“So I started out doing a practise render of a face, which became Sunset Shimmer in her Daydream form, but I couldn’t be bothering to draw her body, so I put her in a portal, which then inspired me to show what was on the other side of the portal, so I ended up with this moment in the middle of the fight where Sunset and Celestia come face to face for just a moment. It took me days and days to finish Sunset’s version, but Celestia was so much fun I finished her in a day.
I hope the effect I was aiming for has come through.”
