Description The Apple Bloom bow is a great accessory for every occasion.

I made this one look... rustic somehow. I dunno, looks like an Italian restaurant in there. Too much orange/brown maybe but whatever I like it
Making the mirror look like a mirror was super tough. Decided to use a screen layer but it kinda washed out my colors so I bumped saturation but that got rid of the mirror effect and gah! I think I found a nice balance? Looks vaguely mirrory right?
Anyways, this piece I learned that overlay layers are the most useful friggen things ever and that SAI has no way to effectively blur filter a background. Oh and that I can't draw stallions for the life of me. I was TRYING to have him face the mirror but nooo, stallions got some weird muzzle thing makin it hard for ya boy to effectively pull it off. In other words, I really need to draw more stallions. Oh and I also learned that I love love love cloudy eyes, but can't very well use them because I make the eyes the focus half the time and when it's not the most solid black around it loses interest. *sigh* art, man.
I still draw "symbols" of objects. I'm not designing objects on my own. That sidetable back there is just a box, nothing more. sure it's a sidetable but there ain't nothing interesting about a box. I really really need to work on that. And uh... Well I think that's about all I can say about this one.

Have some apple siblings + accessory.

2016 quick update, wanted to make prints but it wasn't big enough. also it was bad. Still is bad cause I touched it up without redrawing the whole thing. But hey, it's got that vintage bobdude flavor with a little bit of modern bobdude flair.

This sign at Big Macintosh's mouth. Did you tried to represent Mona Lisa or something?
It's like he's saying to me, "Oh! It's okay..."
But I can think about:
"Oh! MY SISTER WANTS ME TO BE A MARE! HELP!"
I can think a lot about this expression of him. That's really incredible, amazing!

Apple bloom hats would be the best. I thought I could settle for just having the bow, but having the whole apple bloom would be fantastic.

Thanks!

That mirror works perfectly. The light streaks and reflection of the wood where Big Mac has his hoof really sell it. Applebloom looks adorable! Mane bows are the best accessory. ^_^

Yay for mirrors! Mirrors for everypony! I think the best way to mimic mirrors look like real life mirrors is to make it look like it has some tiny drops of water at the lower portion, fingerprints (or hoofprints), a little dust here an there, and to blur out the inside of the mirror from the actual frame color. I'm probably missing a few more, but hey, this is a cartoon about candy colored horses right?
