I had a really great time coloring this.
The original is by :iconkamicheetah: and can be seen here :iconarrowrightplz:

I took a few very small liberties in the design. Like I turned Rarity's shoes into high heels, I gave Twi shoes too, eliminated the scroll from near Twi's head, and I'm pretty sure Rarity is supposed to be wearing stockings, but I turned it into a garter instead. I see Rarity as wearing white stockings, and seeing as this is an anthro version and she's already white, they wouldn't have been seen anyway. In retrospect I could have put her in black stockings, but I've always viewed white stockings as classy and black as slutty, so... garter it is.

I really, really like these designs of the characters. Rarity's dress came out just divine, and I adore Twi's round little arms. The lineart for this was absolutely splendid. Give the artist props. I literally couldn't have done it without the original artist.

Bonus points if you can tell what book Twilight is reading.

Comparing the original sketch and your coloured version I have to say that you did a very good job here. The lines are very clean and open. Moreover, even with the main forms of the figures all sketched out you still did well in terms of figuring out the colours and patterns of the clothing. I wouldn't have thought to give Rarity a bright orange dress, and have the top covered with white dots, or pair that with a blue blazer, but it works! And Twi's shoes! So true to character and so cute!

To tell you the truth, I struggled SO MUCH with colors. Especially the color of Rarity's dress, it just drove me up the wall. First it was pink, then it was green, then it was yellow, it was infuriating. I don't know why I settled on orange, but as it turns out, Rarity actually looks really good in orange!

I'm really glad you like it! Sorry if I got any of the colors off from your original thought process. I hope it does your piece justice!

The lines on this are gorgeous! They look so professional and clean. May I ask what program you use?
