Excellent job, I would like to point out that the edges seem a bit rough in some areas on the her wings. The bead/whatever is holding her mane kind-of sticks out to me, the reflection on it seems a bit off. The wings seem a tiny bit too far up on her body.
I *could* use a bit more detail in the wings, might I suggest adding some feathery detail?
I think my favorite part about your work on this piece is the absolutely splendid shading job you did!
VERY good work, you should be known more! I hope to see more from you!
She doesn't look like a tank (reference to ep. 14)
Excellent portrait of everyone's favorite Skittles-flavored pony. I am going to operate on the assumption that you're not trying to slavishly follow the show's model, as you've gone into greater detail by far than the show itself.
With a rainbow-colored subject, choosing a background is particularly difficult. What will compliment and what will contrast, and what will just disappear into the character and muddy the waters? Your color choice, your use of the fade, the very light "glow", and your choice of using straight lines to offset a character that is all curves is spot-on. You nailed it.
I can see the work you've put into shaking and highlights. Very nicely done. I think a little more contrast between the front wing and the back wing would help; as it is the contrast is a little low. Ditto for the back of the left foreleg over the right foreleg; a deeper shadow on the far leg would give Rainbow more of a three-dimensional look.
The highlight-spot on the red hair-tie bead doesn't match the direction of the spots on the spheres of the necklace or eye (as far as direction goes).
A more prominent nostril might help a little.
The wing attachment location is a little awkward for me, a little too far forward. It makes the visual convergence of the back of the neck and the wings somewhat "busy"; she has no definition of where her back is. Even if you were to agree, I wouldn't change this picture, though.
NO! I write for my own pleasure! I don't write just cuz you tell me to! In fact, I'm taking a break from SoarinDash and not writing for the next three months!
she looks so majestic XD. when I first saw her in the dress ,in the Gala episode, I thought it was an extension of hair hanging over back and I was like "holy crap thats a lot of mane" but then I saw that her mane was slung across her neck and tied off at the end

This one's a keeper. Thank you for sharing this.
