After seeing a few references to "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic", I decided to check it out.
That was a GOOD decision.

So, now it's time for some Rainbow Dash fanart. I tried a few things in this piece that are different from my normal style. This was a quicker piece, but I had a lot of fun playing around with the colors in this one.

Confound those ponies! They drive me to attempt new things artistically. :la:
Enjoy. :)

Overall it's brilliant piece of art! The sky and clouds are wonderful, the colors are great and makes a great atmosphere! But the main problem is Rainbow Dash herself. She looks like she was cut in the scenery from some another place. The reason is the shadow. Rainbow's shadows don't match the world's light source, also It should be much more deeper.
And It's impossible to not say that Rainbow Dash's mane is to rough and doesn't give a sensation of hair. It should be more curved, also shadow is needed on the mane and tail too.

In two words: Amazing background but the lack of proper shadows and highlights on Rainbow Dash makes her look kinda out of the place.
What do you think?

I really love this piece. I must respectfully disagree the criticism of the shadows on Rainbow Dash. She needs to standout from the rest of the scene, much the same way old films always made sure to cast light on an actor's eyes even in dark scenes. Also, I love her highlights and the way they make her glow ever so slightly from the rising sun. And her expression is fantastic - looking at the new day in egar anticipation of the great fun she'll have flying through those clouds. Most excellent work!

Love the colors and pony design. It has a very original feel to it, while still being a fan art to MLP FiM.
Also some of the reactions people have been having is hilarious. I too have surprised others (fellow colleagues)
but over time they realize that the show isn't that bad.

Thank you.

Seeing the reactions to this piece is one of the best parts. I just finished up another piece of fan art today, so I'll get to see another round of those now. ;)
So far, everyone that I know that has given the show a chance has really enjoyed it.

I love the colors in this, and the angle of the clouds really makes the scene open up
