Description
Celestia Victoria!****
The invading changeling hordes slam into the defenses of Canterlot's gates. Exaggerations abound.
Trying to portray rain in this battle scene along with a larger scale conflict than The Pony Griffin War I did previously:

Now this is an epic Pic, of an Epic Battle between changelings and ponies.

You have rather a disturbing sense of aesthetics, but it's nice to see something different from usual setting. And I just realized I relish this picture very much. I wonder how much time it took to finish this one?

A long time, I work very hard on most pieces that get past cartoon stages. I don't remember specifically.

I want to use this is a background for a tumblr blog; would you mind if I did?

Is there a specific subject you had in mind for the tumblr? I'd like to have more info first.

It's a blog I've been running for months, set in an AU in which the events of the season 2 finale were the start of a much larger war, rather than an isolated incident.

Well my only complaint is I have trouble reading the text, it's such a light grey on white...but that's really not related.
Go ahead and use it, but please give me credit if someone asks/brings it up/etc.

No problem, it all reads a lot better now IMO.
Is it kind of like an online rpg deal? People "ask" things and the story progresses?

Something like that. In theory. There's a lot of those on tumblr.

I'm glad you enjoy it! Thank you for the cakes, although I don't know what they do.

This is amazing! It has a very epic feel. And I like your take on the Changelings, very realistic and more "threatening" than their depiction on the show. Good job I say!

This is awesome. There's something about your style that seems to tell a story; it's as though I'm looking at a tapestry while the action portrayed therein is being narrated by someone with a deep and somber tone. It has the same dark, brooding, yet fantastical presence of those old romantic stories of knighthood and vengeance and the honor and glory of combat. I love it!

Well you made me feel all warm and fuzzy, I'm glad you got that reaction because that's a lot of what I want to portray. A lot of the inspiration comes from the gritty and emotional large scale combat in movies like Gladiator, Lord of The Rings, and all that sort of thing. Your better at describing it though for sure! I've never thought about the deep somber voice though, trying to imagine it now.

Glad you like it, I was about to put one of them in there looking very angelic but I figured it's already cramped as is.

I love your changeling design! Wow! It's a bit hard to see all the beautiful ones in the background without zooming in (and the horses!).

I'll post larger then, glad you like it.
