Hello everyone!
 
This drawing took me quite some time to plan actually since it’s my 2nd and this time even more serious entry for EStories’s “Style your G5 MLP Art Contest”, which you can find over here: “fav.me/dcxg415”:fav.me/dcxg415
 
 
You know me too well to know I would chose Rainbow Dash and Spitfire together, don’t you? :P Heh, indeed^^ I heard rumors about Rainbow and that she’s planned to be more tomboy-ish or even more masculine in G5 (can’t tell if these are only rumors or fact already) which suits me just fine to be honest^^ I can imagine her to be with a mare even more because of that and Spitfire is the best choice if you ask me :chuckle::P  
I gave Rainbow a short mane cut and even shorter tail, a different coat colour and some markings, that resemble her speed and agility, some markings that make her look closer to her element - the lightning bolt/dashing through the skies. I also followed that example in her cutie mark as it now doesn’t have the cloud, still is a lightning bolt in her well known rainbow colours, but they have speed lines instead to show how fast she can get. The wings of that Rainbow Mare have gotten more colourful and fitting to her mane and tail to still keep her somehow feminine while being tougher than her G4 version. I also made her a little taller than Spitfire, trying to make her look more protective and strong to hold her beloved mare whenever she is in danger.
 
Spitfire is a slim, smaller character than her strong mare friend here. She is even more dynamic, zappier than we know her already and looks a little more free as a whole. The pegasus mare’s orange coat got some markings that remind us of flames, fitting to her name and hot, flamey personality. The vibrant red mane resembles the hot fire she can call herself among mares and her seductive part as well. I decided to give her accessoires like sweatbands and cuffs to give her the look of a professional athlete just like her cutie mark represents her agility and maneuverability in the air, being able to pull of the most amazing tricks.
 

 
I think I said quite a lot already, but I can tell I had some intentions while working on this piece, that I’m really happy and proud of^^ The process of experimenting around was so enjoyable and I’m pleased with the final result. I’m looking forward for your feedback there!
 
Time: Around 3 to 3 1/2 Hours
