For his story 'Dominant Species' : www.fimfiction.net/story/92576…

In terms of first day I began on this to finished it took me a bit longer than expected. The hours got a bit stretched across the months. But I think in the end, the result was worth it. Had a massive boost in productivity in this last week, managing to round up all the sketches and concept, then just fly through all the shading and details.

Great scope to work on in a fun way. Had fun designing dragons, for which this was a great excuse haha. (You might've remembered the sudden dragon designs from a while a go, that was mainly because of this piece)

Anywho, hope y'all enjoy the piece, and of course also for those who read are going to read the fanfic tied to it, enjoy the read

Approx time: Total unknown. Shading&detailing ~ 17 hours

This is quite nice!!!

I REALLY enjoyed the massive amount of detail in your painting! The colors and the lighting are exquisite!

The dragon is really well-rendered and clean! ^_^

My only "criticism" if you will is that I felt like the strands of hair on the manes and tail of Princess Celestia and Twilight Sparkle were a bit messy, but actually now that I look at it, I feel like that matches the scene perfectly. Bravo. ^^

So in sum, I wouldn't change a thing! This piece is pure beauty!

(I do have a question: where are Twilight's wings?! 0.o )

I have to admit, I did have a bit of fun with the hair (and the dragon ), but glad to hear it turned out well

As for her wings, this takes place before she got them

Of course! Hair is always fun to draw! My favorite is eyes, no matter what I'm drawing! ^_^

Ahhh, okay. Makes sense lol. I'm still sort of new to the fandom. Joined in summer 2013. ^^

Elder Dragon used Fire Breath.

Yol... TOR SHUL!!!

Celestia resisted Fire Breath - unique power - Being of the Sun - confers 100% Fire Resistance for 20 seconds, once per day.

That is awesome. I love how much is going on, foreground, background, distance, ground, air. Somehow, the contrast in the colors is very emotionally evocative.

wardawn In reply to ??? [2014-10-13 00:46:59 +0000 UTC]

I can only assume they are crying because Celestia feels like she now has to drop the sun on a bitch and that makes her sad.

I don't know exactly what's going on as I haven't read the story, but you can see Celestia's horn glowing. Twilight being bright threw me off at first too.
