Fanart - MLP. This is so confusing

Commission for

This one took an insane amount of time for something as simple as this. The poses aren't anything special, but it's still five characters in a fully colored picture with a background. It was definitely worth the time, not every day I get to draw these guys in the same picture. Plus I need to draw more Shining Armor and Cadence together, even if Shiny is all confused and not sure what he just walked into.

We can safely assume that Fake Cadence and Fake Twilight are changelings, what with the green magic, and the glowing green eyes, and being all discolored. I also removed their cutie marks. I think it makes sense, why would a changeling recreate the pony's cutie mark if their talent is already established as copying other ponies? I don't know, I liked the idea of Changelings being unable to recreate the cutie mark of a pony.

Enjoy the preamble to a fight for Shining Armor's confusion!
