Outshined

I spent far too many hours on this… XD

I guess the backstory to this pic if it were to have one: Twinkleshine became jealous of Twilight Sparkles’ success. Though she too, was able to make it into Celestia’s school for gifted unicorns, Twinkleshine always felt as if she was living in the shadow of her classmate. Her hard work and achievements always paling in comparison to the gifted unicorn. Many years later, once news had reached Canterlot about the Elements of Harmony and their defeat of Nightmare Moon, Twinkleshine heard that Twilight had become the Element of Magic. She now spends her days locked in deep research at the Canterlot archives in hopes of one day surpassing her rival.

Yeah. XD

I thought about putting more into the background, but everything I came up with seemed to take away from the effect of the foreground… Maybe next time.

hehe, as do I! It's funny, originally I wasn't, but she kept sneaking into sketches and doodles and before I knew it she had grown on me. :D

Awww, sad backstory-- but still a really neat picture. I particularly like the magic effects, and the lighting works well for the tone of the picture.

Thank you very, very much! Sometime, perhaps soon, I might be revisiting this idea. I've been saying for a long time I've wanted to make a story/askblog about this sort of thing, I've just had a hard time clearing my plate to get to it XD

Thank you again! :3

It would be great if it was her, and not Trixie, that ended up being the Rival in S3E5.

Good job with the picture!

hehe yeah! That would've been something else for sure. Would've spun a few heads :p

Sorry for the late reply, took an unexpected break there for a long time. XD

I really love the backstory!! It's always great when personalities can be applied to those who are otherwise just hasbro's "extra" toys or background characters.
