Queen Nocta and her guard meet the day pony on their territory.

This whole lineart exercise is going a little off the rails at this point, but I hope I’ll be able to tie it all together. Doing the background is going to be a challenge; as I’ve never been really good at it, compounded farther by almost 3 years of dust on me artisifying bits. But at least the lineart turned out somewhat serviceable, eh? :)

sadly, but ran out of time and couldn't finish

Chaos ponies are pretty fun to work with. Once you push past a certain boundary when dealing with such a fluffy subject matter, it can feel pretty liberating just doing whatever you want with the canvas at that point. I think I might have some fun with this new addition to the roster.  Perhaps she’ll need some friends. >:D

When an Empress’ Filly meets an Iron Hoof, age old rivalries arise.  --- Just trying to do some lineart on an unfamiliar pen tablet, in the dead of night . Turned out a lot better than I expected. :D
