Description "Twilight Sparkle! Ancient magical artifacts are NOT toys!"
Β --
Here is the third and final part of my miniseries focusing on young Twilight Sparkle, wherein she discovers the repercussions of meddling in the affairs of wizards. I suppose you could call this one a cross-over. For those who can't tell, this was inspired by "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" from Disney's "Fantasia". www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHTnJN…
I must say, though technically the first one painted, on 3/13/13, (dear God, a year and three days ago) this one is my favorite. Just look at that face. That is an expression that I will be proud of for a long time to come. Also, fun little bit of trivia, there are exactly sixty eight books in this picture.

The best part about this pic has to be Twilight's face. Her expression could not have been captured any better.

Don't I know it! This is actually my second attempt at this idea. The first one quickly went pear-shaped when I started on the background, but there were a lot of other flaws that were best fixed with a restart.

...This may be my favorite piece of MLP fanart ever. It took some guts to reference such a prestigious animation, but you pulled it off in spades good sir.

The Fantasia reference is amazing and it never would've occurred to me! Dunno why it makes me so happy, but the beautiful art and cute expressions surely help.

Yeah, the parallel popped into my head the last time I watched Fantasia and I just had to draw it. Β
