Artist’s description from DA:

When I saw this pose I felt like using it for another pony as part of a larger project, but I figured for once I’d do the original pony first before I do, for fans of him which include myself.

While I’ve vectored Thunderlane in this uniform in the past, this time I thought I’d make the straps on his goggles black like they are in the show.  Back then his darker straps stuck out since he was the only one in the entire group to have them, but I didn’t realize how important it was for them not to blend in with the pony wearing them until I used the brighter strap color on another pony, also with a dark color scheme, and saw how ugly it looked.
