Description
Here is my colored version of one of Earthsong9405 's beautiful drawings. I did not make the outline for this, this was a collaboration between myself and Earthsong9405 ! Earthsong is an extremely talented artist with a style that I simply adore, you all must check out her gallery immediately.This character is Bonnie Zacherle's fan-made OC, who goes by the name of Bonniecorn or Iridia, and was originally designed by WillisNinety-Six . She is depicted here as a beautiful alicorn seraph, which is Earthsong's version of her. Bonnie is, after all, the creator of the My Little Pony franchise, so it only makes sense that she would have an OC who is as powerful as a god. To read more about her headcanon in the MLP universe, visit Earthsong's upload: earthsong9405.deviantart.com/a…
I couldn't decide on what to do with the background, but I loved the idea of the rainbow falls as seen in Cloudsdale. Such an interesting idea to have rainbows in liquid form, falling from the sky. And it matched her cutiemark, so win-win. All hail My Little Pony!

The coloration is wonderful! Only criticism is that the coat looks a bit too flawless to come of as real fur, looking like a solid mass instead of some subtle variation that would be in fur. The fur around the ankles looks more like actual fur instead of skin. Just a bit of texturing around the body would have helped this. The coloring of the fur, mane, and hooves helps cement her look like something of a goddess looking over her creation. The subtle structural parts of a horse were shaded well also, making her look as if she could actually move while still remaining cartoonish.

Okay, that's beautiful. It's pretty much the perfect transformation from the pencil sketch to a full-on digital art piece. You've preserved pretty much every detail through transforming them from how they were executed in the traditional version into a digital version. As the person who commissioned the original from Earthsong, I'm most happy to see this. It's like a second picture free of charge, heh heh. Thank you, and well done!

Bwaaa I totally didn't know that her original piece was a commission! Haha, that is awesome. I just love all of Earthsong's drawings, I was so excited when she asked me to color the original. I'd never heard of Bonnie Zacherle's OC, so the opportunity to showcase her was one that I happily jumped on

JESUS H. CHRIST! IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL!!!
I just love how vibrant all of the colors are, and the background you've done just really suits her; lush and prosperous lands under her watchful eye. And of course, Bonnie herself! That shading! Those wings! DAT HAIR DOE! And you colored her eyebrows! (you have no idea how many folks forget the eyebrows, man. T.T)
I just.... I really really really love it. Thank you so much for coloring this; I really appreciate it!

Yaaaaaauy so glad you like it!! I had a hard time trying to figure out what to do with the background, but figured the Cloudsdale-ish rainbow falls would match her cutie mark. This was so fun to color. If you give me your e.mail I can send you the original file size of this
