I've seen a fair amount of fan material which basically amounts to Spike abandoning Twilight as he gets older, so the premise of this is that, in fact, he comes to visit regularly and even helps out against his own uppity brethren.



The only piece which I wasn't referencing from the shows material was the big "Marysue"-esk shield, I wanted to put in some reference of power for Twilight, who is tiny in comparison, but definitely able to stand on her own even if this kind of magic isn't apparent or actually shown in the show.



I think perhaps the greatest weakness of this picture is that it appears rather flat, which is something I hope to improve on in later works.



Some other thoughts I had:



The library/tree/house that Twilight lives in is incredibly complicated. I think I did a good job representing it, but I took a ton of liberties for the sake of time and perfection. I thought drawing Rarities hair was difficult, but duplicating that one background piece is a monumental task, and anyone dedicated to a 1>1 gets a solid 'A+' in my book, I think mine is probably a 'B-' or something to that effect.



Also, I've never attempted drawing any of the Dragons, so there is a lot of room for practice and accuracy there, but I was happy enough with the results in the end.



Overall, I'm really pleased with the way this turned out, despite all the shortcuts I took and I think its a great study of all of the major elements that go into making just one scene.
