Are WIPs Allowed?

[FlowerBouquetStan]

I have a tendency to abandon art and I'm wondering if posting a WIP of something I started will motivate me to actually complete it. Is it alright to post WIP Pony art here?

I haven't finished her hair and am not quite happy with her face yet, but I wanted to take a crack at drawing a seapony! This is my first try drawing one, and I might end up scrapping the hair and starting over, but I'm not sure yet, I might just finish it out this way and do the hair differently the next time I draw a seapony.

You actually inspired me to give her green hair like seaweed, thank you so much for your comment!

Ohh, I love the idea of aquatic horses having seaweed-like manes. You did a good job.

In nature, seadragons, a relative of seahorses, have appendages that look like kelp fronds, especially the leafy sea dragon, for the sake of camouflage, so while it was initially accidental, a complete matter of being an unskilled artist, leaning into it yielded a pretty cool result that coincidentally happens to pay homage to another member of the Syngnathidae family! (Syngnathidae is a family of fish including seahorses, pipefishs, and seadragons.)

To answer your question, yes WIP pieces are absolutely allowed.

Your little sea pony is very cute.
