Description

It doesn’t matter if she is a pony, a human or a giant cucumber eating monster that loves David Hasselhoff, Dashie is always awesome!
 
 
I wanted to try making a somewhat realistic, but still a little stylised (like something you’d see in a Disney movie) version of human Rainbow Dash and this is the result.  
She has a whole body, but it isn’t rigged yet, so here’s a portrait for now.
 
Made in Blender, rendered with Cycles.
 
 
—————UPDATE 1—————
 
I improved the facial expression a bit.
 
—————UPDATE 2—————
 
Changed the lighting a bit because her right eye was too dark.
 
—————UPDATE 3—————
 
Improved the shape of the mouth corner and the nose.
 
—————UPDATE 4—————
 
Changed the position of the ears and made the cheeks a bit narrower.

Well, I did start my comment with “Ignore this if realism wasn’t your goal;” but I’m glad you took the time to read a comment from a guy who knows nothing about any kind of art beyond “I like this” or “I do not like this” anyway!

Still a little too uncanny valley for me, but then again, no worse than Polar Express. The fact that you’re trying to improve says a lot. I couldn’t do this.

I uploaded an updated version and it got merged, but unfortunatelly it’s the older version again. ^^;  
The new version had more evenly lit eyes and only one reflection dot.

Since other people are providing constructive criticism I’ll join in (Assuming you’re going for “Realism”; if not then ignore this whole comment.)  
Overall, the skin seems far too “Smooth”; like there should be bones or tendons sticking out but they aren’t.  
The amount we can see of the right side of her face seems excessive, given the angle, which tells me that the front of her face is probably a little flat. Orr…No, maybe the right side is slightly lower? I’m not sure.  
Back on the subject of tendons, her neck suffers heavily from a lack of definition, and could do with being a little thicker. Her ear is another spot where things seem too smooth; most ears I look at RL seem to go inwards and back slightly, whereas you have a slight downward slope.  
Your work with the hair, though, is absolutely perfect by my eye. Eyelashes are perfectly imperfect, so to speak. If I hadn’t seen somebody mention this pic in a group chat a few minutes before I wouldn’t have picked it as CG.  
In summary: Nice job, dude or dudette. Among the most realistic CG arts I’ve seen on this site. Next level is the artistic equivalent of passing the turing test.

Thanks! :) There are still quite some people who seem to be creeped out… :/  
One thing I just noticed, is that her right eye looks kinda swollen, because it’s too much in the shadow. Gonna change that….
