Description Twilight Sparkle, sad thinking about spike growing up.

Based on the fantastic series of sketches found here:[link]

Inkscape used to create the vector, Gimp to render the lighting effects.

Definitely my most time consuming (and gratifying!) 'vector' yet.

I'd love feedback on this one!

Some day he will....

But will that mean goodbye, or merely new beginnings?

It's what seemingly makes Generation 4 more likable because of its oftentimes unspoken yet very emotional conveyances between characters. Spike and Twilight Sparkle are more like a mother and son whenever Spike is sad about something (Owls Well that Ends Well for starters), yet at the same time whenever one of them is feeling terrible about something that's going on (Say Lesson Zero for example) their relationship is treated just like that of brother and sister and it makes total sense in this regard. My only regret is the fact that despite this nature, why is it that Spike doesn't possess an Element of Harmony so he could become more centralized in big events or undertakings than just as a form of support? With his unique outlook and perspective he might have the potential to become a 7th element (NOTE: this is taken from the perspective that Season 4s first 2-parters, which I haven't seen only heard few discerning details about, never happened)

It's ok Twilight. Don't cry, he is not going to grow. According to second series, he is not going to grow up before he get a lot of stuff.

True,
But I still think he can age naturally.

Whenever I see stupid memes like sweetiepoo and various pony abuse, cupcakes-related stuff, les-yay shipping and all that....

I decide to look at art like this, close my eyes, take a long deep breath and say to myself "This makes my bronydom worth it."
