sorry, I read a lot of fiction, articles, and narratives. The first thing that comes to me at times is a story I've read that the image really comes to mind.

It does look as though Rarity is lit by a fire and is seated some space from it. I think the lighting looks good for what you're doing there. I especially appreciate all of the subtleties you've added to shadows. If you wanted to enhance the effect of her being by a fire place I would go for less soft blending of the shadows' edges to create more contrast between the lit and shaded parts. Possibly add greater brightness to the lit parts.
The foreshortening on her left arm looks wonky, though I can't quite put my finger what I'd do different to fix that. And foreshortening can be a tricky task.
To start off I must say that pony humanization is a difficult art; I came across many pieces of the sort, most of which made me VERY skeptical about the idea as a whole. Having that in mind, I must say I'm amazed that, despite this, I'd certainly grade your vision highly; the concept is well thought out, complimenting Rarity's character as a whole. It subtly touches on various espects of her personality, making it a very compelling work.
Originality is a peculiar thing, more often then not depending on the reviewer's experience and feelings. As mentioned earlier, the concept of humanization is not new, so one can only grade the envelope such pieces are done in; and yours certainly stands out among these, giving more "feeling" into the whole. While most people stick with a simple presentation of the form, you went further, placing the character into a befitting setting, which makes the project that much more believable. You certainly deserve points for that.
Technique, in itself, is quite astounding - detailed, matured, alluring even, all of which respresent different aspects of Rarity's personality. While giving the impression of being comic book-like with the character style and colors, it's also more matured and dignified, like it was carefully planned and implemented. With a possible exception of detailed, oil painting, it's hard for me to imagine a technique more befitting Rarity's character.
The impact of the piece is irrefutable - while subtle as a whole, it strikes the viewer with a palette of stimulations, playing homeage to the character and her traits - the style and shading makes it enticing, mesmerizing even, yet still managed to remain gentle and sophisticated, playfully mixing the two extremes of Rarity's personality into a consistent whole. Certainly a portrait suitable for a lady.
Without doubt this is one of the best humanizations I've seen thus far and while I'm still skeptical over the idea myself, one can't deny the work you put into this piece. Bravo.
