Description
What a guy. What a bro. What a Patriot.This one was actually a lot of fun. I think this was the first time I've worked up the courage to flick a loaded brush at my work, and seeing how that background turned out, I don't regret it!
Watercolor on Master's Touch 140 lb. paper. Finished: 7/7/14

What a guy. What a bro. What a patriot. And now, (apparently) What a dad.

It's adorable how you make stallions have fluffy chins :3

Thanks! I figure it gives them an extra bit of manliness.

Wow, I have a lot of respect for people who can actually control their watercolours. And... oh my, is that a bit of chin fluff I see?

I think a better way to have introduced him in the show would've been Twilight showing a "wallet picture" like this one and then watching all the other main cast going on and on about how handsome and regal he is.

Thanks! Every stallion should be a little beardly.

Brother, husband, captain and B.B.BF.F. Now he just needs to be father and I'm sure he will be a great one.
BEautiful portrait.

Wouldn't that be fun! Twilight would probably end up looking up a book on "How to be an Aunt" or something, and be constantly lecturing Shining and Cadance on the ins and outs of parenting.

I feel that is an episode that a lot are waiting to happen.

Some people just don't end up on my radar for the longest time, but when I finally find them, I'm like, why did I not find them sooner?
You are one such artist, and I am saddened I did not find you sooner, as you are fantastic!

Oh, you're not too late. I may have been active here for three years already, but I've plenty more left ahead.

This may be a funny thing to point out, but I like the shine on his armor. You captured the metalic essence very well for using watercolor.

Thank you! That was a personal requirement for this portrait. After all, what's Shining Armor without his . . . shining armor?

Haha, indeed. :]

Yeah, I wanted to give him a little extra ruggedness, despite him being military.

Makes him look more manly :]>

Yep, he's a true, blue Equestrian Hero.

How much does it takes to make a piece like this?

I'm not sure I understand the question. Do you have a unit of measure in mind?

sorry I forgot to write "time" XD

Ah, of course. Well, I finished Trixie on the second of July, and this one was finished on the seventh. I really can't say if it actually took me five days, since it was the middle of summer, a time when I'm more physically active and less artistically productive. I would estimate it took about three days, though.
