My second Pony portrait. One of those flash-of-inspiration things. Image just popped into my head one 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.
