There are no words to describe just how amazing you are... IT'S JUST SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Woah.. beautiful picture, but just watching you draw it was amazing in itself. I especially liked how you eraised all the balck lines... very nice touch.
absolutely beautiful artwork! I would pay good money to have this on a poster or a T-shirt. you have just found yourself a new fan. keep up the brilliant work and never give in!!
so sad... i have no words to describe how sad this made me feel.... i felt as if i actually was scootaloo in the picture... u did a great job....... better than great.... excellent...
Assuming RD gave up this hopes to being a wonderbolt, this picture is more an illustration of : Even if you can't live for yourself and fight for your dreams, you can live for somebody else. Arrogance and egocentrism are dangerous but if you learn restraint and love the one who is watching you from the backstage (aka Scootaloo), you could live for her dreams and maybe reach your own in a more humble way. Splendid picture, my own interpretation.
I seen your name in PrinceWhateverer's Discord server and was trying to figure out where I seen it before. I spent quite a while trying to remember until I searched you up and seen your work. Fuck dude, I remember watching this around the end of 2012 and being so amazed with your skill. Got really inspired to do digital art and draw more. Watching this is so nostalgic holy shit dude.
Don't feel like that! There's always room for improvement if you think you need it! I understand that you might be jealous, but that never means you should feel like crap. We can't all lower our abilities to make others feel superior. Why would anyone be more experienced when there's no one to go by or compete with? Everyone creates beautiful art, whether it be a advanced as this, or someone who says the can't draw.
I saw this ONE video, and I subbed like that! WOW you are truly a computer artist. As well as in real life I bet! When I try doing that on the computer my turns out to be a blob. It's not as good as yours. You are GIFTED!
Thanks for the criticism (finally!). I prefer to make my pictures without background first, but I've started to implement it more (sketch wise). I don't think I will start drawing the background first before actual drawing the characters, it's just a personal preference but I want to try and make it the other way around. I will probably try :). Thanks a lot! And great stuff you got going there.
Well, watching you do the lineart and coloring is cool, but it would've been even cooler to see you make the initial sketch. Also, the manes themselves and the hair coloring came out GORGEOUSly.
This is so sad but so butiful I love it all the shading and lighting and I can just hear them talking and I feel I was in the pic just Watching they look so real Good job
I think I honestly preferred Rainbow Dash's smile in the original sketch rather than the final sad/worried expression. It just fit better to me. The final product is still amazing, none the less 3
This was amazing it also made me realize something if I was scootaloo and my sister rainbow was falling even though I couldn't fly I would still try to catch her because I love her this was a very good job so giving a like
I remember watching this when I was young.I thought this was all about ponies, but now I know it is the aspect of life. Amazing drawing~

Just... thank you, honestly. I'll never forget this piece.
I've read and I appreciate this a lot. Sorry for the long response. Just glad I could help and I hope your art is going well!
I cracked up when the song went "Some people call me a chicken"
Ahh.. I remember watching this back in 2013...
I just want to say this is amazing. :)
This is one of the deepest pictures I've ever seen. You're so good
You guys think about "ponies" all the time. This is more of the aspect of life.
mother
freakin'
p0niez!!1
*twitching intensifies*
when you are doiing the shading. do you just use a darker shade of the colour you are shading or is there a specific tool you use to do it.
Good Job KnifeH ;)
Yea
blacksheepification1 From my experience, sometimes you can use black or a darker color then just blur it to how you want. I'm still pretty new to the whole thing though, so take what I say with a grain of salt....^^;
That was beautiful, that was an excellent speed paint you got there. I cried when I saw the ending.
this.. this is beautiful....
BunnyluvcarrotsAj In its own way, yes :)
The way artists like you can make these things seem effortless always blows my mind. Sometimes it seems easy to get lost in all the excellent quality stuff out there, but seeing it through the phases of creation really brings it all back.

This my friend, is the absolute best thing I have EVER see someone draw! The detail and shading is fanominal, not to mention the expressions and background! THIS IS PURE TALENT!!!
Holy crap! I wish I could draw like that. Well...I can on paper. But I want to do it on a PC. Sadly, I only have a touchpad; extremely difficult.
+Elijah Miller Just need to invest in to a tablet. It's about 80 bucks or so, depending on the country you're in.
I think I'm getting one for Christmas. I won't have to suffer anymore :D
Omg I feel you, I can draw DECENT on the computer but I can never get a shape right. I do much better on paper. 🦄
Elijah Miller on PC its so hard but on my tablet i can draw pretty good but yeah
There is a possibility I may have commented again at this video, but I gotta say:
This is so awesomely drawn and is also so sad and touching! >w< (Im also shocked to learn Rainbow's NOT Scootaloo's sis:( )

***** -claps- Beautiful.

Basically Simon and Kamina in Gurren Lagann
Rainbow Dash doesn't know how to use her wings? Maybe is broken XD
The final image looked like a picture! The drawing is amazing and those are the best drawn eye's I have seen so far! Keep up the Magnificent work!
I watched this speedpaint first when i was around 9 I think. Now i am 21 it really is so crazy how time passes. And this gives me so much nostalgia
Hay que bonito
Scootalo fue para salvar a rainbow dash aunque no puede volar :'D
why is rainbow dash smiling? i mean, she's falling to her doom
+Jade Rodriquez you obviuosly didnt watch til da end
Maybe cause he is proud of scoot for saving her...
+Jade Rodriquez she can fly for ponysake :P
+Banana Splitt but if you saw the second speedpaint, she dies and doesnt fly
+Jade Rodriquez testing scootaloo to catch rainbowdash without herself flying, and scootaloo failed to do so.
Keep coming back to this video. Still easily one of my favourite works in the fandom.
I love the little falling stars in the background. To me it represents Dash falling and Scootaloo diving to catch. Nifty.
Keep up the good work!
You are a true artist, you deserve all of my subs, I love how you put the determination in Scootalos eyes and Dashie's eyes, you make true art.

i legitimately started to cry thinking on how this would play out, plus just this is just an amazing picture
Wow! This is a simply beautiful painting! You took your time and did a wonderful job on it! Making sure every detail was perfect and creating the perfect scenery was amazing!

Then when you do, it may be just too late...
it's absolutely beautiful, you are a wonderful artist. I almost heard dash whisper "c'mon, scoot, fly... open your wings..."
Dude, that shading was just brilliant... of course the rest of that picture left me breathless, but I figured thats a given :)
Out of all the MLP speedpaints I've seen your the best person who does RainbowDash's mane and tail XD
I first watched this speedpaint back in 2012 when I was 12 years old, and you were one of the MLP artists who inspired me to continue drawing. I don't know if you still check the comments, but thank you. I hope you're doing well.

So cool. Love how the music really help set the mood.
I love watching speed paints. It helps myself think of think of ideas.
I love the detail that i d put into this. Don't ever change it!
I love the fact that you said it was a personal picture,for us bronies,ponies are our muse.i feel u man.
EVERYTHING IS SO FREIKEN DETAILED IT'S AWESOME!
I always come for the music but by the end just the skill you have is jawdroping
the worst possible thing in life is watching someone you love drown and not being able to convince them that they can save themselves by just standing up.... trust me, i know.... im the sister of a suicidal drug addict
This was always an inspiration to my artwork, it helped me learn shading and pushed me to draw like that!
When I read the description I cried a little bit because it goes perfectly with the picture btw amazingly prefect excellent job
Omg i watched this When i was 8.. THE NOSTALGIAAA OMG!! This is still so beautiful.. Boi..
All I have to say is that is very impressive and the picture is absolutely amazing! Great job!
I really like the shading and lighting in this artwork. Great job!
This is one of my all time Favorite artwork featuring Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash.
i really love this idea !the music,the story,the background,EVERYTHING,im really looking forward to see some other posts of yours because this is what caught me in your channel,keep up the gr8 work KnifeH !💕

You are an amazing artist and I love how you draw your ponies. There are no words to describe just how amazing you are... IT'S JUST SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Woah.. beautiful picture, but just watching you draw it was amazing in itself. I especially liked how you eraised all the balck lines... very nice touch.
The shading just brings it 2 life

I remember when this first came out! I loved it so much I put it as my old desktop background 😂
so sad... i have no words to describe how sad this made me feel.... i felt as if i actually was scootaloo in the picture... u did a great job....... better than great.... excellent...

It's beautiful!!! ( as a tear runs down my cheek... )
I love how you made it so real looking!
OMG! So beautiful i love this so much. It's a work of art!
AWESOME! those eyes are so detailed!
this is just breathtaking
Don't feel like that! There's always room for improvement if you think you need it! I understand that you might be jealous, but that never means you should feel like crap.

Thx for da tips and inspiration, bro. Keep up da good works! Also, luv the musics!
I saw this ONE video, and I subbed like that! WOW you are truly a computer artist. As well as in real life I bet! When I try doing that on the computer my turns out to be a blob. It's not as good as yours. You are GIFTED!
I very much enjoyed watching this! You are a true artist!
What u said in the description is how I feel sometimes. Awesome job on this art! :)
I love it so much, i'm going to slap that like button for this painting.
So relaxing ....dude you have so much talent and I don't say that to just anybody.:)
Great job KnifeH this was an awsome speed draw :)
very amazing job, makes me want to try and start over on drawing and photoshop again.
I am in love with that drawing style o_o
Answer, no. But RD is like Scootaloo's big sister. Great artwork btw and i love watching it come to life.
Who Skiped To The End?? Also Great Job!!! :D FREKIN AWESOME
Thanks :)
wow this is really good. you did a great job. so detailed!!!
That's so beautiful. I would give anything to be as half as good as you.
Thanks for the criticism (finally!). I prefer to make my pictures without background first, but I've started to implement it more (sketch wise). I don't think I will start drawing the background first before actual drawing the characters, it's just a personal preference but I want to try and make it the other way around.

This is just, wow I can't explain this in words. (Text) More please!
Amazing I'm Truely Crying over this Work of Aret!!
I think I honestly preferred Rainbow Dash's smile in the original sketch rather than the final sad/worried expression. It just fit better to me. The final product is still amazing, none the less 3
i love this video, when i see it i cry a lot!! you're the best
Don't get me wrong, you are an amazing artist. It just made me so sad. And back at you *hugs*
Wow! That is AMAZING!!! I love it!
Speed paint ever, also the idea was very oringinal, liked, subbed :D
Oh my gosh the memories... I should get back into mlp art...
You should I think mlp Art is rather creative it gives you a little more flexibility then other things I draw.
You have inspired me. Thank you. You should have all the views and likes in the world.
even as a non-brony i enjoy your artwork, now that's impressive XD
This is just SOOO AWSOME
Holy crap
That's AMZING
This was amazing it also made me realize something if I was scootaloo and my sister rainbow was falling even though I couldn't fly I would still try to catch her because I love her this was a very good job so giving a like
Five words: you are AWESOME AT DRAWING
