In 2015, we were getting very tired of doing our stories within the MLP setting, for various reasons. The show wasn't capturing our imagination at the time, we wanted hands so that we could be more expressive in our writing. So we decided to rebuild the setting from scratch, while keeping the story we'd written.
In the change over, all of our ponies became faeries of various types, and the world itself got a complete makeover. As part of that, I drew a lot of characters from the forum as faeries.
Every couple of years, I try and redraw my OCs from this setting (and Alice is an OC at this point, she's based on Twilight but the two aren't the same person anymore) to show my growth as an artist, and her growth as a character in the story.
Soooo yeah. Hope y'all enjoy it!! I'm very proud of how this one came out. If people are interested I might show the older versions as well!!
