Description
"Fabulous as she is generous, Rarity is the quintessential noble artist at heart, tirelessly seeking to reflect the true inner beauty from all things in life, be it from the ground, from her dresses, or from her friends."----------------
Thus begins the Time Off Series. This series is a project I started in the Summer of 2011 that depicts what each of the main six from MLP FiM do in their time off, away from what they normally do. My goal with this project hopefully is to present each of the characters in a more introspective and personal light than in the show while still remaining faithful the show's tone. These comics rely primarily on visual story telling with little to no dialogue, mostly because I enjoy showing the story a lot more than telling it.

Man, so awesome! Is this symbolism for something, or just pure cool?

I love this, but I have one question. What exactly is she trying to do? On the 7th panel, she looks disappointed, but she got a perfect bullseye.

That "Release" is the coolest shot ever, right there.

Wow!!
This is really amazing work.
Your art and your story are both expectional here
Congratulations!

This is quite delightful! I love how she's still a perfectionist, and I think the use of force fields as a stand-in for a bow is quite brilliant on your part.

This is my headcanon now - Rarity uses what is basically bow-sniper training for relaxing and meditation.

Love how her cutie mark glows when she releases. I suppose it makes sense since the arrows seem to be diamond-tipped. Her focused and worried expressions until she finally finishes her project, ending in an abrupt outburst of laughter, also reminds me of when I'm working on an important project. That feeling is captured so perfectly here.

wow... I just saw this on pony comics.
I am in the middle of a fanfic writing that also features Rarity with bow and arrow the the bow and arrows she uses are heirlooms from ancient times.

This is one of my fave pics of Rarity and one of the reasons I like using her beauty in fics

This like the other parts is very beautiful, but best of all I like your quote. At last, someone who truly understands Rarity

I can't remember if I've commented already, but this has been a favorite of mine for a while now, just not in my favorites! I do hope you continue this series, it's really quite beautiful both in concept and execution.

I love the way you styled Rarity's hair. And the way you drew her when she takes the shot. It all so GORGEOUS!!!
