Sonic and Rarity 2013

Well folks, here we have the very first pic of Sonic and Rarity in their digital forms. I'll admit that there is a lot of room for improvement, like the shading in Rarity's mane/tail, but I think it came out very decent, considering this is my first attempt at it. I tried to make them as "show accurate" as possible and the end results came out close [at least, in my opinion].

Again, I must ask you if this is how you want my art work to be from now on, or do you still prefer the traditional hand-drawn style. Critiques are encouraged; just don't flame, for that will not be tolerated.

Approximate time of completion: 5+ hours.
