A charming pencil sketch with good composition and characterization (the trees look a bit small, though.) The shading is handled well (yeah, I know.)

Even if it's canon, I'm not really fond of this aspect of Spike and Rarity's relationship, Spike being the slave of an oblivious Rarity (because I can't believe my waifu the Element of Generosity would take profit of such an innocent dragon).

Aside from that, the sketch is pretty solid. Rarity's face and mane are neat. Even without her cutie mark visible, she is easily recognizable. And Spike, well, if you can't recognize Spike, either you're blind, or the author has really f**ked up.

Overall, it's a nice piece. Thank you for your work.

Ooops, it's corrected. That's what happen when you comment while trying to talk to someone. Thank you.

I only mentioned it because it's a word some people don't know, so my comment did not do anything useful* other than reveal meatloaf me to be shallow and pedantic. :V

(*I'm kidding.)

Rarity rationalizes things, since Spike seems to enjoy doing what he does to help her, as a friend. But it's admittedly creepy that a grown mare with a business empire continues to flirt with a baby dragon. He's probably around fourteen or fifteen years old now, which isn't quite so disturbing.

Anyway, I like Sparity. In part because I like creepy things. <3 I just want Rarity to realize his attentions for what they are and for him to eventually be in a relationship with her, even if it's terribly unrealistic. (Then again, I'm talking about a sapient dressmaking pony and a dragon. Realism is relative.)

Aww. This is a really cute scene, and the alt-text just makes it better.

Actually that doesn't make sense. It's easy to read in the shade if the sun is unobscured.

wait I'm overthinking again

Even taking perspective into account, those trees in the background seem pretty small. I guess that's why Rarity isn't just sitting underneath one of them.

I really can't think of much else to say about this one. You definitely did a good job of drawing though.

And I guess you get bonus points for not using Celestia or flying pegasi. :p

>>Trick_Question
Plus her magic is probably giving off some light. joins the overthinking

Thanks to everyone for your comments. I pretty much scribbled this on a sudden whim. I didn't expect the drawing to inspire any stories, cliche as it is, and indeed it did not. No regrets though!

And yeah, I gotta learn to draw scenery ;/
