Description
During the Steam Summer Sale, I gifted VectorizedUnicorn BioShock Infinite. They've been pretty obsessed with it, to my satisfaction and my complete understanding, since I felt the same way when I was gifted it not too long ago in return for a vector I made for a friend.

The Lutece Twins made more rounds in the fandom at large after their easter egg in Trade Ya! (MLP:FiM S04E22), but I thought I'd try this with other canon ponies, just for fun. Mostly because today is the birthday of the aforementioned user that I gifted the game, and their mascot in the community I partake in is Noteworthy, akin to how my mascot is Crescent Moon.

I was well-aware that Noteworthy had a similar-looking-but-not-necessarily-R63 female counterpart in the show, at least on the basis of color scheme, though she is not nearly as common as most other background ponies. As far as I know, she is the only pony of her design, and probably one of the first ever made considering the other ponies she appeared with near the show's kickoff and their quality to say the least. Though, glances at her tail imply she was probably a prototype Lyra/Amethyst Star, but I only say that because that's the tail model that I used for her when standing at this frontal angle. On the Wikia, her name is either "Rhythm" or "Night Shade" (though, the latter is already the name of a Shadowbolt, spaceless anyway), and some scenes in Season 4 add a (in my opinion, bogus considering the other ponies and their cutie marks from those same scenes) cutie mark that is a spider web. Noteworthy is definitely not the only pony that has a double in this manner, but it could just as easily be said that Rhythm is not the only one either, as she actually predates him. Ponies with opposite gender counterparts have always been something I've wanted to explore, even though these pairings happen either out of laziness or a designer probably really liked a certain color scheme.

Anyway, this is a birthday gift for the birthday pony, who I affectionately refer to by their mascot pony; Notey, or Humdinger (which is from the Enterplay CCG), who is still enjoying BioShock Infinite as I made and upload this. Thus, any serious inaccuracies, misconceptions, or misrepresentations concerning the characters depicted were mostly excused in the spirit of gift art. By this, I mean that this work isn't meant to be taken too overly seriously, for your own sake. To make this, I mostly reused previous body resources that I was confident were good enough that I didn't need to do major retouching to, however the clothes were done with a reference, rather than traced like much of my work tends to be.

I should note that VectorizedUnicorn is one of my closest colleagues as far as pony vectoring, and perhaps my closest brony friend in any community I'm part of, and has made the most progress vector-wise of anyone under my direct guidance. This deviation's title is one of their quotes upon showing them this prior to uploading it publicly here. I should also add that Noteworthy is a background pony that's made appearances in the show as an earth, pegasus, and unicorn pony, so that's just my way of justifying making him a unicorn here.

I'm in no way claiming that these two ponies are the ponified Lutece Twins (especially considering the real easter eggs've already appeared in the show), or whatever I vector is what I feel are the ponified version of anything I reference or parody, rather, I'm just playing with the concept of dressing up ponies as things from other franchises out of pure fun and enjoyment. This won't be the only time I expect to do this.

That being said, this will be my last upload before I travel abroad the day after I upload this, for the next two weeks. Afterwards, I'll be returning home for a week to recuperate for BronyCon 2014.

Time: 4 hours
