TUMBLR: heilos.tumblr.com/post/6881340…


Had this idea bouncing in my head over the holiday break and it was too much fun not to draw it. 



Quick back-story I threw together:

A short time after the Tree of Harmony regained the Elements of Harmony, it appeared to show a higher state of sentience due to the personalities the previous bearers imprinted on each individual element along with the magic of friendship. No longer content with being rooted in one place in the middle of the Everfree Forest, the tree used the elements to craft itself a new body based on the last living beings who used them, aka the mane 6, and took on the form of a very large and elegant unicorn with a custom crown, similar to twilight's, that now holds all six elements. Going only by the name Harmony, she wanders the deepest parts of the Everfree Forest, trying to make sense of this new body and consciousness while continuing to maintain all that grows in the forest.


Harmony is a kind soul who is the living embodiment of balance. Just being in her presence brings a feeling of calm and safety to all who approach her. She speaks with grace and soft tones, having an ever so subtle echo to her words. She rarely ever raises her voice even when angry unless provoked in dire circumstances.
 


EDIT:

Since I had some question about her design, I'll say that she's based more off a traditional unicorn with cloven hooves, more fluff, slightly longer tail ect. They're a very beautiful type of unicorn. It's also why I decided against making her an alicorn since I feel the Tree of harmony is far older then alicorns and doing something with more traditional roots felt right.

I am so intensely in love with this concept. Personified magical entities are the best thing in the world, and I could totally see the tree of harmony being characterized like this in a pseudo-religious nature... Maybe I'm getting a little ahead of myself -u-;
It's a beautiful picture, goofy personal fanaticism aside. I want to frame this and put it in my home, honestly!

She almost reminds me of Xerneas from Pokemon X

I've seen some really neat crossovers regarding the tree of harmony 

and Xerneas so I'm sure there was some subconscious inspiration from 

pokemon x here. c:

hmmmm...... kinda like the idea. though it does defeat the fact of it being a tree.
also it does not maintain the forest, it restrains it. aka, there are things in that forest so powerful it takes a God Tree to bind it.

An alicorn just didn't fit with the theme I wanted for this design and being such an old tree, 

I felt a traditional unicorn that was very powerful was far more interesting. ^^

JustAnotherFan4 In reply to ??? [2013-12-06 05:05:43 +0000 UTC]

Everything looks so good this pony's shape and color are gorgeous! BUT the only peeve i am really having is with the crown. It's just really flat, the gems show no dimension, the line art for the topmost crystal doesn't point the direction the crest conveys. The little details there is the only thing i really have to comment on, but other than that, this is a really nice piece. Good job!
