Description Hehehe... I really need to start authors for permission before I do fanart of their stuff

For those of you who are wondering, this picture is of the ending scene in Variables, a fanfic by The Descendant (he's pretty much my favorite author at the moment; fanfic or otherwise).
It's not my favorite fic by him, nor am I entirely sure my pic matches up with the descriptions in the fic (since I tend to pay more attention to the overall themes and emotional torque than exact wording) but I felt I had to do this pic after realizing the only reason I hadn't read the fic before now was because the (now previous) cover art turned me off it and that couldn't be allowed in my book.

(Also because I thought the picture had been done by a commissioned artist TD had mentioned that said his fic was boring and had ended up doing a picture that didn't match fic, and that peeved me off on a snooty artist's level and made me rant about it's poor quality... Until TD told me he'd done that cover because the commissioned work didn't match the fic enough, and because TD is a writer and shouldn't be judged of my internal 'artist snobbery', I feel like a huge jerk now.)

So yeah. Let me know your thoughts on the pic and check out links below sometime as TD's writing is just so good~

Oh, is it that fic about Spike, a hammer and Discord's statue? I remember it! Actually I read it so long ago, around the time when I actually started reading mlp-fanfics.

Nice pic, sets the mood of "a creature approaching".

I'd say so. TD's been a writer for the fandom for quite a while now and this one is one of his older (and better known) works.

Thank you! I'm glad you like it~

Beautiful piece. It looks very much like the high fantasy world TD words tend to paint in my head.

I'm curious as to what the situation is.

The only way to find out is to read the fic it's based off: www.fimfiction.net/story/2348/…

...Really though, the situation is pretty much the entire plot of the fic and describing it would either end up with me spoiling the story or underselling it (which is problem for all of TD's fics; they're all great character studies and use incredibly fine emotional torque but since he can't risk spoiling the plot, they always end up with really underwhelming descriptions and thus he never gets quite the amount of recognition he deserves).

So yeah. Sorry if the fic isn't your kind of thing, but I really can't say much without spoiling everything.

*Is happy someone else likes the fic too*

And you're welcome, though if you liked that one I'd recommend the rest of TD's fics even more than Variables; it is awesome but it pales in comparison to a lot of his other stories.

(My personal favs of his are On Pins And Needles www.fimfiction.net/story/46013… and Zenith  www.fimfiction.net/story/11678… but his comedies like The Super Amazing Rocket Sled of Awesome www.fimfiction.net/story/4119/… and Bailout www.fimfiction.net/story/2560/… are incredibly fun as well~ )

Ummm... It's not my story, I just did fanart of it. Though I'm sure TD will be happy to hear he has another fan~

And umm... I took a look at your story and it looks like it has potential but I think you might want to try looking into getting a spellchecker or a pre-reader, as there were a lot of typos and grammar issues that made it difficult for me to enjoy what I was reading (I know that makes me sound like one of those grammar Nazi types but seriously, one of them would tear your first chapter to shreds, and speaking as someone who's had that happen to them more than once, you do not want that kind of negativity if you can avoid it).
