After making Applejack in this style, I thought Rarity would work in it as well. So I did.
While listening to some fitting Ludovico Einaudi.

I made Applejack fancier based on her Applejewel appearance, but how do I make an already fancy pony fancier? Hairstyles of course!. I got in a hairy situation, but I managed to brush myself out of it.

I'm having too much fun with these ears haha, there's something enjoyable about them, getting that mix between human, horse and stylistic elements. The entire face shape in general, though. But the ear is more noticable in comparison to some other designs I've used.

Going into 2016, I actually did not expect or planned to do this style again. It was a nice surprise on how well it seemed to work for me. I had the same feeling a year ago with the figurine style. It just kinda happened, and worked.
