Description
"Oh Spike," Twilight spoke, her eyes welling up with tears as she observed him, once so small, but now a fully-grown dragon. "Look at you, my Faithful Assistant, now Equestria's Royal Dragon Ambassador!... I'm so proud of you.""I couldn't have done it without you, Twi." Spike grinned, his chest puffing with pride. After seeing Twilight's tears rolling down her cheek, he couldn't repress a sniffle himself. He drew her into a powerful embrace, the pony he had served dutifully for years, his best friend, his family.

I was listening to some emotional music and this was the product.
In my Next Gen canon, Spike takes on a more important role in Equestria besides being Twilight's assistant. As the Dragon Lands have begun to undergo reform and development thanks to Dragon Lord Ember, an ambassador was needed to represent Equestria in matters of peace treaties and border settlements, as well as possible alliance, etc. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna decided to propose the role to Spike, who maintained friendship with Ember (whom taught him more about his heritage/culture along the years). With his knowledge on dragon culture (and, you know, the fact that he is a dragon), he was the perfect fit, and Spike readily accepted the title. Looks like he's got another name to put under his belt besides 'Spike the Brave and Glorious', hehe.
This was mostly a quick sketch I dressed up, nothing fancy (I nabbed the background from Google). His suit was made by Rarity, by the way.
That's it for now. Enjoy, guys!
Art belongs to me.
Twilight Sparkle, Spike, and MLP belongs to the Pony Gods.

First of all, for a piece that's "nothing fancy", it certainly turned out fancy. The designs for Twilight and Spike's future selves look beautiful. Spike looks positively handsome and Twilight looks cute with that short hairstyle.
I love this friendship; I dedicated an entire collection to these two alone (which your piece is now a part of ). Twilight and Spike have a bond like no other in the show. Two races who are normally distant are seen together in the Princess of Friendship and her little dragon. They are proof that ponies and dragons can coexist, and I love the little story you have here of Spike being Equestria's Royal Dragon Ambassador.
Something tells me that, even when they're older, Spike and Twilight will always be together, helping each other and staying the best of friends.
Thank you for creating this piece. And best of luck in all your work.

Thank you so much!! Your comment really made my day.
The designs were fun to come up with, hehe. I've always loved their friendship and to be able to explore and develop it further has always been on my list of things to do. I didn't want Spike to be put in the sideline as just Twi's assistant forever, so I thought it'd be interesting if he moved on to something bigger, just like Twilight did in becoming a princess. Ditto to that idea about Spike and Twi always being there for each other.
Thank you for commenting! I rarely get comments like these nowadays, so it was such a nice surprise (I've been reading it over and over again ). Thanks again!
