Crap I thought I'd already posted this to FA! Doh!
Sorry for not posting recently. Life has been keeping me busy at work, home and in the studio. Also we have had very sporadic internet cable on occasions. This is a color study I did for a larger piece I hope to do soon. Since that larger piece will require several more complicated elements of color, lighting and perspective I decided to do a simpler research piece first to figure out how certain will work. This is result of my homework. I have never seen Rainbow Dash perform a Sonic Rainboom in my Equestria dreamscape but this is how I imagine it would look just a fraction of a second before it occurred.
I'm thinking of selling this piece to help raise additional funds for going to Everfree Northwest. Yep, I am going to my first pony con this summer. I have my airline tickets, membership and hotel room all worked out. If any my watchers are going I'll be there.
As is typical of my traditional color work it is a primarily colored pencil with some marker, technical pen and gouache added to it. It is done on a piece of vellum finish Bristol Board and is roughly about 9.5" x 12".

From initial concept to final product I would say around 16 hours. Of course I had to stop a couple times and figure what I was doing. Also I tried a new masking technique that I wanted to use on a client's commission, but I didn't want their piece to be the test subject. Good thing I did this one first since I discovered my idea would not work and had to develop a different method of masking that would work with my technique. That one worked like a charm and has lots of other applications that I have just started to explore.
Distractions are distracting. Real life is... distracting, too.
The masking you mentioned -- that's for working on one area without affecting an adjacent one, right? Usually resulting in a sharp(er) division between them?
If so, I'd say you used it along edges of RD's shock wave effect.
