Description

when i created her and designed her cutie mark, all i knew is that i wanted it
to have some resemblance to her father's cutie mark, as well as i wanted it to
be silvery and represent her talent. i was completely unaware of caramel's cutie
mark at the time, and like my good friend CastoroChiaro said: "There's several
ponies on the show with repeated cutie marks, so I say it's honestly more true to
canon to keep it as it is. An hourglass shows up EVERYWHERE, for example." so
please don't comment on her cutie mark. 

this is a character you will be seeing a lot more of. i'm planning on drawing her a lot,
telling stories of her past and maybe even a couple of comics. she was originally a foal
off a breedable between my erin go bragh and HitMeWithBrokenLeave's texas,
though texas will not actually be her mother.

Where do I begin? The coloration is absolutely perfect, the blue contrasts nicely with the tan while the green matches the tan. Her eyes are quite piercing, she seems like that southern belle who has a doctorate in kicking flank. The accessories are quite fitting; practical, simple, yet somehow they add another layer of complexity. I love how you did the backstory and information, that just adds so much to the character and makes you feel like you know the character that much more and can connect with her on a personal level. Well done, I would like to use this format for my concept art in the future, if that's okay with you. Definitely a favourite!
