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.

You know, I was just about to suggest making her alicorn, but then I thought of something better:
Elks.
Majestic elks with magical, branch-like antlers. Pokemon X had a great idea going on there. xous54.deviantart.com/art/Xern…

That would be a great idea and I really did think about picking another equine like species, but that would have been too easy considering the horns
looking like tree branches ect. Same thing goes for my decision to not make her an alicorn because she was originally a tree and I consider that more
down to earth. She'd still be extremely powerful for a unicorn though since the tree is the origin of the elements. c:

Heilos In reply to Brutal-Nightmare [2013-12-03 20:24:57 +0000 UTC]
Nah, I decided against the wings since she was originally a tree which it more earthy, I still think she'd be just as powerful if not more so then an alicorn though being the source of the elements. c:

I guess since you put it that way that makes sense, and it nice to see that you put a lot of thought into your work.

I do appreciate everyone's feedback though! And I love doing tons of research when designing a new character, makes them more believable to me at least. ^^

It may be named Ponytree or Treepony(may be too russian english, but it is not a point)
I love this ponification!

This is a delightfully original idea. It kinda reminds me of the ponified Tardis somebody else came up with after a certain Doctor Who episode.

I'm surprised you didn't use the traditional unicorn tail (long and bare with a tuft), but not in a bad way. I tend to go either way with that.
Nice mythical bent to her.
If I have a REAL complaint, it's that her horn looks a bit too much like a can opener.

Heilos In reply to henosis-achieved [2013-12-03 07:30:44 +0000 UTC]
Haha well the horn is suppose to resemble one of the branches near the top of the tree of harmony which was in the same shape. c:
I thought about a longer tail, but her tail hair was already quite long when I imagined it so I opted for an in-between size.

damn i cant internet surf for a few days and I miss all this wonderful art!
what a neat idea, this would have never occurred to me xD or maybe most people, but that shows how creative you are. I wonder what kind of magic she would have and what would happpen if she left the forrest

Heilos In reply to Selective-Yellow [2013-12-03 07:36:35 +0000 UTC]
Thank you buddy <3
Whatever kind of magic she would have would definitely be extremely powerful.
It's an interesting question really, would the forest run amok if she left or can she
never leave even if she has the ability to do so now?
I'll have to think about it honestly haha.
