This one was in the back-burner for quite a long time now. It's essentially my take on a vector image re-rendered in traditional methods with Copic Sketch markers. Because I love Copics that much over digital... And Rarity is one of my favorite for some reason (maybe it's the artist in me that relates to her sense of design and such, although hob-nobbing with snobs doesn't appeal to me).

For the background, I tried doing the airbrush thing again, but there were setbacks, one of which was that, in compressed air cans, they get cold and create frost on the nibs, and the other was that the small can I got was good for one 8.5x11 inch paper, so I ran out of air before I could do the other half of the 'radiance' effect DX I either need to use the more bigger cans or save up for another air pump system (I can't seem to find my old one, and I think sis basically second-handed it). Either way, I need more practice if I really wanna do it this way... and find some online tutorials, maybe.

No vector references were used, but the screenshot from the episode "Sweet and Elite" was used for the base (traced, yes, but thanks to the Brony community and Faust, they brought on a whole new meaning for the concept).
