I think my favorite thing about this is their eyes. I love how their eyes turned out. Angel looks sweet here and not the bad ass that he actually is. haha I wanted to make him look like a precious, little bunny with those big, brown eyes of his. Fluttershy’s hair looks shiny and luscious. I always picture her as a natural beauty. Rarity puts on a whole face to give herself a beautiful, radiant appearance but Fluttershy doesn’t do a thing. It comes naturally to her. I always picture her as the most beautiful one of the bunch.  
She is a very close second in terms of which mane 6 I like the most. I almost drew her first but Pinkie won by a tiny amount. They’re both so sweet and real great friends to others.
 
I couldn’t think of what to do with a background. I didn’t want to just leave it blank. I want to try and do something for my top 3 at least. I’m terrible when it comes to creating a background, even if it’s just a simple one. I was creating gradient colors in Photoshop but it wasn’t great. I saw [this] and [this] as free resources here on dA and they made me think of Fluttershy; soft and beautiful. First I tried one and then the other. Short story even shorter, the Circus by Agaave is overlayed on top of Pink and Florid by semireal-stock. It turned out pretty nice!
