Description Here she is. My Ex least favorite pony which I hated whole first season and liked her more and more later on
This piece took me some time because I never even tried to paint a snow and have to learn it here. The biggest problem here is the carousel boutique because it was a pain with lots of small accents and it is round.
There was some moment when I stuck because everything had to be covered by snow and to be honest - there's not much stuff surrounding Rariti's boutique. It's hard to make round building look good but I guess creators tried hard.

Can you be generous with your comments? please

I-- I have no words... This is... The level of detail you've layed into this piece! The background ponies, I even see Derpy floating out there tied to a bunch of balloons. Carousel Boutique is glowing like a beacon in that winter weather, the lamp light is soft and welcoming, you've even made sure to draw the hoof prints in the snow. Truly lovely.

And coming in on the caboose is...
Very well done indeed. The entire landscape is reminiscent of Thomas Kinkade. I especially like the fact that, every time I look at this, I see something new (pony floating by with balloons in background.)
The degree of texture you put into everything is amazing, despite the difficulty you described, and you've managed to add a sense of motion to the work and I half-expect somebody to push the spacebar and allow the scene to continue.
The only peeve that I have, and it's nitpicking really so feel free to ignore it, is that Rarity and Sweetie Belle don't seem to fit in with their surroundings properly. While the landscape and background ponies (to a degree) appear more realistic, those two seem a little cartoonish. I don't know if that was intentional on your part to draw more attention to them so they wouldn't be lost in the general scope or not but, like I said, it's barely worth mentioning.
All in all, an excellent work and I think you should do another with different subjects.

Thanks! Indeed I wanted those two to be more distinguished from the background.

Long comment incoming!

First of all... Wow. This is probably some of the most impressive MLP fanart that I've seen in, well, forever. Why? Because of all the detail and attention you paid to the background, the surrounding buildings, the rendering of homes and the utilization of atmospheric perspective to give the impression of things fading into the horizon. What I love is that you took time out to realistically render all of these things and that, even though Rarity and Sweetie Belle are the primary focal points of the work, you still made their surrounding environment visually appealing.

Every little detail, down to the iron supports for Rari's sled, to the semi-frozen lake, to the differently colored patches of snow to convey volume and dimensionality, to the details on the boutique, shows just how much time and effort you put into this.

Truly well done. If you are planning to be a professional artist, this is definitely something that needs to go in your portfolio in high-quality prints. Absolutely stunning.
