Because for so long we only had illustrations of Star Swirl, just like a lot of other people, I also had my own idea how he looked.I thought it would be fun to drew that next to the actual one.Lot of stuff from that design I ended up using for my headcanon look of him.----------------------------------------------------------------------------Character and MLP:FiM (c) Lauren Faust, HasbroArtwork (c) meNo stealing.
