Description
"Fabulous as she is generous, Rarity is the quintessential noble artist at heart, tirelessly seeking to reflect the true inner beauty from all things in life, be it from the ground, from her dresses, or from her friends."----------------
Thus begins the Time Off Series. This series is a project I started in the Summer of 2011 that depicts what each of the main six from MLP FiM do in their time off, away from what they normally do. My goal with this project hopefully is to present each of the characters in a more introspective and personal light than in the show while still remaining faithful the show's tone. These comics rely primarily on visual story telling with little to no dialogue, mostly because I enjoy showing the story a lot more than telling it.

Just out of curiosity, did you get the idea of Rarity being an archer from the story "Blood is thicker then friendship"?

Sorry, but I don't really read fanfics... at all. It's not my thing. If it seems familiar it's only by coincidence.

Holy Moly. She just blossoms as an archer! Such a cool idea for her to apply her almost clinical OCD to the mental discipline of archery. Bit late now of course, I believe the term for setting an arrow in place in a bow is "nocking", would be a suitible term for her magically grasping and setting the arrow ready to draw and release too. I <3 this short

I just watched Putting Your Hoof Down, and I needed to try and find something to counteract the 'beetus. This helped a whole lot, but I'm sure it'll take something much more powerful to treat twenty-two straight minutes of direct Fluttershy induced 'beetus ( that's the most powerful strain, in case you didn't know.)

Oh, I know and love this little drinking game! Every five perfect shots in a row, take a drink! Empty the quiver, EMPTY THE BOTTLE. >83

Great work, Gent! Love to see more!

She reminds me of Jane Austen's Emma in this. Maybe it's her hair.

Whoah. I saw this a long time ago so I can't believe this wasn't already in my favorites. I'm ashamed.

I didn't knoe Rarity had the Star Platinum stand. That explains so much about her skill level :3
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
This is awesome.
And yes, Rarity is that much of a perfectionist. (But she would have a white wine glass!)

I love these! Non-canon stuff is hit or miss with me usually but I'm always a sucker for slice-of-life off-camera things and this definitely delivers.

Aaaah, so much epic!

It's amazing!
But I must remind you, Rarity's magic color is actually blue.
Other than that I can see that you put all of your effort into this.
Well done.

Thank you 
I am aware that it is blue, but this was made before the second season started.
