OC: Alpenglow

I decided to have another go at my OC Alpenglow using what I know about inkscape now, and I like the angled (3/4?) view.

Legend says Alpenglow was quick and agile, dead silent even in his armour, and brought light and hope even in the darkest of times, which was reflected in his cutie mark and the way in which he carried himself. His armour, shield, and sword were said to shine with the light of his namesake, and possessed mysterious powers bestowed by the Royal Sisters. Unfortunately, those too were likely lost forever with the knights. Not much else can be said about Alpenglow's fall, or what ultimately became of the last of the knights. One can only imagine the burden such responsibility and loss saddles a pony with...
