Description
My Little Pony - HasbroArt / Starlight Rider - Me
Original Sketch - kitistraza.deviantart.com/art/…
Tried shading and such nots. I think I did well.
Also...Rider's updated armor. Does it look good? Or did I fail horribly?
I also spent way to long doing this.

No it goes on both sides. Its hard to explain...Its based off a helmet in the game World of Warcraft but its girled up so it doesnt look anything like it but the style is there.

Oh, like the Warrior Tier 1, or maybe a some sort of side jaw for both cheeks? I think I get it.

Exactly!
Although it goes around the entire face and lower jaw.

Well, as a fan of armor, I love the design, and still resembling the show's style somewhat! (I myself, do armor based on old styles, because I am a sucker for scale armors, chainmails, etc.)
I mean, the only real thing she may be missing is a helmet, looking over the show stuff right now. Obviously, being her size, and power, she should worry about somepony getting a shot at her head, but then again, I am silly and notice these things (but no helmet works great too! As adding one tends to mess up manes.. and oh boy have I done that before!)
Anyway, just my input! Very lovely job, as usual

There is actually lore behind her armor.
She got into a great battle with her older sister who had resorted to using black magic. Rider had a full set of armor complete with helmet and full body coverage. But her sister cast a spell that caused her to be dispersed into star dust (Also the original result of her ethereal mane) after a few years Rider managed to break the spell and crashed down into a remote location in Equestria to be found by a wandering blacksmith. She was severely injured and her armor was trashed. Seeing her as a "god" the blacksmith tended to her wounds and healed her. As a gift he smelted down and reforged her armor and shaped up the usable pieces. It left Rider with what she has now.

Ahh very interesting! I certainly like the way it looks, and don't mean to be nitpicky on something silly like a helmet, it is just something I wanted to say. (Plus, despite the fact I hate draw Helmets, I like designing them in my head )

Her helmet was destroyed. And after her mane took its current state she refused to wear one.

God dangit. Sometimes that happens. I meant to say it looks good on her.
