[/edit] For people coming here today, remember where I came from, it was a long hard path. Love is not a victory march... not a bit. It's one long sad hallelujah. [link]

Mixed media painting with Sai, Photoshop and ArtRage. I wasn't feeling the animations again so I decided to paint something awesome instead.

Sadly, somewhere along the way (probably ArtRage) it decided to export my image smaller than SAI's 3000 pixel width. :/

You can watch me hack away at it here: [link]

I love ponies. I feel like I get to go back to my roots, around age 12 and Powerpuff Girls and learn art all over again.

the color looks a bit dark and it gives her this cool look that i don't remember seeing in any other pic, its original and i like it. that expression on her face is clearly serous something worth mentioning taken that rainbow dash is often seen as headstrong and arrogant, but in this picture she looks cool and thoughtful, and its made clear so i don't have to figure it out, it just comes to me. the digital art looks like a painting and once again its made perfect its looks old and acoustic like it was painted in the hand of a VERY skilled artist. rainbow dash infects me with her thoughtfulness and it makes me think 20% more. good job to the very end

I love the lift you gave the brushstrokes, it makes Rainbow's features stand out even more. And her expression is has this silent power to it, really ace work mate (:

I love the emotion you captured in this, I can actually appreciate the character now. I see Rainbow Dash in a whole new way, this speaks to the power of your work. The shadows are very dynamic as well. You said you love ponies and it shows. This picture is inspiring in its form and to me as well.

It really means a lot to me if I can make someone see a character in a new light just by art.

ArtRage is pretty cool like that. Plus, I love wasting digital paint. It costs NOTHING.

I love the texturing. Heck, the whole style is just very pleasing to me.

Plus it's Rainbow Dash. ^.^

Gonna have to look into ArtRage, it's piqued my interest.
