Anyone else think we should get the best writers in the fandom to get together and write this one? It would be f***ing amazing.

Dear god, these images are absolutely epic! I know that term gets overused, but I really mean it...these are absolutely stunning.

Nice drawing ! Maybe Luna seems a bit too vulnerable, but I like the whole thing !

... I insist... Luna is way too attractive in this series... I might have to ponynnap her....
This seriously needs to be a fic or comic... It's got great characterization and the images themselves carry lots of untold backstory.
I'll watch you now, k?

Nice! I love it when people portray Derpy as a sort of war hero, eye patch included! Sky's a bit empty, but perhaps that for the better to make people focus on the touching scene. Well done!

This makes me think of 'Equestria: Total War' on fimfiction.

Luna is crying and Derpy is wearing royal regalia. There is a story behind this image, and I want to know what that story is.

I still hold that this is a war with an outside enemy, assuming this is taken in context with the war room image. Both Luna and Derpy have lost those closest to them. Dinky, in the first attack, and Celestia in the final gambit.
I imagine this is soon after Celestia's gambit has failed and word of her and the Mane 6's demise has reached Canterlot. Luna is heartbroken, having to take in the fact that her sister is gone and that the fate of Equestria now rests on her shoulders.
General Hooves sees her distress and comes to her aid. The General has come to terms with the loss of her daughter and channeled those feelings into the protection of Equestria. As a show of support she swears herself to Luna's rule and promises to help her defend Equestria, as she always has. All she asks of Luna is the courage to lead.

You, sir, need to stop with the tantalizing one-shots and start making a webcomic out of this. Your art is amazing, and it's obvious that you have a story to tell. I'm sure most everyone here would read it; I know I would.

I know whats going on here! EP you may have everyone else going "Wait wut?" But I see where you're taking this little comic of yours, and I for one am quite pleased. It will be an epic journey that my blood BOILS to see!
This scene is amazing, and really shows the Generals loyalty to the sisters and to the country. I'm REALLY looking forward to this comic of yours, all these teasers are really building the suspense.

A good fanfic to read that's inspired off this idea is Equestria: Total War which can be read here :3 [link]

I love this. I don't know what's going on, but I love it. Much symbolism here. I hope one day you reveal it. Or not, mister Troll.

"This was not a victory. The cost was too great to call this a victory. We may have driven the enemy back -- perhaps for good -- but we left ourselves in just as sorry a state as we left them. Were it simply my own life I held in my hooves, I'd proudly do it again a thousand times. For Equestria. For you, Princess. For...for Celestia. But it's not. It's the lives of thousands. Ponies with families, Princess. Ponies with hopes, ponies with fears. I sent scores out to be cut down and scores more after them -- the young and the brave and the foolish, charging off to lose their heads. I've been at this a long time, Princess. But I can't do this again. This was not a victory. Not for my regiment, nor for Equestria. We've lost too much."
"I understand. But please, I require time to think. I'll speak to you after...after the coronation tomorrow."
I mean, That's what I got from this. GET ON IT, WRITERS

My eyes teared up at this piece of prose...it conveys the picture so beautifully...I wished it was a written piece.
