This is the first of two Rarities I have been commissioned to draw for a friend to give as gifts (he’s getting the hard copies). I was hoping for a little more variety, but apparently both giftees have Rarity as their favourite.

Anyway, this took a little shy of 5 hours to do and as a result, is among the best pencil work I’ve done to date. Done with the usual 2H-HB-2B trio using my older shading style.
