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.
Enjoy.

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!
Excellent job on the artist, i give you tons of praise for it, definitely follow you now.
I also love the style of the dragon pictures and some of your wallpapers!

Thank you very much. 
It's an honor to hear that you're enjoying my art.
I'll do my best to continue improving.

i usualy hate ponies (and all art that refers them) , but i gotta say you made this pic look pretty good!
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.

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 was somewhat inspired by the style of clouds in Wind Waker. It was a fun challenge because the style is a bit different from what I usually draw.
I'm glad you enjoyed this piece.

Haven't talked to ya in forever. Hel-Pup here. I actually ended up spotting this on /r/mylittlepony and recognized your name! Hope you're doing well!
Awesome! It has been a while since I talked to you.
How have you been?
You've been enjoying Friendship is Magic, as well, then?
I apologize for the slow reply...
I've been distracted with a large project I've been working on, and Skyrim, of course.
One of these days I'll be all caught up on my messages again.

I'm glad you enjoy this picture.
It really is a fun show. I make sure to keep up with the latest episodes.
This was my first attempt drawing something like this. I think I could probably do much better now, so I'm sure I'll have to give it another shot one of these days...

I think I'm going to make another piece with this sort of style sometime.
The Wind Waker clouds were rather fun to draw.

Thank you. It's great to hear that.
That show does sort of re-wire your brain, in a way. Before watching Friendship is Magic, I wouldn't have even considered drawing My Little Pony fanart. Rainbow Dash is just too awesome to pass up, though.
I might have to draw some of the others, one of these days.

I was expecting a Celestia trollface too. But in all honesty, I think I'm glad she got the awesome face instead. It suits her so well.
Also, awesome remix!
Also, awesome remix!
Thank you.
That was the style I had in mind when drawing those clouds.
I think the styles are rather compatible.

Very colorful, a bit different then what we normally see from you, but you pulled it off well all the same.

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.
