This is the next entry into series 4 of My Little Mages. Shining Armor as an Ardent. Choosing Ardent as his mage class was pitch perfect. Not only is an ardent a magical armored defender class, the definition of the word "ardent" means impassioned.

In Shining Armor's initial sketches, I tried to work his cutie mark design into his chest armor. But that ended up making him look like some kind of fantasy themed Captain America. So I worked them into his gauntlets instead.

You say "Fantasy-Themed Captain America" as though it were a BAD thing! You could have given him a shield with the star, as well!

But yes, the gauntlets are a far more elegant choice.

As a question, where are you coming up with these various classes? Some of them are obviously derived from the classical Dungeon Fantasy array, but some are wholly unfamiliar to me -- such as "Ardent". Your description makes it sound like it's an existing class from some other source.

The Ardent is a tad more obscure. I'm really not that into D&D but I do find that it has a huge pool of character classes to choose from. Some of them, however, I do just make up like the MuffinMancer. And for Rarity as the Enchantress, I altered what an Enchantress is for her.

I agree, please draw Cadence :) But i am here for another reason, i am new to Deviantart and the first project i hope to do is MLP themed swords, so like, pony colors and cutie marks for the swords. The first sword style i was going to do is a Zanbato Blade, a large blade meant for cavalry... kind of ironic and weird, but that is all i have currently in the way of wood and money. So i was here to ask for any and all ideas you guys would have :)

you should do cadence, the cake twins, sombra, star-swirled the bearded (note twilight dresses as him in episode 4 season 2) and some more background ponies too.
