Hello again... My apologies for the neglect I have given my DA account over the majority of this year. Things have kept me busy and have gone in unexpected directions, but I am recently able to turn some attention towards colorful equines once again. Hopefully I can keep at it to some degree, and I can make good on some obligations in the fandom as well.

As for this image: Just a little visual exploration of the Power of Love and the two characters who are most closely linked to it. I suppose that it's not surprising that it's such a potent force in Equestria, what with "Friendship" driving mad-god destroying energy blasts. Doing the math, Twilight with the power of four Alicorns was evenly matched with a Tirek powered with the magic of every other pony in Equestria. So it seems safe to say that the Alicorns are mighty powerful. And yet Chrysalis, fueled by the true-love from one unicorn, was able to overpower Celestia... and Cadance and Shining, using their own true love, were able to blast an entire army away without the Elements of Harmony or any other artifact.

(I excuse poor Celestia and her forced-by-story-conventions defeat... if she started throwing down the kind of fireballs Twilight was tossing at Tirek she'd have melted all of the wedding guests and half the palace.)

Still, it looks like Love is a pretty potent pony power, so it seems to me that Cadance should get more credit for being a potential badass. Add the Crystal Heart to her arsenal (and that neat crystal-forming power she whipped out in Season 5) and I don't think she's anyone with whom you'd want to tangle.

As for the artwork itself, I feel like it should have been painted onto someone's van in the 70's... As always, I encourage you to check out the full-sized version.

After being told to do so numerous times, I have finally set up a tip jar at Ko-Fi : ko-fi.com/harwicksart
If you're feeling generous and would like to encourage me, feel free to drop me a small amount... it would be most appreciated!
