A Gift from Rarityby *AleximusPrime

Not one of the 'sibling love' comics, but it has no text just like them because obviously no text would be necessary.

I really needed to do something mistletoe related with Spike and Rarity for this holiday season, I'm just sorry it's a bit late.

But this turned out great anyway and I am getting much better at drawing Spike!

Hope you guys love it as much as I do! :3

Needless to say, its a really well drawn job

What I really need to say is the following:

What caused me the first impact of this was when present, the little sheet of paper had written on it "look up". In my opinion that fact was unexpected indeed, and very good for a short comic like this one

The result I saw of this scene was even better than what I expected

I think the fact of how Rarity managed to kiss him was very original from you

Oh, and one more thing:
What most call my attention was the drawing style by itself...not only you drew these two characters with a really nice style, this also shows me that you used a simple tool

Let me tell you something, I really like comics like these that can be well drawn without shadings, or some other features like that. You did a job well done with a simple tool...but with your drawing skills...I think that wherever you are, even with the oldest Paint in the existence, you can do this nice drawing

The effort you put on this gave you the technique

Please continue with your good work

Sincerely, asluc96

Where do I START? You have certainly outdone yourself once again, so I'm going to try to sum up how I feel.

The comic is extremely well drawn. I'm glad I noticed the improvement from you, you've become a master at drawing MLP. I can also clearly tell from the background where they are- its Sugarcube Corner.

The idea is something I've also not seen before, not on DeviantArt, Tumblr or Ponibooru. So the idea was simple, but its adorable, so I give points for that.

As I've said before, you've become very well-versed in how to really draw these characters, Spike especially. It looks like it could become a scene from the show.

It's adorable, its Sparity, its a beautiful comic. Bronies will certainly love the comic, shippers will have a blast with it. I can say that I literally had my heart racing from sheer cuteness.

You've certainly outdone yourself once more. Its heartwarming and well drawn, with kind and innocent idea behind it, like how MLP should be. It's stunning and simple, and for that I'm very impressed with your work.
