Hey everyone... remember waaay back when I said THIS? http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2189857/

I had my idea for MLP fanarts? Well THIS was what all that was about. And AGH, IT'S DONE FINALLY AAAAAUGH I GAVE BIRTH TO IT IT HURT SO MUCH and was tedious to no end, amma gosh... but.... :} I'm calling it done. But oh my gosh, so many challenges and new things learned in making this. FOR EXAMPLE IT IS SO IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE A CONVINCING LOOKING SUNCROTCH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
....lawl their massive watches... cx And yes, Joe Don Rooney has a cross and three cutie marks on his hoofband on the left, Gary LeVox ("The Voice") wears a Celestia cutie mark XD, and Jay DeMarcus onna right is wearing A CORN COB AMULET. Lawl. cx And I know, limited clothes, and weird hind hooves on him but he always white sneakers anyway. If you want this to look better you hafta pay me to fix it, I'm so tired of it @_@
I woulda streamed the finish of this, but with so many effects, huge 3K x 3k layers, and blends turned on, it was like trying to move a boulder, it was so slow at the end. @_@ Aaagh, well now all you peoples who watched my stream know what the end result is! And it's gonna be a very VERY VERRRRRY GRRR long time before I do anything this insane again, I have so much else in life to catch up on. @___@;

It's been such a long journey, and this combines two very cool um, cool things. Rascal Flatts and pony. c8 And this is an homage to them (more than parody) by the cover of their newest album, Nothing Like This. I loved how close I was able to come on this to the original which you can compare with here: http://derpy.me/zla8o In many places yah, I'm off, but in other places I did come close.

If there's one thing about Rascal Flatts, is that they're masters of tugging on your emotions and stuff... the day that someone makes a pony music video to one of Rascal Flatts' sad songs, the world will flood in tears it will be so sad XDDD and awesome. If you've ever listened to any of their stuffs, you know that what they sing, and how, would soooo fit easily with MLP. *beams* :3 Anyway, this is lots of vectors and stuff with burning and dodging in Photoshop. Font used is Steelfish, from http://www.dafont.com/steelfish.font . The album cover design belongs to uh... whoever the album artist is for Big Machine Records, hee... n.n;

P.S. I'm still fighting with the color profile on this pic, I may replace the image a few times to get it looking right.

P.P.S. Hey! Want to print this out for your existing copy of the album? I specifically made this image at ~600dpi (~3000x3000 pixels) so it can be printed at very high resolution on gloss paper and shown off in your CD case! If you want the top-res printable JPEG version, note me with your email and I'll send you it! :D
