RareTreasure

I had gotten a lot of mixed reviews from friends after season one, saying that I should basically skip most episodes except the ones that were Rarity-centric. 

I still continued on and, unpopular opinion I suppose, I really loved the last episode of season three. Yes, the season was quite a lot shorter than the other seasons, but I don't think it was lacking for that reason. Maybe it's because I'm watching it through Netflix and there isn't as much concern for me about how many weeks of new episodes I'm seeing, but I think some seasons stretched even a little thin after a while. Then again, I also come from an anime background where 12-13 episodes per season is really commonplace.

All of the music from the episode was awesome. I love the bigger voiced songs (maybe a bit biased being an opera singer/choir member for several years). They just seem to be so well done, and I love that about the show. There's something for everyone. Twilight's coronation song was awesome. "True, True Friend" is constantly stuck in my head at this point. I'll tip my hat for all of the music. I do also understand that, for some, musicals just aren't everyone's thing. 

It was probably one of the more emotional episodes for me. I didn't like Twilight for the longest time. I found her pompous because she was "above" the whole friendship thing. As time went on, though, I started to like her more without realizing I had. Strangely enough, I am a lot like Twilight in a lot of ways. Anyway, I digress. I cried a little. There, I said it. I found this was one of my favorite episodes in the series thus far.

I've been following this story religiously. It's absolutely ridiculous that this culture where the victims get blamed because the people who should be protecting them are perpetuating violence through inaction is still a thing. I want to give this kid a hug and the most epic brohoof.

I've been there. I've been that kid that liked something in my targeted age group that others thought was strange. It's hard. But people on, say, the county's Facebook page, saying horrible things such as "parents need to stop raising pussies and fight for themselves with a good old ass kicking" are also perpetuating violence as a solution. I'm sorry, but not every kid is a violent person. Grayson likes MLPFiM probably because it teaches the magic of friendship and solving problems in ways that don't involve fists and bloodshed.

I could really go on for weeks about this, but I really hope that Grayson will find some awesome friends that like Rainbow Dash too.

Thanks, everyone! I'm continually working hard to get better at my craft. Also, if any of you are coming to the Tampa Brony Con, I will be there for painting the faces!

I'll be applying to be in the artist alley for this! All the body art for all the ponies! Can't wait

Looks rad dude, do Rainbow Dash next!

Oh look what just happened on my face today. ;D

Rarityyyy! She's my favorite. I would probs buy a Rarity hat too. 

Also Celestia and Luna would be pretty.

These are lovely, by the way!

Im awe shocked at the moment!

 

Also, very excellent choices with going with rarity and celestia!

 

Especially rarity, I might get a face paint by you one day then! XD

If you're ever at Busch Gardens in Tampa, FL, come on by! ;D

Now this is certainly something new.  These are both lovely and I do hope to see more of these soon, as I always enjoy seeing new forms of artwork floating around.  I am especially fond of the Celestia piece and how you have the wings painted around the eyes; very elegant.  Great job!

Thank you so much. I have more that I've done in the past somewhere in my dense art folders, so I'll post those and any new ones very soon. c:

That's so cool! I love the Celestia one, it looks awesome!

Thanks! It's my pride and joy, haha. Definitely one of my favorites I've done on myself.

Hey everypony! This is basically a dump of some of my favorite face paints that I've done in the past year or so, including my Pokemon face paints. The Charizard is my pride and joy, hahaha. My boss made me stop doing them after about two weeks, so that's why you have random X&Y characters and then a stop at Wartortle. 

Sorry for the body art spam everywhere! I promise this is my last thread for now~ Hahah.

I'm gonna be all over this art forum with my body art stuff... But here are a couple of my MLP face paints that I've done! They're constantly getting better, too!

Critique and awe welcome. c;

(aaaand I apparently can only find two, but here you are!)

Hmm, let's go with...

1. "Let it Go" - Idina Menzel
2. "Sonrie" - Gloria Estefan Feat. Laura Pausini
3. "Scintille" - Annalisa 
4. "The Four Seasons: Winter" - Antonio Vivaldi (this got performed by the Florida Orchestra the night of my birthday one year... Needless to say, I got the most expensive tickets I could get and cried)
5. "O Magnum Mysterium" - Morten Lauridsen

There are so maaaany! Especially because I typically separate classical works from pop/jazz tunes in my list of favorites. :3

Hey everypony! 

I just wanted to share some of my henna work with you all, and maybe meet some of you who may also practice this particular art form. c:

Enjoy!
I have plenty more than these, but the following are just a few of my semi-recent favorites from 2013.
 

Aside from the above comments, your lines need to be more smooth and fluid. Granted, it is a sketch, but good line work is the base of any piece of art. 

Your general look of the drawing is going in a good direction, though!

It will be very interesting to see how everypony matches up!

In the meantime, I'll be over here rocking out to Beethoven's 9.

I just want more Rarity songs. Is that too much to ask? I love her singing ; A ;

Thanks, Cherribomb and JellyBean  

It is kinda rare to find an opera singer nowadays, isn't it?

Welcome to the forums, I hope you enjoy your stay

 

If you need any help feel free to add / PM me =] 

Thanks, Skylar. I'll be sure to keep you in mind~

I simply love how sassy she can be, but she's always willing to help others. I see a lot of my own characteristics in Rarity.

She's fabulous, she sings, she has mad style... All of the great things in life!

I've always been partial to fire and/or dark types. Dragon is awesome, and fairy recently caught my eye and I'm enjoying using my fairy types so far.

I think if I absolutely had to choose, it would be fire.

Welcome! I, too, and new. I hope you enjoy your stay here, this is a great bunch to hang out with here.

I hope so too! c: Thank you.

I wasn't too sure what to expect. I got made fun of during movies where trailers of it played in front of other movies by "friends" so, because of this, I was a little bitter and didn't see it until it was finally added to the Netflix family recently.

I actually kinda liked it. I liked the comic as well, which I ended up purchasing after I had watched the movie. I think it's interesting that they decided to do parallels instead of having the other ponies follow her into the new realm. It made it a little less predictable of a film.

Overall, I'd say 7/10. Not fantastic, but still enjoyed it. The music is constantly stuck in my head.

Thank you both. :3

I sometimes don't feel like I have the coolest job, but I guess that's due to the people I have to deal with sometimes, hahaha.

Since I'm new to this forum, I suppose an obligatory introduction thread is in order.

I'm Rare Treasure, but everypony can always call me Rae. I'm 20, turning twenty-one on February third (yay!). I am studying opera in university, and have a job as a face painter and henna artist.

I haven't been in the Brony/Pegasister fandom interactions much, so I'm happy to meet you all!
