The cover art for my story project "Queen of Crimson Crows. It was the first major project using Clip Studio Paint, which I may use going forward I rather like it. Took me approximately 5.5 hours, while it has some flaws I'm rather proud of how it turned out.

Story description:

It has been almost one year since Twilight Sparkle ascended to rule Equestria along with her friends. The turbulent times are behind them, even if the year has been shaky at best. With the Grand Galloping Gala rolling out soon, she is eager for a relatively straightforward night with her former mentor.

That plan, however, falls through when the mother of said mentor smashes the party and a chunk of Twilight's jaw.

Mahogany Bloodmist, Queen of the Vamponies and mother of the two retired princesses, turns out to be a much more abrasive pony than Twilight could have ever anticipated, and that's putting it mildly. Yet her presence puts into motion a series of unexpected turns that forever change the lives of those around her. Twilight is going to need to find a way to earn her respect and friendship if she has any chance of survival.

All the while, Starlight Glimmer becomes intertwined in the history surrounding the circumstances of her childhood.

And could Discord be more ingrained in these events more than even he knows?

I've spent nearly the entirety of 2020 planning the story out, the prologue is up already and I'm halfway done with Episode 1, check it out if you want, it means a lot if you do. I'm gonna go get some sleep, I spent all night drawing this.

Stay safe, and maybe do something you personally enjoy today.
