If you like my work, commission me.

Two hours. Video here.

Next in the JPony series, we have Rarity as - of course - a geisha, in the fanciest kimono yet - I mean, look at her tail! As someone who wears simple yukata and not the more fancy kimono, it probably took her over an hour to get into that - and of course she made it herself. Enjoy the tea houses and the upper crust that will be there, Rarity!

The piece itself isn't as good as AJ, but she's a lot better (really all of them will be a lot better) than RD. The lanterns came out great, and the lighting looks amazing. My only regret is that you can't really tell she's standing on her hind legs. The background looks good but not great, the stone tiles on the wall are a little too flat, and the stones don't look very 3-dimensional, not does it blend well with the ground. To be expected in being done over the course of 40 minutes.

So, what I like: Rarity herself, her expression and her hair, the lanterns, and the shading. It looks like late evening.

What I don't like: the background is a little half-assed, and her fans came out poorly.

As always, let me know what you think!
