Season 6, Episode 7: Newbie Dash

This was quite the episode. Some cringe worthy but amusing moments, such as the Mane 6 impressions by Rainbow Dash. Seriously, though, one of the big parts of this episode, that's a bit emotional, is the fact that she actually made it into the wonderbolts! That was a dream since season 1! She… actually did it. Gotta give her that at least, a bit of pride for her, but then again her ego might slightly overshadow that haha. Either way, that's quite a long standing dream to be achieved, even if we did kinda expect at least something to happen.

Congratulations Rainbow Dash (or Crash)

Some great moments overall, and still a lesson. Something they still manage to sneak into episode ever since the beginning of the show. Sometimes feeling a sense of isolation, loneliness, or something along those lines, not realising that you're not alone. That others may very well be going through the same thing. But also that it's ok to make mistakes, it doesn't have to define us, but it does depend on how you handle it. RD had a rough start in that regard, but eventually it played out nicely.

As for the art process of this one, a bit longer piece again, although I took a long time with my sketches haha. I sketched all four of them out, slowly, but then I had to stumble over actually painting them… It helped they had the same uniforms… and the layering of the ones in the back teehee. The brushstrokes and details remained somewhat rough because of that, no real close up pass going over it, but at the same time, the scene allows a bit of that. Weighing the choices based on the fact I complete these in one session, and try to keep it manageable heh.

Approx Time: 11-12 hours
