AWESOME!!!! The cheap scanner doesn't really take away anything from this piece. I love it. Interestinf details in the bottom of the hooves there. Was she posing for you here?

Yes she was.

That is AWESOME.

"Draw me like one of your French ponies."
(I can almost hear her say it. With Petina growling in the background.)

And she's GAWGEOUS!

I am looking at the minature I have of her.. I have 5 of the main six.. Fluttershy eludes me.. an they gave her mane is two tones of purple.. nice, but not right.

Fluttershy gets no love.

Finding the first five was fairly easy, but.. no surprise.. Fluttershy seems to be hiding.

What size figure are you looking for?

Well, Pinkie pie is just under 2 inches.. say under a quarter inch..measuring is not something I am good at.

Ah, one of the "blind bag" figures, then.

Yes, I saw the 3 pack collection where you can see what you are getting, but at $8 at wal-mart.. an I would have doubles.. and still no Fluttershy..though Zoccora made me leap..

Actually, the "blind bag" figures are available in a lot of different ways. Multi-figure sets (more than the threes) at Toys'R'Us and Walmart, single figures (the "blind bags") at a lot of stores. I know how to read the codes, so I'll see what I can find of Fluttershy.

ok, I am heading to wal-mart tomorrow.. if I find her, i'll note you.

Well, I'm mailing out the one I have tomorrow...

Ok

Do you produce artwork within your dreamscapes? That is, such that the work itself only exists within the dream?

In the Andur dreamscape yes. In fact my main position in Sultan's palace staff is as chief artist. I also teach art at the university in Andur. In theory I have an apprentice but he's gone AWOL.

In the Angel and Knight Prime universe I still do freelance illustration for folks, and I am one of the main artists for Avalon Limited Holdings which is Petina's company. Also I did illustrations and cover art for Move to the Musics most recent tour A little bit of magic.

In Equestria I have not been doing much in the way of traditional art since I had the transformation from unicorn to pegasi. However I started practicing cloud sculpting and I will make sketches of what want to do before I start shaping clouds.

She seems to be saying, "You will do what I want, won't you?"

Unshod? Does Rarity do nothing to protect her hooves? Maybe a magic spell or slip-on covers? Or is Ponyville just that safe for someone who just had a pedicure? ;)

She wears slip-on shoes. That way she can tailor them to more to what she is wearing.

Lady Rarity is pretty and all, but you left us with a cliffhanger!

Yes, this week we will resume the end of Applebloom's plight.

I love how you made Rarity look here. Something about her reminds me a lot of the kind of cool, sophisticated ladies from movies in the 40's.

Well she does have some of that Lauren Bacall, Greta Garbo look to her.

You just made me wonder if there's a pony equivalent of Mae West. Or Loni Anderson.

I would love to see the pony Mae West. Maybe that would be Cherry Jubilee, or whatever the name of AJs temporary employer was that one time?

Was she saucy enough? Mae made liberal use of double entendres, IIRC.

"...all the boys think she's a spy, she's got Bette Davis eyes"

Pure beauty <3 Amazing work on this!

Absolutely beautiful! The blue/purple goes so well with her white coat here!

Well there is a reason why Rarity is high up on Petina's list of ponies she wants to buck!

Dang she is the hardest to draw cause of her hair. Great job!

Actually I found her pretty easy to do. Just don't rush things, think about what you are doing and the rest just kind of solved itself.

Ahh, my favourite pony <3 Being a lovely lady, as always!

She seems more mature and grown up now, less pony more mare, and properly sophisticated. No more Amateur Dramatics, now it's Shakespeare, done right! Nice transition from a very abstracted 2D source to a 3D form with structure.

Glad you like it. Age wise I imagine Rarity at the start of Season One being in her late teens so a couple years later and she's grown further. Not just physically but in maturity. Sure she'll always be a bit a drama queen but that is just who she is.

Eligant in life, Eligant in bed...


nice piece, as always

Petina would definitely being interested finding out the last part.

Beautiful pic of one of my favorite ponies! Nicely done!

It's hard to believe that the scanner messed up the colours in this (it's the colouring that brought me here)

Nah, this doesn't have nearly the subtle violets and pinks of the original.

Hello, Lil' Miss Realistic Hooves.

Yeah ponies in my dreams have real definable hooves to them.

aww yay, I love Rarity, and this is a really neat interpretation of her.

Thanks glad you like it.
