Frustration in Excelsis
Worldbuilding Addict
If I had a penny for every time the tag “implied Roman Empire” was used on this site I’d have two pennies.
Which isn’t much, but it’s weird that it’s relevant twice.
I was originally going to do actual dragonflies, because they’re already very cool, but I thought “This is Equestria… the sky’s the limit” so I went with a dragonfly/mantis/butterfly/firefly hybrid. Too much? Maybe. But then the picture started as one with just Pinkie, and then Twilight was added, and then once I thought of the dragon/insect theme, well… Fluttershy and Spike became a must. So it’s really just a minor doodle that kept growing on its own.Summer is winding down and we’re heading into Fall (hopefully… we’ll see when the heat finally breaks for good), so this works as the bookend to summer with the Trixie/Starlight one. Hopefully you enjoy it as a peaceful capper to the summer nights and that you and yours found a bit of magic in the season!
This is an image that has been lingering on my Patreon since Spring, and I kept forgetting to share it here as well…Those of you who know my tastes might know that I’m not a huge fan of Starlight Glimmer… I have various issues with her backstory and her use in the show, as well as how it affected the cast balance and such.Of course, that doesn’t mean that I hate her, or that I don’t appreciate some of the things that was done with her… or all of her episodes. The Road to Friendship was one of the better episodes of the late seasons, I thought. It helps that I’m a big Trixie fan, and I love her caravan, so there’s that…In this case, I happened to work on a 3D model of Trixie’s wagon to print out and paint with my 3d printer, and as long as I had the asset, I figured why not use it for an image? Plus I was inspired by the change in the seasons as we head into the summer months with warm nights, and childhood memories of stretching those late evenings out as long as possible. I hope people enjoy the peaceful image above.The usual stuff: After being told to do so numerous times, I have set up a tip jar at Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/harwicksart
If you’re feeling generous and would like to encourage me, feel free to drop me a small amount… it would be most appreciated!
