[TUMBLR] Ask RD Family - Spitfire Cutie Mark

It’s really really been a while since I was thinking about Spitfire cutie mark…
I think probably since the time I did Soarin’ one…

I wanted to do something special for her. I mean being the captain of the amazing wonderbolts… Something a bit badass XD

But the problem was what exactly… I wanted to do something else than a wing or a thunderbolt for a change.
I wanted to do something else than fire but I couldn’t get of the image of the phoenix in fire chasing Spike since the the last episode (Dragon Quest).

Seriously phoenix are awesome (yeah I’m repeating this word a lot ) and so graceful too. So I took this direction…

Of course I didn’t wanted to draw just a phoenix. It wouldn’t have make much sense. But instead, I traced a sort of dynamic arrow doing a loop. Then I added fire around the arrow and few other detail to remember the phoenix…

Well I hope the result look nice XD
