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.

Oh my gosh! That smile Twilight has on her face! They didn't have this one in season one. Twilight was not always a quiet and studying student. She was a filly after all. Good thing, Celestia is there to take care. You did beautiful work on Celestia and Twilight in this. Nice inspiration for this.

Awesome piece.

I saw a Trixie pic that had a similar idea Here. And you know I think if Trixie was a former student of Tia's I think that's probably how she got kicked out too much abuse of the magic & being lazy.

Unfortunately I feel that Tiny Twi lost a lot of her cute giving that grin.
Would have been more powerful an artwork if Twi was genuinely scared & remorseful rather than Spongebob scared & remorseful.

The-Wizard-of-Art In reply to MoppyPuppy [2014-03-19 04:55:28 +0000 UTC]

I am inclined to disagree. I tried a more"genuinely scared" expression on my first sketch and quickly realized it contradicted the tone I was going for. So I discarded the idea in favor of a more faithful adaptation of the source material.Β

Meh, I think Mickey was pretty frightened, also it'd be pretty awesome if Celestia wound up and just *THWACKED* Tiny Twi on her way out.
