Rainbow Dash Pixel Art

Let me just start out by saying that I had a LOT of fun making this.
There's a good chance that most MLP artwork I do from now on will be on the PC not only because I find this way more fun; I like the results far more than when I try to go fully traditional with colored pencil and paper, too.

I decided to do some Sonic Battle styled pixel art of Rainbow Dash.
Though no tracing was involved, I did have this picture that I attempted to recreate with this from a Wiki page I found(I'll provide a link if you want to compare). It should be noted that I do have a version of this that is a bit more true to the FiM style rather than the Sonic Battle style with shading, that can be found here ->fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/f/201… if you'd like to see that version as well.

Thoughts?Do you like this better with or without the SB shading?Should I expand on the idea of "ponies in Sonic Battle"?
I'd love some opinions, Guys.

Also, here's the image I looked at while making this if you wanna have a glance at that. img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20…
