Everfree Forest by emlan

I think it was cute in Stare Master how Twilight mentions she's gonna head over to Zecora's house to pick up some of her favorite tea...

I can imagine since Zecora seem to have such great knowledge of plants and whatnot she'd be happy to educate Twilight further on the area. Here they are looking up some rarities!

Wow, this is a killer image. Your use of value makes everything aspect of the image "pop" so well that I my eyes are drawn everywhere. Nicely done.

Spooky place, but interesting to explore. Especially with someone who knows it well.

Like this - very atmospheric.

I'm not scared of this forest at all. I find it more natural than the rest of Equestria

What did you use to make this piece? c:

emlan Featured By Owner Sep 22, 2012

Open Canvas 3.3, same method as here; [link]

Apparently Lauren Faust wanted Zecora to turn into a secondary mentor for Twilight Sparkle but it didn't pan out. Maybe too complicated for the toy-selling cartoon Hasbro wants.

I love the atmosphere in this deviation

Yeap, the dark forest.

I hope Twi doesn't see that snake!

Really amazing artwork, though. Keep it up!

AllHailWeegee Featured By Owner Oct 30, 2011

The one beauty in that little world of darkness.

That's so awesome!

I love this indefinitely.

StormdancerGryphon Featured By Owner Oct 27, 2011 Writer

Ooooh, I like that. The color saturation and detail density work really well together.

FelixSoapMacTavish Featured By Owner Oct 26, 2011

you know this reminds me of the living forest stage in mortal kombat

HareTrinity Featured By Owner Oct 23, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

Aww, that's sweet. Yeah, I thought it was nice that she apparently became the village tea salesman after that, ha...

rinacat Featured By Owner Oct 16, 2011 Hobbyist Artist

Can I just stand over here and be awed by the details you put into this piece? Because, I cannot come up with better words to describe how gorgeous this is.

Howlgram Featured By Owner Oct 14, 2011

Nice! ^^

i would suggest you to practice lighting, even though this pic is great

it seems that it is all equally lighted

emlan Featured By Owner Oct 15, 2011

If I made it as dark as it should be almost all the motif would be lost...

Howlgram Featured By Owner Oct 15, 2011

i dont think that would happen with just a little darkness so that it is discernible that there is more light where the ponies are

emlan Featured By Owner Oct 15, 2011

I didn't want the flowers to give off a too hard shine since the forest is what I really wanted to show off, I can see where you are coming from though.

Howlgram Featured By Owner Oct 16, 2011

okey dokey lokey! ^^
I sometimes give suggestions on ppl's art (hopefully helping), but sometimes i dont respect their styles and instead of helping i just say what i would have done, sooo, sorry for that, k? ^^

emlan Featured By Owner Oct 17, 2011

No it's always good to get inputs so keep it up

rasenth Featured By Owner Oct 5, 2011

WOW! Love the scenery!

zambicandy Featured By Owner Oct 4, 2011

Man this is just so beautiful! Lovely details and coloring

Love the light coming off the flowers too!

AK71 Featured By Owner Oct 2, 2011

Awesome! Everfree Forest looks like my sort of place to explore. And I love the details like including Twilight's saddlebags in case she finds anything interesting she can take home to study

madman12000 Featured By Owner Oct 2, 2011

Everfree looks like a pretty bitchin place, actually.

anti-tanX Featured By Owner Oct 2, 2011

so colorful!

bleuphoria Featured By Owner Oct 2, 2011 Professional General Artist

Oh wow this is amazing, Emlan! Totally stunned by the composition and details in this scene.

brianne333 Featured By Owner Oct 2, 2011 Professional Digital Artist

I always love seeing your "full" pieces like this, because you always add the most amazing details and you always include such natural looking texture. This is just a fantastic, well-thought-out scene!

TNBCCBARTIST247 Featured By Owner Oct 1, 2011 Student General Artist

Lovely design and style you did in this piece,including the details to bring this art to life.

Tuume Featured By Owner Oct 1, 2011 Writer

This is of such great quality; it's like a screencap from the show. I love how you portray the friendship between Zecora and Twilight with common interests.
