Artist Training Grounds Day 5

Equestria Daily Artist's Training Grounds - Day 5 - Draw a Pony With Wings, Breaking the Sound Barrier. You can find the link at [link]

Dreaded wings, gah. It's why there hasn't been a Rainbow Dash yet, and why my second picture was Applejack jumping when I originally planned Fluttershy. They gave me problems with Derpy, or at least, I wasn't happy with them, but now I think I may have rushed them a bit much (they felt really last minute when I added them.)

So here you have what I call the Sonic Partyboom. Pinkie Pie, with some kind of wing harness contraption which I'm really proud of, even if it makes no sense, breaking the sound barrier, creating a pink boom that bursts confetti and streamers! Whoo! I started getting technical, playing with the different effects and brushes here, using the calligrophy brush to make the streamers, and motion blurs for a minor after-image.

And note the fluffy clouds, using the same BRILLIANT technique used in my last image to craft trees.
