The Final Assault

Rarity's final assault on the crab king's forces!

My god I spent way too long on this but it's some what done now so I decided to upload it!
This was made as a part of the fan generated episode the Cutie Art Crusaders are doing with the crab battle theme.

CRAB BATTLE PART 3! The RE-FAN-CRABENING!WELL HELLO! Berndicus the crab-slayer here, to give you lovely ponies a little bit of info on an upcoming experiment that we will be doing.
TL;DR If you don't want to read this huge wall of text here's me reading the entire thing!
The Rundown:
In April, we are going to attempt to make a fan-generated-content-episode.
How that works, is starting now, we'd like to ask you! Our fans! To create pony-art of a specific theme so we can feature and highlight all the work submitted to create a super-awesome-fan-sode-thing.
Our theme for this episode will be: CRAB BATTLE!
All you have to do to make it in the episode, is by the 11th of April, create a piece of Rarity (or whatever pony) fighting a giant crab, upload it to DevaintArt, then send us the link to your deviation to our email account: cutieartcrusaders@gmail.com with "Crab Battle" written some

Great work! I love the color of the crystals on the rock while reflecting the light, and how Rarity's magic looks liquid-y while holding the sword for dear life. Her eyes reflect how awe-struck she is while looking at the sword, momentarily forgetting the dangerous crabs around her. The lava effect is breathtaking; it almost looks as if you took an actual picture of lava and pasted it onto the painting. Also, the shafts of light in the distance are a very nice touch.

One thing I have a small problem with...I can't see the crabs very well. I had to read the description and then look at the painting again in order to see the crabs. I think you could either make them bigger, or have more light on them, because Rarity holding the sword is a little distracting, if I might say. Speaking of Rarity, this is a really stupid thing to point out, but where are her eyelashes? This might be because of my obsession with eyelashes, but I only see one eyelash on her eye. Wait, never mind, I just zoomed in on the photo and saw more eyelashes. But still, I could barely see them.

Overall, it's a great piece. Keep up the good work! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="

Celestia, I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you will remember if we were good men or bad, why we fought, or why we died. No, all that matters is that one stood against many, that's what's important. Valor pleases you, Celestia, so grant me one request, grant me clean hair! And if you do not listen, then to hell with you!
