Description Commission for:


For over the past year and a half since Courageous-of-Light  started his fanfic series based on MLP: FIM, there have been quite a few villains that Twilight Sparkle, Courageous Heart, and all their friends have faced on different occasions. Each one proved quite a challenge for the little ponies:


Tirek, The Supreme Master of Darkness ("MLP: The Light of Equestria". 2012-2013): Escaping Tartarus after a 4,000 year old imprisonment, the Dark Lord easily captured most of Equestria and it's denizens. However, even with all the power of Darkness at his command, he proved no match for the combined might of the Bearers of the Elements of Harmony and the Champion of the Light. (Resembles Emperor Palpatine from Star Wars).


(From Left to Right)

1. Queen Chrysalis, Ruler of the Changelings ("A Change of Heart" Part 1 and 2. 2013) After failing in the past to take Equestra, the Changeling Queen tries once more to use deception to take Canterlot...disguising herself as Princess Celestia. But just when she almost had it all, she was defeated and restored to the side of good thanks to the Friendship of the Mane Six and Courageous...as well as the Elements of Harmony. (Resembles Ursula from The Little Mermaid).

2. Grogar, the Emperor of Tambelon ("The Miracle of Friendship" Part 1-4. 2013): Formerly a pony named Firmhoof, this wicked demon ram took over the paradise island of Tambelon long ago...in the name of his master, the Dark Lord Tirek. Many Generations later, Grogar crashed the wedding of Twilight and Courageous...only to be defeated later by the power of the Light and Elements combined. The island was later returned to the paradise it once was. (Resembles Shao Khan from Mortal Kombat).

3. Don Oro Dinero ("The Mare in the Mask". 2014): Rich and corrupt, Oro Dinero always has plans to steal the wealth of the kingdoms he may visit or move in to. Use clever tactics and the laws of the land to hide behind, this greedy unicorn knows nothing will get in his way...except for his family's sworn enemy: The Masked Mare. (Resembles Don Rafael Montero from The Mask of Zorro).

4. Grenadier Apple, Witch of the Black fog Forest ("MLP: The Future is Magic" Volume One. 2013-2014): An outcast of the Apple Family, the "Black Apple" is a cruel and wicked witch who is obsessed with being all powerful and beautiful. She once attempted to capture Tambelon Castle and succeeded the second time. But even with her victory so close, she underestimated her enemies at the very last second...and was defeated by Courageous Heart. She lost her eternal youth and beauty, and was imprisoned forever. (Resembles the Evil Queen of Snow White).

5. Scorpan ("History of the Hero" Part 1-6. 2013): Formerly a pegasus named Stoutheart, Courageous Heart's father, he was captured by Tirek long ago and transformed into a demon gargoyle to serve the Dark Lord. Over the years he gathered new servants for Tirek's cause, and later encountered his son. Stoutheart was later restored by his son and the power of the Light that was bestowed upon Courageous when he refused to abandon his father. (Resembles Darth Vader from Star Wars).

6. Don Porsha ("Pride of the Prancing Ponies". 2013): The Dark Dancer of the Kingdom of Shamrock, Porsha speaks with his hooves more than his mouth when fighting. His sworn enemy is Tap Step, a dancer much like himself and Courageous's foster father. Using the dark magic within his mask, Don Porsha almost had Equestria in his hooves, until he was defeated by his rival and his superior dancing skills. (Resembles the Dark Lord Don Dorcha from the musicalLord of the Dance).

Very awesome. And it's funny, but if Tirek still existed, then i could see these guys/gals as his generals. And considering he's still pretty much the big bad of the series, or at least, the biggest most influencial villain of Courageous-of-Light series, i can see this working.

I do have my own villains that resembles others in a way.

Villains that do resmeble another:

The Oculus Lord (resembles Deathwing From World of Warcraft: Cataclysm and The Overlord from Lego Ninjago: The masters of Spinjitzu)

Polar (resembles The wicked witch from The chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the witch, and the wardrobe)

the Black Cross King (Resembles The Lich King from World of Warcraft: The Wrath of the Lich king)

Trigon (resembles Jafar from Aladdin and Voldemort from The Harry Potter series)

The Villains That don't resemble any villains as of right now:

Malefor

Vortax

Dr.Postwar

EON

Tirek (G4)

Grogar (G4 and my version)

Lord Firestarter

You did a very splendid and excellent work involving the way Twilight and Courageous together faced all the threats that endangered and scarred the balance of Equestria and the world, yet in the end, the mighty forces of order and righteousness prevailed!  There may be more, we may never know, but as long as these heroes exist, no darkness or evil and not even death itself can claim victory!  

9/10 for the depth, mood capture, characters and structure. The only downside is that you're missing Twilight's cutie mark.  

Live! Wake up! Wake up!
And let the cloak of life cling to your bones!
Cling to your bones!
Wake up! Wake up!

Beautiful work drawing Chrysalis in particular I LOVE how you drew her eyes, especially with that green glow you've given to them ^_^ Also, beautiful work drawing her mane, as well ^^

Courageous-of-Light [2014-06-13 16:02:38 +0000 UTC]

Wow!!! This is SUPREMELY EPIC!!!!

Yeah, ever since I started my fanfics that rose in popularity over time, there have been many villains that have crossed paths with the Mane Six and Courageous Heart. Each one proved a real challenge and almost won the battle...but in the end, the power of Friendship, Harmony, and Light saw our heroes to the end and save Equestria from danger. It's been quite a ride from that point and more villains are bound to appear when we least expect them to.

Thank you so much for this wonderful and awesome picture!! You are a natural, my friend!!
