Some finale art, or well, for this season's specific episode art schedule.





Time to remove some spoiler filters and actually use some social media sites fully again.





I knew there was something off about her, but the actual reason was still a surprise, which was great. I had a feeling there was an influence from someone else, but I didn't think about Tirek. Although still some questions about how communication allowance in Tartarus works and such... but other than that, they covered a lot of plotholes for sure which I always appreciate.





That Cozy, tho, darn she embodies the danger of when young folks know their power and abuse it. I've seen it myself, when a kid abuses the fact they're seen as adorable and innocent by some, not capable of evil, while they silently become the most evil of all.

Cozy even monologued twice about her evil plans! Twice!



So much stuff tho, they tried to show Starswirl at least had some part, the princesses, Neighsay, crusaders, mane 6, students, crowd/mob, Starlight, Tree of Harmony, etc.

Lots of links to different old seasons, packed full, but in a way where it still ties everything together nicely in a acceptable logical way. Not copping out with making characters stupid (Crusader's plan), the entire turning the crowd on Neighsay was good stuff.



Also... Pinkie Monkey Pinkie



There was so much stuff, I wasn't entirely sure what I wanted to make, but Cozy being the main villain, and having a picture of herself, I thought that'd be a good one to go with. Also because it presented me with the opportunity to go with a more historical style again, considering the entire empress and power position she was going for. Made sense to me at least.



Kept the shading somewhat simple tho, bit quick, with the focus of trying to overly embellish her "cuteness" more than I might usually do. Such as avoiding the deeper harsher shadings on the face, almost entirely flattening the eye socket and folds. Bigger rounder eyes, puffy round, and so on.



Anyhow, I enjoyed that finale, nicely written, hope y'all did too!



Approx Time: 4 hours
