Description Sticker design for Animefest.

Rainbow Dash from MLP in human form.
Gave her some old WWII aviator goggles because makes her look about 20% cooler.

Character copyright Hasbro/Lauren Faust

Now it's time to start on Apple Jack!

Forgot to mention. All shades and tones, aside from skin tones, are accurate to the palette from the show. Aside from a highlight or two here and there.

My roomie at college was obsessed with My Little Ponies. Rainbow Dash was her favorite. The world is small.

You have set the bar for the humanized Rainbow Dash. Unfortunately, you set the bar too high for many to reach! Trollestia, git off mah balcony...

Seriously though, if it weren't for your amazing ponies, I'd have never been introduced to the show. Thanks!

This is... amazing. I love the foreshortening, the musculature, the skeleton, the way the light hits her shins... This is really amazing. X3

I really like this, not only because of the extremely cool detail and the snazzy outfit, but because you didn't angle it straight on; you did a kind of lower-than-subject's-eyes kind of level to show her competitive streak. I really like that because it adds more '20% awesomeness' to it.
Well done on this fantastic job! I really love your style. Please keep drawing!

I think you meant to say 'Gave her some old WWII aviator goggles because it added 20% more cool.'

Alcoholics Anonymous Rainbow Dash. Very hard to beat - especially if you take her vodka.

pony-tastic. I like the perspective and the kind of truthfulness to the anatomy. Alot of people ignore or refuses to acknowledge that legs have muscles at all :I

haha, valid point, but still. Even though I enjoy anime style, I'm getting tired of stick legs and arms

AphexAngel In reply to BambooDew [2011-08-07 19:58:42 +0000 UTC]

Clamp uses characters that can level cities with their power, but are designed to be toppled by a stiff breeze.
Oh, and most characters look the same. Especially in those yaoi comics - they all look like girls, with extremely similar face shapes, body types and silhouettes. While this may be done due to time constraints, it's really bad design-wise.

That and once you see it, you can never unsee it. Look hard at anime/manga designs. You'll see the homogenous nature of the characters per their genre rather quickly.

Rainbow hair goes well with goggles. Enough said.

It looks really gorgeous! You have the gift to make characters come to life
