Fanart - MLP. After Duel

Commission for

Here's Fantasy Rouge, about to lay some serious punishment on whatever or whoever just broke into her magic studio. It's not easy being a wizard. You'd either blow yourself up when mixing potions, or you'll botch a spell casting, or some sort of ancient evil creature/rival/monster/whatever will sense your magic energy and want to defeat you into a pile of ash. That ain't going to be a problem for Fantasy. She's going to kick some serious flank and take no prisoners while she's at it.

This one almost got away from me to turn into a greyscale picture. I started with the crosshatching and before I realized I was adding shading to the walls, the floor, and textures left and right. It's what happens when I enjoy working on a drawing way too much. I'll also say here that Fantasy Rouge is one of my favorite OCs I've ever drawn. I'm not sure what it is, but I really dig the way she looks, and the fact that she's a straight-up magician. Another thing I was going for was to make this drawing look like it could be in a Dungeons & Dragons handbook. You know, like those illustrations that are just inked with a somewhat simplistic background. I hope I got close in that regard.

We need more badass magician ponies, don't you guys think?

I hope you all enjoyed the drawing! Please, feel free to let me know what you think in the comments.
