Description
My second Pony portrait. One of those flash-of-inspiration things. Image just popped into my head last night and I had to draw it--did the entire thing in 2 days.I had intended for her expression to look kind of snooty, as if she's looking down her nose at you, but my husband sees it as more ... he didn't really have word for it, but he described it as her looking at something and thinking "Hmm, it's not quite right, but I can fix it ..." I don't really see it, but hey, if her expression can be interpreted in more than one way, I'm all for that.
Fiddled with the eyes more than usual--added extra hightlights and a blue glowy tint to the pupils. Rarity just seems like she should have striking eyes, and since they're so big on the page, I figured they deserved some extra detail.
Done with ink, then colored in Photoshop.

While I myself am not a fan of MLP this is very well done

Shew looks beautiful. I can understand that, while there is some "snooty" in there, there is more. The eyes are basically betraying the snooty emotion that the rest of the body shows, which in her case is great. She's a deeper character then just being prissy, so the emotion captured is perfect.

Yah, I can see that. Someone on FurAffinity pointed out that the eyes should have been half-closed for a snooty look.
But, like I said in the description, I kinda like that it can be interpreted in more than one way.

Very nice style with Rarity, Dena!

Hmm... don't suppose you'd be open for commissions, would you?

Hmm ... not right now, but in the future I might be. I'll let ya know.
I am planning to do more Pony fan art, and I plan to start making plushies too (well, I'm gonna make one--if it works out, I'll continue

Excellent! I think your style would fit rather nicely with a few of the cards I'm putting together.

Sorry, this is the maximum amount of Rarity allowed by law. Any more and the internet would explode from her awesomeness.

The thing that stands out to be about this piece is how you've shaded her hair! It's such an interesting technique to use pen strokes to create depth! Love it! It give her mane and tail so much texture! Fantastic work!

Thanks, I like to put a lot of work into inking, especially when it comes to hair, and I like to apply that to fan art as well, to kind of add my own personal touch.

I find inking to be the hardest part of doing my own art, so I find it extra impressive when an artist can use it to enhance a piece instead of just having it be the hardest step to muscle through before colouring! Cookies to you!

Yah, inking is definitely a bit daunting. Sometimes I wish I had the patience to learn how to do it digitally, but I don't think it'd have quite the same effect anyway.
Cookies ^.^

Have you tried using Paint Tool SAI? That's what I use. It has a really nice kind of blend of inking tools. I use it on everything.... haha!
