Collab: Solar Flare

Description

Update: There are now versions of this with no background. Check below.

Heilos gifted me gifted me with an amazing sketch of my depiction of Solar Flare in one of her latest livestreams. Needless to say I took on the responsibility (and honor) of coloring her fabulous work. You'll notice I made several adaptations to really portray what Heilos would have done had she been the one doing the coloring. This involved giving more detail to her ruptures over her body. If there was lineart that she intentionally put down, I made sure to follow what she did. I kept her lines as original as humanly possible. 

She has unintentionally helped me with getting a better idea on how to portray a fiery mane. In my previous vectors, her mane was rather flat and it was more than obvious. Seeing what she did in with her mane and tail, I want to incorporate how her mane is with this in mind.

What I plan to do with this vector in particular is incorporate it into my next picture to really (and finally) put Solar Flare into a respectable setting/background with a goal of the same, if not higher, detail than what you have seen me produce lately. Until then, this vector will not be transparent and will have a fixed resolution. When the final picture is posted, I will provide a stash link to the transparent versions of her. This is specifically because the first picture I want her to be in is the one I have in mind for her.

Lastly, I want to say how great it was to not only watch Heilos make this, but to do whatever I could to return such a tremendous honor. I highly recommend that if you are not watching her, you need to. So once again, thank you for doing this for me, Heilos. I was so thrilled to be able to collaborate with you in making this final portrayal of her! Thank you so much!

In response to this, I gifted her with her own requested picture. She suggested I make something for her OC, Harmony, who essentially is the Tree of Harmony in pony form. You can check out the picture I made for her here: fav.me/d7ms1p9

As a side note, I am noticing that the image is fuzzy when not zoomed in.

Zoom in for a crisper image!

Awesome work! But I do see a black background behind her.
