=NightmareMoonS wanted to see a souvenir photo of RD aswell. So I did one ^.^

Thanks again to all the people who have been at the stream :)
With 10 viewers we reached a new record :XD:

It was quite hard to come up with a styling idea for RD, because I thought her Gala dress was just perfect, but yeah. I kept some things of her dress, as you can see. But all in all it's a new design ^.^

Well, I'll start by saying this is certainly noteworthy, it has lots of things going for it, and your skill is quite obviously there. There is room for improvement, but that is something everyone has, and I can see you making some truly great works in future.

The style of the piece is very Rainbow Dash. Instead of the high-riding dress and the clunky shoes, this new style is much more speedster, and as minimalistic as one would expect from this character.

The shading was for the most part, awesome. You segregated very well, the costume and the actual pony aren't molded, like a lot of pieces I see. The tail is kind of plain, but I attribute that to the tail band, which would tease the shape that has.

The detail is really quite beautiful, her mane & tail are incredible, shaded, lined and segregated very nicely, and her wing is very good looking.

I suppose my biggest problem with this was the wing, it has to be said. It looks very plastered on, in comparison to the rest of her, and in my eyes, the piece suffered for it.

The next small problem is the cutie mark, while it certainly looks detailed, it is too one-dimensional for her, it looks slapped on instead of sketched on, I think maybe less care was taken with this bit?

The last problem is the eyes, they are very good looking, but the shading is kind of against the style of the rest of the piece, the glow-shading seems more like a spur-of-the-moment thing than the planning from the rest of this. This is probably more of an aesthetic thing, so you can disregard that if you wish.

All in all, this was a rather good piece, and you have quite a lot of skill there, but it needs to develop some more, and you need a more consistent style. I love this piece though, 8.5/10.

Overall, not a bad art piece, but it could use some improvement.

Her cutie mark does not look like it matches the style of the artist, though perhaps you went through painstaking effort to precisely replicate it. If the latter is the case, I commend you. However, I must point out that it is positioned too low on her leg.

The colors in her mane and tail are vibrant, and you managed to capture them very well. Her tail lacks the "wild" tuffs of hair that should be branching off, typical of her more... natural style.

Her hooves seem a little off in design; the have too much of a "point," rather than the more smooth flattened oval. Her wing looks a little bit like a hand, if that makes any sense.

Good work capturing the correct proportions of Rainbow's face. The shading on her body seems to lack general focus; it could be improved by imagining an off-screen light source (probably a soft one, given general tone of your art style), and picturing where the shadows would lie under that light.

In summation, good vibrant colors; change some details, add a "light source," and you'll have a pretty good work of art.
