Description Rainbowdash! Cameoing as a WWII fighter pilot It took a while for me to come up with a good pose for this one--she's such a strong character that I didn't want to go all cheesecake here. She's sexy for who she is.

I'm struggling to get a picture that shows these colors as true-to-life, sometimes with watercolor the original is much better than any photo because of the nature of how light bounces through it =/ This composition looks a lot nicer in real life, I keep adjusting the photograph but the clouds don't look as nice as they do in person.

Done in watercolor and colored pencil, 9X12 inches

I love the style, it has that classic pin-up look, and it's not the new style pony, which also adds to the aged aesthetic. I love it. I'm not to good at water color, so mad respect for ya, I don't have the control required to use it. I don't know what gave you the idea, but it's nothing short of inspired. I don't know if ( bronies and they're ways ) anyone has ever given you bad mouth about ti or what not, being as people can be ignorant when it comes to styles such as pin-ups, but if anyone does, ignore them, because this is really good. Needless to say, you're now on my watch list.

Not a problem, You did really well. What gave you the Idea anyway? I saw all of your current pony pin-ups, and the way the women are shaped is really natural, they're beautiful but not unrealistic. You do great work.

thank you! I was inspired by advertising pinups from the 1940s and Loomis's work. I really wanted to capture that irreverant feel but also the style. I really need to finish Fluttershy so I can call this series done I appreciate hearing that--while I do try to include the variety of women I tend to prefer to draw those of American average. I'm a bigger fan of Marylin Monroe than many of the models today.

Agreed. I like how in the AJ pin-up you actually said you wanted the natural pear shape, I like that you went for raw, natural beauty. I wish I could draw female anatomy but it's very hard for me, not the body itself so much as it's the gender bits, breasts in particular because they always come out un-even. I can't wait to see your Fluttershy pin-up, what will the theme for it be? You don't have to answer, but the anticipation is killing me. Really looking forward to it.

My original idea was farm-girl, I had started it with her feeding chickens but spilled green paint on it so put it down. I wasn't happy with it anyways so I will probably restart it from scratch.

If it helps, most women are a little uneven, many woman have breasts that are not quite symmetrical I found practicing with the Pixielovely gesture tool really helped my work, I highly recommend it.

That wing looks an awful lot like the red wing of Solo Wing Pixy's F-15C from Ace Combat: Zero.

Maybe? I wouldn't know to be honest, I get motionsick from videogames. I chose the color red because it best fit the colors of the painting I looked up WWII fighter planes and made the wing a generic shape, maybe they did the same?

Wow i love the style that you did them in! and i really like your RD I love those boots they're amazing! The only problem i see is that her tummy looks kinda big, when in actuality she should be fit since she is an athlete, but other than that is great.

Thanks ^__^ I'm glad you like them! Yea, I agree XD I tend to make women a little on the plus side, sometimes I do it even when I don't mean to!
