Friendtastic Four — Description
Thought I'd break into the non-equalized versions of these ponies with the big group hug! Though, I'm only submitting this roughly three hours before the airing of the next episode...

On Derpibooru, there are some three different names for this grouping, namely, "Cutie Finders", "Equal Four", and "Friendtastic Four". I personally don't mind which one sticks, heck, I might do three different works of this specific group and title them each with a different one. No promises, though.

Double Diamond's ski boots were pretty tedious but I'm proud of how they came out, with as little clutter in the actual vectorwork just as I like. Even though you can't see it, I vectored his cutie mark, just because. I also took the liberty of fixing errors found on him and Sugar Belle, mostly having to do with their manes, but I also shifted his legs a bit so that they're actually on his other ski. Double Diamond's mane switches to his "equalized" model, but that's obviously wrong, so I put his actual mane from the same view, and the layering of Sugar Belle's mane relative to the rest of her head appeared pretty erroneous, so I worked off another one of her frontal views to vector her as she looks here. Her mane and the beads in them looked a bit squished in the screencap, so I also took the liberty to un-squish them and keep them circular. The way Night Glider's head looked in the screenshot compared to Sugar Belle's for the same head angle confused me a bit, but I went with it—by that I mean that Sugar Belle's far ear is layered over her main head shape, but it's not the same case with Night Glider. Though, I personally think it still looks okay. I even changed her wing to the model that looked tweened when animated rather than frame-by-frame, but I already do that normally.

Party Favor was neat-o compared to the others apart from a bit of liberty taken with the layering of his crest relative to his torso, so that it'd be layered under the neck but above everything else.

Time:
Party Favor (Far right): 2 hours
Double Diamond (Center-right): 5 hours
Sugar Belle (Center-left): 3 hours
Night Glider (Far left): 2 hours
