After a LOT of time and effort, here it is! The piece I've been eagerly wanting to submit since I created this account! Human Karateka Rainbow Dash!

Thank you to and , among others, for your help and support while I drew this piece! You guys are awesome! /)^3^(

This is a re-do of an old WiP that I never finished. I started it again after someone on BronyNet caught wind of a game between myself and a Slavic friend of mine and wound up sending me the original picture unintentionally.

We occasionally post amazing art of the other's favourite pony (his being Applepone and mine being Dashie, surprise surprise) on eachother's walls and announce the scoreboard (the Teams being Australians and Slavs). This third person joined in for the Slavic team and didn't quite get exactly how we did it. I basically wound up with a bunch of fairly common Rainbow Dash pics posted on my wall.

Among this though, was a very crappy WiP of mine from late last year. I was astonished as to where they'd got it from. I inquired and they said a friend sent it to them (who I'd sent that to back when I was drawing it.). They talked highly of the piece, not making the connection that I was the one who'd drawn it. I felt special (hurr).

They encouraged me to finish it and that's exactly what I did! I completely re-drew it and I ended up with what we have here today.

There are some errors with this and I'm not very experienced with backgrounds (I only did this one quickly, too - well, quickly for me), but I'm proud of this piece and hope you guys love it as much as I do!

Critique it if you like, I will appreciate the help but will likely not make any major changes to this piece. Instead, I'll keep the help in mind for future pieces.

Trivia and trash:
- I spent a lot of time wearing my own karate uniform while drawing this.
- About an hour or so of that time would have been spent tying and un-tying my belt in stages as a reference.
- The eyes are my Waifu. Those eyes x me are my OTP. I decided this while scrolling past them while zoomed in far enough that they filled the whole screen.
- I based the Dojo off the one in 'Call of the Cutie' and originally planned to have more equipment in there (including Dash kicking a bag suspended from the ceiling), but decided, for several reasons, to remove them unless I feel compelled at a later time to add them in.
- I was going to put gold writing (either Japanese characters or just 'Rainbow Dash') and maybe a couple of Dan stripes on her belt, but once again, opted out unless I'm compelled to add them in later.
- I have two signatures in this picture. One was just a bit of fun for this picture and the other (below Dash's hair) will be the basis for a recurring signature. Also, no, that's flames, not some kind of Saiyan hairdo in that sig, I hope it comes across actually looking like flames.
- I love pictures of Dash in martial arts gear or ancient Roman/Greek armour, human or otherwise. If I do draw something of her in Roman armour, though, don't expect it to be soon or have as much effort put in to it as this.
- The kick is a bit of an exaggerated Yoko Geri (or side kick). The foot is meant to be positioned so that the outer side strikes the target. So, in case you were wondering - no, her ankle isn't broken, but someone's windpipe might be collapsed if they got hit by it. ;3
- When starting this, I intended to mix soft and hard shading, even together on the same lines (as I've seen in some awesome pieces). As it turns out, though, I'm too much of a derp to do this properly, so there's only a minimal amount of hard shading.
- The full version, the one I drew on, is exactly twice this one's size.
- I've said it once and I'll say it again: No, you are not getting a naked version of this picture and yes, sssubsstantial bribess ARE out of the quessstion.

Done in SAI
Time Taken: Ungodly (I'm not the fastest racer in Cloudsdale).
