Description
Hey look, I actually got something done and up in a timely manor.So with the end of MLP FIM here, I really wanted to draw something up to celebrate its passing. Yes its sad to see it go but honestly I was worried the show would go on so long it loose what made it good in the first place. I mean I do think may hav egone on a few seasons too long but what we got was still good in many cases, and there was some truely amazing episodes that reminded me why I started watching in the first place. So its only fitting I post a illustration on the last day the final three episodes aired (in america, I know and saw snippets of the final episodes taht were in a different language but I don't count as they weren't officially TV broadcasted in America). And who better then the two sisters who started it all setting off as the land glows with their passing as monarchs.
I had pondered drawing up the mane six as a way to say goodbye but couldn't think of anything good. But it felt right with Celestia and Luna, the image for them came to me and seemed so appropriate that I could not draw it up. It took some work around considering my job but I'm happyy I finsihed it up and it came out so beautiful. Luna and Celestia are surprisingly easy to draw though some hiccups did occur with the wings. Coloring was mostly easy too though Celestia's mane was a little bit of a struggle. As for the back ground and shading, I had pondered doing it in the "My little Pony" style but opted to do it in my own. For one, I didn't have the time or patient to do multiple attempts at something I didn't intend to replicate in the future (consideirng my job and all). And two consdiering how other artists depicted many of the characters and scnes outside the shows stlye before, I felt it was fine to do my own style. And you know what it came out great.
I don't have much else to say beyond that. Sad but happy is what I think and I really don't think this is an end to the fandom. If anything this is only a beginning to what is to become. Now with it concluded there so much more that can come from it. I really hope it continues on into a shining new era and I hope we never forget all that it came from and what it meant to us.

It looks so beautiful and they look like they're in "harmony" jk. I love the feathers and would have liked the Epilogue to be a two-parter. Just make it movie length for all the parts and see more of the other characters were absent like Zecora or show more Zebras. ;-;

I would have liked the last two episodes (End of the End I think) ben a little longer. Think its wrapped a little too quickly and it felt rushed in places. Also the reasoning for Discord bringing the villains together was STUPID! I mean wouldn't it have made more sense to have him bring them together in hopes they'd find friendship with each other and maybe realize they don't need to concur Equestria if they have a mutual relationship. That would make more sense and be in line with Discord's character as he'd be attempting to spread friendship (and do what was done with him) onto other villians but his lack of understanding would ultimately fail. I just don't like how they treated him there really irked me.
Otherwise I was happy with its conclusion and how it ended now before it became too stale. Could have been FAR worse.

It could have gone the route of Star Vs. or some of the other shows. I would have been pissed if they had. Now I would have enjoyed it with Discord trying to reform the other villains as a nod to him being jealous of Twilight Sparkle with the whole "reform everyone she comes across" deal. That would have been in-character but I had been hoping that Grogar was his own villain instead of Discord in disguise. I loved all the easter eggs in the end and bringing together the past, present and future Mane 6 groups. It was very much a good representation that friendship can be a constant as long as people take the time to reach out and be a friend to others.

Yeah. Though I wonder if they had written themselves into a corner with Grogar being so strong and over powered he might not been easily bested. I mean, if he was the creator of monsters, could you imagine his arrival might have gotten other beasts and creatures that wanted like the old time coming out. A small army lead by each of the factions of Cozy, Tirek and Chrsy while Grogar just plowed through it all. Meanwhile the forces of Equestrian are divided with the three races suspicious of each other only for Twilights students to rally them. NOW that would have been an epic showdown!
But I think the writers may have been limited with what they could do in the short time given. And the fact that they may have made the group too powerful with Grogar at the lead would make things har. like writing themselves into a corner in a similar fashion to how DBZ ends up making bad guys immortal then not knowing what to do. It would explain why Discord was shoved into that role. Either way I think we can agree that having Discord there really soured everything after a good run. Not the worst but certainly could have been better.

It really could have but at the same time, I would have loved to see Grogar attacking Ponyville first, going through Fluttershy's sancturay to merge her animals to create the mythological creatures, that we saw in Tartarus with Tirek, with Grogar creating the windigos to be the ghosts to keep with the Necromancer idea. That could have led to the trio of villains seeing what a mistake it was to go against the friendship ideals but still begrudgingly say "I'm not going to accept your ideals however I like living". I mean it would have been better to let Chrysalis, Tirek and Cozy Glow understand kind of the concept of at least allies and let them go the Tempest Shadow route. Let them explore how they could change themselves or where they went wrong in their lives then reflect.
I mean really back in Season 2 episode 1, Discord is made into a hypocrit now because he had Celestia and Luna turn a pony into stone. Everything he's had for character development has been dashed because he went from a creature of chaos to just a sociopath who understands there's rules to follow and he puts on a mask for Fluttershy because he wants to stay free as result of this. The writer's had the option to kill one or two of the filler episodes since it is the end of the series unless we get more from EQG's world which people still don't consider canon but the comics are?
Been meaning to ask, Sombra's voice. What was your thoughts on it? I think they could have gotten maybe someone deeper to be him or someone suave.

I often write better endings without the build up to said endings.
