HAPPY LATE NEW YEARS' EVERYPONY!

Well this was certainly a learning experience! I have no doubt that most of the lighting I applied is somehow wrong but to me it looks passable. I tried a lot of new things with this, obviously the biggest one was the actual shading which I'm rather satisfied with for a first try!

An inspiration for the style was Equestria-Prevails' awesome work and hopefully in time, and with practice, I'll be able to get closer to that level.

Once again, thanks to the stream watchers who kept me company and gave me advice and to DoktorRF for helping me fix my blurs.
