Description Oh gosh, I actually finished it sooner than I expected.

I wanted to make a high complex/detailed outfit again, since I haven't really done that since 2014... with Applejack.
Because it has been so long, I ended up with a bit different process and result. Kinda to be expected, but interesting to see each style's strength/weakness. Albeit I can't remember everything I did back then... (besides the previous took ~31+ hours haha)
It was also an excuse to do some dress/outfit designing again. Something MLP does plenty already, so I'm joining in on the fun.

When I started this, I knew I'd be in for a multisession piece. One that I couldn't make in one single Saturday. Today I thought it'd even be a 3 session piece, but nope... at one point I just... kept going haha. Brushy brushy Applejacky.
I do think I ended up cutting some corners because of that. Not cleaning up as much after the colour was added on the greyscale, to refine details that don't translate through those steps too well. But, I guess the greyscale was complex enough to be able to omit some stuff like that.

Then there was the background haha, ended up having to redo that. But did manage to use the old one as a painting in the new background. So I guess... win win?

This has been the longest taking piece in years I think. At least more than 1 year, perhaps even only topped by the my older piece I based this on... maybe. Well, it's at that top of hours taken.

Either way, hope y'all like the results!

PS: I do plan on putting together a time-lapse for this... it's just that there's a lot of data, and plenty of minutes to fill with music I gotta find.

Edit: Wow, I did not expect the wonderful response to this! Thanks everyone for the support, y'all make this possible for me.
(And even blasted me over 16k watchers while y'all were at it?!)

Approx Time: 24~25 hours
Photoshop CC
Timelapse: Pending

Hey! Ive got a team of people working on a new game. we are discussing character design and might go for anthro designs though you have shown knowledge of how to incorporate civilised equipment/technology with the pony anatomy. if you would like to see your designs modelled and animated and then finally put into a game then please contact me on skype: luke.squires3 or discord: IsorGames#4016

I don't remember if I commented on this piece way back when you published it, but I am now. The greens and red are really beautiful tones, you crafted a nice fancy outfit for her that still feel like her tough girl look. Well done. the yellow, orange and gold are so bright! Love you this so much.

EverlastingJoy [2017-01-24 17:48:03 +0000 UTC]

Oh! Oh my is this awesome looking!

First of all, the insane details need to be noted. Even by your standards AM these details are far and above your bar. Keep going with this if you can. Second, she looks like a cavalier with these clothes on, and I'm just waiting for her to bust out a rapier and start, shall we say, poking some bad guys.

spacewolflord [2017-01-24 17:45:29 +0000 UTC]

This is very well done with wonderful amounts of details.  The exposed thigh is generally just use to show skin is used in a very believable way that doesn't sexualize the character unlike how most people use it.  The cloth and leather work is top notch stuff.  I personally don't get the belly button window but its far better and more modest then how most artists use it which is a big plus for me. 
Thank you for sharing.

Pencil-Dragon [2017-01-23 15:55:54 +0000 UTC]

Astonishing!
There's only one thing I find detracting from this piece... why does she have a hole in her outfit that perfectly frames her belly button? That just seems odd to me.
