Description
After seeing a few references to "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic", I decided to check it out.That was a GOOD decision.
So, now it's time for some Rainbow Dash fanart. I tried a few things in this piece that are different from my normal style. This was a quicker piece, but I had a lot of fun playing around with the colors in this one.
Confound those ponies! They drive me to attempt new things artistically.
Enjoy.

Thank you very much for the critique.
I've just uploaded a minor update. I've added a bit more shading and lighting to Rainbow Dash, and I've toned back the texture on the buildings a bit. I think that helps deter that pasted-on look that she had before.
I made some slight changes to the mane and tail, but no major modifications... I always I think of spiky hair on her. She isn't perfectly on-model, but I think changing the tail position made the piece a little less dramatic, when I tried it.
Overall, it should look much more consistent now. Thank you again for your input.

I really love this piece. I must respectfully disagree the criticism of the shadows on Rainbow Dash. She needs to standout from the rest of the scene, much the same way old films always made sure to cast light on an actor's eyes even in dark scenes. Also, I love her highlights and the way they make her glow ever so slightly from the rising sun. And her expression is fantastic - looking at the new day in egar anticipation of the great fun she'll have flying through those clouds. Most excellent work!

Love the colors and pony design. It has a very original feel to it, while still being a fan art to MLP FiM.
Also some of the reactions people have been having is hilarious. I too have surprised others (fellow colleagues)
but over time they realize that the show isn't that bad.

Thank you.
Seeing the reactions to this piece is one of the best parts. I just finished up another piece of fan art today, so I'll get to see another round of those now.
So far, everyone that I know that has given the show a chance has really enjoyed it.

I love the colors in this, and the angle of the clouds really makes the scene open up

Thank you.
I was somewhat inspired by the style of clouds in Wind Waker. It was a fun challenge because the style is a bit different from what I usually draw.
I'm glad you enjoyed this piece.

Awesome! It has been a while since I talked to you.
How have you been?
You've been enjoying Friendship is Magic, as well, then?
I apologize for the slow reply...
I've been distracted with a large project I've been working on, and Skyrim, of course.
One of these days I'll be all caught up on my messages again.

Thank you very much.
I'm glad you enjoy this picture.
It really is a fun show. I make sure to keep up with the latest episodes.
This was my first attempt drawing something like this. I think I could probably do much better now, so I'm sure I'll have to give it another shot one of these days...

I think I'm going to make another piece with this sort of style sometime.
The Wind Waker clouds were rather fun to draw.

Wow. Now that I've actually watched MLP, I see this completely differently.
It's awesome.

Thank you. It's great to hear that.
That show does sort of re-wire your brain, in a way. Before watching Friendship is Magic, I wouldn't have even considered drawing My Little Pony fanart. Rainbow Dash is just too awesome to pass up, though.
I might have to draw some of the others, one of these days.

I know what you mean.
I don't have an OC, but if I was ever to create one, it would be an MLP character.
Sad, I know, but hey.
Also, on the topic of MLP: [link]

I've actually thought about making one of those, too.
That picture is rather awesome. I'm surprised they didn't give Celestia the trollface, though.
Spike as Keyboard Cat is one of my favorite parts of that one.
Have you listened to any of the remixes that are around yet? [link]
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I was expecting a Celestia trollface too. But in all honesty, I think I'm glad she got the awesome face instead. It suits her so well.
Also, awesome remix!

Love MLPs! The style reminds me of Zelda: Wind Waker

That was the style I had in mind when drawing those clouds.
I think the styles are rather compatible.
