Description
New MLP Episode inspired art for my MLP Season 7 Episode Art collection!Season 7, Episode 1: Celestial Advice
So it begins, another season! Kinda interesting to have two standalone episodes as premiere! Since I also had to catch up after going to BABS, I may not end up having one for Episode 2 because of that, but I at least wanted to do this one. The episode was great, seeing some more of Celestia, and also her wonderful amazing laughter hahaha. It's so good.
I had this idea during the episode I was just suddenly inspired to make (planets and stars aligned?), about the connection from Celestia to Twilight, and Twilight to Starlight. It ain't exactly a scene from it, and it's something that's been build up towards since last season, but it still felt fitting for this episode. And to kick off a new season as well.
Initially I just planned to put them in clouds and stuff, but then I thought about space, and my very last and long ago space piece that I did: Guardians of our World
Back in 2013... I remember at times trying to make nebulas again in sketch pages, but this time I went full background with it... and I kinda had a bit of fun with it haha, I just kept going. Had to step back at times to make sure it wasn't too much or too chaotic. Then I also had to puzzle the characters in and their shading. I don't do shading in space that often, so yea. I took artistic liberties with it for sure, but there's also space clouds wrapping around em, so eh... magic fantasy world maybe?!
Anyhow. Needed to finish this before the next Saturday stream, since I'll start another piece then hopefully.
This season does have a different approach regarding routine of art creation. If I really don't feel like there's something worth making, I will not force myself to make episode art. Or not force myself to do a full on massive painting, to remain open for the smaller chibi, or line based simpler stuff too if appropriate.
But hopefully y'all enjoy this piece. I may consider making this one into a print for BronyCon for sure. (And perhaps wall scroll too)
Approx Time: ~16 hours

Hi There!
I'm not sure if you have given any permissions for sites to use your artwork; but I felt I needed to mention that a site is using it for profit.
www.teepro.org/0403--0403-PoNy…
It showed up on my facebook as a "suggested post". Recently, I page that I follow had their work stolen as well and was being sold without permission so this rang alarm bells.
My apologies is nothing is amiss... but I would rather be sure than to scroll past.

It's so colorful! Even by your standards AM this is really colorful! I love it!
The idea of these connections like this, of Celestia to Twilight and then Twilight to Starlight, is a pretty neat move. You're right, for the season seven opener, this is a great time to post this kind of a picture.

Beautiful work, and the episode was a surprise revealing exactly what Celestia went through, then with Twilight and onto Starlight's reservations about the choice that was to be made. In the end, the decision was placed on Starlight's shoulders instead of being concretely decided for her. And we didn't know it till now (thanks to the excellent scriptwriters, hehe) that Celestia's decision on Twi's move to Ponyville wasn't exactly concrete, as a lot of trepidation went into making it beforehand.
But the caveat this time was Starlight had a say and told Twilight what she felt before it went any further (that and an imminent crisis wasn't looming ).

This is a beautifully moving scene. Princess Celestia's happy appreciation even as her faithful student, now equal, lets her emotions flow when she realizes it's time for her own pupil to move onto better things. Starlight Glimmer's almost bashful expression and pose show no lack of adoration for the young princess either.
Of course, it's all supported magnificently but spectacular artwork: the mares all look amazing, especially with the awesome textures and shading for rich depth, and the level of detail both in technique to bring out expressions and composition for all of their poses and movements to match, is outstanding. The night sky with stars and sparkles as they "wade" in the aurora only heightens the beauty and the feeling.
Thanks for sharing this great moment.

It's probably just me, but Starlight Glimmer's ear looks like it's attached fairly low on her head.
