Oh my god. Where’d the background go? Yeah, I know, spooky right? Must’ve been that sneaky, thieving Solars-es. She stole the precious’ background. Gollum is hard to do in text, a’ight?
 
So, our queen is finding it harder than expected to play the princess. To be frank, I messed up the facial expression very early-on and figured the speech would give context.
 

 
Regardless, this drawing was a long time coming, not only because I could find endless things to ’fix’ with it but also because I was not very productive over the Christmas and post-Christmas period.  
​
 
To nit-pick myself, as usual, I dislike the background as a whole and found that my shadows don’t quite reach the edge of their respective places (presumably due to one of my effects.) just before I wanted to upload this, so I really did not want to edit the shadows. Especially when I had rasterized that layer a looooong time ago.

I know the crown is cut off, by the way. To be honest, I forgot it for a while and didn’t want to change my aspect ratio or cut off the foot. Also, yes, that is my handwriting. Look, there was a delay with my paintbrush because Photoshop hates me and my computer’s specs aren’t the best.

The next one I plan to do will be a pony once again, this time I plan to really spend some time watching speed-painters, looking through pictures, looking up tips and tutorials etc before I put it up. So it may be a while. I’m debating whether to do Applejack or Rainbow, since Rainbow is, well, rainbow-coloured. Which may be interesting. On the other hand, Applejack has Winona (I think that’s the spelling) who may be fun to draw. I’ve done Pinkie and I did Fluttershy on Derpibooru and Deviantart. I guess Rarity and Twilight are options too. Oooo, maybe I’ll do Twilight… Wings and magic may make a nice effect if I have some light behind or something. Okay, now I’m just rambling with ambitions, I’ll do what I do. Things are sure to change, as they always do.

Regardless, I have a story that I need to update, since Darkest Light: Lone Wolf has had no love for a good week or two.
