:COMM: Caught in a Trap?

Added 2019-01-18 19:57:27 +0000 UTC

Hello everyone,

this is a new finished commission that I can show to you. It's for Balint Kollar, one of my awesome Patrons and he commissioned me to draw a FOE version of Starlight Glimmer in an intense scene, being in danger and in a dynamic pose.

In this drawing, a huge beast we sadly can't see right now is hunting down the already wounded unicorn mare until she finds herself trapped as she has to face a huge stone wall. Any second counts now and decides over life or death. Is she going to fight for her survival? Will she be able to escape by teleportation? After all, her horn got destroyed... broken during a previous fight that left her scarred and wounded on her forehoof and horn. The poor one...

I wanted to give this image a very dirty and rough look to it, making it look as harsh as the scene itself in a dirty dusty wasteland which is nothing for sensitive souls. I wanted to create that sort of effect with textured brushes and many layers overlaying each other, additionally adding some sparks of dust and eath here and there, making the background look rough and focussing on Starlight's facial expression, which I'm really happy about.

I kept the shadow on her that was actually a coincidence at first XD When I took a photo of the sketch for the commissioner to look at, I accidentally caused a shadow over her that looked like a monster was standing in front of her, leaning over her perhaps. And then we just kept the idea, hehe^^

I really hope you like this piece :) I'm pleased with how it turned out ;)

Time: Around 3 to 4 Hours
