Gotta Go Faster


Astalakio

Part three. I'm a lot happier with this one than with Rarity, who wasn't as good as Applejack, and started to bug me after a while. After I've done all six, there's a good chance I'll go back and re-do Rarity's. I think the problem was that, after Applejack, I was making a conscious effort to try and top it, and got too stuck in character designing and taking the utmost care with background details. With this one, I just did what I do best - sketched a cartoon. Keeping it simple is the way to go, kids.

A lot of the time when people draw humanised Rainbow Dash, she's wearing, like, these skimpy denim shorts. While not unpleasant to look upon, I really don't see Rainbow Dash wearing something like that in a million years. She's a tomboy, right? So she should dress like a boy. To that end, I dressed her in clothes that... well... they're kind of like what I wear, actually O.o

"She's a tomboy, right? So she should dress like a boy."

Yes, and to the extent, that people, when they first watch the show, wonder if she IS a boy. This is Rainbow Dash.

Okay, so you're totally topping Lyra in the Rain. This series is FANTASTIC, and I daresay, as a connoisseur of humanized ponies, this is the best bunch, hands down.

THeres one more pony that people always get wrong in humanizations: Twilight. We shall see, we shall see.

Gosh, no pressure there then :lol:, well, Twilight is my favourite pony, and is actually going to be last in the series, so I really hope I can do right by us both :P

Wow, this looks like it should be, like, in a cartoon or something!

Oh wait...

In all seriousness, she actually looks like she could be from an episode of the Powerpuff Girls or something. Good work man!

This is like something out of Shonen Jump, heh.

That's good enough for me! :)

I actually get that reference a lot - the weird thing is, I've never watched the Powerpuff Girls *shrug* Any Lauren Faust inspiration is all from FiM. I can, however, point to the likes of Butch Hartman and Bryan Lee O'Malley for other inspirations which have had an impact on my style.

The title reminds me of the Sonic X (English version) intro theme song.

That's where it's from :P

'I remembered the theme song for the TV show 'Sonic X', which I haven't watched in years, and never watched religiously, but it was a cool theme and it seemed to fit the picture' - from my deviantART.
