Sun Worshipper color

This is the piece started on my Picarto stream a few weeks back. Well now that the Holidays are over I decided to get this done and ready for the Further Confusion art show. It is my typical colored pencil, with a bit of technical pen and some gouache. So this is more or less what one of the images looked like that Petina showed when she gave her presentation one night in my dreamscape of possible anthro pony picture I should consider doing. 

Things I learned doing this piece:

1. Celestia's mane is difficult to do.

2. Tequila Sunrises are easy to do.

3. Celestia's mane is difficult to do.

4. I'm getting better at bird wings

5. Celestia's mane is difficult to do.

If you are detecting that her mane is difficult to do, you'd be correct. However I wanted to get some more practice rendering it in color before I start on the color version of Sun Chariot

 Edit: 1/24/16 Also because of comments and general interest I went and list the framed, original art of Sun Worshipper on EBay   It is a 7 day auction. Follow the link to get further details and information.
