Description
Posh, my friends. Simply posh.TheExhorsecist wrote: "Twilight was certainly not a difficult pony to live with. She was quiet in her ways, and her habits were regular. It was rare for her to be up after ten at night, and she had invariably breakfasted and gone out before I rose in the morning. Sometimes she spent her day in her laboratory, sometimes in the library, and occasionally in long excursions, which appeared to take her into the wildest portions of the Everfree. Nothing could exceed her energy when the working fit was upon her; but now and again a reaction would seize her, and for days on end she would lie upon the sofa in the sitting-room, hardly uttering a word or moving a muscle from morning to night except to turn the pages of the book she was reading."

I have never given it a thought before, but it does make plenty of sense for Spike's eyebrows to be scaly as well.
Such a curious thought. I like it.

I had probably given it the same amount of thought before painting this, but it did seem to make sense. I'm glad you like it.

Nay, sir. Swag is but a poor imitation, I say, an underdeveloped, malnurished, convoluted mimicry of the pure, refined class you see before you.

Ah yes, my error dear sir. A thousand pardons on such a blunder. Obviously such must be recognized for the caliber of class it represents.

Brilliant, sir. Positively brilliant.
I'll have to paste this into the artist's comments, if you don't mind.

Holy nutcase. This is freaking awesome.
Those textures. That light. Those tones. That absolutely charming Twily picture in the upper right. That exceptionally expressive fabulously moustached face. And all of it in traditional art form? This is why I watch you, maker. You're badass with this stuff.
