Description Twilight doing her research with her favorite study companions.

Well this took a lot longer than expected. All those pesky candlelit shadows can be pretty time consuming, but I think the end result is quite nice. I would consider Spike to be in his tweenish years in this picture, hence the oversized ears and feet he hasn't quite grown into.

Five hours all digital

Isn't being nice to Spike like sacrilege?

Thank you so much! I do actually like critiques on my work, alas I don't have the *premium* account. It does take a lot more effort than following the show's style, but I like to challenge myself while being able to share the joy making characters everyone knows and loves. I am trying a new technique so it takes me a little longer right now to get each work done.
