Behold, my new-and-improved Rarity mane and tail pattern! :D Of all the ponies I’ve done in the past, I think she is the one who most needed an overhaul. Her tail is partially stuffed now to give it that three-dimensional effect, and her mane is essentially a heavily-modified variant of Fluttershy’s, with a much more natural curve to it than before.
 
This girl in particular has a few special tweaks, as requested by her ever-so-patient commissioner c3h4ohcooh3. He wanted her to be as soft and squishy and huggable as possible (all good qualities to have in a marshmallow pony :-)). So in addition to being stuffed about half as firmly as I usually do, she is also completely wire-free as well. :D
