Description An art request for .

This project has been in the works for a while now, and I am incredibly happy with how it turned out.  The original request was for cover artwork for the requester's Fallout: Equestria sidestory, "Storm Chasers".  After a very productive skype meeting and some rapid prototyping, I began work on this monstrosity.  That was like a month ago (I blame school and stuff.)

At any rate, this piece is without a doubt the best I've done thus far.  It was created in Photoshop CS5 using my plain but serviceable Bamboo tablet.  Some large, impressive numbers (at least for me):

Canvas Size -- 16000 x 11314 px @ 300 PPI
Number of Layers -- 250 or more
Final File Size -- 1.5 GB

There were actually so many layers that I had to split it into two documents -- one for just the characters, and one for the rest.  I then imported the characters as a single layer into the final "background" document.  It was a lot of fun

If anyone else has an art request, please feel free to let me know!

"Final File Size -- 1.5 GB"

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA?! Still cool and stuff!

"If anyone else has an art request, please feel free to let me know!"

I do. But I don't think asking for request is some good thing. (and I don't think I can describe quite well)

This is so cool. The lighting is particularly superb- from the lightning to the sky to the backlighting on those letters-- really excellent work. All of your stuff really deserves more love.

I've been trying to find Fallout: Equestria-related DA groups, but they don't seem to exist.

*shrugs*

Thanks very much though!

This is... I... I have no words to describe how beyond awesome this is. The detail, the dramatic use of light and shadow, the epic scale, the exquisite depiction of the characters, it is all AMAZING. I truly can't thank you enough for creating this!
