Description Had this lying around for a while and wasn't quite sure what to do with it so I touched it up with some spare time I had.

I had lots of things planned for what I wanted to to for April fool's this year. Given how much work I've been going through these past few weeks,Β I didn't manage to make the deadline.
There were plans that I had made since November of last year, and I just regret not doing it earlier and saving it for the day. Ohh well.Β 

I promise the next piece I upload will be a lot less gloomy. (:

WIP:


Time Taken: 3 hours
Programs: Photoshop CC 2017
Tablet: Wacom Bamboo CTH-670

Something for

So she is an evolutionary advancedΒ insect. Still an insect. Probably related to Breezies and Flutterponies. Yep, Equestria got some big bugs.
And technically, humans are monkeys. And we are co-existing with Dinosaurs. That's Cladistics/Pylogenetics for you.

What? She is not an insect, She is an intelligent creature, capable of abstract thinking, experiencing feelings and emotions, She is cute and good.Β If She is an insect, then you are a monkey -_-Β

Another Fantastic piece!! ^w^~

And personally I don't mind darker tone at all!! Not all Arts need to bright and drawing in black is actually really hard to make it clear and meaningful while not making everything just cover in darkness. What I mean is - You did a Great job! ^w^~

Ahh thank you, catname! ^^ I don't usually meddle with colours and themes like this, but I think it came out well! I totally get what you mean by clarity when using blacks. It got a bit out of hand in some parts, but that's what practice is for!

Probably won't be doing more of these darker theme paintings for a while though. Not a huge fan of them unless I'm feeling a little experimental or strange

Oo I remember this one! You showed it on stream one time, which was really neat c:
You did a super nice job on this! Love the composition and the atmosphere. Those spiraling clouds look awesome, and the towering changeling hive over Starlight looks awesome.
Love it, amazing work here!

Ahh thank you so much, Vanilla! Even I must draw something a little dark every once in a blue moon it's a relief to hear you enjoy the composition and spiraling clouds! Those were my two main focuses on the construction of this piece <3 thanks a bunch! ^^

Mm, I'm having deja-vu here... Β 
This painting was great already at that WIP stage I first saw it, but now it looks just epic! In addition to the meticulous architecture and placement of the different elements of the drawing (which I had already noticed back then), I see that you very also very careful and fastidious in the choice of colors At first sight, one could think this is a rather monochromatic picture (except for Glimmy Horse over there ), but actually by taking a closer look you notice the many different shades of grey, which you used very well to convey the idea of: A) a very rocky, spooky and desolate landscape and B) how light plays on the uneven surface of the rocky spurs. Speaking of light, I like how what is supposed to be in full darkness is actually in full darkness, and how things further away from the hive are instead a bit or a lot brighter according to their position

Great job, Lolli! I was about to say that it wouldn't be surprising if this got featured on EqD, but from the comments I gather someone must have preceded me

Ahh thank you so much, Lenny!!! Im perplexed at how closely you inspect the artwork not that it's a bad thing, but quite the opposite! A lot of detail is hidden at first glance, so thanks for really taking your time with it, and the response <3

yeah, I don't know who sends it in or how it finds its way to EQD but whoever it is, thanks!

Hehe, I can't help it: when an artwork is good, I feel the urge to analyze it and point out what I like the most! And when there's a lot of things I like, well, you get it (And that's why my comments are always too long )
Don't mention it, you're very welcome!

I'm buying you a microscope for your birthday. That way you can see every pixel in its full RGB value!
So my favourite thing about this is that pixel on 856 x 456 with the R206, G54, B165 value. It's just so unique! adds so much personality to it!

But yes, thank you for all your comments XD I love em all dearly!

The shadowing is on point with this pic. The hive looms over her, making it so much more intimidating. I love it

Aww thank you <3 When you put it that way, it kinda reminds me of those cartoon evil figures with the really elongated shadows. I totally meant to allude to that.
