Creative title is creative.In all seriousness, I couldn't go away for the holiday and Key West without uploading something >_< So I opted to finish Sunset Shimmer's portrait as part of the trio of family members in her immediate household. Well, the one she had before her enrollment into Celestia'sanyway. From that broken household came a pony whose only ambition was to be the absolute best in her field of heightened magic potential, no matter the cost, even if it meant closing herself off to any avenue of friendship. In her eyes, friendship and all its qualities were weaknesses, and in her family, there's no room for weakness. Myeah, her folks aren't the best role models Seriously, what's there to say about Sunset Shimmer that hasn't already been said, retold and done to death? Well, a lot! LoL I plan to explore more of her past in my upcoming Sunset Shimmer comic and fanfic, which I will reveal in due time once they're re-edited and I have the first page completedI plan on taking some files with me while visiting my mom so that I can try and get some work done on it, that way I'll have something ready to be edited and upload when I get back.It's kind of strange, but in a weird way, I imagine this image to be a bit of a Thanksgiving tribute. If it weren't for Sunset Shimmer's character, I never would've been inspired to be creative and artistic again; at least, not in the magnitude I felt after my 7 year hiatus away from DA. Unlike most Sunset artists and enthusiasts out there, my inspiration didn't stem from. Before there was even a Sunset bandwagon, I was part of the small % who genuinely found her interesting and full of untapped potential after seeing the firstfilm. In a way, I kind of miss those days; when I was allowed to imagine all sorts of scenarios and stories for the formerly obscure and ostracized pony-turned-human. But it's okay! Though her character is kinda being wrung a little dry IMO now, I still love her and want to thank her creators for conceptualizing such a cool and captivating character. Without her, I wouldn't have found my muse. Happy belated Sunset Shimmer Day! If you're interested in checking out my designs for her parents, you can find them here:Eventually, I'll combine all three to create a kind of family portrait collage thingy~I want to take the time to thank all of my close friends (you know who you are) for being there as I continue to grow and learn as an artist and visual storyteller. It means so much to have your presence during streams and even outside of them, and to know I have your love and support means a lot to me. I may not be as communicative nowadays, but my attitude remains the same, so thank you! My appreciation and love go out to those of you who've continued to follow my work, leave comments and check out my pieces as well
