Description
This is the first in a series of my alternate take on the musical side of the "EQG-6".What I'm going for is the Mane-5 on the Canterlot High side of the mirror, plus Sunset instead of Twi (who's busy doing princessey things on the other side of the mirror, natrually
Rather than glittery rockers, the idea here is a few stringed instruments with some percussion and a bit of electronic accompaniment.
Think Lindsey Sterling, or something by Bond, like www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRfy-V… (thanks to templar for reminding me about them in the comments, as their stuff really fits with my concept here). youtu.be/Otvj9heLdcM is another by Bond that's more electronic-heavy.
Created in Ponyscape. I'm still a novice, so this took the better part of the weekend. Enjoy.
Updated image - forgot that extension on the back of her hair.
Update Oct20 - At 3/6 now, so I figure I'll reveal the rest of what I have in mind for the instruments.
Part 1: Sunset, First Violin ( here )
Part 2: Applejack, Second Violin, er *cough*, I mean... 'Fiddle' ( fav.me/d7zivdn )
Part 3: Rarity, Dbl Bass or Cello, as song requires ( fav.me/d82g2aj )
Part 4: Fluttershy, Spanish Guitar ( fav.me/d84qbgf )
Part 5: Pinkie, Percussion any/every-thing ( next up )
Part 6: Dash, Electronic accompaniment/mixing/etc - the wildcard to open up a lot of possibilities
As an aside - if anyone viewing this produces digital music, I'd love to see this concept extended into some actual songs, and may try to create a few myself. The specific instruments involved will be noted with each character as I get them completed, but goal is a fusion of strings and some other more modern sounds.

Nice - I do too, but rarely these days. Was waiting to see if anyone would comment on the finger holds - tried to get 'em as technically accurate as possible in a vector drawing, heh.

While it's not quite a "fancy" dress, here's my most recent Sunset if you haven't seen it already.

Twilight Sparkle should be part of Shimmering Strings if she wasn't on the other side of the mirror.

If just her face/hair, and then some credit added on your profile, then I suppose.

Right on. I think you can create a link to the profile by using : iconSkycatcherEquestria :
but don't put the spaces between the :'s and the name. I'd just like the clicky-link there, and should be all set.

I just like her style in general, from the settings to the sound itself, and also the little 'geek' nods she gives to stuff like Zelda, Skyrim, GoT, etc. I think it was Elements that was on YT when I had the idea here.
