Ponies take practice. You should have seen my first ever attempt. Brr.

And you don't know the costumes from Show Stoppers yet, but I agree!

And that's fine; there is nothing wrong with having your own style as long as its 1)Good anatomy and 2)instantly recognizable who we are looking atYou have done both.

You flatter me, sir!

Sometimes I think inking things down can take away the gestural quality of sketches, and this one has gesture in spades.

I completely agree. About the inking detracting from gestural quality thing, that is. I don't know how many times I've done a sketch and just been afraid to ink it incase I spoiled it somehow XD

Gentlecolts. Twilight's "WHY WOULD YOU POST THAT?" face.

It's definitely inspired by the female version of the 'Are You Serious' face. I tried to link to a picture in the description for a comparison but it 404'd me when I tested it

LOL! Now that you mention it, I can totally imagine that huge invisible windshield!

QuickLime: Thank you

Davroth: Well I'm trying to get as show-accurate as possible at the moment, so I'll keep pushing. Thanks!

Coyotez: You might be right, I have a background of drawing in manga, and anatomical inaccuracies like that probably show through in my cartoons.

Xiee: Well, that's debatable, but at the moment, she definitely has the best episodes XD

Ginger Mint: Yeahhhh... or I just goofed up

SkyMuni: Thankin' ya

Its stylized slightly different than from the show but I think it looks just fine for her.

Don't worry, I'll get it eventually

AND YES!!! MAKE IT INTO A WALLPAPER PLZ!!!

It already is one, if you PM me your email address I can send it to you, if you like?

Very kind of you, thanks

I just realised that I also left out that break that's at the top of her mane too. Sigh. I pencilled it and everything -_-

You impress as always Personally not so sure about the ship itself, but the art is spot on. I also really like the background, I say leave it

Thanks! Usually I'm kind of lazy with backgrounds, but I tried pretty hard with this one

I didn't really think about it. I just draw eyes too big and things get cluttered XD

Though actually I think that line in the centre of the face isn't actually her nose, just the crease you see when you get those frontal views of the ponies, and the nose actually ends where it joins to the face on the right. So they eye isn't overlapping a line, it's just between two lines.

Or something.

I don't know. >.>

Yay! I was waiting for you to finish this one! Predictably fantastic work!

It is a cool mane, and I like the ear thingies too.

Really good job with this, I like it a lot =D

Looks really neat as pixel art!

Well, Brian's work looks really neat anyway...

But it looks super-neat

I bet pixel art takes ages, I don't know how you'd have the patience...

Then again, I guess it takes a while to pencil, ink and colour a picture anyway.

Fantastic work! Simple awesome

She keeps that up, it'll be Rainbow Dash worshipping her, not the other way 'round =P

Ha! He might be!

Thanks very much for the comments, all!

Xiee: Thanks ^_^ As for the style, I'll try! I wasn't really thinking about doing it in any specific way, I just drew it, so let's hope it wasn't a fluke. That's something I ALWAYS worry about with my drawings...

Davroth & Dessa: Yeah, like I said, if I give it a bit more study, I'm sure I'll be able to replicate it fairly well. For some reason I just don't pay much attention to it in the show, so whenever I thought of drawing her my mind was just blank. I didn't even know she had a hair gradient until I pulled up a colour guide. And then I was like 'Sigh. Trust Rarity to be the only pony with a hair GRADIENT'...

Thanks I wouldn't worry about it, I can probably get my head around it if I just give it a couple of goes and look at reference. With this one I just sort of winged it. Thanks anyway

Putting her in there is a really nice way to pay tribute.

And everything looks marvelous! There's more to creating a Winter scene than just putting in snow, and you've realised this and captured it perfectly

Ditto to all of the above O.O

Yes. Yes I will.

And don't worry about it B, everyone has down days about their art, I'm pretty sure. I find it's best to just work through it and you'll come around again eventually, and, even if you might not think so yourself, you'll have to trust us that your art is consistently amazing

Thanks on both accounts!

I love how little effort Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo put into their costumes in comparison to Applebloom XD

Marvelous as always. It's really nice to see a character piece with atmosphere, and the colours really bring that out in this one.

Very impressive! You clearly put a lot of thought into this!
