For this piece, I decided to shake it up and draw both of these characters together since I imagine they would be inseparable on the dance floor.
With Cadence being the Princess of Love, I decided to center her outfit around that concept, using frequent reds and pinks in her outfit. Along with that, I decided to her make her outfit a bit more scandalous than the other outfits featured in this series. I’ve noticed a common joke in fan works of making Cadence the more lustful type, not surprising since lust and love frequently come hand in hand (but aren’t exclusive to each other). With that, I decided her would make her outfit a bit more revealing and suggestive to reflect her supposed lustful nature.
As for Shinning armor, he’s outfit is a bit more straight forward, if a bit less symbolic. Although Shining Armor is one of the lesser interesting characters to me, I did want to put some effort into his outfit. While it was simple, I do find it to be the best fit for him. Some standard rave pants and going shirtless on the dancefloor, showing off his toned body as well as being on a similar level to his wife Cadence.
For posses, I wanted Cadence’s pose to be more exaggerated, so she would no doubt be the life of the party in the rave scene. While Shining Armor’s isn’t as over the top, I still wanted to depict him having a good time, especially since he gets to spend the night with his beloved wife. Plus I personally imagine him pulling off some great moves on the dance floor, that athletic body has got to count for something.
PS: this piece too far long to finish than it had any right too.
