I loved Rainbow Rocks! I wasn't crazy about Equestria Girls because in part because the story didn't feel like it had a compelling reason to be told in an alternate universe, but Rainbow Rocks felt really justified and went to interesting places.



Unlike some I didn't go head over heels for Sonata but her goofy nature presented an appealing art concept. I liked the idea of the Dazzlings being sirens but their actual siren form in the film was far less interesting and fully thought through than their human forms. So, my idea was to present sirens that looked far nearer their human forms while still retaining the idea that they are powerful sea creatures. It was a lot of fun. I think they're even more adorable. ^_^



Also this gave me a chance to paint an ocean, which I've never done before, and was surprisingly easy! I had a lot of fun with those rocks in the foreground, too.



Finally, I spent some time deciding on the kind of ship in the background. I thought a sailing ship or schooner would look too "good guys" so I settled on a viking ship. Kinda hard to feel bad for taco vikings.
