Description This is an entry for contest by  You can find it here  Contest!!! (Reward: 2000PTS)
It's time for another contest! I said I would do these once a month, but, I will probably do them more often, depending on finances and such really.
Anyway, the reward, as it will probably always be, is 2000PTS!
I had this POLL up and it was a very close call between 'draw a scene from my short story' and 'draw your own OC', but the winner was 'draw a scene from my short story'. 
The next contest will be 'draw your own OC' though, followed by drawing my OC Vast Abyss.
Shout out to the person who voted for "other" and then didn't specify an idea in the comments, kinda frustrating.
Anyway, here are the rules:
- You must draw a scene from this story 
(the story is as short as possible, it's about 3000 words long, it is written very poorly and I'm sorry about that, but, I'm not a professional writer so lay off me. Yes, the short description

I recommend you reading this story  SixBefore getting into it, this will be the story used for an upcoming contest, the contest will be to draw a scene from this story.
It's not edited, it's written badly, it's not the most amazing thing in the world and it's why I have also made a shorter version which just describes each ponies life, it's not the ideal way to enter the contest, but, I know not everyone wants to read a 3000 word story.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask them, if you have questions about the ponies, ask them, if you spot loose ends, ask about them, if I'm an idiot and made a mistake that contradicts something, then mention it, just don't be a dick about it as I haven't written this to be perfect.
Here's the descriptions: http://sta.sh/0qutui6z1h4

“Today's the day!” Interstellar squealed with joy.
“I know, Inter, you've been going on about this for days now, in fact you've been going on about this since Miss Cheerilee brought it up to the class.” SuperNova rolled his eyes to have some clue of what this picture is about or what I'm gonna talk about here.
Seriously, read it! It's much better than the author gives himself credit for.

It was hard.
Choosing a scene to draw I mean. At first I wanted to draw the fight between Gravity and Vast. But that would be too generic. And also it would have too many characters for me to draw.

But then I fought of this scene and just had to go with it!
I was slighty unsure at the beginning about drawing his cutie mark. So I did a little reading of those character descriptions you gave us aswell and found this:

(...)Myst used his incredible flying abilities and his amazing skill to see in the dark to navigate the storm and succeed at wrangling the clouds and send them away, he earned his cutiemark during the ordeal.
Thank you Ren! That's all I needed.  

Also screw you for giving Myst this ridiculous haircut . Even gradient hair was better than this. 
So I'm sorry if his mane looks a little different or wierd. I tried to make it realistic while sticking with a reference. It wasn't easy...

Hope you like it. 

OC "Myst" belongs to BeyondRen

I know, Right?  

It was my first time making this kind of storm scene and it turned out nicely.

This looks so cool!
I'm surprised that so far I haven't actually seen any entries for Gravity and Vast's scene, at least you thought about it xD
Ha! The haircut! Don't even get me started on his freaking hair cause I agree, gradients are a lot easier xD
I'll add to the journal asap ^-^

Yeah... the fight scene was one of the ideas but in the end I decided to go with this instead.

The hair here was literary the closest I could get to reference. I spend most of the time trying to figure out how his hair works.

Funny thing. I noticed someone adding this do faves folder named "derpy". I guess Myst is very similar to our derp horse.

I plan to fix my references and such at some stage, I've just been lazy and then this stupid game came out and I'm hooked and I work so much nowadays that my free time is minimal and it's just awful. His hair is a pain in the ass to work out though, usually I can draw my OC's without my references, but, his hair is just annoying and I forget because it's soooo complicated.

Myst is all sorts of derpy cause he's a lil' shit xD

Well if you're drawing lineart or vector then he's not a problem. But when I draw him in style like this one than I gotta do them from scratch (and that is a nightmare )

Also don't say that. he can hear you, you know.

He's a bloody problem for me even when I do vector xD I go crazy from the sketch to the final line art xD
It looks like a nightmare to do, you have a very unique style, I couldn't replicate it if I tried, don't think I would want to just to save my sanity xD

Considering he is based on someone I know personally, it wouldn't really surprise me xD

I.... think you could if I had you in front of me and explained you. There's not too much to this method.
The harder thing is to learn how the hair acts in different scenes. Which isn't a problem with canon characters cause their manes are already made more natural and mane-like.
But Myst... Well his mane doesn't make sense.
