Description
In which Mezame and Celestia have a frank exchange of ideas. A commission piece for Mezame9 , who would like me to inform you that Celestia is not a villian and this is all just a big misunderstanding.
This is, if I understand correctly, a rendering of a future scene from the comic she's working on.

Once again, massive shading skills. Oh, in my head, massive means "very good." Haha.

I'm not sure if you want any sort of critique, but one thing that bugs me is the characters almost appear to be floating in some places, not properly grounded, from the lack of cast shadows where hooves and tails which cast them meet the floor they cast their shadows on, which I would suggest darkening at least at those points, and the perspective is off in some places, noticeably the carpet and pillars, as well as the size of the characters in relation on one another, specifically Twilight, who should be smaller than the guard closer to the vantage point, but the same size or smaller (not able to quite tell because I of her physically being smaller) than the guard behind her, further from the vantage point. I'd suggest playing around with one point perspective, or two point perspective, next time you're drawing the interior of a building. It can take some time, but the results are so worth it. Great job on the colors though.

Darn. FOUR guards holding this earth pony like that has to be a hint of something bad, and A Failure to Listen? Celestia, what are you doing?! Are you not listening?!

Wow, just what could one earth pony do that could possibly result in this? O_o

I'm that earth pony
If you'd like to know the full story I could tell you
I'm currently drawing a comic featuring the story behinds this scene.

Yes, I would like to know, please. Feel free to tell me via note so it doesn't spoil anything for others if you wish.

Ok, I'll get the note together now
I'll try to make the story as brief as possible, unless you'd like it a little more in depth. But other wise I'll just sum it up in a few paragraphs. I know it can be tedious to read too much at once.

Details are fine with me, that way I know I'm getting the entire story and fully understanding all possible aspects of the situation.

Ok
But it is a long story, so I understand if it's too much for you to read when I'm finished with the draft
Did you get the note?

You'd like to know how Mezame the earth pony got in trouble?

Well, you could read my story as I write it, but that might take too long since this scene happens in the second part and I'm only onto the first part.
So, if you like, I could send you a note with a short story in it

Oh, a note would be perfectly fine.

My thought was more like "what could Celestia have done for her to be so upset?"

Well, I'm the pony in the picture. If you'd like to know what happened I could tell you the story

I really like the lighting here. Gives the picture a really interesting atmosphere.
