~*~ FULL VIEW PLEASE!! ~*~

I drew this for an Art Swap on MLP Arena. The theme was either Earth Day or Spring, so I went with Spring (as I've never been a fan of drawing trees and the like, LOL).

This is Star Catcher, the leader of the Pegasus ponies in the current line of My Little Pony. The Pegasi live on Butterfly Island, and this pic shows Star Catcher emerging from a Hibiscus bush, surrounded by her little magical butterfly friends, with the ocean and sky in the background.

Although ponies are drawn in a profile at least 90% of the time, I always feel like me drawing in profile is a cop-out; like if it doesn't have two eyes, I'm just being lazy, LOL. (I don't feel this way about other peoples' profile drawings, though.) Hence why my ponies are rarely seen in profile. Lame background as always. >_< I could not get the right effect on the rainbow reflecting in the water, so I just gave up and left it as is.

Drawn by hand and inked with a Calligraphy pen; colored entirely in Paint Shop Pro 8.

This is so gorgeous and adorable Greenie. I have to say you make My Little Ponies look cuter than normal.

And I love the little pink stars in her eyes.

Wow, she's so pretty! And the wings, they look so much better than those cheap looking blue things o_< Awesome work!
