Description First off, I knew it was gonna be epic but I was totally unprepared for just how epic it was going to be. This new season promises to be spectacular! I can't wait to see the rest of it! I just can't contain my excitement!

So yeah, Discord. I think it's safe to uploaded this now that everybrony isn't worrying about getting spoiled with what Discord looks like anymore. At least, I hope they aren't. Well, if they do know what he looks like now, I know a lot of them didn't like what he ended up looking like in the show but I personally love the direction the pony team went. The Draconequus, that is to say, "Dragon Equine" design is truly unique and, like others have mentioned, not just another Nightmare-Moon-esque copycat character.

His voice actor, John de Lancie (aka Q from Star Trek) did a fantastic job! When I first watched the spoiler clip, I was even giddier to watch the first episode. I love that this new villain is a trickster, probably my second favorite type of villain, only topped by the intellectual type of antagonist you often see matching wits with the protagonist in a story.

I also loved the fact that, at the end, he took out a reversed umbrella. Its inclusion was just so random. I loved it and just couldn't not add it in my image.

BTW, the title has nothing to do specifically with the image. It's just undeniably my favorite quote and scene from the premier episode.

Also, just so you know, the background colors were taken straight from the labyrinth itself. I'm so original. /sarcasm

Anyways, I think I've rambled on about the first episode enough today. Time to actually be productive and work on all these college projects of mine.

... SIGH...

Enjoy the art!

EDIT: Jiminy Crickets, I am such a nub. It's dancing, not standing! FIX'D FOR ALL THINGS PONY!

Loved Discord. I felt he was the right mix of trickster and intellectual villains. Like Loki and Doctor Doom mixed together. He's random and crazy to fit in with his chaotic goals, but smart enough to isolate the mane six, dominate their minds and decimate their harmony with one another. This first episode is the ultimate proof that they are making episodes for bronies. And yes that was the most awesome umbrella ever, it meows. screw the chocolate rain, I want the upside down umbrella that meows when I open it. Can't wait for ep 2...now I have to watch the Part one again...see you in brighter days!

Or, to be a bit more laconic: Discord is Q for the Ponyverse.

I think I've got something... No matter how you turn it, you can't make Twilight become by herself "not magic". However, why would "devoid of magic" be the actual opposite from "magic" ? Couldn't Discord tempt her with "science" instead ? She loves knowedge. Make her trade "magic" for "science" ! THAT would be how Discord tempts her !

Nah... He just has to ruin her Friendship. In the Ponyverse, all Friendship may be Magic (but require talent to focus into doing something specific), but not all Magic is Friendship.

John de Lancie has proven just how random he could be on Star Trek in a few episodes, and I love that he chose to do this. I bet he had as much fun voicing Discord as I did watching him ^_^

Excellent drawing of a despicable villian, Superbly voiced by John DeLancie.

I feel like we all should tell Hasbro to make this the DVD box cover for season two.

He's the ultimate puppet master.

Discord's a complete a-hole. He deliberatly cheats in his own game, can alter reality to his liking, and even turned Fluttershy cruel. That's why he's an awesome villain.

Beau-Skunk [2011-09-18 03:25:03 +0000 UTC]

I love this, and yeah, he's proven to be a great villain. I also like how you have him with his backwords umbrella, and a Twilight puppet, like the pony puppets he was playing with earlier in the stained-glass window image of him.

A Gif of Discord dancing in the window is saved on my HD as "Discord just does not give a fuck".
