Description After two months I've decided to render a high resolution image from the animation I did for  I'm spamming her so hard these months, sorry   (I already had one but it had blue ambient occlusion, as you can see from the preview image. It did look nice for a preview, but not for a 2160p image).
I had a shitton of problems (basically sfm went on a memory leak while preparing the poster ending up crashing), which in the end was just it trying to save it to a non-existent disk partition for some damn reason. Looks like it sometimes thinks it's still on my laptop.

I wanted to try the hair thingie again because it looks nice when done right. I really like how dashie came out, while Firefly is.. Something feels off, but it's good enough so whatever. No fur this time, it didn't look as good as in the other image so I prefered to avoid adding it.
I also fixed some weird polygons and such :3

Fun facts: the image was rendered in 15360x8640 in approximately 1.30h. Because of such a high resolution, the photoshop document ended up being 4.46GBs and managed to "fill" my 16GBs of RAM (it was at 12 but windows is stupid and thought it was full, magic of having virtual memory disabled I guess). It was fun

Whoa nice close-up! You can really see detail of the tears in their eyes better. I didn't notice the falling tear drop until now! Looks good, Shutdp!

Thanks :3
In the animation the tear drop wasn't supposed to just stand still but I wasn't sure what to do with it, had a few ideas but in the end I've decided to just leave it there as a small detail (which was hard to notice in the animation unless you knew it was there).
I might re-work on the hair thing some day, RD's mane looks fine, her tail need a bit more work, but I have to completely re-make Firefly's ones, the more I look at it the more it looks bad, also it has too much white in it, she seems too old

Fallout between a mother and daughter?

Not really. This image is based on a comic called Dash Academy, in which they are not related at all and have about the same age.
I recommend you read it if you like comics, it's great :3

No, thanks. I started to, but couldn't finish it. I've always seen Firefly and Rainbow to be mother and daughter.
