As a person who has been interested in the character of Star Swirl, and one who is open to any of the several background theories that surround the character, this piece of artwork really stands out to me.What I love most about this piece is the papers flying around Star Swirl. The papers are in chaos, and are just being tossed around, perhaps to show what is going on in Star Swirl's head.The expression as well really works here, you can see the mad glint in Star Swirl's face. This is a character that just wants more and more power, and he is giddy that he's learning all of it.A final piece of interest to me is the fact that Star Swirl is levitating himself with magic (is he jumping?), a feat that hasn't been shown extensively by any character in the series, a testament to Star Swirl's power.Overall, a very compelling and interesting piece that show's the artist's unique style and the Star Swirl character's implied fall from grace.
