I've never tried to make anything this big before, so there is a LOT of first try stuff here: the ocean, sky, beach etc are all airbrushed which I have no clue how to do, so I can't really tell if it turned out right. It probably all looks OK individually, but I'm not sure how good the picture looks... as a unit. You be the judge.
Oh, and Pinkie's hair. It's wet so I had two options - give her the totally straight hair a la Pinkamena, or retain the curly element of her mane. I chose the latter.
I got the idea to do something summer themed from this group contest: [link] Edit: Contest is now over, grats to all of the winners! Even though I didn't win I was still glad to participate and make something so far out of my comfort zone.
This is Great, all the ponys are Amazingly done, With how you made them all was Perfect, Love how you spaced the 3 less Physical ponys on the sand and the Energetic ones playing in the water, All i can say is this is Amazing and Great :3
