Artist’s comments:
 
This is the latest in a series of drawings I’ve done of famous architectural sites around Equestria. Now, before you start groaning I want to say something. No I do not like the design of Twilight’s castle. It is something of a train wreck when it comes to design, and I am using the term “design” very loosely here. It’s a slapdash collection of elements that looks the architect firm that built the Skeksis Castle for The Dark Crystal then went and built the Sleeping Beauty Castle, but decided for financial reasons to use all the leftover materials from the first project to construct the next one.
 
I think the original library was much nicer, but Tirek, and the Hasbro Execs, have blown it up so now we have this. In some ways I guess the castle’s design mirrors the somewhat awkward, adorkable elements of Twilight’s personality. Hopefully Earth-Pony will have this available as laser etched/cut on wood at Bronycon this July.
 
I hope you like what you see. Please help make more art like this possible by supporting me at Patreon.

Eh, I’ve genuinely always loved it, I love the concept of the throne room and the map table, I really like the crystals and the general colour scheme, and it’s all very fitting considering where it comes from and all (and I really love the rooms we’ve seen), I love Golden Oaks too, Castle Sweet Castle was the perfect commemoration for it I found and helped the castle feel more like a home for Twilight (which of course was the point), the two designs are opposites in many regards so it’s no surprise that there’s mixed opinions.
 
Either way, opinions and all, and IMO, you’ve done a fantastic job here, well done! ❤️
