Description

´*.¨¯`**¨¯`*Attention Viewers! ´*.¨¯`**¨¯`*

Please read the entire description below before commenting or sending me a note.

This digital wallpaper was inspired by the following poetic verse: 

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crown-less again shall be king.” - J. R. R. Tolkein

I plan on doing a picture from each verse of the poem. It's beautiful and inspiring. I took Rarity's pose from a screenshot I located, redrew her in my own pony style that I am still working on. I must admit, I have a VERY hard time drawing Rarity's mane. I also made her a little plumper than she appears on the show. The background was one in four layers with Miss Rarity sandwiched under 2 of them in the middle. Textures were added to age the picture and a light source was added to make Rarity appear to be looking at something.

It reminds me personally about the place that Celestia brought Twilight when she was alicorned. I could see all the Princesses being alicorned for their special talents and the elements that they represent. It's a nice thought to know that Twilight Sparkle wouldn't go crazy by missing her friends once they finally all passed on.

Rarity would make an awesome princess. She is often portrayed as royalty. 

What I like personally about this piece:  I love the color choices for the background. 

What I don’t like about this piece: I goofed up on her cutie mark and also her mane. It's very hard for me to draw.

Please critique, even if it’s not as fluffeh as my art but constructive!

This wallpaper of Rarity is so stunning. The colors are not super bright, which I love. The colors also reflect the colors in her eyes, mane, and her cutie mark. The texture of the wallpaper is also very grainy and majestic looking, which I also love. The effects are beautiful. I also like how you added a lighting difference. The only things I'd suggest are maybe making Rarity a little more eye popping. She's not very popping here because of the effects. I'd also maybe make her outlines a lot more straight. Some of them look a little curved in. Anyways, besides that, there is nothing I would change at all. This is beautiful, good work.
