Earth Pony

phew, this took a long time to make... more time than I'd like to admit . This was a very ambitious drawing I've been working on bit by bit over the last couple of months. Because of all the time I spent on it, I feel like it should have come out much better. I tried a ton of different shading technique until I grew to like this style, and I still have no idea how to draw good looking lava .
Either way, this is my first mlp fan-art. Maybe I'll come back to edit this to fix all the flaws I see in it, but for now I've spent so long on this piece I might as well upload it and call it a day . I hope you all like it!

Edit: Wow! This already made it into drawfriend stuff!? Thats so awesome, I didn't even do anything . Thanks EQD!
Edit 2: That lava was pissing me off, this new lava should work for now
